McDonald's offers free breakfast for dads this Father's Day

McDonald’s thinks a delicious morning entrée will be the perfect Father’s Day gift, so they're inviting local fathers to enjoy and celebrate their day of honor on June 16, 2013, during their breakfast service hours.

From 5:30-10:30 a.m., fathers can head to any of the 191 McDonald’s locations across the Tampa Bay area for a free meal. Restaurant reps say no purchase is required, but fathers must be accompanied by a child, and there is a limit of one free offer per customer.

Last year, over 8,800 local fathers celebrated their morning with a complimentary meal.
