Father’s Day lands on Sunday, June 15, and Austin restaurants are ready to show Dad some love with steaks, smoky bites, whiskey flights, and a whole lot of indulgence.

Here’s where to go for Father’s Day specials in Austin this year.

Stiles Switch BBQ & Brew

This Father’s Day, Stiles Switch is bringing back their cult favorite — the NOTORIOUS R.I.B. It’s a smoked beef rib set on a pile of golden fried tater tots, then drenched in housemade chile con queso. Only available a few times a year, this meaty monster comes with a limited-edition NOTORIOUS R.I.B. sticker, making it part meal, part collector’s item. Arrive early and stay for the rest of the smoked meats, scratch-made sides, and killer BBQ vibes. Doors open at 11 a.m. sharp.

Truluck’s

For the steak-and-whiskey dad, Truluck’s is pulling out all the stops. Alongside their signature hand-cut Filets, Ribeyes and New York Strips, they’re offering a premium Elijah Craig bourbon gift set for an extra $50 with any reservation. The set includes a bottle of Small Batch Bourbon, cocktail tools, a recipe book, branded glassware, and a few surprises. It’s an elevated dining experience for the dad who appreciates a good pour.

Perry’s Steakhouse

Perry’s is going full classic with a 22-ounce, bone-in, caramelized prime rib slow-roasted over pecan wood and served with their house steak butter, truffle merlot demiglace and homemade horseradish cream. Available all day for dine-in or to-go, it’s a hearty highlight at $69 per person. Or go for the three-course Pork Chop Sunday Supper for $49 with specialty brunch cocktails.

CARVE American Grille

CARVE is firing up a 22-ounce prime rib all day long, prepared over pecan wood and finished with their signature steak butter. Served with truffle merlot demiglace and creamy horseradish, it’s the star of the show. Brunch runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., with $13 cocktails or $39 carafes to toast Dad properly.

BOA Steakhouse

If your dad is a Wagyu aficionado, take him to BOA. On Father’s Day, they’re serving up Wagyu cigars with black garlic yuzu aioli and chili crisp, alongside a full-breed Westholme Wagyu platter featuring ribeye, NY strip and filet for four ($615). There’s also a specialty Smoked Julep cocktail and a take-home surprise gift for Dad.

Aba Austin

Settle in for a Mediterranean-style dinner on Aba’s lush patio with Father’s Day specials like a grilled Angus hanger steak with black garlic and rosemary jus, plus a Woodford Reserve cocktail called Drop Dad Gorgeous. Pair it with their fan-favorite mezze for a relaxed, flavor-packed evening.

VERDAD True Modern Mexican

Dads craving bold flavors will appreciate VERDAD’s Prime Steak Fajita & Rib Board for $29. It’s loaded with fajita steak, smoky barbacoa ribs, rice, beans, salsa, guac and tortillas. It’s a flavorful, no-fuss option perfect for a festive table of family and friends.

Loro

From Friday to Sunday, Loro will serve their signature Prime Rib Dinner for $29.95, alongside $9 Knob Creek Old Fashioneds or on-the-rocks pours. The prime rib comes with yuzu-horseradish cream, charred broccoli, and brisket jus, served until sold out at both the South Lamar and Domain locations.

Odds Bar & Bistro

For brunch lovers, Odds is serving up vanilla custard-soaked French toast, bacon pancakes with spicy syrup, and a decadent Odds Benedict. Mimosas are just $2, and every dad gets a complimentary dessert. Service runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and reservations are strongly encouraged.

Tómalo Grill

If your dad is into bold spirits and high-energy vibes, Tómalo Grill is pouring $10 margaritas and hosting $15 Burrito Mezcal and $25 Neta Mezcal flights. It’s a casual, drink-forward celebration perfect for the party-loving papa.

Codependent

Tucked in downtown, Codependent is offering two premium whiskey flights—Redbreast and Rabbit Hole—for $30, alongside the Emerald Isle cocktail made with Redbreast Whiskey, Cognac, Amaro Nonino and citrus. This is the move for cocktail dads looking to vibe in style.

SusieCakes

For the sweet-toothed dad (or the kids who want to bring him something from the heart), SusieCakes is offering a lineup of Father’s Day treats that are as thoughtful as they are delicious. Choose from oversized cookie cakes, classic cupcakes, or the show-stopping “Dad’s Little Artist Cake,” which transforms a child’s drawing into edible artwork on a vanilla celebration cake. The German Chocolate cupcake makes a special appearance for just two days, and all items are available for pre-order or in-store pickup at Austin locations. Nationwide shipping is available for long-distance surprises.

Whiskey Ridge

Take Dad to the Hill Country for a sunset dinner and top-tier whiskey. Whiskey Ridge offers bone-in Cowboy Ribeye, Gulf shrimp, smoked brisket nachos and deviled eggs with fried oysters. Their sprawling whiskey collection and build-your-own Bloody Mary bar round out the rustic-chic brunch and dinner vibes.
