Planning a Father’s Day BBQ, picnic, or family dinner party for Dad? The Tuxedos & Tennis Shoes team is here to help you make your celebration extra special with flavor-packed, chef-crafted bites from the Summer Menu!
We sat down to chat about this year's Father’s Day with Reed Haggerty, DSquared’s COO and the eldest son of co-founder David Haggerty. Reed and his lovely wife Amanda have two kids together–their youngest is just four and a half months old! We asked Reed to build his dream Father’s Day menu with affordable, mouth-watering bites from our Summer Menu.
Here’s what made Reed’s list:
Hawaiian Spam Slider
Kimchi & Grilled Pineapple
A unique, bold, and delicious take on the classic slider, Reed is a huge fan of this unconventional bite.

Crab Cakes
Lemon Huckleberry Jam
Our signature crab cakes with a bright, tangy twist. Reed says these are a non-negotiable appetizer for Father’s Day.
✨Tuxedos Tip: Serve on stunning slate and wood boards from Grand Event Rentals!
Blackened Shrimp Salad Bun
Lettuce, Tomato, Cajun Roumolade
This seasonal, refreshing roll is the perfect addition to your Father’s Day spread. Important: Reed insists that these “must be served cold!”
👟Tennis Shoes Tip: Serve on the perfect chilled serving trays from Amazon!
Brandywine Tomato Gazpacho
Chervil Crema
Even Reed, who admits he’s “not a soup guy”, can’t resist our gazpachos! This creamy, chilled shooter is one of his all time favorites.
✨Tuxedos Tip: Rent stunning shooter glasses from our friends at CORT Party Rental to impress Dad, family, and friends!
We didn’t forget about the kiddos (and non-drinkers) celebrating Dad! These yummy mocktails are festive, fun, and family-friendly.
Here are some of our favorites:
Pineapple Oasis
Caramelized Pineapple Shrub, Pineapple Juice, Coconut Water, Lime Juice, Pineapple Frond.
A bright and summery mocktail to cool down on a warm June day!
Mint Basil Limeade
Lime Juice, Mint-Basil Syrup, and Club Soda, Lime Wheel, Basil Leaf
Spa-like and refreshing, this mocktail is a crowd favorite.
✨Tuxedos Tip: Enlist our bar service team to handle the cocktail (and mocktail) making if you’re planning a larger gathering!
PB&J Bar
The PB&J Bar, a Tuxedos & Tennis Shoes classic (and Reed’s go-to treat), is a must have on Father’s Day! This elevated twist on a childhood favorite delivers nostalgic flavor in every bite.
