Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse

What Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse does

Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse is an upscale American steakhouse chain operating 14 locations across major U.S. markets, including Boston, Charlotte, Dallas, Denver, Fort Worth, Houston, Indianapolis, Las Vegas, New York, Orlando, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Plano, and Washington D.C. Founded in 1981 and headquartered in Irving, Texas (corporate parent: Del Frisco's Restaurant Group, Inc., Delaware-incorporated), the brand sells a premium dine-in experience built on hand-cut USDA Prime steaks, dry-aged cuts, and Japanese A5 Wagyu/Certified Kobe at select locations, with a Wine Spectator Grand Award–recognized wine program (Best of Award of Excellence across all locations) that lists more than 1,200 labels at flagship sites. The chain emphasizes chef-driven cuisine, signature hospitality, and a refined atmosphere, complemented by craft cocktails, live music at select locations, and an extensive private dining program.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer model with four primary revenue streams: dine-in restaurant sales (the core), private dining and corporate events (multiple AV-equipped rooms per location with custom menus and dedicated event coordinators), catering and takeout (online ordering via the proprietary alohaorderonline.com storefront and ezCater, plus third-party delivery on Grubhub, DoorDash, UberEats, and Postmates), and gift cards (traditional and digital via CashStar). Pricing uses a unit/transactional model with à la carte dinner pricing supplemented by tiered seasonal experiences ranging from an $80 three-course prix fixe (Las Vegas Summer) up to $295 per couple for holiday specials. Customer segments span affluent consumers (special-occasion diners), corporate and business clients (client entertainment, conferences), and event hosts (rehearsals, weddings, anniversaries). Ancillary demand is captured through the Landry's Select Club loyalty program integrated with parent Landry's Inc.

Following the June 2019 acquisition of the parent group by L Catterton for approximately $650 million (taking the company private from NASDAQ: DFRG), Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse continues to operate as a flagship premium concept alongside sister brands Del Frisco's Grille, Sullivan's Steakhouse, Barcelona Wine Bar, and bartaco. Strategy under private ownership has emphasized programmatic event experiences (Somm Wars wine vs. whiskey pairings, Houston Chef Series, regional menus such as Texas Lone Star and DC 250 Celebration), bar-program expansion, off-premise channel growth, and brand-equity reinforcement through awards and earned media rather than aggressive unit expansion.
