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

Perry’s is offering a 22-oz Bone-In Caramelized Prime Rib pecan-wood-fired and topped with Perry’s Steak Butter, Truffle Merlot Demi-glace, and homemade horseradish cream for $69 per person, available all day dine-in or to-go.

The Morton’s and Perry’s menus are the top-tier choices for steak lovers, but all of these deals are worth knowing before next Sunday arrives. Make a plan, make a reservation, and make Dad feel like the occasion he is.

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!
