About Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse
$100 per person is the right mental starting point: this is a formal, upscale American steakhouse in Philadelphia, not a casual dinner. Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse works when the plan calls for prime steaks, seafood, a dressed-up setting.
Go for the steakhouse format, stay disciplined with the order
The menu strengths are classic steakhouse anchors: USDA Prime steaks, seafood, signature dishes such as filet mignon, ribeye, strip, porterhouse, tomahawk, Japanese A5 Wagyu, Certified Kobe Beef, Shellfish Tower, Del’s Jumbo Lump Crab Cake, Shanghai-Style Fried Calamari.
Value depends on how the table orders. A focused dinner built around a prime steak and seafood can feel aligned with the room and the category. A maximal order with premium beef and shellfish climbs quickly. That is not a flaw, but it does mean this works better for guests who actively want a splurge than for diners looking for a lower-spend steak night.
The restaurant holds a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence for 2026. For a steakhouse meal, that is a useful trust signal for guests who care about wine with dinner.
Dinner is the move; plan around evening hours
Dinner is the right format. The hours begin at 4 PM daily: Monday through Thursday from 4–9 PM, Friday and Saturday from 4–10 PM, Sunday from 4–9 PM. For readers specifically looking for a brunch or lunch plan, other Philadelphia dining may be a better daytime fit.
The formal dress code is worth taking seriously: this is a place to dress for an upscale steakhouse dinner rather than a casual neighborhood meal.
Who should book it, who should skip it
Book Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse if you want a formal Philadelphia steakhouse with prime steaks, seafood, a $100-per-person expectation. Skip it if you want lunch, brunch, a casual dinner, or a lower-spend steak night.
