Del Frisco’s Grille

This restaurant is absolutely amazing! From the décor to the wait staff, everything is centered around the customers needs. I had gone for a valentine’s lunch with my girlfriend and put in a special request upon reservation for a single red rose to be on the table. To my delight the manager himself had gone out and purchased a rose and brought it to my table for my girlfriend. Again, the customer centered service is emphasized. I would 100% recommend this to anybody thinking of going there!

We had a great experience here! We made reservations on a busy Saturday night and were seated immediately when we arrived. Everything we had was delicious. I’m a vegetarian and my biggest pet peeve is when you order a veggie burger and they give you a frozen patty — so not the case here! One of the best veggie burgers I have ever had with yummy well-​seasoned sweet potato fries on the side. Our order came out quickly, and our waiter and a manager came over frequently to check on us. You can’t beat the view of the NYC skyline on the waterfront, and the décor inside was clean and modern. A wonderful dining experience start to finish!

Nice décor & location, but overall it’s more TGI Friday’s without the 2 for $ 20 menu than steakhouse destination.
The menu was fun, with a variety of interesting items, which I would like to return and try more of. The corn bisque and ahi tuna tacos were great apps, and they do a good job with the drinks.
As far as meals — ribeye was good, not great, and overcooked. Cheeseburger was also cooked more than I’d like for a steakhouse type burger but it was still solid. The fries were pretty weak.
the mac and cheese side was good, but everything ordered was exceptionally salty, aside from the fries which could have used a bit more.
Fantastic service — I’d return here but not for a steak dinner.

Went there for my sister’s birthday as she has Celiac Disease and they have Gluten free food. Place was kinda busy for a Sunday evening/​night, though I believe she made a reservation ahead of time so once we go there we only had to wait maybe a minute or two to get seated.
It was kinda dark were we were sitting, but that really only bothered my dad who wanted to take photos, it was fine for eating and talking and such. I felt the menu was sort of limited and pricey but to be fair I don’t usually go to restaurants like this very often. I didn’t like how the Menu was labeled though, for example appetizers where «Food to Fight Over», I don’t usually fight over appetizers at a restaurant.
Anyway, got the Green Chili Cheeseburger, and it was pretty good. It wasn’t the most amazing burger experience I’ve had in my life but it was tasty burger. The French fries (not sure still if the regular fries came with the burger or if you had to pay extra as the sweet potato fries on the bottom seemed to be extra) were actually really good, probably the best regular fries I’ve had in a while and the little Ketchup bottle that came with the fries was completely adorable to the point where I had to point it out to the waitress who told me many people love those little bottles.
Wait staff was very nice, when they thought they lost my sister’s birthday cake (which was my mom’s fault for not explaining she had the cake the whole time) they were completely awesome about, doing their best to get it all resolved as best they could. Very nice. However it felt like we were waiting longer than we needed to after dinner, which made me a little antsy as the only place I found to park was a parking garage and I didn’t want a huge parking bill to pay.
Overall, I’d say it’s a nice place to eat, food is good, a little expensive though and wasn’t amazing enough for me to go back «just for the food» so I probably wouldn’t eat here unless for a special occasion. The view of NYC is gorgeous btw, check that out as you leave!

Seated an hour late at 9:30 for our 8:30 reservation, then waited another 5 minutes before even seeing a server.
Food was mediocre to good depending on what you ordered. Unfortunately the restaurant’s inability to manage expectations regarding seating time overshadowed the food.
All in, OKAY experience. Would probably avoid this place on a weekend, even with a reservation.

This is a welcome addition to the neighborhood, considering the only other steak houses are Arthur’s Tavern (3^rd and Washington) and DIno and Harry’s (14^th and Garden). The vibe of this place is more similar to dino and harry’s as it’s «nicer.» This is the hipper version of a steakhouse — it’s not «old» and stuffy and it’s not divey either. [I think the Del Frisco’s Grille in Rock Center is nicer tho].
I sat at a booth by the kitchen. Honestly, I think the restaurant can’t make up it’s mind. The lighting isn’t dim enough for it to feel super swanky. But I love the way the circle lights overhead look. I also liked that the booth had hooks for coats. They also have a coat check at the hostess stand if you are put at a table.
There is a bar with a pretty large bar space tucked in the front corner behind the host area. Might be a good place to catch a game or grab pre-​dinner drinks also.
I wasn’t super hungry this time around so only ordered a spicy pork flatbread and the signature ahi tuna entrée. Both were really delicious and the portions were surprisingly larger than I would expect them to be at a place like this. Hanger steak is $ 25 /​A 16 oz. rib eye will set you back $ 41.
The clientele was mostly post-​business happy hour hang-​arounders and younger people ready to go out on the town. So when you visit here, don’t dress like a bum. While you will be allowed in, you’ll generally stick out because everyone else is put together nicely.
Obviously many people come for the steak and other hearty entrees. But it’s also nice that they serve lower priced items as well such as sandwiches, burgers & salads all the time. Some of the appetizers looked large enough to fill someone up also. Everyone can come here and have a great meal regardless of their budgetary restrictions.

I’m a huge fan of the ‘regular’ Del Frisco’s in NYC et al.
This does a good job of being a more casual version of Del Frisco’s. There’s a good amount of overlap. VIPs, some of the steaks… both delicious.
Service is younger and less formal. A bunch of cheaper apps and sides make it much cheaper, easier to do on a regular night than Del Frisco’s.
Steak quality is almost as good as the original. Service is a step down but solid.
Really like this place, have been a few times and will continue to go.

This was our first time at Del Friscos grille. When we walked in, we loved the décor and ambiance. The wait staff was friendly, and attentive (as you would expect at a steakhouse) We ordered the prime cheeseburger and the 16 oz prime New York strip. The cheeseburger was flavorful and worth every penny. The steak and potatoes came out room temperature and needed to be sent back to be reheated. There is no comparison to the meat quality at the Double Eagle Del Friscos in Manhattan. Overall, the food was very good, however, this deserves at 3 star rating due to the fact that the food is expected to be better for the price that is paid.
We would come back here for «bar food» but we will not be returning for a upscale/​steak dinner.

It’s exactly like the chain, Houston’s, and has great service. You can tell the waiters have been extremely well trained being that they memorized everything and give recommendations for every course without being asked.
It gives hearty meals with loads of herbs and sauces. The portions are pretty decent bring that they fill you up, but you won’t have any left to take home.
I definitely recommend the crab cake appetizer. It’s three words: the bees knees. I also got the salmon which was pretty big and comes with a brussel sprout /​quinoa salad.
The only downer to this place is that it’s super loud and the tables are so big that it makes it especially hard to hear people. But hey, an over crowded restaurant is a better problem to have than an empty one

Popped by here — plenty of elbow space, and yes, the only entry is on the River Dr., don’t try to go through the W hotel (they redirect you). There’s street and lot parking nearby, but nothing valet or similar (the valet there is for the hotel, so be warned).
Staff is friendly and young (quite interesting set of tattoos on a few of them, they seem to have quite a few goth-​loving servers that night based on the dark make-​up and piercings), but set up quickly and off to our seats. The wine and drinks were quick, then they came back multiple times as we tried to figure out the menu.
Starters:
— Ahi tuna tacos: so-​so, a touch spicy so that was a nice kick. Never been a huge fan, and these didn’t wow me as anything to order again.
— Cheesesteak eggrolls: Ah, these are good, hot and delicious with just the right amount of savory steak that’s juicy and a mix of cheese and a BBQ sauce on the side to use
Main:
— Prime Beef Short Rib Stroganoff was good — could have done with a bit more al dente pasta to balance the rib meat. Meat was very salty, but was soft and fell apart without the knife.
— Others at the table had the Mignon and they enjoyed it (I did not try)
Sides like the shaved brussel sprouts w/​bacon was a little dry, and the fries were fries, but helped balance out the meat.
Dessert:
— Nutella Bread Pudding was fantastic. Highly recommend — we were the envy of the tables in the area.
— Lemon Doberge Cake — only get this if you like lemon/​lime meringue pie. Otherwise, skip.
Overall, a good experience and moved up a touch just because of the friendly service and will have to go back and try some of the other dishes!

Del Frisco’s Grille is a very welcome addition to the Hoboken dining scene. The restaurant wears many hats, as you can visit for an upscale steak dinner, or gastro-​pub style comfort food, a satisfying lunch menu, or Sunday brunch. My latest endeavor was an evening dinner for two.
The first thing you will notice is this new restaurant is super busy already and you should get a reservation at dinner hours. High ceilings, open kitchen, comfortable and spacious table or booth seating, the dining room looks and feels great. The bar is moderate-​sized, but once it gets busy there’s not a lot of elbow room there.
Our server was so polite, efficient and well-​trained I wish I asked his name to compliment him. Considering the busy dinner crowd, our meal was properly paced and enjoyable all the way through. We ordered the crab cake appetizer (one very good crab cake/​satisfying but overpriced), and the iceberg lettuce wedge which was brilliant in its blue cheese and bacon simplicity. One thing clearly missing is a raw bar; a shrimp cocktail or oysters would have fit in well tonight.
My friend ordered the NY strip which he enjoyed but didn’t find it as memorable as other prime steakhouses he frequents. I ordered the prime ribeye which was delicious. A woman came out to watch us cut the steaks to make sure they were perfectly cooked. My medium-​well was not ‘perfect’ per se, but close and not worth making a fuss. The steaks came with tasty garlic mashed potatoes.
For dessert, the Lemon Doberge cake is indulgent, maybe a little too rich for my blood. The Nutella bread pudding was likewise a hearty and tasty dessert yet the presentation could be a bit better. I think both of us would try a different dessert on a return visit.
The verdict? I would definitely go back. It’s a fun, lively restaurant (perhaps a bit noisy for a date night) and I enjoyed the food. There are only a few places in Hoboken you can get a similar steak dinner experience. There are some moderate-​priced entrees (meatloaf, roast chicken, burger, etc) If you want the experience but a less expensive tab. Give Del Frisco’s Grille a try and enjoy!

Absolutely superb meal.
I had the grass fed hangar sliced steak and it was cooked perfectly. It just about melted in my mouth. I got the hand mashed potatoes to go with it, which were also fantastic. Another member of my party got he same thing but with the mixed fries and he was raving about it. The third member of my party got the Steakhouse Salad and she, too, said it was the best meal she’s had in a long time.
We got the warm chocolate cake to wrap things up, and it was also fantastic. Melty, delicious goodness.
Prices were very good for a restaurant of this caliber. Service was attentive, friendly, and not overbearing.
Highly, highly recommended.

I honestly teetered on 2 stars, but I will round up but this was a solid 2.5 experience for me and my bride.
We came for lunch on a Saturday, the place is huge inside and while nice it definitely had that chain-​y vibe but it was still nice. The hostess sat us in a booth by the bar. We waited no less than 10 minutes before we were greeted, we were literally about to get up and go to the bar (or just leave) and a server came up because I think the bartender could see no one was coming. The server comes up and says «i’m not your waiter so it’s not my fault but I will get your drink order.» Um, ok? We placed our food orders as well, I got the regular cheeseburger and the wife the green chilies burger.
After another 10 – 12 minutes of no communication another server comes over and says he will be taking care of us, his colleague was just helping out. Trust me I get being in the weeds, I get being new but this was really disjointed.
The burgers were ok. I mean, I expect a place like this to have something other than a glorified Shake Shack burger for 13 bucks. Actually, shake shack burgers may be better. While it had a decent flavor it was just a basic fast food burger to me. I feel they should have a real patty you can get cooked to temperature at a place like a Del Frisco’s, Grille or not. I would much rather go to Oniels down the street for a burger. The fries were just sysco type fries, I also expected a bit better on that front.
Maybe I will come back and try a steak here but I would never order a burger here again and maybe I will give it some time to work out the new kinks, but it’s really just another chain place.

Food we tried was great. Steaks were delicious and the ahi tuna too. A little bit pricey but it’s a real nice place to eat. Also to have drinks.
I’d definitely eat here again for sure. It gets packed over the weekend so if you’re gonna dine here make sure to make a reservation.

I came here with my friend on Saturday and it was packed so definitely make a reservation if you go on a weekend! We sat at the bar and had drinks and appetizers and I thought everything was good. The drinks were really good and creative. I had the «morning after» which had coconut water in it. The appetizers were great too. We got the guacamole, deviled eggs and lollipop chicken wings. I liked the wings a lot. The atmosphere is very trendy and the service was great.

Had lunch here twice so far. Both times the food was great, but the first time my server had no bloody clue what was on the menu. He didn’t know what fish was in the fish taco (it’s only one fish dish in case you think that’s unreasonable) or the soup of the day. I ordered the 2 fish tacos with a side soup (explained to be tomato bisque but ended up being a corn chowder bisque). And received a side of cold fries. I still ate them but I was slightly disgruntled while doing so.
But he did recommend the VIP cocktail that features pineapple infused vodka (AMAZING) and we became friendly again.
Second visit I ordered the mushroom, fontina cheese and arugula flat bread with truffle oil… Hands down foodgasm!!!
And I had another VIP :-)

Super disappointed. The nutella bread pudding was the only thing I would call «good».
I came here on a Saturday for lunch. First of all, we brought our 9 week old daughter and the hostess was very accommodating in allowing us to bring our stroller to the table. It looked like they made all other families with babies leave their strollers at the door so I was relieved they let us take ours! That great service experience is why I’m giving 2 stars.
Ok, so the food. My fault in not checking the menu online but I assumed they would have big, juicy steaks for lunch… maybe like a ribeye… but NOPE! I psyched myself up all week for nothing. The only entrée steaks on the menus were a hanger steak and a 6 oz filet mignon. Seeing as I do not like filet mignon, I ordered the hanger RARE. The waitress asked me twice if I was sure I wanted rare because it was red in the middle… I responded the redder the better! (I like my steak to moo.) However, when I received the steak, you’d think I ordered it well done! I couldn’t even find pink in the center — it was fully cooked through and grisly. Super duper disappointed.
The appetizers were good but nothing to write home about. We ordered the:
*Cheesesteak eggrolls: Decently good but the American cheese had coagulated and tasted so artificial. This would have been much better if they had used cheddar or another cheese that was melty and oozy.
*Ahi Tuna Tacos: Good but lacking in tuna quantity. I thought it was loaded but when I bit into the taco, it was filled with lettuce instead of tuna. Disappointed considering what they charged for it at all.
*Meatball Flatbread: Took 1 look at the meatball and said — that was DEFINITELY frozen at some point! It was crusty like the ones you get from bulk bags at costco. I was appalled since this is how I make pizza at home. I didn’t expect this at a Del Frisco!
*Deviled Eggs: Taste was OK but the looks was completely off putting. A perfectly round spherical ball of yolk in an egg white. The perfect roundness of the yolk just made me think that they had some guy spooning out the yolk mixture with a melon baller and stuck it into a ready prepared egg white in an assembly line. Didn’t look like it was done with any love at all — can’t really describe why this put me off but it did.
For entrees, our table ordered the burger, banh mi, meatloaf, and my steak. Burger was the clear winner here and we all looked at the burger with green eyed envy. The Banh Mi was just dying for some sriracha sauce.
I’d like to come back for dinner but I’m hesitating now since my hanger steak was SO overcooked. Still, might come back after they are open for a while and their kitchen/​menu normalizes a bit.

2 stars for friendly service. That was the highlight of my experience of Del Frisco’s. I am qualifying friendly as our waitress apologizing after spilling a drink on a chair. Unfortunately from start to finish there were reasons why I’ll never come back here.
First, we walked in with reservations. Our party had already arrived and was sitting at the bar. I said this to the hostess (dressed in a lace back black dress and looking more like she belonged at a go-​go bar) and was immediately questioned. We should have gotten patted down and put through a metal detector the way these girls were looking at us. I just wanted to see my family at the bar and they felt the need to take our names and check that our party had actually made a reservation.
We get to our table and orders were taken. Out of 6 people in our party, 2 orders were correct. My burger was majorly overcooked, and they brought out the wrong sides. One of the shared sides never even arrived. My husband’s steak was undercooked and rare when he ordered medium.
My food was so-​so. I ordered a roasted artichoke as an appetizer. The leaves were so tough. The taste was decent.
Now, the most disgusting part of my evening. If I can figure out attach a picture to my review I will, but the «warm hand cloths» that were given to us had muddy water running from them. I kid you not. The plate had brown water on it. Why would I wash my hands with dirt?
Totally unimpressed. As a Hoboken resident, I will not recommend this place to anyone.

I think Hoboken really needed a place like this. It’s perfect for the 25 – 40 year old ‘yuppie’ crowd, great for a drink after work, a work dinner or a date. Both times I have been here, everything was absolutely perfect. I’ll start with the décor, I love the wall to ceiling windows and the open layout, I also love the rectangular bar, the flat screen tvs by the bar, the comfortable bar seats, and the win bottles tastefully placed on racks throughout the entire restaurant.
Now both times I have been here, they told me they didn’t have a table, but I never waited more than 15 – 20 minutes before they found me at the bar and told me my table was ready. This time around we ordered two cocktails to start, which were both amazing. I had the Apt5D, which was amazing, I loved the delicious fresh strawberry flavor and my buddy had the VIP, which was crisp and refreshing.
We split the tuna tacos, which come 4 to an app, they’re small but very tasty. Then both times I have been here I had the Parmesan encrusted sole, which is delicious. It’s lightly battered with Parmesan and some butter and lemon and has arugula salad on top. For desert we split the molten chocolate cake with raspberry and some vanilla ice cream, yummm.
I don’t know if it’s because the restaurant is so new, but everyone here is super nice. I’m waiting for the novelty to wear off and everyone goes back to being an un-​super friendly waitress/​manager, but for the time being, it’s really nice, so much so that it made me go back twice in one week.
Overall, very happy this place opened in Hoboken. I’m always looking for a cute date spot with good wines, tasty food, and chill atmosphere and this place has it all. Oh yeah, the wine menu is spectacular, even by the glass… they have 10+ wines by the glass, which is awesome. In any case, if you haven’t been, definitely check it out!

We couldn’t be happier with our visit to Del Frisco’s. The food was delicious, the service on point and the wait staff incredibly warm and friendly. No wonder this newest spot in Hoboken (barely a week old), already seems to be a local favorite!
Del Frisco’s grill has ample seating both indoors and outdoors making it GREAT for groups. We walked in on a weekday evening without a reservation and they were able to accommodate us, even though the place was bursting at the seams.
Everything we tried was really fresh and delicious. To start with we got the guac and chips, truffle mac and cheese & ahi tuna tacos. The mac and cheese was exceptional — delectable in every bite! Really the best I’ve ever had. Dreaming of it ever since!
The tacos and guac were good as well, though the latter could have been spicier; the gauc is a chunky version with huge pieces of avocado in it — personally not a fan, as it takes away some of the flavor.
For the main course, our friends got the Filet mignon, Tomato and Mozzarella flatbread, the husband opted for the Parmesan lemon sole and I got the Crab Cake with cajun lobster sauce. The sole was a really generous portion of flaky delicate fish that was batter fried & came with a bed of arugula crab salad — the chunks of crab on the salad was a nice touch. The filet mignon (medium rare) was done to perfection; the meat was succulent, juicy & had the perfect charr. The thin crust flat bread was bursting with cheese and fresh tomatoes. And last, but not the least the lump crab cake was flavorful and seasoned well.
With plenty of meat and seafood options on the menu, Del Frisco’s lacks vegetarian options — the veggie burger seems like a lackluster afterthought & another pasta dish or innovative sandwich would be welcome. The drinks are also on the higher side (read NYC prices) and a bottle of wine will set you back by $ 45. With apps and a main, look at paying $ 50 per person easily.
Though, the ambiance might be a little like a chain restaurant, service right from the word go was exceptional & the food was fantastic. We had a great time!
