The Best Father's Day Lunch Ideas to Celebrate Dad

Sometimes more emphasis gets put on Mother’s Day, but we know that dads put in just as much effort into being the best parents they can be. Fathers work hard and still find time to play and teach their little ones. No matter what age you and your father are, a Father’s Day lunch is a great idea to celebrate dad. Here are our favorite ideas you and your whole family can enjoy.

Picnic Lunch

Father’s Day comes at a nice warm time of year, so if you’re lucky enough for the sun to be shining, it’s a perfect time for a family picnic. A picnic on the go is one of our favorite Father’s Day lunch ideas because you can take it anywhere outside your dad loves to be. That might be your own backyard, your dad’s favorite fishing spot, or a hike that ends with a magical overlook view. Sandwiches with chips and drinks make the perfect take-along meal. Make your own meal, or grab what you need from a local shop so everyone has a personalized sandwich. Hide cards and gifts for your father in the basket so you can surprise him when you get to your picnic spot!

BBQ Party

It’s almost summer so why not gear your Father’s Day lunch idea toward a summertime BBQ? Of course, you don’t want to put your dear old dad to work on the grill, so you’ll have to find someone else to assign the grilling duties. If you aren’t much of a grill master, just keep it simple with classic burgers and hotdogs. Make your BBQ party feel extra special by using Father’s Day table decor. Or strive for a simple summertime theme and explore our collection of summer party supplies. You’ll find beach, floral, tiki, and picnic-themed table decor.

Explore a Brewery

If your dad loves a good craft beer, consider a Father’s Day idea that takes you to eat lunch at a local brewery and enjoy a few cold ones while you view the brewery works. While you could bring your own Father’s Day table decor to the brewery to make a big deal over your dad, he might be the type of guy who gets embarrassed with a public show. Instead, you may want to try a simple, yet tasteful bunch of Father’s Day balloons tied to his chair. Most breweries offer branded beer glasses for sale which could make a nice gift and piece of memorabilia to remind him of a wonderful Father’s Day out with family.

Lunch and Bowling

Even if your dad doesn’t have his own bowling ball, bowling is still a great way to take your dad out and treat him for Father’s Day. Most bowling alleys have everything you need to satisfy him for lunch — food and beer. If you don’t want to go to a crowded bowling alley, steal this lunch idea. Set up a Father’s Day competition with backyard bowling or even bocce ball. Deck out your backyard with sports-themed party supplies and Father’s Day table decor.

A Party for All the Fathers

Are you a fairly new father yourself? Perhaps your friends have also followed suit into the brave new world of fatherhood. If that’s the case, this year could be the perfect year to throw a big party for all the dads you know and love. It’s a great opportunity to get your friends together with young children so the kids can play and the adults can have some quality time together. Take the pressure off meal prep by making it a potluck affair where everyone brings one dish to the party. The Ultimate Party Super Store has you covered with all the premium party decorations you’ll need to set the scene and make Father’s Day a big deal.

Plan Father’s Day Activities

If you’re throwing a Father’s Day party with an easy potluck menu, then you have plenty of time to plan some fun Father’s Day activities! Some of our favorite activity ideas for a Father’s Day lunch include backyard games. Think horseshoe, cornhole, and Kan Jam. Backyard games are a great way to relax and soak up some vitamin D with your Pa. Have some backup plans in case the weather takes a rainy turn for the worse. Break out the nostalgic board games and card games your father may have played with you when you were young.
