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

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.

Book Now: The Upscale Options

Morton’s The Steakhouse

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. Families can also add Perry’s 3-Course Pork Chop Sunday Supper alongside brunch cocktails. Available now through June 21.

Moxies

Purchase a $100 Moxies gift card before June 21 and receive $20 back in bonus cards — available for online purchases only through June 21. A strong gift card play for anyone who wants to treat Dad to an elevated night out on his own schedule.

Gift Card Bonus Worth Acting on Now

Applebee’s

Get a free $10 bonus card with any $50 in Applebee’s gift card purchases through June 28. This one runs past Father’s Day, giving you a little flexibility — but it’s worth doing before the holiday if you’re giving it as a gift.

Jason’s Deli — Spring Gift Card Offer

Receive a $5 bonus card with the purchase of a $50 Jason’s Deli gift card. On Father’s Day itself (June 21), Deli Dollars Rewards members get a free dessert with purchase at participating locations.

Father’s Day Deals — June 21 Only

Happy Joe’s Pizza & Ice Cream — Dads Eat Free or Free Dessert Pizza

Participating Happy Joe’s locations will offer either a “Dads Eat Free” promotion with the purchase of an adult buffet, or a free small dessert pizza with the purchase of any large pizza. Call your local location to confirm which offer they’re running.

Perkins Restaurant & Bakery — $10.99 Burger, Fries & Pie

Perkins is offering a Burger, Fries & Pie meal for just $10.99 on Father’s Day — dine-in only. A solid value for a family-friendly Father’s Day lunch or dinner.

Jason’s Deli — Free Dessert for Rewards Members

On June 21, Deli Dollars Rewards members receive a free dessert with any entrée purchase at participating locations.

The Bottom Line

Father’s Day is one week from today — and the difference between a great dinner and a scrambled backup plan comes down to whether you call ahead and book now. 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.
