We’ve all been there — it’s your turn to host Thanksgiving and your kitchen confidence starts to quiver. Between work deadlines and holiday chaos, who has time to baste a bird or whip cream by hand? Fortunately, Fort Worth’s restaurant scene has your back. Whether you’re after a dine-in experience worthy of applause or a to-go meal that’ll convince your guests you spent all day cooking, here’s an alphabetical guide to some of the city’s best Thanksgiving options — from smoked turkey to prime rib, from pecan pie to pumpkin cheesecake.
