Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steak House

Fort Worth's top steakhouse is a clubby two-level place for cattle barons, power brokers, jet-setters, and mere steak lovers. In a redbrick corner building (ca. 1890s), huge top-notch steaks are the story. The filet mignon (in 8- and 12-oz. versions) is butter-soft; other cuts of prime beef include a marbled rib-eye, prime porterhouse, and Santa Fe peppercorn steak. Pinstripe and new economy types will love the cigar lounge, which has a nice selection of Robustos, and the deep wine cellar. Desserts, if you make it to them, are every bit as artery-clogging and overwhelming as the main courses. For some Fort Worth natives, though, this bit of Big D swagger and priceyness is a bit much for their laid-back downtown. Cattlemen's Steakhouse is a little more low-key, though a step down in quality for beef lovers.
