Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse

In Pittsburgh, the question is whether the night calls for a classic upscale American steakhouse spend. Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse works when the table wants a steakhouse meal built around USDA Prime ribeye, filet mignon, seafood dishes, a higher-end occasion feel.

The verdict is yes for a splurge-style steakhouse meal, especially for diners who want a familiar steakhouse order rather than an experimental format. A clear trust signal is the Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence (2026). The price is $75 per person, so the value depends on whether the table wants a planned steakhouse experience.

Choose it for prime beef, seafood, a classic steakhouse night

The first thing to know is that this is an upscale American steakhouse. Business casual dress fits the venue, first-timers will usually feel more comfortable treating the meal as a planned occasion rather than a quick stop.

The signature dishes include USDA Prime ribeye, filet mignon, surf and turf trio, lobster bisque, crab cakes, Chilean sea bass. Those are the safest starting points because they align with the strengths of the restaurant.

That setup can suit diners with different steakhouse preferences. One diner can focus on steak, another can choose seafood, the table can decide how much to build out the meal. The caveat is that steakhouse pricing can climb once the order expands, so this is a better choice when the group is aligned on a full meal rather than just stopping in for one course.

Where the experience earns its keep, where to be selective

The strongest case for booking is the combination of an upscale American steakhouse format, a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence (2026), and signature dishes such as USDA Prime ribeye, filet mignon, surf and turf trio, lobster bisque, crab cakes, Chilean sea bass.

The weaker case is for diners who measure value by novelty. This is a traditional upscale American steakhouse, not a place to choose primarily for surprise or a lower-commitment meal. It makes the most sense when the goal is confidence: steakhouse classics, business casual polish, a special-occasion frame.

Timing matters. Hours are 11:30 AM–9 PM Monday through Thursday, 4–10 PM Friday and Saturday, 4–9 PM Sunday. That makes earlier weekday visits possible Monday through Thursday, while Friday through Sunday start later in the day. For a first visit, dinner is the clearest read on the steakhouse experience.

First-timer strategy: order classic, plan the spend, keep the group aligned

First-timers should order from the core strengths: USDA Prime ribeye, filet mignon, surf and turf trio, lobster bisque, crab cakes, or Chilean sea bass. At $75 per person, the meal works best as a planned steakhouse outing rather than an improvised bite. If the group wants a more casual or lower-cost dinner, other Pittsburgh dining may be a better fit.
