Sunday, June 20 is Father’s Day this year. While the restaurant industry doesn’t often go all-out with brunches and dinners the way they do for Mother’s Day, places around town are busting out some specials to celebrate all the father figures out there. And, with COVID-19 restrictions being gradually loosened, there are even opportunities for indoor dining for those who feel comfortable doing so.

For all those looking to celebrate the dads in their lives, here are the takeout dinners, drink packages, and menu specials for the holiday. As usual, this list is organized geographically, not ranked.

The latest CDC guidance for vaccinated diners during the COVID-19 outbreak is here; dining out still carries risks for unvaccinated diners and workers. Please be aware of changing local rules, and check individual restaurant websites for any additional restrictions such as mask requirements. Find a local vaccination site here.
