This location of a regional chain rocked! I had been craving chicken and dumplings on our trip to see the wife's folks and found this location with the recommendation from fellow yelp-pers. We started with the green chile queso, living in Colorado I was skeptical of what it would actually be, but it was very, very good! As a matter of fact, I have not had anything like this in CO. The wife and Father in Law had the chicken fried steak. It was as big as the plate, hand breaded and delicious! So I figured the app and a bowl of chicken and dumplings would be enough, I should have ordered a cup - the big bowl was filled with a wonderful rendition of the dish! I could only eat half the bowl and waddled back to the car. We ate outside on the patio and and after a shaky start the service was great. Can't wait to get back to TX and try this and other locations. 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

I hate that I even have to give this place 1 star. I went with my husband yesterday, I should've walked out the moment we walked in. There was standing water the entire length of the restaurant with just a few wet floor signs scattered and no one making an effort to clean it up. There were children, elderly people and myself which I'm currently expecting - all 3 a fall risk and that motivated no one to resolve this. We ordered our food which took over 30 mins to come out with the restaurant less than a quarter full and when it did come out only our entree was hot each of our two sides were freezing cold. Our waitress never came by to check how we were doing so we ate the edible portions and quickly paid the bill and left. My husband immediately got sick when we got home and we've both been sick all day today. All this to say don't come to this location unless you are looking for slow terrible service and food poisoning. read more

Renee C our server was Very sweet and fast. I think she was the only one working besides the cook. It was a Tuesday thou. Food was Good, restaurant and bathrooms where clean read more

I want to say we had horrible service but our waitress was amazing. She was quick to get our orders, bring rolls and refill drinks. It was the kitchen, so slow!! We waited way too long for our order and when it finally came everything cold. I used to ho to thus restaurant all the time and had good food. But I can't say that was the case thus week. Our food was poor quality! Tiny portions and cold! The plate was huge so the 5 frys was ridiculous. Will not go back anytime soon. read more

Nice location in Wolf Ranch tucked away in the corner. We ate outside since it wasn't hot and there was lots of shade. The hostess and our waitress was nice and took care of us pretty good. I had the Shiner Bock Fish and chips and my wife had the Seafood duo and some wine. I have heard good things about their chicken fried steak here but the fish and chips are my favorite. The fish was nice, crispy and flavorful. We also ordered fried green tomatoes for a appetizer and for someone who doesn't like tomatoes it was really good! The avocado ranch was different but we also asked for regular ranch. I will definitely come back to try the chicken fried steak if I don't order the fish again. Always have a good experience at CP. G-town and the one in Round Rock. read more

Cotton Patch Cafe - Shiner bock fish and chips. - American Near Me - Georgetown, Texas

Very disappointed. We used to go here often in the past so when my sister came to town she requested we go back. We ordered the queso and salsa appetizer first. The queso tasted like nacho cheese from the movies and the salsa was like out of a can. To top this off, more than half of our chips were soggy or stale! Next, I ordered a bowl of chicken tortilla soup that was supposed to be topped with avocado slices. When I received my soup, they gave me a small bowl filled to the brim with tortilla strips and cheese and only three tiny quarter slices of avocado. Service was very slow and it wasn't busy dinner time yet (around 5). We waited over 20 minutes to get our empty glasses refilled. Will not be back. read more

This was my one and only trip here. First I got a raw baked potatoes more like a cut one from the garden and cover with sour cream. My brother in law's mashed potatoes was like a baseball. The shrimp was old and seasoned horrible to the point of in editable. We ordered 10 oz rib eye and received a tiny sirloin each the waitress and manager thought it was funny to complain about us in front of us. Then on the way out we saw the two cooks and was disgusted. Neither had hairnets or anything both had full beards and not well kept and we say one of them eating over the food. read more

Cotton Patch has become a standard place for us to go when we don't feel like cooking, which seems pretty often. I could have sworn that I have reviewed them before, but it appears not. Fired mushrooms. Some of the best around. You gotta eat some. The mushrooms are fresh, none of those frozen ones. There chicken fried steak is pretty good. Cream gravy, pretty standard. I really enjoy the broccoli on the side. Overall, the food is pretty descent. Unfortunately, the service seems to be going down. The meals come with bread, but is seems like the wait staff is given a bonus if they don't serve it. It's been tough to try and get the bread. You have to keep asking for it, over and over. I've noticed the same with the other tables around us. The last two times we've had the same waiter, and he is slow. I'm usually a pretty generous tipper, but not with him. You have to beg for drink refills and beg for some bread. I was especially annoyed by one of the waitresses during today's visit. A young women with dreadlocks. She kept squeezing between out table and the one next to use. Both tables had seats that were occupied, and the space separating them was thin, yet she kept insisting on squeezing through and bumping into both people each time. So, overall, pretty safe on the food. The service needs some immediate attention from the manager. May keep us from returning. read more

The Food and service was lacking, to say the least. A young guy came by and said he would refill my water. I told him it was Sprite and he said "Oh, Okay." Smiled and left. He left it unclear whether or not he would refill my Sprite. Our food came, not delivered by our server. And he clanked the dishes loudly on the table when he set them. He said "alright." We realized we were not given silverware which we quickly discovered was an issue all over the restaurant. Many young girls walked by asking the hostesses for silverware. We were upset the guy who brought us our food didn't ask us if we needed anything. It was probably a good 10 minutes before our server came back to our table and we asked for silverware. By that time, our food got cold. I ordered the pot roast. It literally looked like dog food. The meat was grey and tasted overcooked. It was smothered in brown gravy that tasted packaged. The potatoes and carrots that accompanied the pot roast tasted overcooked and not fresh. Our server came, said she would be right back with a Sprite refill. It never came. That's two times a server noticed my low Sprite quantity and did nothing. She came back with the check, but no sprite refill. I never mentioned the Sprite to anyone because I was promised a refill. But the only thing that was delivered next time we saw the server was the check. By that time, I wanted to leave. Never coming back. read more

I never heard back from the manager, so we are writing this one off. Apparently they are not interested in making their customers happy or hearing what all went wrong. read more

I've been a loyal fan for many years and kept going back, despite slow service, filthy restrooms, and persistent order errors. We still loved the food, so kept going back and ordering takeout. However, the last two orders, we were missing most or all of 4 meals, each time a few weeks apart. Each time, I called in and spoke to the manager, who promised me a replacement for 4, then 8 meals for a dine-in meal. When I went in shortly after, the manager was replaced and the new staff refused to honor his promises. My bill there is often $150, so it's not a cheap place, yet we continue to get subpar service, with no effort to remedy the past missing items. If you pay for something and don't get it, I feel it's theft at a certain point. The fact that we had to completely find alternate meals for several in our family, on multiple occasions, is unsatisfactory. read more

Never fails to make me smile when i come by. thank you guys for the soup! :) Everyone go visit cowboy (not if you're a giants fan though). The food is great and the servers are amazing. read more

Everything I have eaten here I have liked. When we can't decide where to eat this is our go to place, because we know we won't be disappointed and we have many choices. We enjoy both lunches and dinners at Cotton Patch. read more

Found a variable menu of items to please everyone, nicely priced, convenient location, and relaxing view of the area to dine to. Yelping through the choices and looking for someplace new to eat at in the area, we chose the Cotton Patch. It is a nice nestled little restaurant in the sprawls of a shopping center. While there we ordered the Bacon Cheese Fries, Chicken Fried Steak, Shiner Bock Fish-n-Chips, and a Salad. The Bacon Cheese fries were really good, they were filled throughout with cheese and bacon (don't tell my doctor...lol), the chicken fried steak came large and well seasoned, and moderately good for eating here in Central Texas (I am from Southeast Texas and it is a home specialty), the Salad was a good salad (sorry nothing more descriptive...lol), and my Shiner Bock Fish-n-Chips were surprisingly good for a place I was not sure about. They came well seasoned and battered, not over cooked, and the portions were good in size and flaky as they should be. As I have looked for some good Fish-n-Chips around the outsides of Austins I was glad to find these. Additionally, I enjoyed the fact that when I asked for hot sauce to add zip to my meal, they offered something other than Tobasco that everyone thinks is "hot sauce" for everything (it's good with certain things, just NOT everything); in this case they had Louisiana Hot Sauce...so I got the flavor I wanted and the heat for the dish without overpowering its natural flavor. All in all, we like being there as a nice family oriented place that had an attentive wait staff, good food, and great aesthetics contrary to being in a strip mall center. Our very young daughter specifically liked us sitting outside (she could amuse herself with the people and views) and we enjoyed the comfort & view in the cool evening also. So the next time you are at the Wolf Ranch Shopping area, and you are looking for a meal; go down to the corner area of the center for a great tasting convenient meal that you won't have to search far for. read more

We've enjoyed the Cotton Patch. It's my mom's favorite restaurant. Mom loves the big salads. We've had a variety of things there and we always enjoy them. My mom's husband always hopes they have the turkey and dressing. We typically go on Sunday and sometimes they sell out. read more

Wow, am I dense or what? I didn't even realize a drive to College Station wasn't necessary in order to enjoy the fantastic fish 'n chips at Cotton Patch. Not that I mind the drive since my parents live there... Cotton Patch was perfect after spending the late afternoon walking around Lake Pflugerville...yeah, you heard me correctly...Lake Pflugerville with the husband and kiddoes. Just like the one in College Station, this location is nestled in a shopping center...which I realized is like the mother ship calling me home... So I can shop at TJ Maxx and have lunch at Cotton Patch. Sweet! So my oldest and I had the fish 'n chips and they were wonderful. The flaky white fish was perfectly battered and the fries were those yummy cracked pepper type. Not suprisingly my youngest had the macaroni and cheese...which comes with two sides and an oreo cookie. It's kind of cute because they serve it on a three section plate. My husband had a small chicken fried steak which hit the spot. Now that it's like we are feeding three adults and one child, getting the bill is sometimes frightening...but not this time. The prices here are reasonable so that our bill wasn't even $50...and that leaves more $$ for momma to spend at the shopping center. Review over...I have shopping to do... read more

We went here for a late lunch 3pm. It was not very busy and it looked like they were short staffed. Many tables were not bussed and when we got seated were told they were washing silver wear and would bring some shortly. I ended up going to get silver wear . Our food took forever and I am not sure who was waiting on us . Noone came to check on the table. Took me a long time to find someone so I could pay my bill. read more

Great place to eat, great food 90% of the time! But the service.. is really hit or miss, it's either really good or really bad, seems to me that all the older servers do a much better job, this opinion is based on my 10-14 experiences there. One time we were there on a Friday night and the (teen?) server boy was slow and just awful, when I complained later I got the excuse that he was new, common sense would say WHY put a new person on a Friday night?! Poor service or Poor management?? Been going next door to Fish city grill most of the time, always good service there! read more

I have been to this restaurant several times, but never has any server taken care of me with the kind of drive than kari. I was blown away by her care and will definitely request her when I come back! read more

I love the Cotton Patch. One of my all time favorite resturants. That being said though... I enjoy the Round Rock location more. This location is a hit or miss. Sometimes the food and service is on point and other times it's just not but I still continue to go to this location because its convenient. read more

Training waiter Jayshawn was awesome on Tuesday night! My friend and I had the meatloaf dinner. The food and service were both excellent!

Dope food and service carinig managment and iverall great experience for the family. Free hot rolls amd cornbread are a plus. Shelby tim and alexis are also wonderful read more

The wait staff and hostesses were particularly unpleasant. In fact my party and I made a game of trying to make our waitress grin, but had no luck. The chicken fried chicken was decent, the sides were underwhelming. Definitely won't be going back. Try 600 degrees or Roots, great homemade pizza restaurants, pleasant staff. Don't waste your time here. Poor experience. read more

We went to lunch today and we have gone here lots of times previously. Long wait for food and served only lukewarm. Server said there was trouble in the kitchen. We understand everyone has of days but we wished we had some communication from staff as we were on a limited time for lunch. read more

Came here for a quick lunch and the food was pretty good. The service was quick and we got what we wanted quickly. Nothing too amazing that blows your mind it's a standard franchise restaurant that you get decent food and good service. The special cornbread that they have right now is amazing though!! It has jalapeños in it and it gives it just a little spice but the sweetness from the cornbread is delicious!! Overall good spot to come for lunch or dinner if you are looking for a standard place to come to nothing unique but definitely not terrible. I would come back when I'm in the mood for it. read more

Went in for lunch today and after waiting ten minutes to be greeted at our table we decided to leave. While waiting for a server to greet us we witnessed two other tables that had been waiting and not greeted as well. We decided it was best to just leave than have an a terrible lunch. Seemed like they were very short staffed, I felt bad for the servers. I would have much rather waited for a table at the host area versus waiting at my table to never be greeted... At least two servers, a hostess and manager all passed our table several times in the ten minutes we waited.. We have always had good service in the past I don't know what was going on today. read more

We were so excited to see a Cotton Patch so close to us now! We haven't been to one since we left Midland 7 years ago & we loved it. Let me tell you this place was NOT anything like the one we remember! Terrible service, terrible food & the whole placed seemed grimy! What a disappointment!! The cornbread was burnt - the fried green tomatoes & pickles were soaked in grease! None of us finished our plates! read more

We live in RR and see that they are going to open up a new location here soon, So we decide to try out there lunch menu. Building ambiance is great, Patio has great view, Interior walls made out of rock formations and booths very comfy. MY wife and I were seated very quickly. It was around 130 pm on a Thursday and the place just cleared out the lunch rush. Service was prompt and we were asked about ordering apps, which we declined. I ordered a coke and wife a water. The lunch menu specials were a little high About 7.99 and up. The pics of the food looked great and decent size portions. The dinner menu of same items is about $1.50 more. We were brought 2 rolls, Yeast I think and they were okay. But not like Logans, I ordered the Chicken Fried Steak and 2 side of Garlic mashed and Mac and Cheese. Wife ordered the Tortilla soup and baked potato pick two special. A little steep at $7.50. Food came kinda quick as I assume all they did was cook my chicken friend steak to order. First impressions, Looked like a kids meal. The plate was bout 40% empty (see pic). Chicken steak was hot but mashed potatoes was just a scoop and mac was in a small bowl maybe 2 scoops if most. For a big guy this was more like a appetizer not a lunch meal. My wife's soup was cold and bland, The Baked potato was to be "Loaded" well very little back butter and sour cream... The potato it self was hard over cooked. It need to have been wrapped in sea salt but it was like a boiled potato... Thumbs down... she took few bites and the rest will be in the can in 10 minutes! If only the look and feel of the restaurant matched the food quality and size this would be a winner! Tortilla Soup D Baked Potato F Chicken FS-B Mac C+ Mashed C+ Happy Eats! read more

Great patio view, the heart healthy grilled chicken is awesome. read more

Cotton Patch Cafe - American Near Me - Georgetown, Texas

Well last week I went to The Cotton Patch in Round Rock for their birthday special, there was a long wait and my beer was flat and my food was cold once I got seated and served. Someone from Social Media at Cotton Patch read my review from last week and sent me another $5 coupon for the Chicken Fried Chicken or Steak good through today. I thought well this week I'll go to the Georgetown location to see if its better. I was seated quickly and I showed the waitress the coupon that was sent too me, she said without looking at it that was not valid. I showed her the dates that it was good so she had to go check with her manager, she came back and said that it was okay and took my order. I ordered a beer and the Chicken Fried Chicken once again, the beer came out and actually had a head of foam which was better than last weeks beer. Okay so I'm happy and I'm waiting for my food, as time by well over 30 minutes and my food is still not ready. The restaurant was not crowded at all and the server kept telling me in a sheepish way that food was coming out soon but never did so I finally got up to find out what was up. Evidentialy the kitchen did not want to make my food because I was using a coupon that was meant to make me feel better about last week, well it did not work. Well I finally got my order and it was hot enough but so was I by that point. What can I say, they tried to fix it but couldn't. I hope the rest of the locations around Texas do better than these two.... read more

I wish there was a 2.5 star rating as I'm torn. You have a 50/50 chance the staff is stretched thin and that may delay your dining experience here. Overall the food is decent but would not go out of my way to eat here. read more

I heard great things about their chicken fried steak, but I'm not so sure it was anything to rave about. Large portions for relatively cheap, but there's a general lack of flavor. I can see myself back, but with an understanding of what I'm getting into. read more

Cotton Patch Cafe - Chicken fried steak - American Near Me - Georgetown, Texas

Cotton Patch has some of the best food as well as some of the best service you will ever get! Cowboy our server went out of his way to make sure everyone is having a good time and good service! We will definitely be back very soon! read more

We have been here several times,and tried it again last night. The grilled chicken plate I had was very good. It came with rice and grilled veggies,which were fine too. The bread ,was fresh,but must not have a lot of fat in it,so a little bland,but still ok. My hubby had a veggie platter ,and was pleased with the mashed potatoes,veggies,blackeyed peas and rice and brocc. casserole.. All in all,we were happy with the service,comfortable booths,oldies music,and the good food. Last time we had the peach cobbler,which was flaky and yummy served hot, then with the ice cream on top. The cobbler is good deal for 2.99,and just 1,49 for a generous scoop of ice cream. There is an outside patio with nice scenic view. The weather has cooled off a little and there was a nice breeze. Maybe next time we will sit outside read more

Good food, servers are all nice from my experience. But come here on a busy night and the place is horribly managed. There always is a longer wait than necessary; understaffed so table turn takes longer than it should. And good lord, be prepared if you order take out. Ordered at 6:16 online (receipt showed 6:14) and system told me food would be ready at 6:40p. Stood there from 6:40 until 7:12 waiting for food. Hadn't even been started at 6:40. There's no reason not to have a dedicated staff/expediter just handling to go orders. Straight up ridiculous. read more

Haven't been here since they reopened, but tried it out. Place was filthy. Hasn't been swept and chairs had food in them. Won't be back.

Walked in was seated right away, waited 15 mins. Not one person would wait on us. Several servers walked by looked at us, but never once stopped to take our drink order or food order. Place was not busy nor full, I just fount see how this place stays in business. read more

The "5 minute wait" is totally misleading. After being seated, we waited an additional 5 minutes before a server came to our table, and now it has been 45 minutes, and we still do not have our food. The waitress walked by and said "sorry, we just got a lot to go orders". To go takes precedence over in house patrons? This is the third time this has happened to us at this location. We will not be back. read more

We've eaten here a few times and the food was really awesome. Absolutely no complaints from anyone. The second time my CFS tasted like someone dumped a pound of salt on my plate :-( However, my son's food was awesome. The bacon cheese fries with jalapenos were yummy & the queso & salsa are also great. I decided not to send my amazingly salt dish back because the staff was distracted by an injured customer. I know they didn't dump salt on my food because of the accident - but I was less about the salt in my food and more worried about the customer. An elderly woman sitting across the restaurant from us fell getting out of a booth and hit her head on a table as she fell. There was blood every where. I give great praise to the staff for being quick to help her and take care of her while waiting for the ambulance. It seemed everything started moving in slow motion during that time and most customers were in concerned mode instead of enjoying or food mode. I will definitely give it another try and will continue to try different things on the menu. The service has always been great. read more
