Happy Halloween from the Houston Inn 🎃🧡

After 70+ years, these walls have heard plenty of stories — but the only thing scary around here is how fast the triple chocolate cake disappears.

Trick-or-treating? Heading to a party? Make dinner part of the plan. Bonus: clocks fall back tonight, so there's an extra hour to linger.

Reserve your table at houstoninn.com.

New steaks. New starters. And two favorites that just got promoted 🥩🧡

Our updated menu officially debuts today, and here's what's joining the lineup:

🍽️ To start: Calamari, Prime Rib Sliders, and our brand-new Tuna Tartare, with fresh ahi tuna marinated in our honey soy glaze, avocado, and toasted baguettes
🥩 Hand-cut steaks: an 18 oz. T-bone and a 6 oz. USDA Prime petite filet
🍖 Promoted to permanent: our prime rib, cooked low and slow, and our baby back ribs with house-made seasoning and smoky barbecue sauce

Make this the weekend you try them all. Or at least most of them.

Reserve your table and see the updated menu at houstoninn.com.

Ever wonder what goes into a Golden Leaf Martini? Abby's got you covered 🍍🧡

Our bar manager is mixing up one of our fall favorites: bright, smooth, and as golden as the leaves outside, with the sweet tang of pineapple and just enough vodka bite to keep things interesting.

Even better, it's half off during Houston Happy Hour, Monday–Thursday from 4–6 p.m., along with half off ALL drinks.

Pull up a stool, say hi to Abby, and find your new fall favorite.

Birthdays. Rehearsal dinners. Retirement parties. The company holiday bash 🥂🧡

Our private spaces, like the Raceway Room you see here, are made for gatherings worth remembering, with the food and hospitality to match.

Planning now means you get the date you want. Call us or visit houstoninn.com/private-corporate-events to get started.

Fan favorites, all weekend long 🧡

Let's start with one of our most popular appetizers: the Devil on Horseback. Sweet dates stuffed with Gruyère, wrapped in bacon, and topped with our housemade chimichurri. Sweet, salty, savory, and a little herby, it's the kind of bite that's hard to describe and even harder to share.

And a few more favorites are sticking around, too. Our Sweet Drop Calamari and Prime Rib Sliders are back for another weekend, and our prime rib and baby back rib dinners are still on the menu.

Pull up a chair and start with a favorite. Or two.

Date night doesn't have to be complicated 🍷🧡

Pick an evening, bring your favorite person, and leave the rest to us. A good drink, a hand-cut steak, a dessert worth sharing, and a room that's been setting the scene for Lebanon's love stories since 1953.

Book the table. Make it a night.

Two new Chef Features just hit the table, and they're only here for the weekend 🧡

Find them on the menu from today, Thursday, Oct. 15, through Sunday, Oct. 18, at $15 each. Fair warning: they might upstage your entrée.

🦑 Sweet Drop Calamari
Calamari lightly dusted and fried, served alongside blistered sweet drop peppers with chipotle ranch for dipping.

🥩 Prime Rib Sliders
If you've been loving our prime rib, this one's for you. Two pretzel buns piled with thinly sliced prime rib, onions, au jus, and a creamy horseradish with just the right kick.

One crispy, one hearty. Grab one for the table, or go for both. We won't judge.

Reserve your table at houstoninn.com and catch them before they’re gone Sunday.

Happy National Dessert Day! Today we're celebrating the baker behind two of our favorite sweets 🍰🧡

Meet Amanda of PaleoPrimal Sweets (). Raised by a grandma and mom who were both amazing bakers, she started PaleoPrimal in 2015 alongside her sister Emily, after realizing how few gluten-free and dairy-free desserts tasted as good as the real thing. Now, she and her small team bake hundreds of treats every week, all from a 100% gluten-free kitchen.

Here at the Inn, you'll find two of her creations:

🧁 Amanda's Fudge Swirl
Her take on the Hostess cupcake so many of us grew up on, with rich chocolate cake, a creamy filling, and chocolate frosting.

🍓 Strawberry Shortcake
A moist, fluffy almond flour cake with fresh organic strawberries and a creamy dairy-free vanilla frosting.

Fun fact: Amanda grew up eating at the Houston Inn and even hosted her wedding rehearsal dinner here 24 years ago, so this partnership feels a lot like coming home.

Can't decide which one to order? Amanda's advice: "Why not try both?!" We'd have to agree. Swipe through to hear more in her own words ➡️

All of Amanda's desserts are gluten-free, dairy-free, grain-free, and soy-free. Some contain tree nuts and eggs, so visit paleoprimalsweets.com for full ingredients.

Some evenings call for a full dinner. Others call for a good drink, a few bites, and nowhere else you need to be 🥂🧡

Our lounge brings it all together, with live music, handcrafted cocktails, and a menu worth exploring. Whether you're meeting friends or simply winding down after the day, there's a place for you.

Join us in the lounge and make an evening of it.
