    Small, raw on the inside roll
    Catherine W.

    While I live in Denison, I normally frequent a different CPC while commuting. Tonight, I decided to stay closer to home and wish I hadn't. The chicken and dumplings was watery with no enough flavor to notice. I had to search for any sign of actual chicken. The baked squash was inedible and had a vinegar taste to it. The rolls were tiny, not what I'm used to from CPC and the inside was raw. Normally, I can always find something I like about a meal but not this time. Looks like I'll be driving 40+ miles to go to the Cotton Patch I normally visit.

    Maybe just for that day, all my dishes are more salty than we like. Unless this is how the local likes it. The prices are reasonable for food but the portion is small. Maybe fried food is a better choice here. The drinks are a bit higher than expected. A draft is $5. The restaurant is not packed, but still wait 30 minutes for our dishes.

    Driving through Texas stopped for late lunch. Cold weather calls for comfort food never been to this chain. They have a Lunch special $7.00 What who can do that !!!Smaller portions but still all the flavor. Tiki Hubby had to go with the chicken fried steak and loaded potato. When he could not decide between cream gravy or jalapeños creamy gravy nicest waitress in the world said no worries I will bring you both to try. I went with mix and match 1/2 and 1/2 soup, salad or sandwich. Had to try chicken and dumplings and 1/2 BLT. Food was cooked perfectly and very tasty. We had left overs for a later meal even though was told smaller portions. That amazing wait person I mentioned was Marissa, friendly, attentive, and very helpful.

The table in the side room already had food and every table that came in after us had already gotten their food. Poor management, poor service and lack of attention. Also, I noticed the person plating food in the back had no hair covering, no gloves, and kept touching her face while handling everyone's food. Sunday is a busy day, lots of groups some are large. The place should be staffed properly for the business and management should be walking the dining room making sure everything is moving along smoothly. 1 star is all you get, should be negative 5.

The bar is super cozy at night, and the holiday lights really add to the overall ambiance, cool vibes all around. I didn't stay to dine-in and ordered out instead, but I could easily see myself sitting here playing cards with friends. The pizza was VERY good, and the summertime berry salad was even better (now goes by Strawberry Pecan Salad). Two days later, my friends and I were hungry and couldn't stop thinking about this pizza and salad. So we ordered out again mid day. This time we got a full salad, added chicken, and asked for extra toppings and dressing. Definitely ask for extra, especially if you're sharing, because the normal amount isn't quite enough. I'm a culinary dietitian and meant to ask for their ranch recipe, but totally forgot. Ughhh!! So delicious though! There was a small mix-up with the second order and we had to drive back, but the customer service was great and it was no issue at all to fix. Highly recommend!!!

The food was even more fantastic than it was before. We started with the buratta which was sooo good. I had the chicken with asparagus and she had the salmon on risotto.

I visited on a Saturday evening for an early dinner with my parents and sister. (Side note for Dallas residents: If you're familiar with the Katy Trail, it's worth the drive to see where it all began. When the Katy railroad tracks were removed in Dallas, the trail was born. While Denison doesn't have a trail today, the original depot remains, and it's a lovely place to explore.) The atmosphere at Stafford House is calm and refined, with deep burgundy tones, and brown leather accents lending it a warm, intimate feel. Service was quick, friendly, and attentive. We started with the steak carpaccio appetizer, which was savory and full of flavor. For dinner, the ladies each had the Airline chicken with mushroom risotto, while my father and I ordered the lamb T-bones. I swapped the vegetable medley for sweet potato grits, which were decent but lacked any noticeable sweet potato flavor. Definitely put Stafford House on your must-visit list. It's a beautiful little spot for a quiet, intimate dinner. And don't miss their adjacent bar--it's equally charming and perfect for a pre- or post-dinner cocktai
