Restaurants and delivery services across the U.S. are leaning into Father's Day Deals just as the holiday lands Sunday, June 21. The offers range from free food to buy-one-get-one promotions, and several are timed to run through the weekend or into Monday.
The push comes as spending on the day is expected to hit a record $27.9 billion this year, about 16% above a year ago, even as consumer sentiment keeps slipping. The National Retail Federation's annual survey, conducted with Prosper Insights & Analytics, puts the average gift outlay at $227, up from $199 last year, with 55% of celebrators planning a special outing, 60% buying greeting cards and 58% choosing clothing.
Mike Snider compiled the list of promotions and said readers should still check local social media accounts for more offers. That matters because the deals are national in scope but often depend on participating locations, app use or loyalty status, which can change what a customer actually sees at checkout.
Some of the steepest discounts require a code or membership. Through Monday, June 22, Bojangles is offering a free Breakfast Combo when customers buy one, and the deal works online and in the app at participating locations with promo code FATHERSBOGO. People who download the app also get a free Bo's Chicken Sandwich. DashPass subscribers can choose from several buy one, get one free deals through Sunday, June 21, while 7NOW Delivery app users can save $10 on orders of $20 or more with promo code FORDAD. Through Sunday, June 21, JJ Rewards members can buy one Toasted Sandwich and get one free with promo code FAVECHILD, and the offer is available online and in the app.
Crumbl is taking a different route with a special Father's Day Bundl available through Saturday, June 20. It comes in Large and Mini sizes and in 6-packs or 12-packs, with the Everything But The Dad Jokes Cookie among the flavors. That cookie is made with M&M's, peanut butter chips and peanut butter-coated potato chips, then drizzled with milk chocolate. The timing leaves a narrow window for shoppers who want to pick up a dessert before Father's Day itself.
The holiday has been a formal fixture since President Richard Nixon made the third Sunday in June officially Father's Day in 1972, while President Woodrow Wilson made Mother's Day a national holiday in 1914. This year, the spending forecast says the day remains one of the country's biggest retail moments, even if the softer mood among consumers suggests many families will lean on deals to mark it. For readers, the practical next step is simple: check the app, check the code, and check the local listing before the holiday passes.
