“Game, Surf, Steak: The Ultimate Father’s Day for DFW Dads Who Don’t Sit Still”

If your dad would rather dink and dive than sip tea on the patio… we’ve got your playbook.

Father’s Day is Sunday, June 16—and if your dad is like Mark Assaad, he’s already planning an early-morning workout, a late-afternoon wake surf session, and a competitive pickleball match that ends with both a handshake and humble brag.

At The Assaad Group, we know luxury isn’t just about what you have—it’s how you spend your time. So here’s your ultimate Father’s Day lineup for DFW dads who live life full-throttle.


1. Paddle First, Pancakes Later

📍 Chicken N Pickle – Grapevine

Start the day with spin serves and side slices. Book a morning court at Chicken N Pickle, where indoor and outdoor courts pair perfectly with a post-match brunch. Let Dad dominate—or try to—then celebrate with breakfast tacos and loaded tots under the patio misters.

👉 Book a Court – Chicken N Pickle Grapevine


2. Ride the Wake Like a Legend

📍 Lake Grapevine with DFW Surf

This is Mark’s real happy place—behind a boat, riding a wave, surrounded by family and high-fives. Book a private wake surfing session through DFW Surf and let Dad catch the perfect carve. Pro tip: bring a GoPro, and capture the wipeouts and the wins.

3. Midday Chill: Burgers, Cold Beers & Court Time

📍 Courtside Kitchen – Fort Worth

If you haven’t been, it’s the Soho House of pickleball: vibey, casual, competitive. Book an afternoon court and let Dad fuel up with a Courtside Burger and a local craft brew. This is the moment for mid-day flexing: “Still undefeated, kids.” Just smile and nod.

4. Rosebud Rising: Dinner Done Right

📍 Rosebud, Southlake Town Square

The new star of Southlake dining, Rosebud blends steakhouse chic with modern charm—think elevated Texas fare, craft cocktails, and just the right amount of swagger. Reserve early and treat Dad to dinner where ambiance and attitude meet. If you spot Mark there, say hi—he’ll be the one ordering the tomahawk.
