Big steakhouse energy, wine list to match

Perry's wine list walks in with confidence — 145 labels and a sommelier on staff signal that this isn't an afterthought. The list skews California-heavy with a Bordeaux backbone, which is exactly what you'd expect from a white-tablecloth steakhouse in Frisco. No surprises, but no embarrassments either.
The list is built around what sells in a steakhouse: Cabernet Sauvignon, big red blends, and a respectable Champagne section anchored by Premier Cru selections. California dominates, with some Bordeaux-style representation rounding out the reds. Perry's leans into its own Private Label and Reserve wines, which is a smart house move but limits the thrill-of-the-hunt factor for wine nerds hoping to find something obscure. If you're chasing Burgundy depth or Old World adventure, you'll feel the gaps — but if you came for a serious Cab with your ribeye, Perry's delivers.
Twenty-eight by-the-glass options is genuinely strong for a steakhouse of this format, covering Champagne, Chardonnay, Rosé, Pinot Noir, and multiple Cabernet Sauvignon expressions. Social Hour pricing drops pours to the $5–$13 range, which is where real value hides on this list. Outside of that window, glass pricing climbs into upscale steakhouse territory fast.
Perry's Private Label Cabernet Sauvignon — $13
During Social Hour, Perry's house Cab is the move — purpose-built to drink well with steak, priced to not sting, and a reliable pour every time. It's the list doing exactly what it should for the setting.
Premier Cru Champagne
Most people at a Frisco steakhouse are reaching for Cab, which means the Premier Cru Champagne sits underordered. That's a missed opportunity — it's a legit food wine, it cuts through rich steak fat, and it makes a great opener before the big reds arrive.
Perry's Reserve Big Red Blend
House blends at upscale steakhouses tend to carry the highest markup relative to what's actually in the glass. The Reserve label adds perceived prestige, but at these price points you're paying for the Perry's brand story as much as the wine itself. Spend those dollars on a recognizable California producer instead.
Perry's Private Label Rosé + Perry's Famous Pork Chop
The pork chop is the signature for a reason — it's rich, slightly sweet, and enormous. A dry Rosé cuts through the fat without the tannin weight of a big red, keeping the meal from getting heavy too fast. It's a smarter order than it sounds in a steakhouse.
✔️ The Bottom Line
Perry's Frisco is a reliable steakhouse wine program — well-organized, staffed by someone who actually knows wine, and broad enough to keep most tables happy. The markups are steep and the list plays it safe, but if you work the Social Hour glass pours and know what you're ordering, you can drink well here without regret.
The Star / Lebanon Road · Frisco · Neapolitan Pizza
Cane Rosso Frisco isn't a wine destination, but the Tuesday and Wednesday half-price program turns a grocery-store-safe list into a genuinely compelling reason to show up mid-week. Come for the pizza, come back on a Tuesday, and don't overthink the wine.

Stonebriar Centre · Frisco · Asian-fusion, Chinese-inspired
P.F. Chang's Frisco isn't trying to impress anyone with its wine program, and it shows — this is a list built for familiarity, not discovery, with pricing to match. Eat the Mongolian Beef, maybe grab a cocktail, and save your wine curiosity for somewhere that returns the favor.

Stonebriar · Frisco · American grill and sushi, contemporary Asian-American
Kona Grill Frisco won't surprise you, and that's kind of the point — it's a reliable, crowd-pleasing wine program built for a busy suburban bar crowd, not serious wine exploration. Come for happy hour, order the Craggy Range, and leave the $145 Caymus for someone else.

Tupelo Honey Frisco isn't a wine destination, but it's a fair one — and Wine Wednesday half-price bottles make it genuinely worth planning around. Show up on a Wednesday, order the Fried Chicken & Waffles, and grab a bottle without sweating the markup.

The Shops at Starwood · Frisco · French Bistro
Bonnie Ruth's is a pleasant neighborhood bistro that treats wine as a supporting character rather than a destination — the list does its job without embarrassing anyone, but the markups are consistently steep for what you're getting. If you're going, go on a Wednesday when half-price bottles make the math a lot easier to swallow.

Half Shells Frisco is not a wine destination, and it knows it — but Monday's half-price bottle deal genuinely changes the math. Come for the oysters, grab a bottle of Santa Margherita at half off, and call it a win.

Downtown · Springfield · Upscale Steakhouse
Flame is doing what a downtown Springfield steakhouse should do — keeping the room happy with a recognizable, well-stocked list and an unusually strong by-the-glass program. It's not breaking new ground, but if you know what you want and pick carefully, there's a solid night of wine to be had here.

MidCity / University Drive · Huntsville · Upscale Steakhouse
Ruth's Chris Huntsville is exactly what it promises: a deep, Napa-heavy list with professional service and steep but expected pricing. We'd send a friend here for a business dinner or a celebration, as long as they go in knowing the list rewards the conventional and charges accordingly.

West Chandler · Chandler · Upscale Steakhouse
Fleming's Chandler is a reliable, well-run wine program that earns its reputation without doing anything surprising — the markup is real, but the staff knows what they're selling and the cellar conditions show it. Send a friend here for a business dinner; just steer them away from the Josh Cab.
