Del Frisco's Grille

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A New Kind of American Bar and Grill

Del Frisco's Grille describes its own philosophy in three words: "Talk. Drink. Eat." On East Las Olas Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale, that ethos translates into a stylish, inviting space where the bar is deliberately the centerpiece of the room — a gathering point as much as a drinking one. The atmosphere is built, in the restaurant's own words, "for getting together," and the room reflects it: energetic enough for a celebratory night out, relaxed enough for a long lunch.

Familiar Flavors, Modern Touch

The menu takes American comfort classics and sharpens them with bold flavors and fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The kitchen draws on regional influences to keep things grounded, while the modern treatment keeps things from feeling predictable. It's the kind of American cooking that rewards both the regular and the first-timer — something craveable, as the restaurant puts it, without being ordinary.

Cocktails receive the same attention. The bar program is positioned as a refined drinking experience in its own right, which is part of why Wine Spectator recognized Del Frisco's Grille with its Award of Excellence — a distinction that speaks directly to the depth and curation of the wine list alongside that cocktail focus.

Made for Every Occasion

The Fort Lauderdale location covers a wide range of occasions without losing coherence. Brunch, happy hour, lunch, dinner, and private dining all have a place here, and the space accommodates larger groups comfortably. For those who want a dedicated setting, private dining options are available, as is catering — practical details that make Del Frisco's Grille a go-to for events as much as everyday dining.

The American cuisine here doesn't chase trends for their own sake. Instead, it offers something more durable: familiar ingredients treated with care, a room that encourages lingering, and a wine and cocktail program good enough to earn national recognition.
