Dads are a tricky bunch to thank. What do you get them? A card? Socks? A firm handshake? While those are good options, how about you treat him to a darn good steak instead? [Image credit: iStock.com/Lisovskaya]
If the name alone doesn’t scream “Dad,” the menu certainly will – it has an entire page dedicated to steaks. A whole page! Oh, and sauces and sides and surf options and, oh God, your mouth is watering. There’s no shortage of beer and hard liquor, either. Plus, your dad will feel right at home with the cozy atmosphere, complete with a fireplace.
Well-known for its oyster-shucking (a buck a shuck most of the week), Vons also makes a mean steak anyway you like it, with a reasonable variety of cuts and abundance of sides. Oh, and to help the conversation along, there’s a swath of drinks, including a bacon caesar. That counts as a vegetable, right?
Your dad put a little bit of work into you, so why not put a little work into his steak? Even if he’s picky about his cuts, ACME will make it happen. Warm up the barbecue, then swing by and grab a nice striploin, rib eye, rib steak or – well, seriously, there’s so much to choose from, why not just stop by? There’s a reason everyone in town raves about ACME.
Yeah, it ain’t cheap, but neither was raising your ungrateful butt (or so I’m told). With great service and no shortage of melt-in-your-mouth cuts, this chain has been a favourite of dads and salesmen impressing clients for years. Just a heads up, though: Book ahead.
Treat your dad to some local awesomeness, with food sourced from farms within a reasonable distance of Edmonton. The menu constantly changes, but you can always rely on quality, original concoctions with flavours that reflect just how darn fresh everything is. And, the drinks? There’s enough beer and hard liquor combos to make the old man happy. It’s “Range” Road, by the way, not “Rage.”
