The story
Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse was born in 1981 with a clear purpose: to embody the rich tradition of the classic American steakhouse. More than four decades on, that purpose hasn't wavered. The Back Bay address on Boylston Street brings that same commitment to Boston — chef-driven cuisine, an extensive wine program, and a standard of hospitality that sets it apart from the ordinary.
The cornerstone of the menu is aged USDA Prime beef. Hand-cut steaks anchor the experience, complemented by fresh seafood and carefully sourced ingredients throughout. The American steakhouse format here is not a template but a living tradition — one that the kitchen keeps honest with quality product and precise execution. Beyond the steaks, the menu extends to mouthwatering appetizers and seafood selections that round out an evening without overshadowing the main event.
The cellar is a serious affair. Wine Spectator recognized Del Frisco's with its Best of Award of Excellence — a distinction that reflects both the depth of the list and the expertise behind it. In-house sommeliers are on hand to guide guests through the selection, making the wine side of the meal as considered as the food. For a steakhouse, this level of wine attention is anything but routine.
The dining room at Del Frisco's Double Eagle carries what the brand calls a "stunning, energetic atmosphere" — polished without being stiff, lively without losing focus. It works equally well for a dinner for two and for larger gatherings; private dining rooms and full catering capabilities make it a practical choice for events and private parties of all sizes. Weekend evenings bring live music to the Double Eagle, adding another layer to what is already a full evening out.
Since its founding, Del Frisco's has stayed true to time-honored principles while giving them a modern, sleek edge. The Back Bay location is one of a select number across the country, each with its own character — but all sharing the same commitment to quality American dining that has earned the brand recognition from Wine Spectator, Bloomberg Pursuits, and OpenTable, among others.
