The story
Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse was born in 1981 with a bold vision: to embody the rich tradition of the classic American steakhouse. On the Avenue of the Americas in Midtown Manhattan, that founding purpose has held steady for over forty years — kept alive, as the restaurant puts it, "with a modern, sleek twist."
The cornerstone of the menu is aged USDA Prime Beef, complemented by hand-cut steaks, mouthwatering appetizers, and fresh seafood. Chef-driven cuisine and a commitment to the freshest ingredients define what Del Frisco's calls "the Del Frisco's Difference" — a phrase that points equally to the food, the service, and the atmosphere guests encounter when they walk through the door.
Few things distinguish Del Frisco's Double Eagle more clearly than its wine program. Wine Spectator awarded the New York location its prestigious Grand Award — the publication's highest honor — a recognition that reflects the depth and curation of the cellar. On-hand sommeliers guide diners through an extensive list, making wine pairing as much a part of the experience as the steak itself. The New York Times has also recognized the restaurant for its wine list, and the accolades extend to Bloomberg Pursuits and Business Insider citations for best steakhouse in America.
The dining room is described as stunning and energetic — a space suited to business dinners, celebrations, or simply a well-earned meal. Private dining rooms accommodate larger groups, and the full-service bar adds another dimension for those who want to linger before or after the meal. Live music on weekends at the Double Eagle location brings an added warmth to the already lively room.
The restaurant's guiding motto — "Do right and fear no man" — says something about the straightforward confidence that has kept this American steakhouse relevant and celebrated across more than four decades.
