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. Over forty years later, that founding vision remains the compass — time-honored principles kept alive with a modern, sleek sensibility that sets this steakhouse apart from the rest.
The cornerstone of the menu is aged USDA Prime Beef. Hand-cut steaks are complemented by mouthwatering appetizers and fresh seafood, with the kitchen committed to the freshest, most carefully sourced ingredients. The approach is chef-driven — a term Del Frisco's uses deliberately, signaling that the food is guided by culinary craft rather than formula.
The wine program is a serious undertaking in its own right. Wine Spectator recognized the Del Frisco's wine list with its Best of Award of Excellence in 2025, a distinction that reflects both the depth of the cellar and the expertise of the sommeliers on hand to guide guests through it. That level of attention to wine is rare even among fine dining steakhouses, and it elevates a dinner here well beyond the plate.
Del Frisco's describes its atmosphere as stunning and energetic — a room that works equally well for a celebratory dinner for two or a larger private event. The Indianapolis location offers private dining and catering, making it a natural choice for banquets and special gatherings. Weekend serenades with live music add another layer to the experience, keeping the room lively without losing the sense of occasion that a proper American steakhouse demands.
What Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse stands for is straightforward: impeccable service, an award-winning wine program, and the kind of chef-driven American steakhouse cuisine that has kept guests returning since 1981. In Indianapolis, that combination is rare and worth seeking out.
