HOUSTON, THE EAGLE HAS LANDED
DEL FRISCO’S DOUBLE EAGLE STEAK HOUSE
OPENS IN HOUSTON - 13,000-square-foot restaurant opens
its doors in the Galleria
HOUSTON 2008– The award-winning Del Frisco’s Double Eagle
Steak House, known for its prime steak, luxurious décor,
and Southern hospitality, opened its Houston location on
November 19, 2007. The restaurant is located in the
Galleria at 5061 Westheimer, Houston, 77027.
The Houston location boasts the same upscale menu items
and signature elements as its sister locations in
Dallas, Fort Worth, Charlotte, Orlando, Denver, Las
Vegas, and New York. Every Del Frisco’s location has
been recognized locally with “Best of” awards by its
home city.
Del Frisco’s has been recognized nationally by receiving
the Di Rona Award for Distinguished Restaurants of North
America; Nation’s Restaurant News Fine Dining Hall of
Fame; Restaurants and Institutions Magazine Ivy Award;
and the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence.
The elegant 400-plus seat showcase restaurant will
occupy 13,000 square feet in the renovated Galleria
complex that formerly housed Lord and Taylor.
Del Frisco’s menu offers only the finest quality and
selection of meats and seafood, with prime beef as its
namesake. A special section designated “Lagniappe,”
tying back to the restaurant’s New Orleans origins,
meaning “a little something extra”, appeals to smaller
appetites with its entrees and included side order.
Customer favorites include:
Prime aged, corn-fed beef straight from the Midwest. The
beef is never frozen, and the chef cuts the steak to
order right off the loin when the ticket enters the
kitchen. Del Frisco’s has continued to source their
quality beef from the same provider for more than 20
years.
20-32 oz. Australian Cold-Water Lobster Tails
Osso Buco
Veal Chop
Fresh Salmon with Tchoupitoulas Sauce
Fresh Halibut with Citrus Vinaigrette
Del Frisco’s is known for attention to detail in its
sleek décor, and the Houston location will emerge as the

Houstonians. Patrons will bask in the luxury of
accoutrements including:
Mahogany clad interiors;
Signature, double handcrafted swirling staircases;
Hand painted custom Italian glass ceiling art and light

Del Frisco’s is recognized nationally for its
award-winning cuisine and fine wine offerings. The
restaurant will offer full-time sommeliers to assist
customers in selecting the perfect bottle of wine for
each meal. In addition, Del Frisco’s wine list consists
of over 1,650 selections from all over the world, with
over 20,000 bottles in inventory.
The restaurant’s showcase wine cellar features mahogany
floor to ceiling wine walls and imported Italian stone
floors and a capacity to store 15,000-20,000 wines. The
private dining cellar can accommodate up to 100 guests
or be transformed into two or three smaller dining areas
for more intimate events.
“One of the keys to our success is the care we’ve taken
when selecting a city for a new Del Frisco’s location,”
said Dee Lincoln, one of Del Frisco’s founders.
“Houstonians are known for their love for prime meat and
seafood, and the city’s reputation for the finest
restaurant cuisine, making it a perfect choice for Del
Frisco’s.”
Arthur Mooradian, who serves at the helm of Del Frisco’s
sister restaurant Sullivan’s Steakhouse located at 4608
Westheimer in Houston, will also serve as Del Frisco’s
General Manager. Houston Del Frisco’s Executive Chef
Steve Haug has recently been promoted to the position
from within the organization. Prior to this position,
Haug worked under the supervision of Del Frisco’s
Corporate Executive Chef Thomas Dritsas and
award-winning Executive Chef David Holben of the Del
Frisco’s Dallas location. Del Frisco’s will ultimately
employ a staff of 150.
According to GM Mooradian, “After working in this
industry for more than 20 years, I have never
experienced such a unique offering that blends
sophistication, quality, and service with a ‘little
something extra’. The attention to detail, sleek and
sexy décor mixed in with the Louisiana flair is what
makes Del Frisco’s an exciting place to be.”
“This isn’t ‘your good ole boy steakhouse’ by any means.
Del Frisco’s will offer an opportunity for Houstonians
to enjoy a premiere steakhouse – including the
traditional white table cloth -- with a kick,” he added.
