The story
Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse was born in 1981 with a clear and enduring purpose: to embody the rich tradition of the classic American steakhouse. On Chestnut Street in Philadelphia, that founding vision remains intact — chef-driven cuisine, impeccable hospitality, and a wine program serious enough to earn Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence.
The cornerstone of the menu is aged USDA Prime Beef. Hand-cut steaks anchor the experience, complemented by fresh seafood and mouthwatering appetizers built from the freshest ingredients. The approach is straightforward and uncompromising: time-honored principles, executed with a modern, sleek sensibility. Sommeliers are on hand to guide guests through an extensive wine list — the kind of list that draws the attention of national publications and major industry awards alike.
The atmosphere at Del Frisco's Philadelphia is described as stunning and energetic — equally suited to a celebratory dinner, a private party, or a weekend evening with live music. Private dining and full catering services make it a natural choice for larger gatherings, while the bar and outdoor seating offer a more relaxed entry point into the American steakhouse experience. The room carries the confidence of an institution that has been doing this well for over forty years, without feeling frozen in time.
The Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence is not a casual distinction — it reflects a wine program with genuine depth and curation. For a steakhouse that places wine pairing at the center of the dining experience, that recognition speaks directly to what Del Frisco's Double Eagle consistently delivers.
