Do not support the College Station location. Not only is their food below average, but the "management" is extremely unprofessional. They mistreat/overwork their employees, fire them without notification, allow a non manager to control the schedule, among many other things like not caring that there is a pandemic going on. It's to the point where the employees should unionize and push for reformation. Don't give your money towards really subpar fried food from a corrupt company. read more

Hostesses are confused and flustered. NO CUSTOMER SERVICE! Manager likes to your face trying to cover up hostesses mistakes and is no help. WORST front staff & manager I have ever encountered. I really wish restaurants still believed in customer service. read more

Worst place I've ever been too. Waited 30 minutes for our waitress to tell us that they messed up on our order. 15 minutes later still nothing. So we left. The manager never came out to apologize for the inconvenience. read more

If you want amazing service and warm, home cooked food, look no further! My waitress, Danielle was amazing and tended to my every need. Love this location! read more

Chicken and Dumplings Luke warm, soggy fries and stale old tasting okra. Service so-so. Will not come back. Piss poor meal for Sunday after lunch. read more

My only complaint was the pepper gravy. A little too thin for my liking. But everything thing else was on spot. read more

Cotton Patch Cafe - American Near Me - College Station, Texas

See Mikey's review, below. Ditto for us today at lunch. Sat at our table for 10-15 minutes, multiple waitresses walked by, no one spoke to us, let along took our order or even drink order. Got up and left with multiple waitresses watching, but none seemed to care. Perhaps we were invisible. Won't be back. p.s. it was not very busy, either. read more

Just not good, I like the mashed potatoes but really couldn't eat the chicken, there was just something weird about it

Went and had the crispy chicken salad. The lettuce is always crisp and cool, and ingredients fresh. The waitress was awesome, and very attentive. read more

I actually don't mind the food. It's just way too greasy and I'm on a bit of a health kick. The corn bread is great but the menu is too typical of chain restaurants and the food drips grease......for some people this is a must, and I agree when it comes to burgers.....not meatloaf. This is home cooking gone corporate. Like Cracker Barrel. Okay for when you are on the road in a town you don't know and need something to put in the tank.....but if you want home cooking texas style, you can't go corporate. read more

Good food, incredibly horrible service!! We come frequently but the service is getting worse and worse. Come in, there are maybe 8 tables and 6 servers. Took 10 minutes to get greeted and that was after we asked for a server. He was unfriendly and with a lackadaisical attitude. Took our order and returned 7 min later to say they were out of one of the dishes we ordered. My husbands salad came out not as ordered so had to wait on chicken. Overall not impressed with the service or place any longer. The Bryan location is run much better so will be going to that location, if we return. read more

My husband and I have tried this restaurant in Bryan twice before COVID ever came about. Our first visit it took a waitress 25 minutes to even see that we were there before addressing us. She brought us some water, but never brought the rolls. We sat there another 15 minutes without ordering and still no rolls. We finally walked out. Second time, my husband ordered the grilled pork chop plate and his food was cold and so tough, he couldn't eat it and again, very slow service. Well, it's been a year since we're decided to try it one more time. We went today after church and walked up to the attendant. She asked us how many and I told her two. My husband returned from the restroom and she immediately told us it would now be a 30 minute wait. We saw empty available tables that were NOT unused due to COVID. My Husband just told her no thank you and we left. Sad, but we will never return again. read more

This was a great place to eat . We ate there night before last , what a let down. My french fries were cold and soggy and my wife's bake Potato was cold with a large hole in it. Our shrimp was old only lukewarm and appeared to be very old. There was so much noise coming from the kitchen ( laughing loud voices very non professional ) we could not enjoy our meal even if we're good. Good by COTTON PATCH !! read more

Very friendly service. Quick and clean. Food was good. Cobb salad was plenty of food!! Drake was very nice and helpful with menu choices.

Very enjoyable comfort food. Wide variety on the menu. Everything from big entree salads to classic Chicken Fried Steak.

The bread here is very good, the butter included is unique and enjoyable. I always get the tropical meatloaf and find it to be well worth the price. Combine this with the mac and cheese, rice and mashed potatoes and you have something that you will dream about every time hunger comes about. Quality ingredients that taste like they were made from scratch. Great food and service! read more

Got a order today from online. Haven't had Cotton Patch in forever and man it was amazing! Had friendly staff during my time paying for the order, and they seemed happy. Always nice to see someone else with a smile on their face. Got a Bacon Burger for like 8 to 9.99 (somewhere in there) and it was DEFINITELY worth its price. It was SO delicious. Keep up the good work you guys! read more

I went in and had lunch and had the patch salad,it is is my fav, very crisp and cold. Service staff is always friendly and now a truck give away. Will have to visit more often. read more

I am updating my review for only one reason and that is the exceptional service we recevied here last week. Our server was fantastic...enthusiastic and attentive. She was without a doubt one of the best servers I personally have ever had. It had been a very long week, spent with a family member in the hospital and I was beat so I really appreciated her enthusiasm. read more

Recently had my first visit here after not knowing where else to go and I wasn't expecting much, but it was great. Fast service, great fried pickles, and a great atmosphere what else could you want. I greatly recommend it if you are looking for somewhere to have a nice meal that feels like home. read more

my server was great, but the food took forever to come out and I could just notice obvi things that where wrong. The entire time I wonder where is the manager and then when I saw how she acted I said to myself "that makes sense" read more

I live not far from Cotton Patch, and it is an easy choice for a quick dinner out. My boyfriend thinks the chicken fried steak is one of the best he's had. I generally go out here when I am in the mood for a burger or chicken tenders and french fries, and they certainly don't disappoint. read more

The waitress was very nice, but this place is over rated. We waited way too long for a bowl of soup and a salad. I specifically asked if the chicken in the salad would be warm and she said yes. When we finally got our food, I took a bite only to find the chicken ice cold, right out of the fridge. My husband's soup hardly had any veggies in it. We can barely say the food was ok, very disappointing. They have a captive market because of the college so I guess they do not have to try very hard. Since my original review, Marissa Kelley from the restaurant contacted me. She was ever so sorry for our awful experience, offered to refund our money after I told her we do not live in College Station. What a joke. I gave her our credit card info on the phone after several email exchanges. She assured me she would give us credit that very evening . Two weeks have passed , no credit and no responses to my emails advising her that we are still waiting. They are so quick to charge the credit cards but cannot get around to reimbursement. The food was lousy and the service way too slow . I would rather starve to death than ever enter their restaurant again. read more

The service here was amazing! Food was hot and came out in a timely manner. And to top it off, our server Leah was attentive and on the ball! 10/10!! read more

I came here the other day to get something to eat, my server Leah did such a wonderful job! What she didn't know was I was having a horrible day and her genuine smile and very friendly customer service made my day! I will be returning just because of her. Keep up the good work! read more

Ok, you know what? F*** y'all. So after the manager's note apologizing for running out of turkey around lunchtime, I decided to try to go back there today only to be told they "stopped having turkey and dressing a couple of weeks ago" because they "can't get turkey anymore"....right...because turkeys are suddenly extinct now and no more exist in the world. That's it. I've had it with you f****rs now. You can go on doing this kind of bull**** with other people, but I am not falling for it anymore. Goodbye and good riddance. Revised from 1 to 3 stars because the manager did make a valiant attempt to blame the shortage on bird flu...further research found that the actual, true reason is likely not because they "can't" buy turkey, but rather because it would reduce their profit margin to have to buy it right now...even though there are still millions and millions of "safe" turkeys available right now in the US. Still am not going there again. read more

Loved our food! The meatloaf, chicken fried steak and squash casserole were fabulous! More than that, our server, Kriston, was so positive, cheerful and attentive! Be sure to ask for Kriston! read more

Great home cooked food! Wonderful atmosphere! Great service! I have gone here several times when passing through the BCS area and I will continue to go back each time!!!!! read more

This quaint little cafe is a spot my grandmother and I enjoy together when I visit for long weeks. Recently, I went here with my father while we were up in College Station. I rave on & on about the wide selection of food choices to family members quite frequently, for Cotton Patch certainly has many. From ordering salmon and steak fingers in the past, I chose chicken & dumplings this time. The comfort from a warm, brothy soup with hardy fillings sounded delightful. Our very young attendant was patient with us, especially when my dad was blanking on what to order. The time we went was empty, but I've seen this family-friendly joint bustling with business in the past. When our food came out, I was pleased with presentation. I had a good-sized serving. The dumplings were a great texture, alongside the moist & succulent chicken was a perfect pairing. Flavorful broth with green pepper pieces hidden throughout. Yum! read more

Meh, at best. Not truly terrible but also nothing that felt like a "wow" moment. I've definitely had better, but I've also had much worse. If you find yourself in a random or desperate need for food, you'll be ok here, but if you want to try a "yummy, anything here is awesome" place, this isn't it. read more

I came today at lunchtime. I had pot roast with corn and macaroni and cheese. The pot roast was tender and tasty although a little salty. A friend of mine had the salmon, for $14 he got a piece the size of the iPhone four. He was not impressed although he did say it was quite good. I continue to be less than impressed with the service. Our waiter was either in competent or in training or possibly both. read more

I've dined here twice now and both times have been impressed with the food. It's an upscale version of Applebee's or Chili's in my opinion. I ordered the Tex Mex salad and I will definitely be ordering it again. The salads are huge serving sizes and have a lot of flavor. The service was okay--both times the waitresses were very friendly but not always very attentive to the water glasses. I will most definitely be back! read more

Three of our party of four got food poisoning. Called the manager to express our concern and were completely blown off. The service was non existent, but that pales in comparison to the obvious lack of proper food prep and "oh well" attitude of the manager. DO NOT EAT HERE!! read more

Love this location. Hardly ever a wait. Had great servers. Never had a bad meal and it's afforadle!! Sign up for their online club and get coupons on top of it all!! read more

I have only been there once.... And never again. The mac&cheese tasted like the microwaveable kind.... Food was simple and boring...

It's always good! My server was fine as fk!!! Food is good, not a long wait! Left happy with a full stomach

I visited college station to meet some colleagues. I was thoroughly impressed with our waitress Hailey P who went above and beyond by providing us with details about the food and helping me find something I would enjoy. It was all and all a great experience! Definitely will be back! read more

Thank you so much for a great experience, I wanted to impress my "Yankee" friends with some southern soul food and the cotton patch did not disappoint! Thanks again to Haley P for the exceptional service! read more

My husband and I with our two small kids went to lunch today. The food was good and served quickly. The service was also great. We'll go back again. read more

We went here for dinner and it was a terrible. We ordered and I repeated what I wanted twice just to be sure the waitress heard me since it seemed like she wasn't really paying attention. The food took forever. My boyfriend got his food 25 minutes after we ordered(and all he order was a salad. He started eating his food and it took the waitress 10-15 minutes after he started eating to bring me my "food." As soon as the waitress sat my plate down, I knew it was wrong. I hate seafood and what was put in front of me? Seafood. I immediately got upset because it took them so long to bring me my food and then I had to wait for them to make the correct thing. It took them 30 minutes to finally bring me the correct plate. The waitress came back with the check and the to go boxes that we asked for. We looked at the check and it was $50 we normally don't have a problem with paying $50 but we didn't even order appetizers. We then noticed that she tried to charge us for the mistake she made for food we did not even eat(which was 17.99.) She said that she would fix it and so my boyfriend handed her his card. She brings the receipt and the card back and walks away. She didn't even charge him so we had to wait another 5 minutes for her to come back around so that we could pay. It's not like we were going to eat late. We were there for 1.5 hours for a dinner that usually takes us 45 minutes.This whole visit made us miss running our errands (since everything closed early due to Covid) and was a complete waste of our time. Now we have to drive back to the other side of town(25minutes away) on a different day to run our errands. We will not be going back to this location because of this. read more
