There’s something about fall that makes food taste even better—cooler evenings, cozy sweaters, and menus full of warm, comforting flavors. Here’s your seasonal guide to where (and what) to eat right now across Houston.
🍲 Soup Season Has Arrived
Tortilla Soup at Armandos — A River Oaks Tex-Mex classic: light chicken broth, shredded chicken, tortilla strips, avocado, and more. Order a margarita for the full fall moment.
Butternut Squash Soup at Backstreet Café — Silky, seasonal, and often crowned with toasted pumpkin seeds. Basically autumn in a bowl.
🍝 Pasta & Hearty Comfort Plates
Bucatini Amatriciana at Paulie’s — A steaming bowl of comfort. Pair with a glass of prosecco or share one of their signature pizzas.
Braised Oxtails at Lucille’s — Slow-braised and served over cheddar grits. Add the baked mac & cheese and cornbread for a full fall feast.
☕ Seasonal Drinks That Taste Like Fall
Pumpkin Sips at Buttermilk Baby — Pumpkin frappes, pumpkin-spice lattes, and a boozy pumpkin-spice shake (with Absolut Vanilla & Baileys) bring the cozy.
Mexican Hot Chocolate at Xochi — Rich, spiced, and perfect for chilly nights. Bonus points if you add churros.
🥧 Sweet Fall Treats
Pumpkin Cheesecake at Saltgrass Steak House — Seasonal and limited-time, so snag a slice while it’s here.
Pecan Pie at Goode Company — A Texas classic that doubles as the perfect take-home dessert for gatherings.
🍻 Toast to the Season
Warm(ish) Sangria at Oporto Fooding House & Wine — Spiced and cozy; ideal for date night or a friends’ patio hang.
Seasonal Brews at Saint Arnold Brewing Company — Houston’s OG brewery is perfect for crisp afternoons and cool evenings.
