Thanksgiving dinner might come from a barbecue restaurant.

Cooper’s Old-Time Pit Bar-B-Que in the Fort Worth Stockyards is selling a smoked turkey breast and side dishes for six ($62) and whole fruit or pecan cobblers ($32-$38).

Cooper’s, 301 Stockyards Blvd., has operated quietly for 10 years in the Stockyards. It has a big patio and room for social distancing.

The “Big Chop,” a double-cut pork chop, is the eye-catcher.

But don’t overlook the charcoaled rib-eyes on weekends.

The pre-Thanksgiving takeout menu also offers a turkey breast for $50 and larger pans of side dishes for $30.

(Cooper’s is not selling whole turkeys.)

Cooper’s is open for lunch and dinner daily; 817-626-6464, coopersbbqfortworth.com/menu.
