If your dad is known for his refined palate and penchant for picking up the check, then we've got some deals for you. Here are some great places to take dad this Sunday to celebrate Father's day.

But, you'd better hop on those reservations quickly.

And in case you missed it, here's our list of the Best Barbecue Spots in Dallas.  If he's more of a fine dining guy, we have a local Michelin guide as well.

Al Biernat’s

Celebrate the “king of the day” with a luxe brunch at the swanky steak and seafood spot. From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., brunch offerings will include brisket Benedict and brioche French toast, then return for dinner service from 4:30 to 9 p.m. Dads are encouraged to pair their steak with featured brews from Kingsville Brewery, and they’ll leave with a free Al Biernat’s hat (while supplies last). Call 214-219-2201 (Oak Lawn) or 972-239-3400 (North Dallas) to reserve your table.

Make a reservation online.

Central Market Cooking School

Looking for something more experiential? Team up with Dad at Central Market’s Father’s Day grilling class.
