Dads are a huge part of our lives. They offer up life lessons like how to change your oil or what color shoes to wear with which shirt. At the same time, they’re brimming with jokes that always seem to make us chuckle. It’s only natural that we take the time to show Dad how special he is to us, and luckily Father’s Day is the perfect opportunity to do just that.
If you’re planning on taking Dad out to eat this June 19th, why not take him somewhere he’ll be treated like royalty? Dozens of restaurants both big and small have amazing dads eat free deals ranging from free desserts to free meals just for fathers. Dad can indulge in a flavor-packed burger or thick-cut steak — or a fine dining experience at a variety of specialty restaurants serving up Italian, French, or even gastropub fare.
Are you ready to show Dad how much he means to you? Check out our list of cheap or free Father’s Day meals, make your reservation, and get ready to treat Dad to the tastiest Father’s Day yet!
