For the grillmaster Dad 🥩
If your Dad spends the weekends cleaning the grill and wearing a “Kiss the Cook” apron, gift them a grilling package or a burger box from B&B Butchers. Or let someone else do the cooking this time and head over to Il Modo for a specialty 22-ounce ribeye and Tuscan potatoes. Reserve your table now.
For the vacation-mode Dad 🪑
OK, maybe you just want to lounge around with Dad. Take relaxation with you wherever you go with a Trippy Outdoor chair. Bonus: Get $30 off a Dreamer chair for Dad now until Father’s Day + pair it with (in our opinion, the cutest) Lil Trip chair for a father-kiddo adventure.

For the clean plate club Dad 🥧
Someone as sweet as Dad deserves their dessert done right. Sweet Lucy Pies serves up funky flavors and flakey crust + is currently offering a TX Whiskey pecan pie and a blueberry peach pie. Pre-order for Father’s Day-themed deliciousness. For the "man, that's smooth" Dad 🍺
Here’s a toast to all the Fort Worth father figures out there. Take them out to grab a seasonal or special release beer at Martin House Brewing Co. If Dad prefers to enjoy their spirits at home, treat them to a Texas-style Straight Bourbon Whiskey from Lockwood Distilling Co.
