Del Frisco’s Restaurant Group Announces Opening of Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse in Santa Clara Valley Fair Mall By Bonnie Carroll I'm thrilled to hear DelFrisco's is opening a restaurant in Santa Clarita so I can once again experience their amazing menu. During a writing assignment through Texas years ago I dined at many famous Texas steak venues to select a few of the best to include for recommendations to travelers visiting the Lone Star State in search of outstanding beef. Del Frisco's in Fort Worth was hands down my favorite, and the double level, rich and Texas elegant restaurant was not only unforgettable, but they served me a beyond outstanding steak served with creamed spinach and a huge head lettuce salad covered with signature dressing I still dream of. It was like living out a segment of “Dallas” being shot at the Oil Barons Ball; I kept expecting J.R and Bobby to come walking through the door.
