The Best Food Deals That'll Help You Celebrate Father's Day

The third Sunday of June is Father's Day — a time to appreciate special paternal bonds, acknowledge the responsibilities of fatherhood, and laugh extra hard at all those dad jokes (no matter how hard the urge to groan might be). And one way to make those dad puns go down easier is to pair them up with some delicious food and drink.

Father's Day weekend is rife with discounts, special offers, and limited-time menus. There are several offers from popular outlets running all through the month and you can use any of them to make it a special day for dads and granddads. However, we're looking at specific Father's Day deals that go the extra mile in curating the perfect gift for your (not so) old man. So, whether it's chicken wings, coffee, cakes, or golf clubs that he's into, there's a great Father's Day deal waiting for you at these outlets.

The big red hat is leading the Father's Day celebrations charge with the Arby's Burger Driver. Best of all, you don't even need to make a purchase to qualify. Simply log onto the contest website and register to win one of the limited edition burger-inspired golf clubs. You can also sign up for the Arby's Rewards program to get a 25% discount on your first Arby's order.

In addition to putting the spotlight on golf-loving dads, it also draws attention to Arby's new limited burgers — The Big Cheesy Bacon Burger and the Deluxe Burger. Then there's also Arby's 5 for $5 Classic Roast Beef Sandwiches offer that runs from June 10 through Father's Day. We'd suggest "clubbing" all these great offers to give golf or beef enthusiast fathers a treat on their special day.

If Italian food is more his jam, Fazoli's has some great Father's Day deals. The chain's participating outlets are offering a free serving of Fettucine Alfredo or Spaghetti with Meat Sauce or Marinara with all entrée orders. Simply use the code Father24 in the app to redeem this offer. And while you're there, don't forget to feast on Fazoli's legendary breadsticks! We'd recommend checking with your nearest Fazoli's outlet beforehand to ensure it's participating in the offer. 

You can spoil your dad with a meal at Nobu, which has a special four-course brunch menu for Father's Day. The spread features the restaurant's signature offerings including sushi, hand rolls, and stone-grilled Japanese beef (Ishiyaki). Everyone gets to choose from a list of dishes for each course, so expect a lot of variety, but you will have to pay extra for beverages since they're not included in the brunch menu. Adult meals are $95 and there is also a special kids bento meal available for $39.

From June 1 through June 15, Baskin-Robbins is offering a $5 discount on purchases over $35 when you use the promo code "DAD" at checkout in the app. The ice cream chain's Father's Day-themed ice cream cakes are on point. You can choose between the old-favorite Cold One Cake which resembles a giant frosty mug of beer or the Best Dad by Par Cake, which features the golf-themed pun in icing. Both cakes are flavor-customizable and allow you to choose from some of Baskin-Robbins' most popular flavors. Be sure to pre-order so you can get your dad-themed ice cream cake on time.

Buffalo Wild Wings is great for an early Father's Day treat, and slipping dad a gift card on Sunday that he can use any day of the week during his special month respects pop's busy schedule. Every Monday and Wednesday B-Dubs outlets offer All You Can Eat Boneless Wings and Fries for just $19.99, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays, there are buy-one-get-one offers on wings. All through June, you can also use the promo code — GOWINGS to get 6 free wings with any $10 purchase at the chain's takeout and delivery outlets (Buffalo Wild Wings Go).

On Father's Day weekend, Dunkin' is offering Dunkin' Rewards members three times the points they would otherwise get. This deal is valid on Saturday (June 15) and Sunday (June 16) and applies only on bulk orders so you'll enjoy 3X points if you order a half-dozen, dozen, 25, or 50 donuts (the latter two are called MUNCHKINS orders). Dunkin' outlets also have its $1 Chocolate Chunk Cookie available through June, so you can pick up delicious surprises for all the cookie fans around.

For the budding mixologist or cocktail enthusiast fathers, Jimmy John's and Zing Zang have joined forces to come out with a custom Bloody Mary mix flavored with the punchy flavors of the sandwich chain's iconic pickles. The Jimmy Pickle Bloody Mary Mix is available for $9.99 a bottle and makes a nice addition to Father's Day cookouts. For the uninitiated, there's some interesting science underpinning mixing pickle juice and alcohol, and the result is a delicious savory, boozy combination.

Groovy dads can feast on SONIC's Groovy Fries, and you can treat him to your heart's content because these crispy, crinkle-cut beauties are just $1 per serving all through June. Pair them with Groovy Sauce, a creamy ranch-flavored dip with the kick of Sriracha, which you can request for free with every Groovy Fry order. The chain's regular menu of burgers, shakes, and sandwiches remains as tempting as ever, and the Chili Cheese Coneys made with extra-long flavorful sausages are great for dads who love hot dogs.

To celebrate Father's Day, Round Table Pizza has a 10% discount on all orders when you use the promo code FATHERS10. The offer runs from June 14 through June 23, so you've got Father's Day weekend covered as well as the following week for some impromptu celebrations. Since the discount is valid on your total bill on dine-in as well as delivery orders, this is a great time to try out the chain's local specials at your nearest Round Table Pizza outlet.

If you're in the Southwest, you've probably sampled some of Native Grill and Wings' delicious offerings and washed them down with a pint. And if you haven't, Father's Day is a great time to do so. The chain is offering special pricing for dine-in customers on Sunday, June 16, with $3 draft beer pints and burgers for $7.50. Dads who like the simple things in life will enjoy a day of wings, burgers, and beer here. 

For beach vibes and award-winning wings, celebrate Father's Day at Hurricane Grill and Wings. Participating outlets of the chain are offering a free domestic draft beer on all orders of $14.99 and above on Sunday, June 16. The offer is for dine-in orders only; fortunately, it's quite easy for Team Dad to spend a lazy Sunday at a Hurricane Grill and Wings outlet. The menu has a delectable range of starters, mains, salads, and snack-able wings and shrimp so you can make the most of the free beer deal.

How about endless fries with your burger? Buffalo's Cafe is another great chain for grill and Mexican-inspired bites, and on Father's Day, the chain's outlets are offering unlimited fried or its iconic freshly made Tumbleweed Chips along with $10 burgers to dine-in customers. There's an extensive drinks menu with refreshing summer cocktails and mocktails, so this is a great place for large groups or for the whole family to spend Father's Day.

For Middle-Eastern and Mediterranean flavors, head to The Halal Guys. The chain's beef gyro platters are legendary, and you can also get some of that slow-roasted goodness in a pita sandwich. Incidentally, June 12 is International Falafel Day and the chain is giving away free falafels with all platter and sandwich orders. 

If you haven't tried the food here, we suggest sampling the falafels and gyros on the 12th, and then ordering your favorites on June 16 (Father's Day) when the chain has a 25% discount offer on all orders. The deals are valid on all dine-in orders as well as those made on the chain's website and app.

And if you plan to stock pops up for the whole year, Lavazza is tossing in a free branded mug for orders for $150 and more. 

Or, consider getting him a subscription to Atlas Coffee Club, which specializes in single-origin coffees and has a special $10 discount on subscriptions for Father's Day. You can also pick up Father's Day gifts from Atlas Coffee Club and avail up to $50 in discounts.

Murray's Cheese has a huge selection of specially curated cheese charcuterie boards for Father's Day, as well as discounts on gifts, specialty cheeses, and other products on its online store.
