im planning a trip to texas end of this year which will see us staying in Fort Worth for thanksgiving week. Can anyone tell me what happens on thanksgiving day - will restaurants be open, will they serve special menu's? has anyone else travelled over thanksgiving?

Although it's a National Holiday, many of the shopping facilities will be open, including many restaurants, especially in Big D and Ft. Worth.

Many of the "family style" restaurants will have the typical Thanksgiving fare... roast turkey, dressing, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes and gravy etc.,, and of course Pumpkin pie.

Keep and eye out for "Cracker Barrel" restaurants or "Shoney's" or "Perkins"... they're ubiquitos in the south and quite good for that kind of food... Welcome to the U.S. and Happy Thanksgiving!
