Very Good Experience

by Maryae01 at Citysearch

My friends and I visited Del Frisco's for a girl's evening out. Our experience was absolutely wonderful. Looking forward to visiting this location again.

This feels like Fort Worth!!

by outdiner at Citysearch

Outstanding meal! The shrimp were succulent and all of our steaks were cooked perfectly. And seasoned perfectly, which is not done right very often. The wine stewards are a blast, one of them walked me into a Washington cab for $90 and it was terrific. The building is beautiful, the service is fluid and friendly. It's easy to see on my end why I'll be back.

• Pros: An experience rather than a meal
• Cons: None

Great steak, great atmosphere, great service!

by jmt116 at Citysearch

I don't understand the previous negative reviews. Unfortunately some people don't get out much. I travel two weeks a month and dine out from coast to coast. I have eaten at Del Frisco's in New York and Las Vegas and have always had an excellent time. Last week was my first trip to Fort Worth and Del Frisco's was recommended by the concierge as the best restaurant in town. I was dining alone and upon entering the restaurant was greeted with a smiling face. Must have been a busy night, so I found a seat at the bar for a cocktail as the hostess worked on finding me a table. One cocktail later I was being seated.

Food was excellent. I had a sweet/spicy calamari appetizer. Too much for one person to eat but I'll make a trip back to Fort Worth for that alone. A New York strip cooked perfectly. Delicious Au Gratin potatoes and creamed spinach. Washed it all down with a half bottle of Cabernet. (Half bottles are a great idea for the single diner and they must have close to 100 selections!) All in all what I expect from Del Frisco's, but most importantly, when I returned home I received a thank you card from my waiter Kevin. Class act.

• Pros: great food, gracious service

Very Disappointed

by ErinET at Citysearch

My husband took me to Del Friscos for our anniversary-- we had heard great things about it, and were excited to try it. We ordered our steak medium-well-- I told the waiter I just wanted a little pink in the center. The steak came out bright pink all over-- we ended up sending it back 4 times, and at that point, the outside was so charred it didn't taste good. We were so disappointed. I could have gotten a steak at Saltgrass for 1/4 of the price and been pleased. We won't go there again.

Horrible Experience

by RandiRQ at Citysearch

We had a terrible experience and will never go back. The food wasn't good (the cocktail sauce looked like red glue and tasted gummy, my steak was overcooked even though I stressed how very rare I wanted it cooked, I asked if the onions could be removed from the potatoes au gratin and our waitress told me no, the potatoes au gratin were frozen and came in large bags so nothing could be done to change them!!), the service was poor (we were rushed the entire meal - my husband and I had the feeling that someone else was waiting for our table because our waitress kept trying to take our plates even though we weren't finished eating), and prices were high. We were told there was a dress code, but people were seated wearing blue jeans and white tee shirts. The entire evening could not have been much worse and we will never go back.

• Pros: Nothing
• Cons: Average Food, Poor and Rushed Service, Hypocritical Dress Code

Thought I was at Applebees

by rekab3136 at Citysearch

Well, last Saturday night we had reservations at 8:30 but weren't seated until 8:50. Ok except I found out later they don't insist on reservations, so it appeared they didn't seat us on time because they're seating others without reservations.

I should have been tipped off to problems when I called for reservations and was put on hold halfway through making the reservation, and then someone else different came back on the line and we had to start again.

Another thing I didn't like. Their website says business casual, jacket not required. They seated a lot of people in tee shirts, jeans and tennis shoes. Why even bother with a dress code?

We never had a consistent wait staff we could rely on; the service was unreliable. Not horrible, mind you. But not what I expect from a high end steakhouse.

The drinks were ok as were the entrees and appetizer. But the dessert bread pudding was very dry. The manager kindly took it off without us asking so I give them credit for that, but it was just another in a long list of things.

We seldom go to restaurants unless we expect a very good experience and we had never been to a Del Frisco's but heard good things. We've been to numerous Morton's, Fleming's, a Capital Grille. Been to lots of high end steakhouses in Las Vegas and throughout Texas. We're seldom disappointed. But this left us feeling like we'd been to a very expensive Applebees.

For their sake, I hope it was just a bad night for them. But we will not go back.

• Cons: Food is only ave. Service below ave. had to wait

One of the Dallas Greats!

by Michael1441 at Citysearch

This is one of the Dallas Greats when it comes to a good meal. Anytime is a good time to go to Del Frisco's. Food is Five Star, Wine & Bar is Five Star, the only negitive for me is if you get sat near the front door or bar. A little too loud and cramped.

I will continue to go back with my wife as long as we are in Dallas!

• Pros: Food, Wine, and Service
• Cons: seating is a bit cramped

The best

by vmitchell1 at Citysearch

Del Frisco's is the best at what they do. Food is always excellent. Service is always fantastic. There's no con I can think of when asked about Del Frisco's. If you are looking for fine dining in the area, there is only one choice. Nowhere else can recreate what goes on here.

• Pros: Service, food, drinks (you name it!)
• Cons: None come to mind

Best steak I've ever had in my life

by jvallarta at Citysearch

I was visiting with some coworkers from Seattle. All of us agreed that this place serves the BEST steak ever. I've eaten at Ruth Chris and at Daniel's Broiler's and this was a step above the rest. Yes, it is very pricey but if you're looking for an amazing steak, go here!

• Pros: AMAZING steak
• Cons: A little pricey

Best Steak in DFW...hands down

by steak_guy at Citysearch

The Del Frisco''s in Fort Worth is the best steak I have ever had. That says a lot since I travel quite a bit and really enjoy eating steaks at new places. I've been to every top steakhouse in DFW and this is by far the best. Everything from the location, service, sides, bread, and even the butter they use is great.

• Pros: Great all-around
• Cons: None
