We live in a small town.I get that. We do not have an abundance of Restaurants, therefore we settle for what we've got and do not complain much. It is obvious that the staff is not accustomed to hearing anything but "it is fine". I have been eating at Cotton Patch for 10 years. (5 in Midland and nearly 5 here in Granbury) The difference in locations is night and day. I usually do not say anything....just eat my meal and go, but it is not because everything is always good. I have learned to "settle", because we just do not have much to choose from. The catfish is usually fairly soggy (though it looks crispy), and more often than not, the food comes out cold. Tonight I ordered the fried Mashed Potato appetizers, Meat Loaf, baked potato and broccoli. The appetizers were excellent, but that was it. My entree was terrible! The baked potato was so cold it wouldn't melt the left over butter I had from my roll. The meat loaf was cold and fairly tasteless. The broccoli was YELLOW. I draw a line at yellow broccoli. I am not going to eat it. I sent it back and told the server if that was all they had, I would choose something else. The manager comes over and apologizes.Finally, my second round shows up, and you guessed it....yellow broccoli! Now anyone that has ever eaten, cooked, purchased or served yellow broccoli knows, or should know, that means it is not fresh...it is old. That is what happens to broccoli when it gets old....it turns yellow! Of course it was just dropped off in a dead run so I continue eating my meal before it is so cold I can't eat it. Finally my server comes back and asks how are things. I told her " I can't believe you brought me yellow broccoli a second time! Of course I meant "the restaurant brought me", since they all seem to help each other out and work all the tables together. She said " I didn't bring it"....OK, so you didn't personally bring it. She asked if I wanted something else. My meal was nearly finished by now, so I said no. The young manager shows up to ask how things were. I told him. He didn't realize it, but he "shushed" me while I was telling him. He obviously didn't want anyone else to hear. He asked if I wanted anything else. Well, NO, I was nearly through eating! Needless to say, my ticket/bill showed up fast with no offering of dessert. They wanted me out of there so they could go on pretending that their food is great. The manager's resolution was to deduct $1.99 from my bill. I paid the $16.00+, left a $5.00 tip and left without saying anything else. The challenge we have here is restaurants do not have to do any better. We will eat it, pay for it and probably go back without complaining.......we do not have many choices. Truth is, the food is not really great anywhere here. We have a few that are better than Cotton Patch, but not many. None of them try really hard with the exception of maybe Hoffbrau and sometimes the over-priced Eighteen Ninety (I wont get started on them). I love food, and I love to go out and eat. It gives me a break from the kitchen. It IS disheartening, to spend my hard earned money with restaurants who do not care enough to monitor the food coming out of the kitchen. Thanks for the $1.99. read more

Love their strawberry salad! Blackberry cobbler is amazing. Just wish they had bar drinks big I get it's just not that type of place.

The chicken fried steak is really good! Hadn't had one of those in a long time and I was not disappointed at all! Most of the food I've ordered is excellent. Good service and food comes fairly quickly. read more

It's just a chain place but the food is good, the service good, and I just happen to love the grilled pork chops with the cinnamon apples. Yummy! read more

My family and I came here after church on Sunday. They were very busy but Allie took very good care of us. She checked by often and make sure we had everything we needed and gave wonderful recommendations. I had their Cajun tilapia and it was perfect. This was a wonderful dining experience. read more

Always friendly and the steaks are great. They know how to cook a steak. Center of town off hwy377 so close to everything. Happy customer for several years. read more

Food was great and for a great price. To go was ok only cause food was a little bit cool when we got it home but they were generous and gave us lots of bread. read more

Service goes over and beyond. Wait staff smiles and knowledgeable about food. Food is good. Fried pickles are delish! The coleslaw is fresh and really good...only served on friday. Enjoy! read more

This place is pretty good for Granbury, i promise you, if you want a steak come here instead of Hoffbrau's. I normally get the steak and shrimp. Their tea is fresh (not out of a bag) and service is pretty good. Also, try the fried green tomatoes, they are awesome read more

Working in area stopped in for dinner. Sat in booth by window, window ledge had not been cleaned in quite some time - dead flies & dirt, disgusting . Requested to be moved to a table as we had already ordered before noticing issue. Waitress, sadly not her forte. Ordered 2 teas & water, got 2 waters & 1 tea & the service went downhill from there. Just never had seen such poor service. Finally got,our food. A hamburger & salad... All I can say is the cook was ok, as the food was good. Won't go back. read more

Everyone I know in Granbury including myself love to dine at Cotton Patch. Great daily and weekly specials with fair prices and huge portions. The staff always smile and seem to really enjoy being there for the customers. This is a must try if in the Granbury area. read more

Good fast service, mashed potatoes could have been hotter, and usually upon being seated hot rolls are brought to you, but not today....they were still cooking and were brought to us after we had finished eating!!! read more

I eat here almost daily. The atmosphere is great, the food superb and the service is second to none, especially if you get MARY as your waitress. The daily specials cannot be matched any where in Granbury. They need a good breakfast place here also. read more

Hey, just doing this because a server from here, Mavis, is asking for good reviews in a facebook group so that "the DM will stay away". I live hundreds of miles away and have never been there, but this is not the right way to get a good review. read more

We a wonderful experience at your restaurant. Our waitress Monica was so pleasant and her customer service was top notch. We'll ask for her at our next visit! read more

The chicken fried steak is fantastic! The french fries are great too. The fried green tomatoes aren't bad. The baked squash wasn't my cup of tea and the mashed potatoes are definitely NOT fluffy or creamy like I prefer them. I like the atmosphere and the place is very clean. All in all I would eat here a couple of times a month and can recommend it to people with no reservations. I have been in other parts of the chain that I can't say that about, but the Granbury link in the chain is a strong one and the staff is superb!! read more

For $9, the apple-walnut salad--which was otherwise good--contained a pitiful amount of chicken. Not impressed.

Usual. Most CP are consistent. Slow but friendly. Steak was actually cooked right the first time. Would return.

Good food at a great value with friendly service. I have tried several of the lunch items and have not been disappointed.

I had a great experience at this location today. All three of us had great food, it was served very hot and the waitress was very nice. She took our drink order when she seated us and checked on us regularly. The fries were soggy, but everything else was so good that it didn't matter. I've been to the Flower Mound location and it was terrible. Was glad this one is so good, definitely recommend and will return. read more

I have never been to a Cotton Patch Cafe before, and didn't know what to expect. I met my brother and sister there today, at their suggestion. I was pleasantly surprised. The food was very good, and our waitress (Baylee) was just outstanding. Personable, helpful, prompt, and with a great sense of humor. I would come back just to see her again. The food is pretty basic, but it was solid. The servings were generous enough to take some home for dinner. I'll definitely be returning. read more

Yeah, uh... I purchased some onion rings to-go at this Cotton Patch, and uh... I didn't quite get onion rings... Close, but not quite... You see, I got fried onion skins instead... But they were courteous enough to throw in two onion rings! I bit into one and it was hard and tasteless. This is one of the reasons I have trust issues. Thank you, Cotton Patch. And thank you to your fry cook Roy for cooking me up some delicious fried onion skins! read more

We love theCotton Patch, for a family dinner you can't beat the price and the food is good too. I like the chicken fried chicken with green beans and mashed potatoes. You won't leave hungry. read more

The seating along with the service was smooth , pleasant and made you feel come back. Being in Texas and indulging in an good old staple chicken fried steak was a satisfying meal. The sides was even fresh and not tasting as it was sitting back in kitchen to be served. Salad was crisp and tomatoes and cucumbers was diced so bit was easy to accomplish while conversation was carried out with family. When I return back home to tennessee gonna let known Texas has great chicken fried steak. Which at home we call it cubed steak. Thumbs up for this place. read more

At lunch we both ordered salmon. It comes with two vegetables. We both ordered broccoli and I ordered a salad. My wife only wanted the one side. The waiter failed to bring the rolls. When our meal came, there was no broccoli on my wife's plate. He said it was coming. After we both were almost finished, he returned and said there was no more broccoli and that she should choose another side. We were finished. My wife said just charge us for one meal since she only received the fish. He spoke to the manager and she refused to alter the ticket except to remove the sides at 50 cents each. at that rate I should be able to get five vegetables on a vegetable plate for $2.50. We will not return and neither will the patrons who heard the exchange. read more

Everything was great my sister and I had a wonderful time service was wonderful and food awsome just the mash patato no so good but thats all prices worth it trust me i will so go back read more

We have been here several times prior to this visit and enjoyed it. We placed our order including their mushrooms for an appetizer, the size of this has been reduced. I asked for some honey mustard and never received it. I tried their catfish, I was able to eat one of them and left the other due to the nasty taste. The fries that came with it were wimpy and cold and I left those as well. I must admit, I was kicking myself for eating the filet I ate, fearful of getting sick. Thankfully I did not get sick. It seems like the management has gone downhill. Tables were left dirty almost the entire time we were there. A lot of banging in the kitchen. When I told the waitress about my husbands catfish, she took it, said "sorry" and then came back with, "my manager will look into it"! If I was the manager I would have taken it off the bill! We will not be back! read more

Very disappointed in how this location seems to have gone downhill over the past couple of years. Tonight we ordered lemon herb salmon and a catfish dinner for takeout. With the pandemic in progress it was going to be nice to have a restaurant meal even if it was take out. How disappointing. The salmon was very over cooked and black. Matter of fact at first we thought they had given us blackened salmon .... except that is not on their menu. Wife could not eat it, it was so bad. The catfish was very salty and although it was supposed to come on a bed of french fries, there were none. I called the manager and he apologized and is sending us coupons for a couple of meals but that did us little good this evening. We have eaten at this location for close to ten years and we used to love it but as I said, the past couple of years it has really gotten worse and worse. Sorry to see it happen, but unless it improves I'm afraid we'll be dining elsewhere. I hate to post this, but they need to know that long time customers are going elsewhere. read more

one of the waitress was short and rude. won't be returning. food was sub par. cotton patch crap

Everything was awesome! From ba burger, turkey club, shrimp and strawberry salad! Waitresses were wonderful!

Waited for an hour and a half after the order was taken and still didn't have anything on the table, poor service, poor teamwork, bread was a scone so if you like rocks they'll make an architect out of you yet. read more

Great service, friendly atmosphere, and good food. Our servers are always very friendly and prompt. We go there frequently. The Dr Pepper cake is amazing! read more

My husband and I had dinner here over the weekend with our 3-year-old. Our waiter was very attentive and put our daughter's order in promptly. (However, we received our appetizer at the same time as our entrees.) The spinach/artichoke dip was very bland. I got a bowl of the potato cheese soup, which was good. My daughter seemed to enjoy her corn dog and my husband ordered the chicken fried steak, which he said was the best he'd had in a while. We did receive excellent service and would go back. read more

I really like this place because the food is good and there are not many places in Granbury where you can get vegetables. It is also the only place in town I know of where you can get Chicken Spaghetti and Chicken 'n Dumplings!! read more

Yesterday at about 2:45 I went to Cotton Patch Café. We had excellent service. Our server was very kind and friendly, although I can't remember her name. Our food & drinks came out quickly and it was very delicious as well. We had an overall great experience. read more

Waitress staff was amazing and the food was wonderful. The cheese stix are homemade, cooked to order and very good. I personally eat my steak well-done and this is the only place in town I can go to where they dont burn it. I have never had any issues with the food. The chicken fried steak is fresh and it's a pretty good size. My family loves it here. read more
