Kansas City Father’s Day meals & deals for 2019. And, yes, they include steak and BBQ
Father’s Day spending is expected to reach an all-time high of $16 billion this year, up from $15.3 billion in 2018, according to the National Retail Federation.
(Still, a previous survey found consumers had planned to spend $25 billion on mom this year. Sorry dads.)

About 47 percent of the consumers said they planned a special outing. So here’s a list of some of the area restaurants serving special Father’s Day meals and deals. Make sure you call for reservations.
