Del Frisco’s Grilles in Houston and Fort Worth Named to Opentable’s List of The 100 Hottest Restaurants in The Country
MARCH 20, 2014
Top 100 restaurants were distinguished by OpenTable, which analyzed 5 million reviews of 19,000 restaurants
SOUTHLAKE, Texas (March 20, 2014) —Del Frisco’s Restaurant Group is pleased to announce that two restaurants in its portfolio have been named to OpenTable’s Top 100 Hot Spot Restaurant list for 2014 in the United States. Del Frisco’s Grilles in Houston and Fort Worth were honored as part of the prestigious user-generated ranking. Based in Southlake, Texas, just outside Dallas, Del Frisco’s Restaurant Group is a collection of 40 restaurants located across the country, including Del Frisco’s Grille, Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steak House, and Sullivan’s Steakhouse.
The OpenTable Top 100 Hot Spot Restaurant list is a result of the collective opinions of more than five million reviews submitted by verified OpenTable guests for more than 19,000 restaurants in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The list is part of OpenTable’s Diners’ Choice ratings, which are compilations of member reviews organized into “Best Of” lists. Diners’ Choice ratings only use feedback from guests who were “seated” for their reservation (as opposed to those who didn’t show), and the data is continuously refreshed for unbiased feedback.
Del Frisco’s Grille is an exciting eatery dishing up creative twists on American comfort classics. In 2012, Del Frisco’s Grille was honored by Nation’s Restaurant News as the winner of the 18th annual Hot Concepts Award. Fans of Del Frisco’s Grille flock to the restaurant for favorites like Ahi Tuna Tacos, Cheesesteak Eggrolls, hand-crafted flatbreads, hearty salads, formidable sandwiches and prime steaks. Even late-night revelers get up early for a decadent weekend brunch at the Grille that includes an out-of-this-world Red Velvet Belgian Waffle and Chicken Fried Steak & Eggs with Chorizo Gravy.
With 300 selections from the Grille’s sleek “wine wall,” Del Frisco’s Grille offers a wide variety of choices that appeal to every palate from the adventurous to the traditional. Del Frisco’s Wine Director, David O’Day, has carefully selected wines from established and up-and-coming regions in the world, creating an unparalleled and adventurous wine list, surprisingly more extensive than those found in a traditional bar and grill.
“Having two restaurants earn a place on OpenTable’s Top 100 Hot Spot list is an incredible honor for the entire Del Frisco’s Restaurant Group family,” said Mark S. Mednansky, CEO of Del Frisco’s Restaurant Group. “We pride ourselves on not being a ‘cookie cutter’ restaurant group, so Del Frisco’s Grilles in Houston and Fort Worth have diverse menus that reflect the local taste of each city. We are grateful to our guests who use OpenTable for propelling us into the Top 100 list.”
