Del Frisco's Grille

Del Frisco's Grille is an American polished-casual restaurant brand that grew out of the upscale Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse family. The Grille concept was created to bring the Del Frisco's name to a broader, more accessible price point and a more relaxed, social setting than the flagship steakhouses. Its menu centers on American grill fare — steaks and prime cuts, seafood, sandwiches and burgers, shareable appetizers, salads, and a full bar with wine and cocktails — served in a modern, energetic dining room and bar area typically located in suburban town centers and upscale mixed-use developments. The brand was developed by Del Frisco's Restaurant Group, the publicly traded hospitality company that also owned Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse and Sullivan's Steakhouse. Del Frisco's Grille locations opened across a number of U.S. markets, positioning the concept between casual dining and fine dining and targeting business diners, shoppers, and social occasions. The Grille became one of the group's growth vehicles alongside its steakhouses. In 2019 the restaurant group was acquired and taken private, and the Del Frisco's brands were subsequently consolidated under Landry's, Inc., the Houston-based hospitality and restaurant conglomerate. Under that ownership the Grille concept continued as part of the Del Frisco's brand family, alongside the Double Eagle steakhouses. The brand's identity rests on the Del Frisco's name, an upscale-but-approachable American grill menu, and a bar-forward, social atmosphere.

Del Frisco's Grille emerged from Del Frisco's Restaurant Group, the hospitality company built around the Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse brand and later also owning Sullivan's Steakhouse. The group sought a growth concept that could travel beyond the traditional downtown steakhouse model, and the Grille was designed as a polished-casual American grill and bar that carried the Del Frisco's name into suburban town centers and upscale mixed-use developments. The concept launched in the early 2010s and expanded across multiple U.S. markets, becoming one of the group's key growth vehicles alongside its steakhouses. Grille restaurants paired a menu of steaks, seafood, sandwiches, and shareable plates with a bar-forward atmosphere, aiming at business diners and social occasions at a lower price point than the flagship steakhouses. In 2019 the restaurant group was acquired and taken private, and the Del Frisco's brands were subsequently brought under Landry's, Inc., the Houston-based hospitality conglomerate. The Grille concept continued as part of the Del Frisco's brand family under that ownership, alongside the Double Eagle steakhouses.
