More Good Times at the Good Night

I guess some habits are forming -- we tried the Good Night Diner for dinner the other night and loved it, so we tried it for brunch last Sunday.  It was truly wonderful -- hand-cured bacon, all homemade breads and pastries and a great selection of entrees.  Some gourmands at our table thought that the eggs benedict were the best they had ever had.  Enjoy!  DrippingSpringsLife.com

Good Times at the Good Night Diner

We tried the new Goodnight Diner (formerly on Mercer Street) in Wimberley last night.  Everything was delish -- we sampled  roasted chicken, pierogi and of course chicken and waffles!  The place is charming and in nice weather, diners can enjoy lush outdoor seating.  DrippingSpringsLife.com
