    Why go

    Del Frisco's Grille is a strong Westwood pick when the group wants a polished American steakhouse-grille without committing to a formal fine-dining format. Lunch is better for value and easier conversation; dinner is better for steaks, seafood, cocktails, special occasions. First-timers should order across the share plates, steak, seafood, sides rather than looking for a tasting-menu experience.

    About Del Frisco's Grille

    For a Westwood booking, Del Frisco's Grille is best understood through the basics: a modern American steakhouse & grille led by Chef Shawn Quinn, with a smart-casual dress code and an average price of $65 per person. It is a practical choice when the group wants recognizable steakhouse-grille cooking rather than a narrower dining format.

    The restaurant is open daily from 11:30 AM, with closing times of 9:15 PM Sunday through Thursday and 10 PM on Friday and Saturday. That schedule gives diners flexibility across the day and evening, but the strongest reason to book is the combination of signature dishes and steakhouse-grille staples in Westwood.

    Order for the steakhouse side, not just the grille side

    The clearest first order is to focus on the dishes specifically associated with Del Frisco's Grille. Start with Cheesesteak Eggrolls if the table wants the brand’s comfort-food angle, or the Jumbo Lump Crab Cake if the meal is moving more seafood-and-steak. From there, the Double-Stacked Grille Cheeseburger offers the grille side of the menu, while Del Frisco’s Prime hand-cut steaks are the most direct steakhouse move.

    Chef Shawn Quinn’s menu is best framed as modern American steakhouse & grille cooking: familiar, broad-appeal dishes with room for a more substantial meal. Truffled Mac & Cheese is the side to keep in mind if the table wants a richer order alongside steaks or another main dish.

    Use the hours and dress code to plan the meal

    Because Del Frisco's Grille opens at 11:30 AM every day, it can work for earlier or evening plans in Westwood. The hours are Monday through Thursday from 11:30 AM to 9:15 PM, Friday and Saturday from 11:30 AM to 10 PM, Sunday from 11:30 AM to 9:15 PM.

    Smart casual is the right expectation. That keeps the restaurant in a middle lane: polished enough for a planned meal, but not defined here as a rigid formal-dining experience. At $65 per person, it works best as a premium but flexible Westwood steakhouse-grille choice.

    The Wine Spectator Award of Excellence (2026) is a confirmed recognition for the venue. That accolade adds a point of distinction alongside the restaurant’s hand-cut steaks and other signature dishes.

    Who should book it, who should skip it

    Book this if the group wants a modern American steakhouse & grille in Westwood with a smart-casual tone, a $65 per person price point, signatures such as Cheesesteak Eggrolls, the Double-Stacked Grille Cheeseburger, Del Frisco’s Prime hand-cut steaks, Jumbo Lump Crab Cake, Truffled Mac & Cheese. It is less useful for diners looking for a highly specific or narrowly defined concept; the appeal is its broad steakhouse-grille range.
