A gift and a mug for father's day

Father’s Day Is One Week Away — Here’s Where to Take Dad and What to Book Now

Healthy Fact of the Day

Father's Day is one of the biggest restaurant days of the year — and a celebratory meal absolutely deserves to feel indulgent. If you're heading to a steakhouse, bone-in cuts like the Perry's Ribeye or Morton's Cajun Ribeye are naturally more flavorful with less need for heavy sauces, making them a slightly leaner choice than butter-laden preparations. For families choosing a buffet, starting with protein and vegetables before circling back for sides and dessert is a simple strategy that helps keep the plate more balanced without feeling like a sacrifice on a celebratory day. Most importantly — enjoy it. Dad deserves a great meal.

Father’s Day is next Sunday, June 21 — and if you haven’t made a reservation yet, now is the time. The best steakhouse and fine dining spots fill up fast for Father’s Day, and several deals require advance planning or purchases before the holiday arrives.

Here’s a full guide organized from splurge-worthy dinners to family-friendly deals — everything confirmed for 2026.

Morton’s is rolling out a special Father’s Day menu featuring Wagyu Beef Dumplings, a 16-oz Cajun Ribeye, and thick-cut onion rings with Black Truffle Aioli. If Dad is a steak lover, Morton’s is the move — but reservations go fast on Father’s Day. Book through OpenTable or Morton’s website now.

Perry’s Steakhouse & Grille

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

Baked Dill Pickle Pretzels

Baking rather than frying keeps these pretzels significantly lighter than their deep-fried counterparts while still achieving a satisfying golden exterior. The pickle juice contributes natural sodium and vinegar, which means less added salt is needed to achieve bold, well-seasoned flavor throughout the dough.

The Pasta That Takes Twenty Minutes and Tastes Like It Took All Day

Pasta — particularly pasta made from semolina durum wheat and cooked al dente — has a significantly lower glycemic index than most other refined grain preparations, producing a slower and more sustained blood glucose response than white bread, white rice, or overcooked pasta made from the same flour. The al dente cooking that professional cooks prefer for texture reasons also preserves the pasta’s intact starch structure, which slows digestion and moderates the glycemic response further. Adding olive oil and protein-containing ingredients — anchovies, tuna, eggs, cheese — to pasta further reduces the glycemic impact of the meal by slowing the digestion of the carbohydrates, making a properly made pasta with protein and good fat a metabolically appropriate meal for most people.

Cheeseburger Stuffed Peppers

Bell peppers are one of the richest sources of vitamin C available and deliver vitamins A and B6 alongside antioxidants—making the pepper vessel a genuinely nutritious component rather than simply a low-carbohydrate bun substitute. Using lean ground beef keeps the protein content high while moderating the saturated fat in the filling.
