It is our Valentine's Day tradition to have dinner here. This is our third year in a row and it couldn't have been more different than the two prior. I arrived for a 7:30 reservation at 7:39 and was told I would need to wait a bit for a table because my original table was given away since I was 15 minutes late (I wasn't even 10 minutes late). Upon being sat, I was welcomed with a note on a heart shaped piece of paper letting me know it's a busy night and table time is limited to 90 minutes. This is a high-end steakhouse. We spent over $300 for dinner for two people, this is not the type of establishment that should be rushing it's patrons. I appreciate the need to turn tables, but at a steakhouse where you typically order a bottle of wine, an appetizer, a salad, an entree, etc. that cannot be paced appropriately in such a short time. I will give the restaurant a 10/10 for food, and our server was lovely, but this felt like the experience you'd get at a chain restaurant, not a high-end steakhouse. Unfortunately won't be back next year and will be finding a new steakhouse to continue our tradition. read more

Soup and salad were delicious. Cocktails were average, nothing special. Steaks were underseasoned and overcooked. Sides were just ok. Dessert was amazing! Service was very good. Probably won't be back, quality doesn't match price. read more

This is a charming steak house with quiet sophisticated atmosphere. The service is attentive although the entree's took longer the expected but to be honest the wait was worth it. The Delmonico ribeye was exquisite and the sushi grade tuna melted in my mouth. It's a bit pricey but probably the best meal we've had in Rehoboth. read more

The staff was amazing. Everyone was friendly and very attentive to our needs. The biggest disappointment was their menu was completely different with what the Internet said. Not a lot of selection and the prices were way over the top. we did not care for the meal we selected at all. I don't know why they changed their menu at the last minute. read more

The steaks are the best in this area. They offer many options to top your steaks, but they are seared and have plenty of flavor. This establishment is small and intimate so you get superb service. The staff offer suggestions on food and drink options. The table gets complimentary biscuits which are served fresh and warm. Enjoy! read more

Houston White - Steakhouses Near Me - Rehoboth Beach, Delaware

This was our 3rd year celebrating our wedding anniversary at this establishment. Every single year it has blown us away. I promise you, this steak is the BEST you will ever have! I don't know about you, but in our country's current economy it's near impossible to find a great steak. Houston White always delivers. Our server was Kelly and, just like last year, she was phenomenal. Very attentive and knowledgeable regarding the menu! My husband had two old fashions with Basil Hayden, and he said they were made very well! To start, I had a Caesar Salad which was massive and delicious! My husband had the soup of the day, a seafood chowder... Outstanding! We both had filet mignon (one 6oz and one 10oz) medium rare, which was made to perfection. We ordered two sides, THE BEST MAC AND CHEESE YOU'LL EVER HAVE I PROMISE YOU! and the potato wedges (which were good not great). Although we were absolutely stuffed, we decided to spilt the peanut butter pie for dessert. If you're still reading this review, I'll leave you with this. If we didn't live in Jersey, we would make this restaurant a frequent date night! I promise you, you will not regret it. read more

Impeccable service and food Sunday 4.30.23 5pm. This was our first time here. *Drinks: Razz A Tini, Old Fashioned, La Crema Chardonnay, 20 yr Fladgate Tawny Port *Shrimp Cargot App *Filet With Horseradish Cream & Butter Poached Lobster Tail Add On *Lobster Thermidor *Sides - Mashed & Green Beans *Chocolate Mousse Cake Cozy banquette seating and classy atmosphere. Food was delicious. The complimentary cheddar biscuits served hot right at the beginning gets the experience off on the right foot. Shrimp Cargot was a scrumptious, cute word play served on an escargot plate. Filet was cooked spot on. I have never had Thermidor served with lightly dressed greens and frites on the side. It works. Cocktails were well made. Excellent experience. Highly recommend. read more

I am going to start off with saying that Andriy is an ABSOLUTE GEM! Hold on to him for as long as you can! He absolutely made our experience one we will remember for a long time! We came here for our 2nd anniversary before we get married Jan 1st. Honestly I am so incredibly blown away from making the reservation, to us walking out the happy tummies and the best dining experience we have ever had. We started with the Shrimp Cargot and it was good absolutely perfect! It was enough to get our tummies excited for what was to come. We decided to have our cheddar biscuits with the honey butter. Ummm.. WOW! For our main dishes we ordered the pan roasted duck breast, 6oz filet mignon, with butter poached lobster tail and brussels sprouts. We've never had duck before and with the recommendation of Andriy, we had it cooked Med Rare.. Everything melted in your mouth. It was by far one is the best meals we've ever eaten. There was melted butter served with the lobster tail, but we ended up dipping the duck in to it and WOW!! We decided on the peanut butter pie and chocolate heaven pie for dessert too. Again, blown away! We can't wait to visit again soon! This place is so romantic and the mood is very very easy to cozy up to with a special someone. The prices and total cost for the meal was also very fair for what you ordered. read more

We had a very good meal at this restaurant. The service was good and portions generous. My wife asked for extra olives in her martini and they charged $ 2.00 for the extra olives. Our check was $178.00 for two people. The $2.00 for olives seemed "mickey mouse" to us. We have not returned. read more

Hands down the best steak restaurant in Sussex County. The service is impeccable - everything is paced at the right interval. Careful attention is paid to drinks and special requests with food. And the FOOD is always perfect. It feels like fine dining in NYC. The ambiance is very upscale. This is where you take someone you love, business associates you want to impress, and where you have your life milestone events. Love this place. read more

We were in Rehoboth DE for the weekend and did what we always do and turned to Yelp for a recommendation. 5* made us confident we wouldn't be disappointed, yet we were. Located on the main street a few blocks off the beach,in an old house. The greeting we received at the front desk was lacking enthusiasm and warmth. Most of the tables in the front room were empty, yet we were seated in a corner in a back room Our server Tyler was friendly. We checked in and noticed an offer for free onion rings, Tyler was unaware and said he'd need to check. We proceeded to order and assumed that when onion rings arrived, they were honoring the yelp coupon. The wine list is average. Usually, a steakhouse is better. Also, I expect 2x on average markup for a restaurant. Their bottles seem approx 3x, so we only ordered a glass each. $16 a glass, decent size pour. Wedge salad was bib lettuce with blue cheese, candied bacon, tomatoes, and egg. It does state Bib lettuce, though I was surprised and disappointed because I love a traditional iceberg Wedge. Candied bacon was rock had. Oysters Rockefeller arrived as a massive pile of cooked spinach on top of three oysters. See picture, not appealing. The Oysters themselves were not separated at all from the shell and tasted fishy. They give you one biscuit with honey butter. Additional biscuits are 4 for $8 Green beans were cooked perfectly, though more butter than I prefer. Horseradish sauce with onion rings was delicious Our steaks were cooked to the requested temperature and were high quality. They ask you to cut into the center when they serve to check the temperature There was more blue cheese than steak on my plate though. Overall, I feel the meal was overpriced. What really disappointed me was the manager's reaction to the Yelp offer. Our bill came and we were charged $14 for the onion rings. Right as the bill arrived, the manager was making rounds asking tables how their meals were. I asked her about the yelp coupon and she immediately stated "it's a scam, we didn't put it on there" and "Be careful what you do on yelp, it's a scam" I told her we only ordered them because of the coupon, she repeated the statement above and walked away. A few minutes later, our waiter came over and said they were going to remove them from our bill. Then the manager came back over and repeated "Be careful what you do on yelp, it's a scam" They clearly thought they were doing us a favor taking $14 off our bill of $222. What we ate: Wedge salad Oysters Rockefeller 6oz filet with blue cheese Ribeye Green beans Onion rings My rating rationale +.5 Service +.5 Food~Taste/flavor/quality +.5 Presentation +1 Atmosphere/vibe +.5 Value read more

Steak was good enough- not prime - The medium rare filets had an impenetrable gray wall. Ugh. Unacceptable for an $85. 10 oz filet. The Brussels sprouts were undercooked and still sprouting !!!! The biscuits taste like the red lobster mix biscuit. Shrimp cocktail were indescribable - just off. Not bad. Baked potato was the best thing in the menu SORRY!! I have gone to this restaurant for 6 years and this was so bad tonight read more

Came here for dinner. Very cute place. Great atmosphere! Yummy biscuits. Ceaser salad- dressing was bland. Potato leek soup was amazing. Delmonico ribeye was cooked perfect and had excellent flavor. Potato logs are large steak fries and they were great. Great beans were blah. Great service. Would recommend overall. Very satisfied. read more

Went here because a friend said it was the best place around for a steak. We made a 5:15 reservations and were seated as soon as we arrived. Took our drink order and then we sat. After 10 minutes they realized we had no menus and apologized. We then started with the crab imperial dip which was the best we ever had. The only downside is they give 4 small toast triangles which is not enough and takes away from the dip. Then ordered the crab cakes and Salisbury steak special that was recommended. The crab cakes are a 7 out of 10 however the Salisbury steak was just a $44.00 meatloaf that needed onions and peppers in the mix. We finished dinner and it seemed like 15 minutes until the server came back. He then cleared the table and asked if we wanted anything else. We had to ask if the offered desert in which they did. That was yet another 20 minutes to order and get the desert. The place has a great atmosphere, fairly cramped for space and very slow service. We were there for over 2 hours and had a bill over $230 for 2 without a tip. If you have time to just hang out and want a great atmosphere, this is the place to go. If you want a great meal and service at a fair value, then go to the steakhouse at the Midway shopping center. My wife & I eat 2-3 dinners a week out in Rehoboth & Lewes area and do not think we would go back. There are 2 many restaurants in the area with better food and service read more

I was surprised to find this well reviewed steakhouse nearly empty on an October Sunday. Still our server, Andre, provided a good sense of hospitality. I began with a HWCO-hattan, which tasted like a Bourbon Negroni, La Portena had a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. Both were very good. Next up were biscuits, with honey butter. Warm, flaky, and tender, I wish our server had left us the third one. For apps we shared the lamb pops and the wedge salad. The lamb chops were among the best I tasted, with the sort of deep flavor you will find in North African cooking. The wedge salad was not a slouch, but it was not exactly a wedge either, the Bibb leaves had been arranged in a loose pile. I followed Andre's recommendation and ordered a glass of a red blend which went well with the Delmonico steak. The beef was perfectly portioned for one, about 14 oz., and precisely medium rare. It came with greens on the side. I plumped for the deep Bordelaise for an extra kick. The saucier knows her stuff. La Portena had the duck breast, which was also perfectly cooked to temperature, tender, with two accompaniments -- a mustard sauce, and a fruit conserve. The kitchen's only stumble was the creamed spinach - not enough greens to handle the overly rich sauce. It left us unable to risk a dessert. I'll try the roasted Brussels sprouts next time. read more

First time at Houston White Co. and won't be the last. I've been wanting to go for a while now and so glad tonight was the night! I think we just found our place to celebrate special occasions! My boyfriend and I had the NY Strip and it was cooked perfectly. He said that it was the best steak he's ever had! It melted in your mouth and was probably one of the best I've had, as well. Our server Kelly, was amazing and so sweet! She was very attentive and gave us the perfect recommendations when asking questions about what we should try! We can't wait to come back again!! Thank you, Houston White Co. for making our "date night" perfect! read more

This restaurant is way over priced for what you get. Ordered a side dish for the table not even a serving spoon or small plate to go with it. Took endless time to get served between appetizer and main course, kept getting "oh it will come out soon". Definitely will not go back. $85 dollars for a just OK steak is crazy at the beach. read more

Go to Outback. Shrimp were very bad, Caesar salad was acceptable, mushrooms rancid, sprouts still sprouting, and steaks were poorly cooked

Who knew such a great steakhouse existed in Rehoboth. The Ribeye was cooked a perfect medium and the twin lobsters was cooked to perfection. Service was great. This is located close to Cultured Pearl. We ordered several side dishes and my favorites were the onion rings and loaded baked potato. They also make a great Old Fashioned. read more

So glad my fellow Yelpers suggested this place and it did not disappoint. I would suggest calling ahead for reservations although we walked in and were seated immediately at an outdoor patio table. For persons desiring strict Covid precautions this is not an ideal location. It's a 15 minute walk from the boardwalk and a 5 minute Uber. Street parking is severely limited. Our server Adam was adept. He guided our dining choices with a grace and savoir faire. I ordered the house Old Fashioned which is made with Jim Beam and it was deliciously mature. For dinner I had a ribeye perfectly made. Never ordered one better. The creamed spinach and onion rings tasted as if they were freshly picked from a garden and prepared by Chef Jacques Pepin. Magnificent. My only regret is that I didn't get dessert. Maybe I should order one tomorrow for the trip back home? read more

This is my favorite restaurant anywhere. I come here every time I am in town. Has a dark-wood ambience of an old steakhouse. Seats less than 70 in 3 rooms so the atmosphere is cozy. Not a quiet place, but you are at the beach! Love to start off with a cocktails at the small bar that wraps around Rehoboth's best bartender: Hoge. Always entertaining to be served by him. Everything on the menu is amazing. They start you off with complimentary cheddar biscuits and honey butter: beyond delicious. Deserts are also spectacular. If you are lucky enough to go when they have bread pudding with bacon, get it! read more

Amazing restaurant. And phenomenal drinks. If you go ask for RILEY. I had her "feed Me" where I told her my hunger level. My allergies and reservations (which happen to be none) and she delivered. Not only with her options but also her attention and skills as a waitress. Highly recommend. Her and the restaurant! read more

Tried this local steakhouse while on vacation at bethany beach. The space is great for date night or group setting (we went with our 2 kids). The food is good (def recommend the Mac and cheese), the biscuits were really good. The steak sauces are overpriced and really not good (we tried bernaise and au poivre). All in all, great place for dinner. read more

Food was high priced for what you get. Nice ambiance and friendly. Had to keep asking our waiter for water. I have been to many restaurants and the best steak houses nationally, but next time, I will skip Houston White and cook my steaks at home. read more

My partner and I had a lovely time at Houston White, but our server Dennis gets most of the credit. He was very nice and perfectly attentive. The food was good. Their biscuits were delicious. We ordered Shrimp Cargot and a small cheese plate, which were very good and big enough to share. For dinner we both ordered 6 oz filets and the shareable creamed spinach. Loved the spinach. My steak was ordered med-rare plus and my partner's was supposed to be med-rare. Unfortunately, they didn't come out that way. Mine was prepared med-well plus and hers was medium. We were informed that to cook another steak would take 20 min. That was too long so we ate the medium steak and had the other taken off the bill. Also, the quality of the meat was average. For a steak house, they definitely missed the mark. But given the quality service and the rest of the food, we enjoyed our experience. read more

We dined here over Labor Day weekend. We had a party of 6 and we're promptly seated. We started with drinks around the table. We had the old fashioned, the apple of my eye, the Martini, we also had a bubbly and a Sauvignon blanc. We opted for some appetizers including the wedge which was deconstructed by nature, the harvest salad which was burrata with pesto. We had the shrimp-cargot that was served like escargot in a delicious butter and garlic sauce. We also had the Swedish meatballs. The appetizers were all good to great the pasta with the Swedish meatballs could have been salted more than it was. For entrees they are mostly served a la carte. The sides are available for add on for 15.00. We had the special fish which was salmon cooked to perfection with a nice assortment of taste and flavor sauces. We had the scallops and risotto which were also cooked perfectly. The scallop dish was a very Generous portion. Three people opted for the ribeye steak which were all different temperatures but all cooked perfectly. Two opted for the salted baked potato , and the grilled asparagus. One had the Delaware set succotash which was a good spin on succotash. The substitution of Lima bean with edamame. Each persons entree came with a warmed butter biscuit and honey butter. We had a second round of drinks and dessert . We sampled the peanut butter and jelly bread pudding, the white on white cake , and the apple fruit cobbler. The cobbler was tasteless seemed over cooked and our least favorite . The others were very good. All in all we loved our dinner service was Excellent. We were impressed with the quality of food and the flavors. Everyone raved about their meals and were satisfied. The only complaints we had were the under-salted pasta appetizer, and the tasteless dessert apple cobbler. All in all we spent 708.00 pre tip for 6 people and cocktails. Try it you won't be disappointed. read more

Lovely restaurant. We had the potato leek soup, filet, airline chicken, mac n cheese and peanut butter pie. Everything was tasty, especially the Mac n cheese. The bread for the table is cheesy biscuits which were a bit dry , and the tables a bit tight. Nice atmosphere, and they brought complimentary champagne for our anniversary. read more

Love this place! Great steaks, perfectly made drinks, cool atmosphere with great service. What's not to like? Hidden gem and well worth it.

Incredible dinner and incredible customer service oriented staff. We happened upon this restaurant because of others yelp ratings and were not let down! It truly deserves 10 stars as the food was extremely flavorful and the staff were outstanding. We started with the cream of chicken and churro soup that was out of this world. We then had the wedge salad that you could tell was homegrown from Local farmers it was so fresh and flavorful. Finally for dinner I ordered the crabcakes and as a connoisseur of crabcakes having been raised in Maryland I would say it rates as one of the best with no filler. The succotash was so tasty and fresh. The strip steak was tender and had a nice flavor as well. I recommend ordering the demi-glaze for dipping. The beets and tomatoes were nice but save room for dessert. The philo dough /apple tart with ice cream was out of this world!!But really what made our dining experience so enjoyable where is Jake and Kathy who were so friendly Help guide our selections based on our questions and we're just wonderful. Highly recommend if you're in Rehobeth to visit this establishment . Incredible dining experience. read more

We visited Houston White during my birthday week. We have heard a lot of good things about it. This sets the expectations higher! We were not disappointed!!! We had pork belly satay for appetizer , and oh boy , it's the best pork belly I had here in US . The peanut sauce compliments very well . It is close to a "lechon"! Their caprese salad is so refreshing that I can eat it all day . The Tomahawk steak is the best steak we had. We ordered medium rare and it came out perfect!! It's so good that you don't need a steak sauce. We are definitely going back! read more
