    Chuckwagon Chicken - a little dry
    Linn P.

    Good solid dinner. Had great fresh soft hot rolls to start with. Ordered fried pickles for app. Ranch was good but the fried pickles were heavy battered and minimal pickle. Our dishes were good. Not amazing but good. We had chicken fried steak, chicken friend chicken and the chuck wagon chicken. The chuck wagon was a little dry but not bad. I think the table liked the chicken fried chicken more than the steak. The sides were fine. We would come here again prob in the future if we're craving country cooking.

    Our visit here was amazing! We walk in to a clean and comfortable atmosphere!! Mercy was our server and she was awesome! We had the chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, fried okra and corn bread in a skillet. The food was so delicious! I can't wait to return to try something else on their menu!!

    Must try spot when your in the Dallas area. This is some good home style southern comfort food. I tried the chicken fried steak for the first time in my life and it blew my mind. I got it with the mashed potatoes and gravy with cinnamon apples and scraped my plate clean. My brother Inlaw ordered the beef tips and even his plate was clean. Service was also on point with friendly waitstaff. Restaurant ambience was clean. I would also like to thank manager and staff for a very good experience dining at their restaurant. I hope to come back soon to try other menu items. Best food I had on my trip to Dallas.

    Updated w pics of our favorite meals! We love ordering from here - need pics of the cornbread but it never lasts long. Blackened tilapia and chicken fried chicken w fried okra/green beans and garlic mashed potatoes are our favorite.

    Was in the Grapevine area running errands and had time to kill before my last appointment at six o'clock. So I decided to run over to Cotton Patch for some good old-fashioned southern cooking. The food did not disappoint, nor did the service as Stephanie was on top of her game. She could tell I was one of those people who needs minimal attention. Stephanie was never a bother and checked on me at just the right amount of times. She provided another glass of water without asking and accomodated a request for a spoon. If I'm ever in the area again, I'll definitely ask to sit in her section. The store was also beautiful in decor and very clean. Please check out this restaurant.

    First time in this Cotton Patch, first time in any Cotton Patch since Covid. Happily surprised! We went at lunch time. They have a great selection of items for $7.99 (from 11am to 1pm). However, we ordered the evening portion Chicken Fried Steak ($14.99). It was a very large portion and came with jalapeño or brown gravy... I got jalapeño gravy and my wife got the other. I got the steamed broccoli and the house salad... the salad was very large, enough for two. Wife got garlic mashed potatoes and fried okra. All came out hot and tasted great! The meals included fresh hot rolls. The service was very good, especially concerning the tables were almost all taken. Our waitress did a great job! They offer beer, wine and mixed drinks. Some interesting appetizers (I.e. chicken fried bacon). The interior was clean and well maintained, however a little darker than I like. Plenty of close parking. We will absolutely be back! Highly recommended this location!

    Taylor at Rowdy Cowboy is exactly what great service is supposed to look like. She's sharp,…read morequick-witted, and actually pays attention to what's going on around her--something that clearly isn't consistent across the rest of the floor. While other servers seemed more focused on socializing with regulars than doing their jobs, Taylor stood out immediately. She stayed engaged, checked in at the right times, and made sure everything was handled without needing to be asked twice. That's not luck--that's professionalism. She brings a mix of intelligence and humor that makes the experience better without being forced or over the top. More importantly, she executes. Orders are right, timing is right, and the overall experience feels intentional--not neglected. If you're going to Rowdy Cowboy, don't leave it to chance. Ask for Taylor by name. She's an asset to that place, and based on what I saw, she's setting a standard others there aren't meeting

My Overall Rating - 3 1/2 Stars (5 Stars if you only care about service) Atmosphere - It's pretty electric. There is a large bar in the middle, tons of bar seating, and during my Thursday visit for lunch, it was packed. The vibes are good, and tons of TVs are showing sports. If you have an XY chromosome, this is your place. 1 Star. Service - Rowdy Cowboy is known for having great servers who are very friendly (and nice to look at). All tables were taken, so I sat at the bar. The bartenders were fast, efficient, and very friendly. They got my order wrong, but I don't care. Their friendliness made me not care. 1 Star. Food - Look, if you're here, you're not here for the food. I started with the Steak Frites. The steak was super tender but lacked seasoning. The shoestring fries were awesome and made the perfect pairing to the steak. I ordered the Brisket Sliders but ended up with Wagyu Sliders. I didn't mind because our bartenders were so friendly, but the sliders were just ok. Remember, this place is not known for the food. 1/2 Star. Will I Return? - Yes. Rowdy Cowboy knows exactly what it does well, and believe me it does it well. In fact, out of all the restaurants in this genre, Rowdy Cowboy has the friendliest staff. Yes, I will be back. 1 Star.

Matt our excellent server has a great sense of humor and welcoming personality. So much that we had to chat with the Manager, Bobby about him.

With what's happening in the world, the steaks are a little bit on the *ozempic thinner side but we still highly recommend because of the quality. Can't wait to bring our good friends from Arlington, down this way again. We drove over 30 minutes. We came to celebrate life!

She led me back to the table with my friends and created some small talk on the way, so that was a nice change of pace, considering many people just point you on your way.

Our waitress was very fast and helpful with picking out our foods based on our likes. Once the food came out, everyone seemed to really enjoy their meals, including myself. We started the table off with the biscuits and fried green tomatoes (demolished!). I kept it simple with the chicken and waffles (delicioius and crispy), which was a HUGE helping (yum!). Others at my table enjoyed the the shrimp and grits and WB chicken sandwich. No complaints heard from them!
