    The food was pretty good the service was grate even though we went on a Saturday and our water was nice

    Specials as of November 2024

    Recently the Sunday special was chicken and dumplings. Now it's a vegetable platter. If you are looking forward to a discounted meal, consider calling on the phone to check what special is available that day.

    Cotton Patch Cafe is known for their chicken fried steak. Most everybody who doesn't have something against chain restaurants will tell you that Cotton Patch is the place to go for consistently good chicken fried steak. I just enjoyed my dinner at Cotton Patch and if they had an appreciation bell, I would have rang it. The fresh rolls are warm and soft. They don't need butter, but it's there. These rolls are irresponsible. The entre (with 2 sides) arrived soon and it was an eyeful. Fortunately, the plate was big because the chicken fried steak barely fit. The steak was properly tenderized and a thick, crispy breading that was perfectly cooked. It came out piping hot with a good amount of creamy gravy. Nicely seasoned, too. I didn't have any empty breading that you sometimes get when the steak mysteriously shrinks away from the edges. The mashed potatoes were real, with garlic and pepper. Topped with more of that creamy gravy. Very nice. In the south, they say you can't overcook green beans but these came pretty close to it. I would have preferred them a little less done, but they were tasty with a little bacon added. A big thank you to Abigail M. who greeted, seated and served us so well. Abigail, you made our dinner delightful. I hope to see you again. One last tbing; There was a sign on the table that informed us of a 5% COVID surcharge for dine-in customers. Was that to cover the cost of disinfectant for the tables and face masks for employees? It didn't look like there was anything special being done to clean up between diners (and apparently no wiping down the salt and pepper grinders that we share). I now see that it states that the surcharge is due to the effect of the pandemic on food prices. It was obvious that this Cotton Patch location was doing much more business in take-out orders than dine-in. I wonder why the take-out customers weren't helping to carry the burden of the (hopefully) temporary food price spike?

    I introduced my husband here for his first. I was hoping that they going to be all that i tried to explain to him, and he was very happy with his meal.

    Place is clean and if you like adult beverages they have $5 beer and wine every day all the time…read more I observed some fairly young wait staff including our own; they were very respectful and polite throughout the evening. We tried the fried mushrooms as an appetizer ($10). I thought they were good with a very tasty honey mustard sauce. There was a slight hint of funnel cake flavor though. My wife got the 8 oz bacon-wrapped filet ($25) which she ordered mid-rare and came out to proper temp. She ordered mashed potatoes and gravy which were standard...she was pleasantly surprised at the green beans, saying it was very well-seasoned and we know it was good because she didn't offer to share.... My daughter ordered a burger which she applied the honey mustard sauce towards and thought it was ok. She doesn't eat a lot so her finishing half the burger is a good sign. I thought the bun was slightly over-sized to the burger optically but just the look of it coming out was tasty. Three-cheese burger ($17) looks like something worth a try next time I'm in the mood for a burger. Slight hiccup with my ribeye ordered medium-rare ($25). I understand 12 oz not the easiest to get exactly right but mine came out well-done on one half and medium. Nobody ever looks forward to requesting a re-fire but I pointed it out to our waiter and he agreed it wasn't right. A new one came out less than ten mins later. An offer was made to bring new sides as I had kept the originals but it wasn't necessary. The replacement was fantastic, and slightly bigger than the first so I appreciate them making up for it in a positive way. Sadly, there was no ice cream available to have my anticipated peach cobbler but honestly I probably didn't need the calories anyway. I appreciate the food, the service, and the re-fire and would say it's a fair value.

There's a lot of potential here. Food is pretty consistent. Server has always been great and earned a big tip. But each visit has had something negative too. We were once seated by an unenthusiastic host who told us they were out of silverware (the server was unhappy with that). One visit it wasn't busy but it took almost 45 minutes for our main courses. And on our first visit we got some cold food. So mixed feelings so far but lots of potential.

A few minutes later he showed up with a manager who explained that I would need to scan the QR code on the menu that they don't have allergen menus in print. I explained that I saw the QR code and tried it and the information it provides is confusing and incorrect. I am celiac so I can't have flour basically. Well the online allergen menu allows for you to chose your allergy in this case wheat, then its supposed to provide you with accurate choices. Well it shows chicken fried steak as gluten friendly under breakfast options but the same CFS under dinner is not? Ok, well then it shows the lunch meatloafs is safe but the dinner isn't. So which is it? Ugh, ok well I can wing it as always so I ordered some eggs and steak tips. About 45 minutes later me and my buddy was like hey where are our drinks? Then we noticed that some people that had come in after us were eating the food they ordered. Hmm, so my buddy goggles the number for the store and asks the person whom answered how long does it take to get your drinks once seated. "Oh maybe 5 minutes tops" then well what about your food? "Usually petty quick depends on party size and what's ordered". He responds 2 people the catfish plate and a breakfast plate eggs and steak tips. " should be easily 10 minutes or less". We'll be then proceeds to explain well that's not the case because we've been here for more the 50 minutes and we still don't have our drinks and other around us have come in orders eaten and left. The person on the phone comes and finds us I the dining room and apologizes and asks what we ordered. We told her and she heads to the kitchen. Within a few minutes she's back with most of the food we ordered and incorrect drinks. Ok well we appreciate the food but we're still missing these two items and asked for cornbread not biscuits. After about 4 more trips back and forth we finally get what was ordered along with more apologies. She even comped the meal. Well I do appreciate the free meal. It what we were after, we just wanted to eat a late lunch. Ironically the table behind us leaned over and asked what did we do to finally get our food. Why do you ask? We were in line after you at the hostess stand and still haven't gotten our food yet either. Ouch. My buddy explained what he did, ironically the manager came back by to see if we were ok and we pointed out the couple behind us apparently have the same issue with their food. Their excuse was that the kitchen had to make more since they had run out without offering them the option to change their order or decide to wait. Honestly they weren't very busy even though it's the weekend before Christmas and we saw are several waiters and staff standing around so not sure what was going on. Very disappointing overall. I'll think twice about going back.
