Dee Lincoln—commonly referred to as “The Queen of Steaks” is going back to her fine-dining roots with her newest venture Dee Lincoln Prime located at The Star in Frisco. The 8,000 square foot stunner will officially open to the public December 1. 

Dee Lincoln Prime is an upscale steakhouse with Executive Chef TJ Lengnick serving steaks from award-winning and premier purveyor of prime meat, Allen Brothers. Lengnick who’s resume includes working in impressive high-volume, high-end kitchens such as Pappas Bros. Steakhouse, Stephan Pyles, Jasper’s and Shinisei says, “I was blown away when Dee asked me to join her team. I feel I’ve been training for this my entire career. It is an honor to be working for a legend in this industry.”

One of the unique differentiators of Dee Lincoln Prime is that it houses a sushi bar headed up by well-regarded sushi Chef Mark Tungcmittrong. He is the co-owner of Bambu and Sushi Rock with prior stints at Tei Tei Robata Bar and Steel Sushi Restaurant & Lounge.  While his son runs their family restaurants, Chef Mark will be serving omakase at a very exclusive, reservations-only 6 seat sushi bar located inside the vibrant bar area. 

The sushi bar not only showcases Chef Mark’s talent but the dramatic Tequila wall or “library” behind him is a centerpiece for sushi lovers to pair a number of 32 different tequilas. Dee Lincoln Prime has a tequila menu ranging from Riazal at $15 per 1.5 ounces to rare brands like the Patron Lalique at $950.

A more conventional sushi menu of Chef Mark’s top specialties will be available throughout the restaurant and at the bar as well.

The custom climate-controlled wine cellar boasts 2100 bottles with an additional wine room housing 575 bottles. The wine list is global with well-balanced choices to complement the menu.

A dramatic horseshoe-shaped full-service bar with stunning marble imported from Italy seats 22 guests. The dining room and patio seat an estimated 200 people with three additional private dining rooms seating 90 in total.
