Clean place with a great menu. Food came out pretty quick and in good portions I will stop in here again. read more

This place warrants 3 1/2 stars. It's perfectly okay, not great. Three of us went for lunch today at 11 (before it got busy). The service was very friendly but after our food was delivered we never saw the waitress again till she left the check. One person had the blackened tilapia lunch special, one had fish tacos and the other had meat loaf. We all rated the food 3 stars - or maybe 3 1/2. Flies seemed to be having a convention there! read more

Cotton patch use to my favorite but it's went downhill quickly. Service is slow , food was cold and without flavor. Service was rude. Went here for my birthday lunch with my folks. Very disappointed. read more

I went here the other night with my family and omg the waitress was insanely slow! She was nice and everything but we all (the four of us) finished our drinks before our dinner arrived and she never came to fill it up until we were close to finishing our dinner! We kept asking about the dinner rolls but she kept saying that "oh it's still being made". I get if they made a fresh batch but she told us as soon as we sat down that the bread should be out shortly because a fresh batch is being made. And to top it all off we had a salad with a HUGE piece of hair in it. And it was buried in the salad and we told the manager and she offered a free dish but she wouldn't let us speak. They never cleared our dirty dishes, they just let them pile up. If I could give them "no stars" I would. :/ read more

I've been to the Denison Cotton Patch many times. I don't have any complaints. The staff and management has always been helpful. I highly recommend it to others. read more

We loved this place! Wonderful cornbread muffins and rolls and the meat loaf was fabulous. Garlic mashed potatoes were hunky and delicious and the broccoli was done perfectly. Just upset these restaurants don't appear much south of Dallas! San Antonio needs one! read more

I came here with my friend group for my divorce party. Nothing says "happy divorce" like cotton patch country fried steak and fries. The girl cleaning the table next to me, Audrey, complimented me on my outfit. She was very nice and made sure I felt welcomed at this restaurant. Thank you Audrey. read more

I really like this location. Several months ago I came here when I had no place else to go and it was so comforting. It's one of those places that looking back on your experience you think, wow that was really good. Even though my personal food journal listed the chicken and dumplings as a do not get again. This time I ordered the chicken fried chicken and it was perfect. The garlic mashed potatoes are divine. And pros know that if you choose the cinnamon apples as your second side and save it for the end it becomes a little dessert. The Cotton Patch is a chain but this one really feels like a local joint. I've never seen a person in this restaurant with a scowl on their face. The seating area offers a lot of options for different sized groups, including small booths for two people. Everything is clean and the staff seem genuinely happy working there. I guess the best thing about the patch is their extensive menu which offers something for everybody. read more

This is not my first trip to #CottonPatch, it is however my last. History: All orders placed online and paid in advance with 20% or more tips. 1. First time here for car side pick up went very well and there were no issues at all. 2. Second trip: A little slow, but hey places get busy and it's really not a big deal. Food was good again and order was correct. Delivery person was nice and all was good. 3. Third trip: Waited until the time I was told my order would be ready, I was called and told they had no cornbread and asked if I wanted something substituted. 15 minutes later I called them to make sure I put that days' date on the order. 15 minutes after THAT, my order was finally delivered. Overall 45 minutes from time of notification call that I was in the parking lot, to delivery. This is starting to be an issue. 4. Fourth trip: Placed order online at 3:30, for 4:15 pick up. Went to the store and got done faster than planned, went to pick up my food. Arrived 30 prior to my scheduled time. Told the girl this when I reported my arrival. She said "food would be out as soon as it was ready". No problem....yet. 30 minutes later at my original time slot, still no food. Called and asked how I can process a refund for my delivery they can't seem to get done. "Hold on, I'll ask my manger"....He answers and gives his name, I neither remember nor care what it was. Told him I want a refund ASAP, he then tells my my food is ready and he can bring it right out AND process the refund. I said NO, I want my refund and that is all. He agrees and I leave. My question is if it was ready, then why was it not delivered? Would you allow a customer to sit in your place for over a half hour without delivering their food? Should I trust you, and your staff to not tamper with my food at this point? I go directly behind to Picante' Taco, place and order when I walk in, pay, get my order, drive home, and start eating....ALL in LESS time than I spent at #NeverAgainCottonPatch That kid should find something he is really good at, and do it! He SUCKS at managing a restaurant. I have seen several reviews online saying the same and it is clear that #CottonPatch does not care enough about their customers to FIRE him. This trend will not change in my opinion. #SkipTheLineMyAssTheySkippedTheFood #SkipTheCottonPatch #NeverAgain #NeedAManager #deletingMyAccount #YouAreFired! #RefundStillNotProcessed #FunnyYouChargeMeInSecondsRefundInDays....#DenisonTX #SkipTheLine read more

Cameron did a magnificent job! One of the most efficient servers I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. We had a party of 15 and he was able to keep our glasses full and meet any other needs of the table completely by himself. Good job Cotton Patch!!! read more

Visit here often. Waitress's are always very nice, food is good one of my favorite places to eat.

Cotton patch is awesome the people are friendly and the service is good . And the food is always hot and great. I go there a lot

Totally unexpected fair of choices for your meal. Me and my co-worker were seriously surprised by the menu and the food here! Not what you expect at all, and I mean that in a good way. Pot roast was off the chain and my tea was great. He had the salad and love it. The atmosphere is comfortable and the service is great. Recommended for the traveler, families, anyone looking for a good meal! read more

Clean, busy, excellent server, mismanaged dining experience. Arrived on a Saturday night at 6. Kayla did excellent job taking our order. About the time we thought the food would be coming out, the manager approaches and says sold out of chicken and dumplings, a staple of this place sold out at 6 o'clock. I had to order something else, the manager comes back and says they are sold out of ribs. So while looking for something else she comes back and says they found ribs. Our server then comes over and tells us that chicken and dumplings were sold out. Apparently no communication. I received the ribs they were fair. I received a few sorties but the whole experience will make me try somewhere else before returning there. read more

Southern food chain, so lots of fried food. Had a Cobb Salad with salmon, and it was decent. What really ruined our lunch was the Fox "News" regime propaganda channel right next to us, blaring out lies and nonsense. I mean, I understand that this is deep into redneck country but one would still expect management not to turn to such a controversial channel out of respect for more educated clientele traveling through Denison. Very disrespectful. read more

Very decent restaurant for a chain. The salad was ice cold, the food was hot and well prepared, there was plenty of food on our plates. We had the chicken fried steak and chicken fried chicken. Both were excellent. There was a great selection of sides - we were happy about that because we had spent a week of eating fried foods and were needing some broccoli and greens. Our waiter was very good and attentive. We enjoyed our meal. read more

Very nice chain dining room enjoyed the meatloaf with broccoli and rice casserole and a side of steamed broccoli the picture shows only one piece of broccoli left I already ate five of them it was so good good food average service however the server noticed that I was out of ice tea and had finished my meal so he offered to bring me a sweet tea to go very nice touch I appreciated that read more

Rudely asked to wear a mask from door, 4ft to table or my family could not enter. (2 of which are not of age recommended to wear m4ft to the table where I then take it off??? We left and we will not be back. Sadly this was our 1st time in and we're excited to try. read more

Showed up with a party of 12 on a Monday night (when the chicken fried steak dinners are on special) and waited less than five minutes to be seated. The chicken fried steak was just as it should be: well battered, smothered in gravy, huge and artery clogging. The kids loved their corn dogs and mac and cheese. Unfortunately, we had no room for dessert. read more

Fast, friendly service. I got the turkey club and it was good. Hubby got the triple cheeseburger with fries. His burger was good. All in all the food was good but nothing to rave about. read more

We routinely go to the Cotton Patch closer to our house in McKinney, and I would say the service and food was significantly better than we are used to, and we love the Cotton Patch down there. The girls in the to-go area (we are at the bar) we're simply fantastic. So big thanks to Lanie and Shelby for making this visit fantastic and wanted to mention that I think they are huge assets to your establishment. read more

The chicken fried steak was the worst I've ever had!!! The coating was about 75% of the order and it was fried so long it was stiff as a board. my wife had the maple chicken over rice and it was good. I asked 2 different servers to refill my drink and neither one did. read more

Great place to stop in the way to Dallas. Cute decor but even better food. Everything is fresh and home cooked. I highly recommend this place when traveling through the area. The chicken and dumplings taste just like Moms. read more

This was worth the stop for our road trip. Friendly, good service. The chicken fried steak was very good. Large portions and low prices

Stopped in for a quick bite while traveling. Best stop ever! Very clean and friendly. Quick service. We started with the quest and salsa. Then we had a Cobb salad and the tex-mex salad. The food was incredible. We will definitely stop here again. read more

Excellent and first time in a while I've gotten a steak that wasn't over cooked! Good job and tasted great! read more

We had a fresh out of the womb waitress.. so she was trying pretty hard to serve or large party. She was pleasant and well trained with a few minor kinks to work out. The food came out in a timely manor with cornbread and rolls to tie us over until then. I myself ordered chicken quesadillas which were well prepared and not lacking in ingredients. read more

My wife called to place an order and had her speech made fun of. Horrible people. I am thinking about getting a lawyer.

We placed an order online and when we arrived to pick it up, only half the order was ready and the employee seemed lost and confused. He finally figured out what he was doing and we paid, but we had to wait on the other half of the order which was a chicken sandwich and fresh fruit. When it was ready, the employee even looked inside the carry out container and bagged it. Once back at the hotel we discovered the order was wrong. Instead of fruit they had put fries. So one order was wrong and the other was cold from sitting on the counter for so long. Won't be going there again. read more

the food is usually very good but do not order delivery or pick up! every single time they miss something. they forgot to add everything or they give you the wrong order. I called in a pick up order and was told 'be ready in 22 minutes'. got there 40 minutes later, was not ready. waited another 20 minutes, they finally brought it out, no' we are sorry for the delay' nothing, just handed it to me. got it home and they gave us chicken fried steak instead of chicken friend chicken. Why do businesses think they don't need to use some kind of customer service? read more

did not give a loaded backed potato as requested called was very polite could have been as simple as a replacement but no was told they would give butter and sides to do it myself. Great food wish they would have just replaced it. Had receipt and food to take back wasn't enough to just replace it. read more

Let's start off with good things, the food was decent and warm. It took them almost an hour to get us at a table. Our waitress would leave and not come back with our things for long periods of time. My grandmother ordered 3 different things because they said they were "out". I came in at seven o clock and ended up leaving at nine. read more

We love the home cooking we get here. By far my favorite dine in place in Denison. Great Tea and chicken fried steak. Yum. Friendly staff!!! Also plus. Cristi read more

We decided to eat here because it was right across the street from our hotel. We decided to have the house salad, the grilled salmon with vegetables, and the salmon and Cesar salad. The food was delicious and our waitress was very sweet. She even sad down and chatted with us for a few minutes. We certainly would eat here again! read more

We haven't been here in a few years but I'm glad we decided to give it a try today. Fast friendly service and the food was delicious.

Dinner at the cotton patch was so delicious great food awesome service from Isabelle s awesome job young lady with most defineatly be back

I went to this restaurant at the recommendation of a friend. I am extremely disappointed. We went in, it was packed. There was an upfront waiting time of 30 minutes. By the time we finally received our check, the entire building had cleared out. That's how long it took. When we were finally seated, it took a good 15 minutes just for someone to take our order. It took another 10 just to get our drinks. The waitress warned us upfront that it was around a 30 minute wait time to get food. It took 20 minutes just to get our appetizer. It took an additional 30 just to get our dinner. Keep in mind, I ordered a grilled chicken Caesar salad. By the time we had finished our appetizer (some mediocre at best mozzarella sticks), our drinks were long gone. Did we get any refills in the time between appetizer and entree? No, no we did not. By the time we finally received our food, mine was TERRIBLE. There was a measly 4 pieces of cold grilled chicken on top (which cost an extra $5) and the entire salad was sopping wet. It was as if they had just rinsed the lettuce and hadn't spun it out. It was absolutely horrendous. There was what seemed to be like one tablespoon of Caesar dressing on this sopping excuse of a salad. I ate only the sad chicken out of the mess of wet lettuce. After I finished with the chicken, we received our first and only refills of our drinks. We both had peach teas. The first batch was fine, however they ran of syrup for the refills which made them unsweet and nasty. After we both finished our meals, we asked for the check. It took 15 minutes just to get the check. Keep in mind the entire restaurant had cleared out at this point. There were only 3 tables filled. After giving the waitress cash for the check, she took 5 minutes just to get back with the change. Overall, the service was as bad as the food. We will certainly not be back. read more

Great place to eat , we always enjoy going there . Love their grilled chicken ! Great staff and the food is great most of the time. one of my favorite restaurants in the Sherman-Denison area highly recommend read more

Delicious food and a friendly atmosphere. Very family friendly. Wait staff is very professional and they have clean bathrooms.

Really nice service and the food is good. Not great, not mind blowing, but not bad in any way. I'm not a big fan of chains, but this seems to be a solid choice. read more
