Great food, drinks were tasty and huge. Fantastic service. The steak and seafood dinners were very good. Desserts were great. Service was fast and courteous. The bartender was friendly and knew how to make a martini! Will definitely be back! read more

Upscale steak house with pleasant decor. The steaks are as good as any fine steak house in the country. The only thing lacking is a broader wine list. read more

We had the special veal with waiter recommended blue cheese topping, 6oz filet, ribeye, short rib, asparagus side and seasonal veggies (green beans). Everyone enjoyed their meal, however ribeye was a touch over cooked. They serve you with an awesome cheesy salty roll and what tastes like honey butter. Excellent drinks as well. Very pricey and I believe this is because it's one of the only nicer steak places in downtown rehoboth. read more

Good steakhouse, not quite up to the level of 1776 on the highway. Drinks were well done. We had old fashions and manhattans. Caesar salad was disappointing. Steaks were excellent. Our table sampled the NY Strip, Filet mignon and the Ribeye. We also had several sides. The creamed spinach was so so and the baked potato and the Brussel sprouts were very good. Nice atmosphere and very good wait staff. Overall a very nice (and maybe overly expensive) evening! read more

We had a family dinner at Houston White this week for my husband's Birthday. The meal was awesome! Everything from appetizers to desserts were scrumptious and Riley took great care of our family. We were given the table in the front window which was very nice as well. Thanks to the bar tender (sorry I don't know your name!!), for opening the door before we got your and for taking a photo of us all for a memory! We had a great evening! read more

The atmosphere is terrific. My strip steak was grilled to perfection. And our waiter, Andre, was simply the best. This is our new favorite restaurant in Rehoboth. read more

This is the most overrated restaurant where I have ever dined in my life! My wife was out of town, so I decided to go there by myself. The first course was a Caesar salad that came out, actually very wet and soggy, and the dressing, if there was even dressing on it, had no taste at all. When the waiter asked me how much I enjoyed the Caesar salad I told him it was extremely average with no taste and wet. He was surprised at my honesty. I told him to please take the salad away from my table. He brought it into the kitchen, then came back with an actual reason why it was wet and had no taste and that they would take it off of my bill. They charge $16 for the Caesar salad, and everything on the menu not including the price of the entrées and some add-ons for the steaks are $16. They offer approximately 10 different housewives by the glass every single one of them is $16. Mushrooms, onion rings and any other vegetable they're all $16. This place is such a rip off. When I received the steak, it was delivered to me on a plate with some type of green garnish, look like a piece of lettuce sitting on top of it and nothing else. They didn't offer anything else with the steak, which was a 12 ounce New York strip that was $58. The steak was OK, and actually as I was eating it self it was a little salty and all I wanted to do with that point in time was to get out of the restaurant. the wine was average, and again $16 a glass for average wine there's not acceptable. I am only writing this review to try to help others from making the same mistake. This place is a total rip off. I am from the Philadelphia area and I can go to 15 to 20 steak restaurants on the Philadelphia area that would put this one to shame. I absolutely would never return. read more

Best steak I've ever eaten. You can't go wrong with this steak. After we had expresso martinis which were perfect

Not worth the money , there sister restaurant La Fable much better. Better service and much better food

One of the best meals I've ever had. The atmosphere is warm, handsome, and inviting. The staff was welcoming and friendly too. The cheddar biscuits with honey butter are insanely delicious and complimentary. I had the specials which were absolutely amazing - french onion soup and rock fish in a lemon sauce. My husband had what he said was the best ribeye - cooked perfectly. The mashed potato side is also a must - creamy and delicious. We were also able to make reservations here which we found rare in Rehoboth. This place is a must. read more

First off the Food was absolutely top notch the service was perfect as well but on the downside was a little on the cold side and the way the menu is set up if you want anything on top of your entree you will pay. Any vegetables only option is table share stuff. Strong restaurant but just need to include the sides with the entree. read more

Houston White is a very small restaurant with tons of charm and ambience, but better suited for a non-pandemic visit. My wife and I were promptly seated for our 6 PM reservation and the restaurant was not terribly busy. However, by the time we were ready for dessert all the questionably spaced tables were occupied and we felt crowded in and uncomfortable enough to forgo dessert and ask for our check. Exiting the restaurant required that we navigate between two rows of tables and in and around staff and several customers standing in the foyer waiting to be seated. Restaurant staff proved to extremely attentive and engaging. Our food scorecard: We shared the harvest salad that was overwhelmed by an exceptionally large scoop of Burrata cheese. We should have gone with the Caesar. My wife's scallop entree consisted of four incredibly tasty scallops accompanied by risotto that she found to be overly rich. The Delmonico steak was cooked to perfection and I would rank in the top five of my all-time favorite restaurant steaks. The half-size salted baked potato (compared to a standard russet) was excellent but begged for sour cream and/or scallions (neither of which were offered). Almost half of the plate was devoted to Brussel sprouts; nicely prepared but how many Brussel sprouts can a person eat (fortunately, I like them as alternatives were few and far between)? We will not return to Houston White until the pandemic runs its course or until such time outside seating returns. The limited confines of the venue and the pandemic limited menu are hard to overlook. read more

Highly recommend wonder food and service! Twin lobster tails and Delmonico steak were absolutely amazing! First time here but we will be back! Thank you so much!!! read more

Houston White is relatively small place right on the Main Street. The ambiance is very nice. The place definitely has charm. We have been a couple of times. It's a steakhouse or wants to be a steakhouse and the menu can be expensive. The service is ok, not great and we have always had an awkward waiting for the check and final processing. Weird. As for the food, why anyone goes, it's pretty good and has interesting flavor mostly but the portions are unbelievably small. The steaks are small. The salads are small. The sides are incredibly small, almost just a single serving for $12 each. You might leave hungry after paying a super price for a steak. We tried the seafood but would pass. read more

Houston White restaurant in RB - Not worth it. Overpriced, and a few missteps, and served me expired soft drinks. The online menu is different from their actual menu. An appetizer I saw on their online menu was no longer available. The server mentioned that they no longer had the web consultant and the menu wasn't updated with their latest offerings. Oh, and the prices are higher than on the online menu as well. I was the designated driver when I went in April, so ordered a Diet Coke. It had an odd taste. When the server returned to the table I said (I'll admit, rather abruptly) that I don't know what kind of store brand this is, but it is not Diet Coke. The server took the drink away, came back about 5 minutes later with another can, and without words did a dramatic demonstration of opening the can and pouring it into a glass. One sip, same issue. I looked at the bottom of the can, the expiration date was 3 months ago. This is one of the most popular soft drinks worldwide, but this doesn't mean you can go to Sam's Club once a year to buy it. I have friends who rag on me to stop drinking it because it's "poison". But I enjoy it. If it is "poison", at least serve it before its expiration date. No excuse for this. Server came back about 10 minutes later with a bottle (my guess they went to Royal Farms) and said they "usually have the bottles, but..." But what? They had old cans laying around? Anyway, they comped me for the soda and my dessert. Still way overpriced. Scratch this one off my bucket list, no need to go back. Surprising, because Fable is owned by the same company and I had great experiences there. read more

What an incredible gem in Rehoboth! Went there with 3 dear friends and had Razor Clams, Crab Cakes, Steak, Scallops Incredible taste explosion. Crab cakes were top notch with large lumps. Filet Mignon at Medium Well was pure butter. Great Chefs steaks sauce too. Cheddar biscuits Were a treat that started it all off! read more

One of the best dining experiences that our family is having quite some time. From start to finish every part of our meal was top shelf, from the cheddar biscuits, to the well mixed drinks to the generous and delicious entrees. I had the ribeye which I would put toe to toe with any of the best steaks from the best steakhouses that I've ever had. This will be our go-to spot for fine dining for any future Rehoboth visits. Highly recommend!! read more

Rehoboth is will known for having outstanding food options, and we had high hopes for this place; however, this was unfortunately not the case. I should note, our waiter was exceptional and answered any and all questions, and was more than accommodating. 5/5 service. The primary issue with the meal was $75 it cost for a 10oz filet mignon. In the current market, the price point is about right, but the quality should be far superior to what it was. This reminded me of a grocery store steak that you'd get on the discount rack for $15 on a Monday afternoon. I ordered the filet medium rare, and it came out well done. Not sure how a steakhouse of this magnitude doesn't know how to cook a filet, but they offered to replace it and I got it back again. Upon cutting into it the second time it was closer to medium well/medium but I didn't feel like making another big stink about it. Meanwhile when walking out of the restaurant, I noticed a man's filet was cooked to a perfect medium rare, so why couldn't this be accomplished for mine? When the meal costs $280 total, everything on the table should be phenomenal. Hopefully this place can get it together. Again, I want to reiterate, service was awesome and that was the high point of the night! read more

Second time here in past month. The rib eye, is hands down, the best in the area, my wife had crab cakes which were also very good. Great table service by Andre as well. read more

Dined in on 7/10/2020. Served by Sarah who was a delight. Selected a fabulous bottle of Pinot Noir. Cheddar biscuits are elegant. The soft shell crab appetizer was delicious and accompanied by a wonderful corn and cucumber salad. The halibut was the best piece of fish I've eaten and the mushroom risotto was amazing. My partner had the Delmonico accompanied by the caprese salad side playing. The mozzarella was fresh and tender. The steak was cooked to perfection. Highly recommend this restaurant. The gracious owner even stopped by our table to ensure we enjoyed our dinner. Will absolutely come again. read more

Always enjoy my dinners & service at this restaurant. My go to place for special occasions. Seating is tight!

Excellent food and service. A bit pricey , but to be expected for such a fine dining establishment. The service is very friendly and servers were knowledgeable. The manager (owner?) even ran down the street 5 min after a couple had left something behind. read more

Our dinner was three nights ago and we are still talking about it. The food was excellent, the service was attentive without interrupting conversation, and the ambience delightful. In particular the ribeye was one of the best steaks I have had in years. The meat was very flavorful and juicy and cooked just as I like it. My only quibble is with the prices. I expect high prices for this caliber steak, but $12 for side dishes and $7 for a sauce is a bit much. Still, we'll be back. read more

Top notch steakhouse in RB...limited menu, but high quality. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a restaurant at the beach.

This is most likely the best steakhouse in all of Rehoboth. The food was absolutely amazing. They take much pride in all the different cuts of meat they have. I ordered a 20 day aged 14 oz NY Strip. My dad got a deckle (deckles are extremely limited, usually only have 5 per night so order one swiftly if you're interested in it). My dad let me have a slice of his deckle and it was honestly the best piece of meat I have tasted in my entire life. The tenderness, juiciness, and amount of flavor was absolutely stunning. I would recommend you get a deckle if they're still available. My steak was still extremely tasty and juicy. The restaurant is actually quite small and feels somewhat cramped. We ate in this small hallway where people were within 2 feet on either side of us on benches. I wouldn't've known this place was a high end steak place by the decor. But any day of the week, I will trade the look of a restaurant for the quality of the food. The waiters here are very knowledgeable about each cut of meat and what makes each cut different from the others. Our waiter, Nick P., told us everything we needed to know about each cut of meat and also had a very nice personality and sense of humor. Great guy. Mind you, this place is on the side of the sidewalk, right next to probably the most crowded road in all of Rehoboth, so finding a parking spot will be extremely difficult. Our hotel was about three quarters of a mile away, so we just walked there. The food here is expensive, so don't be afraid for the bill to be above $100 for 2 people. I believe the price is justified by the quality of the food. read more

A legit steakhouse right near the beach! We have been fans of Fable and we were excited with the opening of Houston White. This is our 2nd time visiting and they have tweaked some menu items for the better. For example, every steak comes with a baked potato and a small kale/carrot salad on the side. No need to order a side if you want to round out your meal. However, their sides are on point. Reasonably priced and full bodied red wines by the glass. Exceptional service. Our server was Peter and he was so exceptional that we remembered him from our first visit. The owner is lovely and you can tell that she loves the restaurant business and knows her steaks. It is loud inside but I characterize it as basically an upbeat vibe. It is not a chill vibe. So order your martini/red wine and enjoy tasty well-seasoned steak in a fun atmosphere! read more

Absolutely recommend this as the top fine dining restaurant in Rehoboth Beach. Not only were the appetizers and entrees delicious, but the service was impeccable. The servers and restaurant staff would act highly professional, even when it came to letting guests pass far before they came close to each other as they were manuvering around the restaurant, and would stand straight up with one arm behind their back like a military Parade Rest whenever they would stop moving. The staff consistently showed attention to detail and repeatedly asked how our steaks and meals were, if they were at the correct temperature, checking the temperature, etc. When the person I was with went to use the restroom at some point, the owner stopped by to refold his napkin that he had left on his chair, and also greeted me. I absolutely recommend the Crab dip appetizer particularly.. It tasted fresh, flavorful, and was very rich. read more

Like Charlie Palmer's this steakhouse is nothing short of other worldly. Amazing staff, atmosphere, drinks and of course the food. Never disappointed when I come here. Come for a drink, an app, dessert or a full dinner. You will leave happy and satisfied. Houston White Co. is a gem, don't pass it by, Megan Kee has accumulated an amazing staff and executed a concept flawlessly. read more

Best duck breast I've ever had by far, wife doesn't like creamed spinach but loved it here!

I'm a restaurant snob and have been to 100's of Steak houses in my life. This one was memorable. A+ Service. Everything about the meal was absolutely perfect. Great dirty martini w/ Blue Cheese Olives. Instead of bread - they give cheddar biscuits w/ homemade honey butter. Apps were good. A fantastic 60day dry aged NY Strip that was almost 3" thick. I've never seen one that thick. They called it 16oz but it felt bigger. Served with a delicious homemade steak sauce. I can't remember a restaurant where I had as good of an experience as we did. Great wine list. Will go again next time that I'm at the shore. Kudos. read more

Service and food was great!! Our waiter was friendly and very informative about the menu. We both ordered the Delmonico and they came out cooked perfectly to order and were very tasty. We got the garlic butter and horseradish cream to accompany our steaks. The cream spinach was good and the brussel sprouts were amazing! Peanut butter pie was really good as well....not too sweet and just perfect. The biscuits they bring out up front are to die for!! We'll def be back!! Prob the best steak house I've been to in the Rehoboth area! read more

Quick weekend get away and wanted a nice relaxing dinner. Houston White fit the bill. Service was excellent. We both had the lobster bisque to start- it was okay, nothing impressive. I enjoyed the Filet that was cooked to perfection and melted in my mouth. My husband had the Delmonico Ribeye and was very satisfied with his main course. We shared the green beans which were excellent. This is a cute little restaurant that makes the most of its space. Would go back again for the entrees. read more

Megan has hit it out of the park....again!!! We've dined at Houston White at least once a week since opening night and the food has been consistently AMAZING. The best steakhouse around, hands down. Staff is always helpful, friendly, and engaging. Wine list is spectacular. Megan did a beautiful renovation to the space which screams coastal luxury. Do not miss a chance to dine at HW! read more

Have dined at Houston-White twice, and have to say this restaurant is THE best place for fine dining in Rehoboth Beach and surrounding areas. Quaint, with a very tasteful decor, the dining area provides a lively, not too stuffy atmosphere. While pricey, the menu is full of treasures that were well worth it! My surf and turf was prepared perfectly, and everyone in our party raved about how good their meal was. The bone marrow demi glace, mushrooms, and creamed spinach are our fave sides but we will definitely try others on our next visits. HELPFUL HINT do not pass up on the lemon meringue pie for dessert. Without a doubt, the best we have ever tasted. Did not want it to end. Make reservations in advance as this place is becoming more and more popular. Houston-White will definitely be our go-to place when dining out in Rehoboth from now on. read more

The food is very good....but $58 for an entree of 2 lamb chops at $49 for just the chops and a side of vegetable for $9 is kinda up there. Plan on past $100+ per person all in. Waitstaff selling up by encouraging ordering multiple sides as "theirs aren't big enough to share"--not true! Sides are ample enough to share, and provided leftovers. All were consistently delicious. If cost is not a consideration and you want a well cooked steak, go for it. It is quite loud inside a small space but if you've just closed a real estate deal with cash to spare you'll be well fed. read more

Our first time dining in this fabulous restaurant which will now be a permanent part of our Rehoboth vacations. Warm and welcoming space, friendly and attentive staff, and happy patrons. The cheddar biscuit was a surprise and absolutely delicious. I started with the Shrimp-Cargo and it was buttery, garlicky and delicious. I also had a few bites of Caesar Salad and it was the best dressing I have ever tasted - light and perfect. I then had a filet mignon - it melted in my mouth. It was accented with the edamame succotash - a creamy blend of corn and edamame, with a piece of honey cornbread. We finished with the outstanding blueberry cobbler - more like a personal flaky pie. It was a wonderful night! Thanks HWCO!! read more
