Zaxby's, Carvel, & More Are All Offering Fast Food Deals This Father's Day

Choosing the perfect gift for Father's Day can be tricky. Some dads are happy with a handmade card and an old standby like a new watch, while others would prefer the latest video game (and at least five hours of free time to break it in). But the great equalizer among all dads — and people in general — is food. If you're stuck on what to get your partner this Father's Day, head to one of these fast food places encouraging families to treat Dad to something tasty this Sunday, June 18.

This weekend, chains like Zaxby's, White Castle, and Carvel are giving families the perfect excuse to take their favorite father or father figure out for a quick bite to celebrate Father's Day. From freebies to deep discounts, your favorite fast food establishments are stepping up to offer Dad yummy meals and sweet treats on his special day.

Whether you're hitting the road for a Father's Day trip or planning on ordering in, you should take advantage of these deals while you can — especially if the father figure in your life always chooses fries over ties.
