5 Alabama restaurants named after Dad for his big day

I don’t know about you, but Father’s Day is hard to nail down a gift idea. It seems like every dad either buys himself everything he wants as soon as the thought occurs or he has incredibly expensive, niche hobbies that buying a gift for would require thesis-level background knowledge.

I found myself at this crossroads, and in my struggle to find my dad a gift that wasn’t a $500 scuba diving watch, I uncovered these five restaurants in Alabama named after Dad. Maybe it’ll give you some ideas!
