Cotton Patch Cafe - Rolls and Cornbread.....heaven! - American Near Me - Bryan, Texas

I've tried giving this place a chance, "oh maybe they are just having an off day" , "it's a busy night, it's not usually this slow of service", "maybe the waiter is a new hire". But time and time again , Cotton Patch Cafe continues to disappoint. Today was a prime example, we arrived at 7:10 asked for a table for 10, was told it would be 30 minutes. No problem, we waited and were seated promptly 30 minutes later. The waiter took our drink orders and we received them 5 minutes later. No problem with the service so far, pretty average and expected. It was at this time that the tables order was taken and "placed". 30 minutes pass and the waiter approached our table notifying us that the restaurant was out of chicken fried steaks and asked us to change our orders to accommodate. So we did, he comes out and notifies us that it's going to be 30 minutes for our food to be prepared. We asked that the order be canceled, we paid for the drinks and what we had actually been served and left the establishment. We had been seated close to an hour and all we had been served were rolls and our drinks. Granted I've had similar experiences in the past and never posted a review, this time it was too much. I figured with the amount of time Cotton Patch Cafe has been open in the Brazos Valley, that they would have their business running more efficiently. This was the last time I give them my business. read more

What a wretched and disappointing place. No one at our table enjoyed their food. Everything tasted like it had been stored in salt. Atmosphere was non-existent. I wouldn't eat there again if it was free. read more

COLD FOOD, SLOW SERVICE, WEAK MANAGER ON DUTY. Our table of six, and all surrounding tables were served cold food and experienced slow service. Took over an hour for our food to arrive and then it was so bad that no one could eat it. The manager came over, mumbled a few words about taking care of our ticket and walked off. However, we were still charged for the cold meals. We will NEVER visit a Cotton Patch again, NEVER. read more

about like an Applebees as far as the menu, a little bit of everything. I would call them a jack of all trades and a master of NONE.... prices weren't what I would call "high" but getting up there. Again, you are paying for atmosphere. If you want a shitty cheeseburger on the cheap, go to Burger King. I actually think Burger Kings are more expensive. service was great. I was reprimanded by the gf for leaving an excessive tip. read more

Pretty decent place, for what it is. Great fish tacos and south western salad. Friendly staff and quick service. Great spot for lunch! read more

It was a bad experience but with alright food. I came with a group of people and it took an hour for our waitress to even ask us our order. Then it took an hour and a half for 1/3 of my party to get food while the others waited another 30 min. But they had some hot waitresses @shelby. So it was Ight. ;). read more

It's was good but not rlly the food had not flavor to it. I suggest to come here only if u want unflavored food but the water is great I love it and the place is honestly a beautiful place for a family to go and eat dinner at. read more

Service is sub par...wishing it was like it was in humble location. But I can wish... Menu is written well, but food is not as tight and tasty like it used to be. Don't order the chicken fried steak...more fried than meat. But to each his own. Cheers if this review is proved wrong. read more

The food was excellent! The service was excellent! Our server, Cynthia was the best I've ever had. She really knows her stuff and takes her time to get to know her guests. She genuinely cares. My husband had the grilled cajun duo, I had the chicken and dumplings. For starters, we had the fried bacon and fried green tomatoes. I'm not sure if the food was excellent or if the attitude and caring of our server, Cynthia, made it so good! read more

Decent. I think Frank W. (reviewer below) said it best: "I would call them a jack of all trades and a master of NONE...." THe food is decent, the service was decent, however the view was pretty nice. We were there around sunset, and the building has windows all around the dining area. read more

I decided to order the Grilled Atlantic Salmon to support the restaurant during the COVID-19 disaster. I placed my order and they said 20-25 minutes. I arrived in about 6 minutes and they brought my food out. When I got home, the fish was not even cooked. I called and the girl who answered showed no concern and no apologies were made. I attempted to support the restaurant but it was clearly unappreciated. read more

We had the most amazing experience today here. Alysia was the sweetest she made us feel like we were the only table in the restaurant. We will definitely be coming back and hopefully have her as our waitress!! read more

Ate at this location last Friday. Only meal I had that day and a few hours later became violently ill nausea, vomiting and more. I had The tilapia. I am still getting over this awful experience. read more

We we're a party of six. I have. Crispy cotton salad and grilled shrimp. My order was completely wrong. Another cotton salad was wrong. The rest of the table was served their meal and it was correct. I waited 15 mins to get my wrong salad and I was so hungry at that point I just ate my wrong. About another 15 minutes the other salad came out. We're were all done eating at that point. We never had the opportunity to order desserts. We we're just rushed out. The two with the salad were very unhappy. read more

I ordered the 20 chicken strips for $20. The flavor was good and they were tender. HOWEVER, they were very small. More for like kids than anything. I could've spent that $20 at Popeyes and gotten more chicken on the Tuesday special. I'm very disappointed. read more

First time I've ever had a bad experience at any cotton patch. I hope it was just a bad night. Burned fried green tomatoes appetizer, they were going to bring a replacement but ended up comping them. Hamburger & chicken and dumplings were bland, steamed broccoli was cold, it wasn't ordered anyway . We didn't have time for them to redo the issues. Only prob with the service was he shouldn't have brought the burned appetizer out. read more

This is the place to eat if you want authintic Chicken Fried Steak. This is the place to come. The Mashed potatoes are very very good and the steamed broccoli is to die for. The Chicken Fried Chicken and the Tenders are also very good. The service is not that good and they could clean better. But the food makes up for it. read more

Our waiter said they were busy and they didn't have rolls and they would send us some fresh ones. Well 35 mins pass and 4 tables got there rolls maybe I'm wrong but they were all white and my mom and I are hispanic. So i had to call waiter after i finally seen him he disappeared the whole time to ask for the rolls and finally they came & they were delicious. But they're were 2 waitresses in the corner booth talking really loud counting money laughing and MAKING FUN OF PEOPLE!!! Come on now I worked as a waitress for 2 & a half yrs that is unacceptable behavior get your sh*t together man. Although the service sucked i left my 15% tip because our waiter appoligized for not being the best (in his words) because he was also running the bar. Bad experience WON'T be going again waste of my time! read more

Great service. Great food. Will definitely be going back. This was our first trip here as a family and they met all of our needs. Food came out in a timely manner, our drinks were never empty and the food was off the charts. Could not be happier with this place. read more

We have eaten here many times and always enjoyed our visit. But tonight was different. The floor was very dirty. Tables were covered in dirty dishes. No hot rolls. Lamps and walls were dirty and dusty. Artificial flowers were covered in dust. We will not be returning. read more

I was convinced to try the seafood combo and i was actually surprised. Both the shrimp and fish were good and you even get 2 sides in addition to the fries and hush pupies. read more

Even after being disappointed by Cotton Patch more than once, I still get optimistic when I look at the menu. The downhome Southern-style offerings appeal, but this place can't even stand up to Cracker Barrel. read more

Would have rated 5 star but took a friend to lunch and the special was King Ranch Chicken. It was so spicy the sauce was pink! Not edible for my friend. Need to mention that on the menu! read more

We have been coming here for a few years, so I figured it's time to write a review. The place is not fancy but it's always consistently good. It's a home cooking kind of place. The steaks, meatloaf, chicken tenders, and shrimp are always good. The veggie plate is good but the squash casserole sometimes comes out cold. I would recommend this place any time you don't have time to cook and want a good meal. The prices are very reasonable. read more

We love Cotton Patch. They have a great variety and great taste. Chicken Fried Steak is huge, bring a friend! The one on Rock Praire has better service but is more crowded. This one is always clean. Their lunch specials are the best. Great food out quickly. read more

First time here and it was amazing!!!! Had Gerardo as a server he was amazing and he was training someone at that! Super busy and got in didn't wait and food came out at a good time! read more

I went with a close friend of mine recently, first time experience. We were waiting for the next showing of 500 (Days of Summer) so we decided to drop by so I could see what Cotton Patch is made of. The waitress seats us in the booth furthest away from the entry and in equal distance away from the kitchen (I am pleased). We place in our order for the Spinach & Artichoke dip (I've made-from-scratch better); it's average. As we await, our complimentary bread and butter is placed in front of us. I was amazed--who offers old-fashioned dinner rolls like I remembered from my childhood at Owen's? We both ordered Chicken Tortilla soup; I am pretty sure that my friend and I had soup from the same pot, but she enjoyed hers (as in finished it completely...or maybe she was just hungry?) as I found it bland and disappointing (Ozona offers a much more satisfying cup of Tortilla Soup). I also ordered the Caesar salad with salmon (dressing on the side). Perhaps it was because of the grotesque soup and its unappetizing flavor, but I thoroughly enjoyed the mixture of cold crisp Romaine lettuce greens and a fillet of warm salmon (albeit slightly saltier than I would prefer). So yes, I give Cotton Patch Cafe my rating of "Meh. I've experienced better" as accurate, as well as honest in my own testimony. read more

My husband and I usually come here for lunch. We tried the cheese fries today! Delish! It isn't to busy the food is always hot and fresh. The service is good. Will be back soon! Thanks Cotton Patch! read more

Great service the waitress was very polite and made sure are glasses were full .. nice variety on the menu .. the place was busy but it didnt affect the service or time read more

The food here is ok. Neither the burger or fried shrimp were great, but simply ok. The service we received is what brought this up to three stars. read more

Slow service, average food. It took far too long for our order to come. Whoever had put together my son's burger just smashed the bun on. Mash, macaroni, green beans, and okra were all so generic, nothing special. Even paying for our meal took ages. They were hardly busy. My kid is happy with his oreo. Skip eating here. read more

We had an experience where we ordered fried shrimp and it really intrigued us when we were given tartar sauce that was empty and appeared to be used. When presenting it to the server, we asked, did we get used tartar sauce? He stumbled around and told us that the New General Manager said that to save money, they're not giving a full container. Then the waitress said a Completely different story. She claimed that the new girl that fills them just didn't know what she was doing...at this point, I'll leave it up to you to decide whether, or not it was used containers taken off someone else's plates. They even had crinkled in sides on the plastic containers. read more

Fast, friendly service. Tiny disconnect on ordering "the Special" (came with 1 side) vs the normal entree (2 sides). Good food, good portions. read more

Always great food and great service! Even when it's a full house, the food came out in a timely manner.

This was our first time at cotton patch and it was surprisingly pleasant. We were welcomed warmly by some servers and immediately escorted to a table. Our waitress was the sweetest lady, the pinnacle of food service. She was kind, polite and managed to not only correctly receive my complicated order but did it with a warm smile. The food came out in a timely manner and was wonderfully hot. Whenever our glasses were reaching empty she quickly refilled them. Y'all should definitely try the strawberry pecan salad because its delicious! The food was tasty and well worth coming again. The pricing is also fair so you get your bang for your buck (especially on Monday nights when they have their special for chicken fried chicken and steak). Overall a tasty and happy experience, we'll be definitely be coming back. Oh and in case you wanna ensure a nice experience our waitress's name is Ashley. read more

Best chicken fried steak in anywhere remotely close. All sides are good, recommend mushrooms and veggies. lower end of the $$ price range if coming from Hwy6 northbound, make sure you exit the hwy earlier much earlier. read more

The food was absolutely delicious. I would recommend the pork chops. They were lean, tender, and seasoned very well. The service was a little slow and there was hardly anyone in the restaurant at the time. But I would definitely go here again! I want to try the entire menu! read more

Great, food and service chicken fried chicken, mash potatoes and green beans. Had the fried macaroni sticks for appetizer. Awesome food, so full. read more

Wasn't to thrill about the fried green tomatoes or the shrimp basket. They were cold when they came out and the waiter was stand offish.
