FORT WORTH<\/p>\n

Father\u2019s Day is all about steak,<\/p>\n

The national chain steakhouses have doubled down on steak promotions this year, trying to grab a huge chunk of our spending money before we use it for summer travel.<\/p>\n

Houston-based Del Frisco\u2019s Double Eagle<\/a> alone has sent four marketing emails<\/a> and social media<\/a> posts, all touting its June 18-21 special: a wagyu New York strip from Australia topped with foie gras.<\/p>\n

The ads don\u2019t give the price: $129<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Not to be outdone, the Florida-based chain owner of Capital Grille<\/a>, Eddie V\u2019s and Ruth\u2019s Chris has its own steak promotions, led by Capital Grille\u2019s New York strip au poivre with a Courvoisier cream sauce ($65).<\/p>\n

Capital Grille, Del Frisco\u2019s and Ruth\u2019s Chris are all in the 900 block of Houston Street.<\/p>\n

But the busiest steakhouse is at the opposite end of downtown, where the Texas de Brazil churrascaria will open for lunch Father\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n

Both of Fort Worth\u2019s Texas steakhouse landmarks, Cattlemen\u2019s Steak House<\/a> and Reata Restaurant<\/a>, will serve their weekly Sunday lunch and dinner menus.<\/p>\n

At Cattlemen\u2019s, still newish from its $3 million remodeling, the menu leads with a 2-pound porterhouse ($95) and loads of Western steakhouse character.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s at 2458 N. Main St.<\/p>\n

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<\/a> ($180). It\u2019s at 200 Mule Alley Drive.<\/p>\n

Also in the Stockyards, Lonesome Dove Western Bistro has a matching wagyu tomahawk rib-eye<\/a> for $190.<\/p>\n

But the signature steak for 25 years is the garlic-stuffed roast tenderloin ($62-$79). Lonesome Dove is at 2406 N. Main St.<\/p>\n

In downtown, Reata\u2019s brunch menu is a bargain every week, featuring a choice of nine dishes for about $17.<\/p>\n

But I\u2019m 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.<\/p>\n

BARBECUE FOR DAD<\/p>\n

For the same price as one of those big Stockyards steaks, Dad can enjoy the Terry Black\u2019s Barbecue \u201cBBQ Experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Most important of all, the Experience includes a reserved table. No standing in line.<\/p>\n

Reserve in advance at opentable.com. Terry Black\u2019s Barbecue is at 2926 W. Seventh St.<\/p>\n
