Father’s Day always sounds like it’s miles away, until suddenly, it’s this weekend and you’ve got nothing planned. No reservation, no gift, no idea what Dad even wants (besides maybe a little peace and quiet).
But before you panic and settle for a last-minute tie or “World’s Best Dad” mug, take a breath. You can still pull off a celebration that feels intentional. Whether your dad is the grill-master type, a brunch lover or someone who just wants an excuse to eat a giant ribeye, there are plenty of local spots ready to help you treat him right.
As of now, these North Texas restaurants still have availability for Father’s Day. That could change fast, so if you’re reading this, now’s your chance to book a table, score some brownie points and make it look like you had this all figured out from the beginning.
As of publishing, these restaurants had open availability, but that is subject to change.
Here’s Local Profile’s curated list of places to celebrate Dad (without looking like you forgot):
Kaleidoscope Park
When: June 14 | 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Where: 6635 Warren Pkwy, Frisco
Details
Celebrate the dads and grandpas in your life with a chill afternoon at Kaleidoscope Park. Think live music, lawn games like fowling (that’s football and bowling), food trucks and ice-cold beer from Tapaholic, all the ingredients for a laid-back, dad-approved day.
Lombardi Cucina Italiana
When: June 15 | Times vary
Where: 6655 Winning Dr, Frisco
Reservations
This Father’s Day, treat Dad to a bold Italian feast at Lombardi Cucina Italiana. He can sink his teeth into a Texas wagyu cowboy ribeye with garlic broccolini, gorgonzola potatoes and a truffle Barolo sauce, or twirl up some black tagliatelle with king crab and a white wine cream sauce. It’s rich, flavorful and way better than firing up the backyard grill.
Fleming’s
When: June 14 & 15 | Times vary
Where: 7250 Dallas Pkwy, Suite 110, Plano
Reservations
Make this Father’s Day one to remember with Fleming’s indulgent 3-course land-and-sea menu. Options include filet mignon with crab-stuffed shrimp or butter-poached lobster, a 20 oz bone-in ribeye with lobster tail, or go all-out with the 35 oz tomahawk and lobster combo. Every entrée comes with a salad and dessert, because Dad deserves the full treatment.
Pair it with featured drinks like the “Tee Time” (bourbon and mango tea and tropical vibes) or the “Father of Bourbon” tasting flight with three Elijah Craig pours.

It’s a celebration of great taste in every sense.
