A quiet meal with my bride of 33 years. We were seated quickly and a drink order promptly filled (ice water). We placed our order of grilled tilapia with rice, green beans, and squash casserole. I ordered the fried white fish with hush puppies and squash casserole. The dinner rolls were promptly provided too. We did not wait too long for our meals to be served either! My only disappointment was the squash casserole wasn't very hot. All of our food way delicious too. We like the atmosphere of Cotton Patch as well. Our waitress and food runner were pleasant and friendly! read more

This place is ok. I searched google for restaurants with vegetarian options. While this place does offer a vegetable plate, the options are mostly starches (corn, mashed potatoes, rice) and vegetables with so many additives that the veggies can't be considered healthy. I guess it's supposed to be like southern comfort food. Eh, it wasn't all that comforting. I ended up ordering the cowboy chicken or something. I don't have my receipt in front of me at the moment. Ranch hand chicken? Second item in that section on the menu. It came with rice and another item, mashed potatoes or something. I asked for broccoli and a side salad. They gave me the rice anyway. I didn't eat it nor the bread that they brought. Service was fine. No issues, but the girl did tell me to have a blessed day (it was dusk). Please keep your religion to yourself. I would have given four stars if not for this. read more

Food and service were great. Chicken fried steak was delicious. Family atmosphere. Reasonable prices.

So I don't like having to post these types of reviews but....people need to know. The food here was not good. Literally not good. Almost everyone barely ate. Only 2 stars because the people were nice but whoa the kitchen needs some serious help. Would not return and no one in my party will either. read more

amazing experience was seated instantly Our drinks were full the whole time dessert was great no complaints read more

The bathrooms smell like sewage, the service is slow and awful. My boyfriend waited 20 minutes for a bottle of Modelo and my margarita tasted like someone squirted tonic water and margarita mix in a glass, and not only that but it was the WRONG margarita! I asked for the frozen margarita and they brought me a skinny margarita on the rocks. Usually they have such amazing service. I'm disappointed to say the least read more

We have been here 3 or 4 times in the last several months. Every time the food was fresh and tasty. The service has been OUTSTANDING! Today not only did our server check on us frequently but 2 other employees also checked on us. The best service of any restaurant I've been to in Odessa or Midland! Well done!!! read more

Door dashing is becoming such a fking joke around here. Just spent $30 on "2 CHICKEN FRIED CHICKEN Meals!!!" And these people put 2 chicken stripes and maybe 10 fries or less in our plates. You don't even deserve the 1 star! read more

Had order delivered, food was absolutely delicious, food was delivered warm, for the price it was excellent

The service was awful. they did not get three orders right and took forever to bring one meal out. there were 7 of us and everyone was basically done by the time the last person got their food. The waitresses had extremely rude attitude. she could not get orders right or bring our refills but got mean with us and had other waitresses giving us dirty looks, shaking their heads at us due to the fact we kept complaining due to nothing bein read more

It was just Midland safe food. The tenders were sauced a bit but could have been better. Sangria was weak but the rolls were good. Dinner arrived before my shrooms. Mgr took care to deliver and offer them free with an apology. They were hot and tasted good. Nothing to write home about but this is a safe meal read more

Twenty mins to be seated with 6 customers in house. 5 employees up front. Ignored for that twenty mins and then another 15 minutes when I told them I just needed to put in a to-go order.4:30 on a Saturday. I see why only 6 people were eating there read more

Tables, bar area and seats are always dirty! They don't care to clean properly. Last time I went there as I entered there was a sewer odor. I asked the waitress if yhey were having toilet or sink issues. She said she didn't know. She said she'd ask the manager. Never heard from either one. read more

Very overpriced food for the serving size. The "SHROOMS" were rolling around in the box like infant children in a playpin. Looking for their brothers! Money is so hard to come by. Choose where you spend your sweat equity! Plus, the soup was sour without one piece of bacon. So I didn't get to enjoy that sweat equity either. This was a negative experience for me....we tipped the driver $7.00 to drive 2 miles and not to desecrate our meal. She did a good job. I think 10.% is still a decent tip nowadays. Also, the app went down. I had to call customer service....God Bless America! The service industry needs an overhaul here in the Midland Odessa area for sure. read more

I called at 9:25pm to place a Togo order. I already ate dinner, and all I wanted was some peach cobbler. This girl who sounded confused when she answered the phone told me they were closed even though Google says they close at 10pm. Then she put me on hold to get her manager. By this time it was 9:30pm. A second lady who claimed to be the manager told me they were closed already and that the cooks had thrown away all the food for the day. Regardless if they closed at 10pm or 9:45pm, they were still open when I called, so they should have taken my order. Completely unprofessional and if any higher ups from Cotton Patch are reading this: your employees need to follow the rules of your business if you want to remain in business. read more

my wife ordered a medium rib eye steak but it was absoutely raw. My hamburger was raw. One time the food will be perfect and the next time awful. read more

The service started off slow . The server acted like we were a burden and really didn't want to serve us . She stated someone else was gonna be taking our order and in the meantime did get me a glass of water . We sat for about 10 mins before we were brought 2 dinner rolls while other tables received atleast 4. after another 10 mins of waiting she returned and finally took our order . No biggie we weren't in a hurry.. The food arrived and looked great. I ordered the single porkchop and paid extra for mashed potatoes that did not come out like I ordered . The porkchop had a very slight pink center but seemed done. I cut a few pieces and ate them. I was ready to get to the meat so I wanted to just have meat and not the bone attached . Well this is where the problem was . as I cut the meat away from the bone is was very very raw . Raw to the point it looked like it came straight out the packed and served to me. The original waitress never came back so I had to get the attention of another and pointed the raw pork. She looked as asked if I wanted them to put it back the fire .. Huh? Are you serious . I told them never mind and she asked if I wanted something else . I got something to go and well I won't be going back there . The original waitress didn't even come to apologize or check on us at all.Not even a manager was seen or came to us. What is going on at this Restaurant? read more

After eating here today, I understand why only 2 stars. The service was great, but the food quality has gone downhill, now for our second visit in 6 months. Last time here, my fish wasn't cooked through and there was way too much of it. This time the strawberry pecan salad is all dandelion looking weeds and no lettuce. No iceberg, no romaine and even no spinach. The pecans weren't glazed and there wasn't much chicken on it. If you're charging $14 for a salad, then put some dang chicken and lettuce in the bowl. My friend also had the salad and had the same opinion. Come on guys, you can do better than this!! read more

Yuc Yuc worst food ever some of that food. They served us look like it came out of the garbage can and the service wasn't much better. They should be ashamed of themselves. read more

This place sucks . Management and help don't care . And they care to respond to negative reviews only the good ones . They serve shitty food . I hope they go out of business . read more

Cotton Patch Cafe - Soggy ass fries. - American Near Me - Midland, Texas

One of the driest, tasteless meals I've ever had. Entire holiday plate was missing sauce of any kind. Their portion on sides is a joke. They forgot multiple items from order. Everything was cold. It's food you'd encounter coming across a dessert. Meatloaf gravy was ketchup marinara and the brown gravy was green. read more

I wish I could give this place ZERO stars. I've never in my life experienced worse service, and that's saying something for Midland. I ordered a to go order, and the clerk told me it would be 20-25 minutes. I get there at the 25 minute mark. She states it'll be another 8 minutes. 20 minutes later two customers have walked in, and walked away with their order. I finally question the clerk about when my order will be ready. She says, "let me go check on that for you." I wait an additional 15 minutes, and the clerk never walks back out. The lack of communication was OUTRAGEOUS. To add on to that, the two people who actually walked away with food walked back in because food they ordered was left out! They waited an additional 10 minutes inside simply because the staff wouldn't even acknowledge them. They already got paid right? So why care? Also two people who ordered on door dash canceled their order because they waited so long. One of the workers actually had the nerve to say, "damn impatient people!" Excuse me? People eat out because they expect good service. They expect YOU to do what you say you're going to do. Don't lie to us and tell us a certain wait time, and then have the audacity to say it's OUR problem we're upset because we're now waiting inside a restaurant for food that's way overdo. People order Togo and from door dash, Uber eats, etc- because they DONT feel like going out. Yet I just waited 50 minutes inside without so much as an apology for my food not being ready. This place SUCKS. I will never eat here again. I never actually got my food. I ended up walking out. Thank GOD I didn't pay in advance. This place needs new management and new staff. Maybe it should just be bull dozed over?! read more

Everything is great whether you dine in or carry out or have it delivered. They are efficient.

Cotton patch in Midland need to close and lock their doors. No food No alcoholic beverages No workers. Why would you have people to place orders just to come back and say we are out of that. My waiter was wonderful but if you dont have any thing to serve close up. Shout out to Edward who ran back and forth to see if they had anything. Shame on you Cotton patch close up already. read more

ordered pickup food was cold, poorly made, tasted bland. i do not recommend eating here. waste of money read more

This place has always been my go to for chicken fried chicken! I have never had any issues with my food or my families order. My favorite for lunch or dinner. I always ask to be seated with Stefani shes an amazing server she's sweet, friendly & efficient. And to mention they have every day specials is a plus! Another Win for Cotton Patch!! read more

I will say the food at this restaurant is scrumptious!!! And kudos to John for helping me with an order that DoorDash thoroughly messed up. John you are awesome!! Your customer service goes above and beyond expectation! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a truly authentic southern meal! This is only the second review I have ever written, I only write a review when I absolutely feel it's warranted. read more

We tried this place again and lo & behold same old stuff. The potato soup SUCKS! Come on people why do you serve that potato soup thick as pan cake mix? Is it old? Does anyone look at that pot ? Just take it off the menu & concentrate on other things then. The servers are great especially Jose so why make it hard on them for lack of business due to management decisions to serve that awful potato soup? Wake up people we notice we're not dumb!!!! read more

This place was recommended to me by the Fairfield hotel across the street. This and outback were so close, but it didn't seem right to go to outback when in Texas. I really liked the meal and the service here. It was good and the food was delicious! I was also blown away by how inexpensive it was! I had the Cajun duo and the crab sauce on it was fabulous. I started with the cheese soup. I'm not one to get soup from restaurants as I like it piping hot. I asked for it to be extra hot and it was! The house bread is to die for, ask for extra butter as it sure is delicious! It's casual in here but service is good and everyone is friendly! read more

Service was good and the food was tasty! The $7 luncheon menu is quite reasonable for oldsters. We also had burgers and fries delivered to our house....they were awesome. read more

We are short staffed is a great excuse if you really are!!!! I have waited over 25 minutes for a pre ordered order and still isn't finished. During my time I have watched kitchen staff watch football, and talk about how good the blizzards are in the back. I have had 5 people ask me about my order and gotten different answers each time. Yet none of them are wait staff that my friend is not short staffed. You can hear them having a great time in the back though so I guess as long as their priorities are straight. read more

Had this door dashed to the house this evening and the dasher was quick and friendly. The food? Not so much, when you order a side of onion rings you get 2 onion rings, I counted I got 7 French fries with my catfish. 7 fries?? Seriously?? The fully loaded baked potato was fully burnt. I'm sad to see that once such a well loved establishment has just apparently given up on good food and any type of QC. There are way too many options out here, a restaurant needs to be 100% all the time. Like my potato Cotton Patch, you burned me bad and therefore I won't ever be returning. Such a pity. Goodbye Burners of the Potato. read more

When we arrived, we were told that the wait was 30 minutes because they were short staffed. I'm familiar with trying to hire and retain people in this boomtown, and I totally understand their struggle. Fortunately, many of those before us didn't want to wait, so our time was much shorter than 30 minutes. Regardless, I appreciate the "under promise, over deliver" approach. The manager was super friendly and was running to manage the door, the floor and the kitchen. Once we were seated, our server was awesome. He was personable, knowledgeable, and very efficient. Food was just as we ordered and was served quickly. Our drinks stayed full, and we didn't have to wait for our check or to go desserts! I appreciate the excellent service even when the restaurant is busy and short staffed. Well done! read more

Don't waste your time or money. The food taste very bland and old. I ordered the chicken tenders and fries, because there's no way anyone can mess up that, right? Well I was proven so wrong! The chicken was bland and had the taste of old fryer oil. The fries were soggy and disgusting. The gravy they brought out to me had a thick crust over it. Absolutely abhorrent place that should not be opened let alone charge people for their so called "food". The floors are sticky as are the tables, the staff is nice enough but that definitely doesn't make up for the quality of everything else. Definitely stay away. read more

The food was horrible, my mashed potatoes were hard and cold and the chicken fried chicken was very salty, corn was mushy and flavorless. The sweet tea tasted old and not very good at all. Will not be coming back, the literal only thing that was alright were the fried pickles. Also French fries were old and cold as well. We came within an hour of opening so I'm not understanding the lack of freshness. read more

Well the order was right sorta. Ordered chicken fried chicken and a drink. To go. The food was fine no utensils came with the dinner to go. The sweet tea I ordered was unsweet. If you wanna feel like you're going to eat in the medieval ages go here instead. read more

We were greeted and sat very quickly. I had the catfish and my friend had the baked chicken. The catfish was pretty good. Cook failed to send out my hushpuppies. But the staff made it fun so it was a non issue! 3 stars was only due to the portion size relevant to the price. The servinings are small to say the least. Other than that I was a good time! read more

I want to thank Cotton Patch for thinking about and serving Veterans by providing a free delicious and nutritious meal. The staff--each staff member-- were courteous, professional, and eager to assist me. I realize that they do not have to do this, but they do, on an annual basis! That speaks of your heart to my heart. And, we Veterans, appreciate what you do. Keep up the good work! read more
