Whether it’s you or Dad doing the cooking this Father’s Day, here are our top Father’s Day BBQ recipes that will knock everyone’s socks off.

For the centerpiece, serve a better-than-steakhouse grilled ribeye with some whiskey BBQ sauce on the side. Then smoked potatoes or grilled baked potatoes and bacon-wrapped meatballs fill out the main meal. There’s even a recipe for smoked ice that will amp Dad’s favorite cocktail up to 11, and a BBQ ice cream cake that you have to see to believe. Can’t enjoy a meal with him this year? Also check out our top Father’s Day gift ideas because, let’s be honest, you can do better than buying him a tie!
