disagree  Ozethai: Because a house special may be a sales item (with a lower -- or "special" -- price), and not the specialty dishes of the restaurant. For example, the Blue Dragon restaurant's house special this week is Fried Rice, Singapore Noodles, and BBQ Pork!

agree  Ozethai: I agree with you that "House specialty" or "Specialty of the House" has the closest meaning. Refer: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A49854-2005Apr... I am sorry the asker did not give you the points.
