Food was decent. Really salty, but it happens. Store was clean. Happy faces on the staff. The reason I needed to leave a review is because somehow our waitress got lost at times and another had to step in. So, if you go, be sure to ask to be seated in Lynessa's section. She had her own tables to worry about, but was happy to serve us in our server's absence. We didn't even have to ask. She saw and was very attentive, consistently. I give the restaurant three stars due to the over-saltiness of the food. I give Lynessa FIVE STARS because she's fantastic. I give our original server... a suggestion: Do better. read more

It pains me to write this, because we live locally and have been to this location numerous times over the years. Our last visit was terrible. We should have left when we were seated and walked past several unbussed tables, food and napkins on the floor and were sat at a table that had been bussed, but not wiped down. We could see the kitchen floor and it was a greasy mess as well. Things did not get better once we ordered. Several sides were not available as were 2 choices of salad dressings. There were so many unbussed tables, that they ran out of dishes and our food got cold waiting for them. I watched both managers, servers and greeters continuously walk over the dirty floor, past dirty tables and doing nothing. When we left, 3 staff we at the greeters stand staring a their phones...and the place was still a mess. Sadly, this was on Mother's Day with my wife and our 4 girls...none of which will ever return to this location until there are major improvements. We spoke with the manager and she acknowledged the situation...but nothing was done about it. In full disclosure, we got 25% off our bill. But I'm just glad nobody got sick. Cotton Patch you are better than this! read more

We will not be going back here for a while. We got seated at 8:25 after a 45 minute wait in a near empty restaurant. It took 30 minutes to get our drinks and appetizer and another 15 minutes to get refills and our food. We practically hunted down our waitress for everything, to include the check so that we could finally leave just before 10pm as the last of two seated tables. There were plenty of young wait staff hanging out, which probably should be working in retail so they can better socialize. read more

There are a lot of fried and grilled options, but my mom and I were both in the mood for salads so we got the bbq and Cobb salads. They were both decent with large portions. The fried chicken in my salad was seasoned well and the bbq sauce was a nice touch. The waitress was friendly and very prompt. My only complaint was that the portion of the mama's butter cake that was edible was delicious, but about half of the cake was a dense crust that I couldn't even break apart with my fork, which was disappointing. Nothing really stood out, but good experience overall. read more

Time 12:30 P.M. on Tuesday 4/13/21. About 10 customers in restaurant. No one in line. Waited about 5 minutes for someone to seat us (party of 3). Finally we are seated and server takes our beverage order. We wait and wait. After about ten minutes or so we leave and go next door to Fish City Grill. Additional comments: My menu was all sticky, a real turnoff. Our very first visit to Cotton Patch. If the restaurant was very busy I might understand the long waits but it was not. We all wanted to like this place, disappointing! read more

Had a great dinner at Cotton Patch Cafe with family. Had the Chicken Caesar salad with macaroni. My waitress, Isabella, did a fantastic job. She brought our food out quickly and answered every question we had. We will be coming back soon! read more

Stood at the hostess table for 15 minutes. 5 employees walked by without even acknowledging my party. We got tired of it so we left. Can't comment on the food but customer service is non-existent. read more

They literally stole our money and said there's nothing they can do about it. We ordered food to go directly through the cotton patch website , added 2 orders of the cornbread , picked up our food and realized there's no cornbread once we were home.. We called the restaurant for a refund because we just didn't want to drive all the way back. They told us THEY DONT SELL CORNBREAD ANYMORE?? Then... they don't do refunds?? Oh hell no. This is the worst place, food, service, everything was terrible. Ridiculous they would charge us for cornbread and 1. Don't give us cornbread and 2. Don't give our money back for the food they don't have. So you're just going to take money from people? Y'all suck. read more

Food is always Goode, but the servers make the extra difference in the experience. Big shout out to Isabella, always serving with a smile no matter how many times we ask for something else to be brought to the table. Ask for her on your next visit! read more

Amazing service. Harper was very attentive and accommodating. The food was very fresh. An entire half an avocado on my chicken avocado sandwich. I didn't have to wait for anything. The chicken was cooked well and juicy. read more

My family's 3rd visit. Last night, Sunday the 29th, had to be a fluke. Service sucked, the food was put together hastily, without any love. 20 minutes to get a drink order, 40 minutes for bread, 1 hour for my salad, and another 30 minutes for the meals. The manager said that they ran out of just about everything because of the Poppy festival and offered us 20% off of our bill. Sounds like poor management being made worse by under trained wait staff that do not know what to say or do in a case like this. Some of order was righ, some wrong, drinks sat empty too long. Probably be awhile before we try Cotton Patch again. Management- F Wait staff- C- Food- C read more

Ordered on-line and the order was 30 minutes later than promised. Ordered two chicken fried steaks, both of which were dry. I had to wait longer because one of the chicken fried steaks was late getting off the line. Entire order was not correct, and the portions are small. read more

Wow what a BIG disappointment. Called last night for pick up and the first sign was the lady on the phone was rude I should of just hung up and went else where but this was a celebration that was wanted for something new. Got to pick up food and it was dead and took them 8 mins to help me with only about 10 people sitting down. Got food, sodas we're made already so those were watered down already. Got home and food was soggy cold and my shrimp tasted like it was deep fried in nasty old grease. My husband got a chicken quesadilla with no salsa or pico and of course it had those. We threw away all our food. I would do yourself a BIG favor and just stay away at all cost. Unless you wanna waisted 30$ or more. read more

This place is a joke probably the worst restaurant I've ever been to first of all we came in on a Friday afternoon around 5pm and the place was empty just a few people eating that's when I should have ran But no I said let's try it. The waiter took us all the way to the rear of the restaurant to a booth located near the bathroom I said we are all the way in the back don't forget about us and as quick as he could answer he laughed and said last time I did that it was my first day on the job, we ordered our food my wife's salad came with no dressing we asked for dressing and waited and waited and finally got the dressing we ordered two steak dinners one medium and one medium well one was cooked medium the other was cooked well done I ordered soup it came with the meal instead of before the meal and that was the last time we seen our waiter until I seen another waitress walking through the restaurant I waved her down like I was on the side of the road needing help at a bad accident because this was a complete train wreck we never got refills on our drinks The waiter never came back and asked us how our food was and I had to flag somebody else down to get our check I would highly recommend never going to this place read more

The waiter was great, his name was Sebastian. The 1 star was for the food. I had to cancel my appetizer because it took nearly 20 minutes to come out. I got the new chicken Parmesan. The noodles were dry, hard, and looked days old. I couldn't even eat them nevertheless feed them to my kid. My son got the chicken tenders and there was no chicken only the crust from the fryer. A waste of time going to eat there. Don't recommend it to anyone. read more

Always slow service - food was ok. Empty glasses - slow refills - lukewarm food. Really like Cotton Parch but this one needs work.

Food has been horrible both times. Not sure why we even gave it a second chance. We ordered two slices of cake. You might wonder how can you mess up dessert.. well they managed to. It smelled and tasted horribly freezer burnt. We will never be back. read more

I'm not sure why but this location and the service was pretty bad. When my bf and I got to the restaurant there were three host at the host stand, and none of them greeted us, and it was actually very awkward. I didn't feel welcomed at all, it was very uncomfortable. They asked how many we had and took us to our table, and said nothing else. Mind you, they were very young, looked like teens but could be in their early 20s. I'm not sure why maybe improper training? But when I was their age I was excited to work and be good at my job, but that's just me I guess. The waitress seemed more interested in chatting with the host vs being attentive to us. She mentioned she was a new waitress, so I can give her that. But I now understand why the restaurant was empty when we got there. Not coming back to this location. read more

Went here for my niece's B-day because she lives this place. Unfortunately, it wasn't the best experience. We had a larger party (12people) and I think our waitress was inexperienced. The food was good the problem was they didn't bring all of our food at the same time half of our table got their food and the other half waited another 15 minutes before their food was brought to the table, after asking the waitress multiple times when our food was coming. The waitress never informed the manager of the problem and proceeded to tell us "it was beyond her control and she would make it right." Even after the rest of the table received their food we still had one person that had to wait an additional 10min for their plate. At the end of the meal the waitress brought our tickets and did not bother to discount anything for the poor experience. I had to ask for the manager at this point. I have this place 3 stars because the manager did try to make the situation right. Here gave us a total of$40 dollars off or tickets and as far as the food goes, it was hot and tasted good! read more

Even though they were obviously short staffed on a Saturday evening, the staff was working hard to please. The food came promptly, and it was very good. We both had salmon and thought it was delicious. The rolls were hot, right out of the oven. We will come by again! read more

Based on a few great reviews and reviewing the menu (seeing some new dishes) we gave this place a try. Won't do it again. Bread is no longer given unless requested. Queso was old and didn't really taste like queso. Tried pecan encrusted catfish. Very uneventful! The only things going for this place was the water and fried pickles. Someone from corporate really needs to review operations and decide if they should stay open! read more

Noah and Elise helped make us comfortable tonight. We got to talking with Noah about Alice in Wonderland while browsing to choose some of the winners from the menu. We got the fish tacos and the grilled chicken hatch salad. Our drinks were kept filled and we felt right at home. The atmosphere is cozy and quaint with plenty of comfort food choices on the menu. The booth was clean and just the right dimensions for couple of ladies on a night out. The outdoor area is spacious with a good view and there is an interesting sculpture to greet you at the door. The portions are reasonably sized and filling. For a midweek visit, the restaurant was fairly busy, but still clean and friendly. For our sweet finish, Noah recommended the butter cake. If you love yourself, you'll try it too. While we wrapped up our to-go boxes, we mused with Elise over Sherlock and Harry Potter and lots of other things. We've decided we need to bring our whole crew of girlfriends to visit -- especially if either Noah and/or Elise will be there. We left with full bellies and high spirits. Thanks to that duo for making our night excellent! read more

See all

We tried this place out Sunday night, 04/30. The place seemed nice and full. It didn't take too long to get a table; however, thats about all that went right. We waited almost 40 minutes to get our food, and then most of it came out cold. We had: Chicken and dumplings, which were barely warm with cold mashed potatoes. One fork pot roast. The pot roast was cold as well as the mashed potatoes on this plate. Chicken fried chicken. The mac and cheese was cold. BLT. The fries were cold. We might give this place another shot in the future. The menu had a good selection. Maybe this was just a bad night as we observed other tables asking to speak to a manger and saw one table send their food back because it was wrong. Maybe next time. read more

Really wanted to like this place. I ordered curbside and my order was ready when it said it would be ready. The problem was my food was cold. I was even there a couple minutes early and was told they were still getting it ready, so I expected hot food. There was no cocktail sauce even though it was clearly stated on my receipt "cocktail". I'm guessing they keep the cobbler in the fridge (not fresh) because my peach cobbler was FREEZING cold. Don't think I will give this place another try. read more

Cotton Patch Cafe - Cocktail sauce clearly on receipt - American Near Me - Georgetown, Texas

They are so severely understaffed that we sat for 45 minutes before being served. That is patently unacceptable, I don't care what your staffing problems are. Worse, there were only 5 other families in the restaurant--I counted them. 75% of the tables were empty. It's better not to be open than to put customers through this. I'll refrain from dining here again. Best to just close up shop until you have enough staff to actually cook and serve. read more

Lindsey L was outstanding in customer service. We will return shortly to test out the dessert menu. Loved the Cobb salad and the freshly brewed ice tea. read more

We ordered delivery from this location and our delivery driver even apologized, saying this location is always super slow. I could see on the app, that she drove straight from the restaurant to our house. However, the ice cream, with our kids' meals, was completely melted, and all the hot food was cold. Plus, we were completely missing two items. Very disappointing because we've had many people rave about Cotton Patch Cafe. I guess we know just not this location. Wish we had read the other reviews before we ordered. I don't see us ever ordering from this location again, or visiting in person. read more

This is a favorite of ours. My husband usually gets the meatloaf but I can never make up my mind as everything is super tasty. The alcoholic drinks are good, but they also have a variety of nonalcoholic choices, including raspberry and peach teas. The dinner rolls are so yummy and they'll bring you as many as your little heart desires. Tonight we had the special treat of being served by Melanie H. She introduced herself by saying it was her pleasure to take care of us tonight, and that was followed up by delightful service. She conversed with us in a way that made us feel welcome, was attentive without being intrusive, and informative about thour menu choices. She also anticipated our needs and got us refills (to go!) before we ever had to ask. We hardly ever get dessert here, but she made it sound so tempting, we took home coconut cream pie which she tantalizingly showed us before putting it in a bag at our table- there was sooo much pie!!! We will definitely be back to see Ms. Melanie!! Update: Because we have my elderly in-laws living with us, we have been having meals delivered, or picking them up instead of dining-in. Today we all ordered a meal- chicken fried steaks, shrimp, and catfish. Everything was delicious! In fact, my super-picky father-in-law, who always has something negative to say about his meal, had no complaints- a high compliment!! The other thing I wanted to mention is that they thought of everything- rolls and butter, and to put all the gravy and sauces separately. Everything was packed perfectly. So glad to still be able to eat from Cotten Patch!! read more

Had lunch today at Cotton Patch Cafe with my wife and as always the chicken fried steak was delicious! We have eaten at this establishment for years but on this day we had superb service from the waitress, Katie, who was very attentive and professional. We have always had good service at this place but Katie was exceptional and we really appreciated her. Keep up the great service! Thx! read more

Just waited 15 minutes to be seated and no one even acknowledged is being there. Will give business elsewhere. I get being busy and short staffed but at least acknowledge people are waiting. One server was talking about her life story to her clients who did not even seem to care read more

Went back with my boss and he bought his team lunch. Menu items changed. Understaffed. Menu doesn't offer the Grilled Chicken Bacon Avocado Ranch sammich any longer. I think I'm done with this place. it WAS a good run. But the restaurant will need an overhaul. read more

Terrible service as soon as we walked in the door! If the restaurant has only 3 occupied tables and LOTS of open tables on a Sunday evening there's a red flag. After waiting for someone to acknowledge us at the host stand and they finally come over with a greet there's another red flag. She then tells us it will be around 10mins to seat us ....that was our final red flag to walk out and go strait to Longhorn Steakhouse to wait a true 5-10 mins and guarantee that the food & service will be very good. Tried to give this place a chance but don't waste you time walking in!! read more

Food is good, unfortunately getting your food is a hassle. Service is consistently the worst. Waiting 30 minutes for a curbside order when you can see in the window that they are not busy AND they refuse to answer the phone is awful. Person answering the phone works out of a call center and can also not get through to the restaurant. Finally got food, ice cold. Actually surprised this location is still open. read more

I'm not gonna lie, ever since I've become involved with Yelp, I left most chains behind. With that being said, apparently I've become quite a snob. My parents tend to usually eat at chains since that's what is readily available for the most part wayyy up north. They invited me to eat dinner with them and I rolled my eyes thinking it would be something like Texas Roadhouse or the usual Cheddar's. But I am never one to complain about a free meal. My mom could sense my unenthusiastic response and proceeded in racking her brain to think of one of the few restaurants they've been to that I haven't been to. As we drove further north to Georgetown, neither one could even remember the name of the place which they had been to once before. Cotton Patch? All I could think of for some reason was Cabbage Patch Kids. I was skeptical at first...it was in the faaaar back of a huge shopping center. I was pleasantly surprised by this cute, quaint place! The outdoor patio is huge and fantastic. We sat out on the patio which overlooked a beautiful green scenery out to the west with nothing else in sight except the beautiful sun setting. Prices were excellent, portions were more than fair and our server was very attentive. The spinach artichoke dip was great and the tortilla chips were strangely addicting. I was feeling' the meat and ordered a 6oz. steak with grilled shrimp, which came with 2 sides for $9.99! They got my steak right and made it a perfect medium. They even have a healthy part of the menu which included how many calories, and basically brags about being the "skinny" version. Even my dad's potato, cheese & bacon soup was savory. I almost went with a burger because they sounded so delicious...so there will definitely be next time! If you're ever up in G-town, definitely eat here, its affordable and delicious and you won't be disappointed. Don't forget to schedule enough time to explore here, the Wolf Creek shopping center is vast and quite entertaining. I really wanted to take this one King Charles puppy home with me from Petland... read more

I ordered the Fish and chips. My fish was raw. I asked for ketchup and the waiter said that they did not have any prepared. It was Good Friday. You'd figure they'd have ketchup. It's our last time back. read more

Can't give a review for food because we never got any...went in and waited a bit...a girl finally came to the counter and checked us in and said we would receive text when table was ready...maybe a 15-20 minute wait...there were only 3 tables of people in the restaurant at that time...we waited 20 minutes and never received a text...we went back in and waited at the counter a bit and no one checked on us so we left and went to the fish city grill right across from the Cotton Patch...had great service and a great meal...I typically like Cotton Patch fine but we had an awful experience. read more

Food is absolutely amazing, but the service we received left little to be desired. Staff seemed so demotivated and it showed in their service. From the get go, I felt like we were a bother to our server; she was too busy unjamming a stapler and taking to the other servers to pay attention to us. First she didn't fully explain when she changed my order that I would be getting LESS food and paying more for it. Then she always walked by the table when I was taking a sip of a drink and asked if I needed anything, but didn't stick around for me to swallow my drink and answer. My chicken fingers without fries and minimal BBQ sauce were very tasty, and the chicken and dumplings that are equivalent to a side of fries was even better! Definitely will give it another try, but would request a server that actually gave a damn. But then she tried to redeem herself and brought a extra spoon with the dessert, so there's that too. read more

Nice location with a great outdoor patio. Food 2/5 - mostly generic versions of southern classic cooking and pub food. It could be better if executed really well, but so-so menu combined with ok to bad execution means it's really not a great choice. Service 2/5 - uncaring and non-attentive servers. Needed to remind our waitress several times to bring us rolls for the very hungry children at the table because the meal was taking so long. Not recommended. read more

Food was great, but as a server, Lindsey is the best. Yelp said my review was too short, so here are more words. read more

We attempted to enjoy some Cotton Patch, but waited to get seated for over 5 minutes. We finally just left, as well as the people who came in before us. It appeared the manager was one of the only staff working. One staff member just held the front door open and never came back inside. It was sad that this location seems to be going downhill. read more
