James,

You may get a better response from the austin.food newsgroup - Austin
is closer than Houston.  I've spent some time in Wimberly and know
that there are some good places there.  But I'd suggest you cast your
net a little wider.  San Marcos is just down the road a piece, and has
some good places too.

Also, if you are driving up to Wimberly via I-10, then thru Luling to
San Marcos to Wimberly (the way I usually go) consider the following:
 
1) Take US-90 Alternate instead of I-10.  Go through Hallotsville and
   Shiner.  Much better scenery.  Also there is a great little German
   restaurant just across the street from the Shiner brewery -
   wonderful pastry.
2) Stop at the Luling City Market for barbecue.
3) Stop in Prarie Lea at the bakery (there's only one; Prarie Lea is
   hardly bigger than a postage stamp) and get some Kolaches and pecan
   squares.
4) Slow down in Martindale -it is a notorious speed trap.
