About Grey Moss Inn

Established in 1929, the Grey Moss Inn is an icon in the city of Grey Forest. It has lived through many eras and re-emerged anew in 2023 with a Northern Mexican-inspired menu. Nestled under beautiful oak trees, it offers a unique rustic, romantic, and mysterious ambiance. Whether you are a local resident or traveling through the area, the historic Grey Moss Inn is a place you won’t want to miss.

This historic Hill Country gem has lived through many eras, surviving the Great Depression, an ever-changing customer base, and various historic events. After opening as a dinner restaurant by Mary Howell in 1929, it was acquired by Jerry and Mary Martin, who transformed it into a more upscale establishment. When the restaurant was later sold to Dr. Lou Baeten, he reinvented Grey Moss once more—this time into a steakhouse that quickly became known for grilling its steaks outside on a large firepit. The torch of the Grey Moss Inn has since been passed on yet again, re-emerging after the pandemic with a renewed vision.

Bringing a piece of their heritage to the table, owners and siblings Martha Valadez, Marisol Mendoza, and Zeke Martinez are leading the Grey Moss Inn into a fresh new era with an all-new Northern Mexican-inspired menu. Martha and Zeke are often found out front, welcoming guests and managing day-to-day operations, while Marisol works behind the scenes as the heart of the kitchen, crafting each dish with care and creativity.

True to their goal of continuing the legacy of the Grey Moss Inn and honoring those who came before them, subtle tributes can be seen throughout the restaurant to pay homage to its rich history. Feel free to ask about the background of this incredible establishment during your next visit!
