Father’s Day is all about steak,
The national chain steakhouses have doubled down on steak promotions this year, trying to grab a huge chunk of our spending money before we spend it on summer travel.
Houston-based Del Frisco’s Double Eagle alone has sent four marketing emails and social media posts, all touting its June 18-21 special: a wagyu New York strip from Australia topped with foie gras.
The ads don’t give the price: $129.
Not to be outdone, the Florida-based chain owner of Capital Grille, Eddie V’s and Ruth’s Chris has its own steak promotions, led by Capital Grille’s New York strip au poivre with a Courvoisier cream sauce ($65).
Capital Grille, Del Frisco’s and Ruth’s Chris are all in the 900 block of Houston Street.
But the busiest steakhouse is at the opposite end of downtown, where the Texas de Brazil churrasceria will open for lunch Father’s Day.

BIG STEAKS AND COWBOYS
Both of Fort Worth’s Texas steakhouse landmarks, Cattlemen’s Steak House and Reata Restaurant, will serve their weekly Sunday lunch and dinner menus.
At Cattlemen’s, still newish from its $3 million remodeling, the menu leads with a 2-pound porterhouse ($95) and loads of Western steakhouse character.
The menu starts with a pasta Bolognese for $24.95, but anyone can make a lunch out of the salad and tortilla soup for about $20. It’s at 2458 N. Main St.
Nearby, 97 West Kitchen & Bar at the Hotel Drover is another fine-dining cowboy steakhouse with a brunch menu and a solid dinner menu featuring a 36-ounce wagyu tomahawk rib-eye ($180). It’s at 200 Mule Alley Drive.
Also in the Stockyards, Lonesome Dove Western Bistro has a matching wagyu tomahawk rib-eye for $190.
But the signature steak for 25 years is the garlic-stuffed roast tenderloin ($62-$79). Lonesome Dove is at 2406 N. Main St.
In downtown, Reata’s brunch menu is a bargain every week, featuring a choice of nine dishes for about $17.
But I’m sure Dad can ask for the blackened bison rib-eye ($67) or 20-ounce bone-in rib-eye ($85). Reata is at 530 Throckmorton St. downtown, near the FIFA World Cup viewing on Sundance Square Plaza.
BARBECUE FOR DAD
For the same price as one of those big Stockyards steaks, Dad can enjoy the Terry Black’s Barbecue “BBQ Experience.”
For $150 each, two people get a tour of the pits, a platter of all five meats including brisket and beef ribs, all the sides, a dessert and a beer or wine.
Most important of all, the Experience includes a reserved table. No standing in line.
Reserve in advance at opentable.com. Terry Black’s Barbecue is at 2926 W. Seventh St.
