    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!

The portions are also huge Our server was wonderful from start to finish. He was friendly, attentive, and checked on us often without being overbearing. The service was honestly the best part of the experience. We started with the Sichuan calamari, and this was easily the highlight of the meal. It was perfectly crispy, the glaze had just the right amount of sweetness and heat, and the seasoning gave it a nice kick without overpowering the calamari. It was one of the best calamari dishes I've had and definitely raised my expectations for everything that followed. Next was the tenderloin bruschetta, and unfortunately this one just didn't work for me. The flavors didn't come together, and it was much saltier than it needed to be. It felt like there were too many things happening on the plate without much balance. I wouldn't order it again. For the entrées, the Chilean Sea Bass was very good. The fish was flaky and cooked well, the risotto was creamy, and the sauce brought everything together without being too heavy. It was one of the stronger dishes we ordered. The lobster stuffed ravioli was another solid choice. The filling was generous, there was plenty of lobster on top, and the vodka sauce complemented everything nicely without taking over. It was rich but still well balanced. We also tried the New Zealand rack of lamb. This one had mixed reviews at our table. It wasn't as tender as I was hoping, but I didn't dislike it and again I didn't love it! The blackened exterior and the wine reduction gave it good flavor, but it just wasn't particularly memorable. My favorite entrée ended up being the tomahawk pork chop. The pork itself was juicy, flavorful, and cooked really well. I wasn't a huge fan of the pineapple bourbon glaze since I didn't think it added much to the dish, but the quality of the meat made up for it. We also had the strawberry spinach salad, which was fresh and a nice lighter option alongside all the richer dishes. Then there was also a side dish with green beans and almond and again no complains there. Overall, I left feeling a little conflicted. The service was outstanding, the atmosphere was great, and the portions were very generous. The food itself was a mix of really good dishes and others that completely missed the mark. After such an incredible start with the calamari, I expected the rest of the meal to be on the same level, but it just never got there. I'm glad we tried it, but I don't think it's a place I'd rush back to.

Super busy, inside the door was being held open since there was just people coming in and out. Had to get on a waitlist and that took an 45 to an hour to be seated. Once seated, the server wasn't anywhere to be found until 15 minutes after. I'm sure it was extremely backed up. But then the order didn't come after an hour. At that time, I didn't feel as hungry anymore so maybe I'll come back on a slower day. The food was decent but the sides were all pretty sodium loaded and the chicken was pretty greasy. The ambiance was and the hostesses were helpful. I would recommend to go on a slower day at least once if you haven't tried this place. Everything costs $60+, In my opinion the dishes are a bit overpriced. If you're watching out for your calories with this one then just forget it!

What really made this place stand out, though, was the exceptional attentiveness from the entire team.
