Quite possibly the worst service and attitude of any waiter and management team ever! Spent around 20 minutes waiting for a table (not bad for Midland) then sat for another 20 at a table with no one even attempting to take a drink order or our food order! Finally was told by a waiter that we weren't his table but he would wait on us! 15 minutes later we had drinks, no bread and still haven't gotten to order yet! After 15 more minutes we finally ordered our food, 50 minutes after we sat down! Things went downhill from there it took over 45 minutes to bring our food, had to ask for our Salads three times before we got them! Half the food was cold when it came out and some of it was wrong! Found out from the manager when we complained that our waiter was busy waiting on His own family at another table and we would just have to wait! Cotton Patch used to be one of my favorite places in Midland! I was told they were under new management, I am guessing it will be under no management if they keep up the same attitude that we saw today! read more

Ordered chickenfried steak, the menu said it's really big but when we received it, their was more plate than steak never seen such an empty plate. Honestly thought it was a jr. meal at a adult size price. read more

Great service and clean establishment. The menu has a variety of entrees to order. Their strawberry pecan salad with grilled chicken is wonderful! read more

Cotton Patch Cafe - Strawberry pecan salad with grilled chicken! - American Near Me - Midland, Texas

I've lived here for a couple of years and we finally decided to come here. I'm so glad we did! The food was good and we got exceptional service. Our server, Kaci, was very attentive and nice. Best service we have received in town! The onion strings were tasty and the badder was very flavorful. The mushrooms were too breaded and I couldn't really enjoy the mushrooms as much as I would had liked. The country fried steak was good but a little too much breading as well. The sweet potatoes fries were delicious along with the chicken sandwich :) This place gets a 5 because the service was pretty awesome. If it were solely on the food it would had gotten a 4. I can't wait to return so I can venture out on some of the other food items. read more

Paco was so nice and the food was amazing. We did wait 30 mins for a table but it was worth it!

We have often dined at this cafe and always were satisfied with the service. The food is always good. However, the last time we were there it was over crowded with no social distancing observed. Our young waiter was the only one of the wait staff wearing a face mask. Not sure if a manager was on that night or not, but wasn't a responsible one at any rate. We will not return until it's safe, maybe not even then. read more

Cotton Patch is solid. Good food, good service and good rolls! We always enjoy family meal from time to time at this spot.

The food is great and good costumer service I love the chicken fried steak,they get really busy so I recommend you to go as soon as they open (11am) read more

Horrible. Our order was completely wrong and the response was "well this is Midland it's hard to find good help".. they don't care about their customers, the competence of people they hire or their service quality. Spend your money literally anywhere else. read more

Food is great. My only complaint is that the peach cobbler could have been cooked a little bit longer. Will definitely go back though!

Very slow service if you are lucky enough to get seated. Last night wasn't the case. Waited over 20 min at the door and NO ONE even spoke to us until we initiated the conversation. Asked to speak to management and when he finally came out we were walking out the door. He was quick to act as if we were the problem and no one in the restaurant did anything wrong. 3rd time to attempt to eat at Midland location..... first time we left with coupons because of a rude waitress, 2nd time service was no better service wise, gave it a 3rd time and never made it to the table. It would be understandable if they were busy, but that wasn't the case. And didn't really seem to care that we were upset. Won't be a 4th try in Midland. read more

Definitely recommend this restaurant! Our Server was absolutely wonderful very attentive knowledgeable and made the overall experience a wonderful one. Food was wonderfully delicious. Everything was on point! If you get the chance to stop in to this restaurant make sure you ask for Jerome! Wonderful guy best experience I have had with service in Midland. Great job to all the other staff! Keep up the great job and you will surely see me next time. read more

I ordered online tonight at 6:19pm. My order was supposed to be ready at 6:47pm. I came in a little early paid for my order. It is now 7:13 no food. When I got here there was no else in line at the to go. Now there are 8 of us. Somehow two people that were not here just got their orders. This place is crazy! No luck on getting food through the online order device. Waiting... another order just came out door dash... 7:17pm. Wow! Real time reporting here in Midland, Texas! Waiting... chain restaurants- no good. Waiting... 7:20pm no food! Manager is getting involved now. Waiting.... 7:24 no food! More door dash waiting now. Waiting... someone got food - what... Waiting... 7:27. The manager just figured out I have already paid out. No food. At least she is freaking out. Waiting... 7:30pm. New people in line - run now! Hopefully my chicken is fully cooked. Waiting... 7:32. Someone else after me just got food! Waiting... no bags for to go anymore... Waiting... 7:35. One more person got their food. Crazy! Waiting... 7:38. No business running a online order business!! Not going to even comp my food?? Just asked. Waiting... They just bought me a beer. Nice of them. Can't take it with me. Waiting... 7:42pm. Food!! 60 minutes later. Hope it's good! read more

Outstanding service today!! Manager (Craig) and waitress (Ashley) absolutely on point. All staff very friendly. It was busy but things moved very quickly and efficiently. Food was delicious! Highly recommend!!!! If you've had a bad experience in the past, PLEASE come give it another try. You won't be disappointed! read more

Had a great time with my girlfriend this past weekend! We had the Cajun duo and fish tacos, and they were amazing! We will definitely be back for the amazing food that we had, and the great service! read more

Ordered two salads to go a little before noon and it took almost an hour for them to be ready. Took almost 10 minutes for someone to approach me to see if I had been helped. I've always like Cotton Patch before but I think this might be enough to keep me away or it will be a long while before I try it again. read more

Here's my few cents worth: this place needs to get their act together. Big time. From a seasoned restaurant pro, the service is shit and slow as molasses. I've run more people and tables on a midday lunch rush than this lazy excuse for a server and done it with ease. Save your $$ and just go to Cracker Barrel. Can't give 0 stars or I would. Ps management: do some hiring. read more

Bad food bad service and expensive. My husband and I ordered the Cajun fish and we both got sick. Another two people of our party got sick as well. The mushed potato was old and smelly. Also the server didn't know what he was doing, mixed up the checks and orders, extremely slow. Overall it was a very bad experience in this restaurant and definitely won't come back again. read more

It's a great place for some homestyle food. My wife loves the catfish and thinks the tarter sauce is the best she's ever tasted. I usually go with the fried shrimp or chicken fried steak, both are very good (the fried shrimp puts Red Lobster to shame). My only complaint is that they would give you a little more of their wonderful bacon flavored green beans. But what ever you do don't leave without trying the Dr. Pepper Chocolate Cake....it's very good! read more

Me and my son went to have dinner at the cotton patch cafe, we were waiting to be seated standing there and some people came in behind us and sat down. The hostess looked past us ignoring us and asked the lady behind us if she had been seated first... The lady told her we were there first. She rolled her eyes and said just 2 then. We left, we have never been treated so badly. read more

Pretty good, I wouldn't avoid it. Pretty average as far as fare goes.

This place by far the best! Great service ..speedy service and fantastic food!!! So so impressed..

I really hate giving bad yelp reviews but my husband and I did not have a good experience at all! We have been wanting to try cotton patch cafe for some time now so we finally decided to have dinner there. First coming in the atmosphere was great. We were seated quickly and our waiter came over immediately. I love to be tended to quickly but we didn't even get a chance to grab our menus before he asked what we wanted to drink. Then he asked if we wanted any appetizers..... we didn't even touch our menus yet and he didn't even think to offer a few favorites or tell us some options. Then 10 minutes pass before he comes and tells us he is out of the beer we ordered. It took 10 more minutes to get our beers. We placed our orders in between then he comes back and says they are out of ribs and just sets the menu on the table and asks what we want instead. Our waiter talked so low it was very hard to even hear him. After all of this our food took over 30 minutes to come out and the food was just okay. The manager came by half way through our visit and to be honest was the only good experience we had there. We will not be back unfortunately but with so many good reviews on yelp please judge for yourself. read more

Very bad service. Old, not well cooked food, 5 out of 9 persons that were with us got sick, that include me. Vomited it all.

We were seated immediately, by very patient staff, even though the place looked very busy. Our table was close by one of twelve people, who weren't seemingly very happy. Despite that, all of the staff members were kind towards them, and everyone else They had a cheery and friendly attitude, and the atmosphere was exquisite. All of the tables were very clean, and the food was absolutely delicious and filling, with great portions for a reasonable price. I would definitely go here again, and recommend it to anyone looking for great food. read more

Absolutely horrible service. Never got to order. After waiting 10 full minutes waiting to be seated (there were very few people in the restaurant). The 2 couples in front of me complained while the staff was too busy watching TV in the bar to even acknowledge us. After finally getting seated I watched as 2 tables seated after me got served first. read more

For goodness sake hire some wait staff!!!' The wait was ridiculous for the amount of people there, not busy or crowded.... the Chicken Friend Steak was worse~ did not get my salad, I made two request and they delivered it. Best thing about it was our server, she was good, too good to be working here. read more

One of the best places to eat for value. Always very good and service has always been very fast.Sometimes you have to wait a little bit for second round of bread because it is very fresh out of oven... worth the wait. read more

This place had really gone down. They've remodeled and tried to make you think it's even better but it's not. The service was really bad. We waited 20 minutes for silverware and a napkin. Even after we received our appetizers and asked for at least a napkin. Finally our waiter went and rolled our silverware. Food was ok. Just not the same as it was in the past. Probably won't go back, at least for awhile. read more

I've been here once before, the menu has heavy southern comfort foods and some hearty salads. I ordered the shrimp ceaser salad, well other than the so-so service, the food was unappetizing. There was hair in my food and the silverware was dirty and one of my shrimp was raw(I found this out after I chomped down on it). Yuck, I will not eat there again. Oh yeah, they lost their liquor license(thumbs down)! read more

Hello fellow yelpers this is a review on cotton patch cafe in Midland Texas and all I can say is this place is awesome I love their chicken fried chicken or the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes greens and their appetizers are pretty decent too the only thing that I do not like about this place is that it's very very crowded the seating very close together you have really no room to maneuver in between the tables but for what they like and that they make up in the excellent food and the excellent wait staff and courteous waitresses I would highly recommend this place read more

My family and I always love eating here. The steaks always taste great when I order mine. The staff are always so friendly and make sure that we are taken care of and that we enjoy our visit. read more

Visited today around 630 ish it was good we got in pretty fast and sat our food was good and hot the only con was that our waitress was young and couldn't keep up with the request we made like can we get a box ASAP not 10 mins from the time we say.. she again was young so I tipped her normally I would tip a poor server. Will return and hopefully I get someone with experience. read more

We love their food and used to eat there nearly every sunday but for the last year we have noticed a smell when we try to eat there. Sometimes it is not too bad and we can stay and eat but most of the time as soon as we walk through the second set of doors the smell of sewage makes us sick to our stomach. We don't understand how other people or the workers can stand to be in there when it smells so bad. We noticed when it first started that there was a ladies restroom out of order and we know they had a leak from an air conditioner vent that would drip on one of the booths so maybe it is from one of those problems but whatever it is needs to be fixed because we were loyal customers and they have lost us due to the SMELL! read more

Yesterday a group of us went to Cotton Patch. We were seated promptly. I had Diet Coke, but all others had tea. Their tea was Very dark & cloudy. They all asked for water & ice to dilute it. As they were waited on, their tea refills were also very strong, so that more water had to be ordered to thin it. They never did just correct the problem. My food was fine, but two of my friends got chicken tenders. They were burned and VERY salty. They sent those meal back. The rest of us had almost finished our lunch before the replacement food arrived. I went and fussed at the manager. When their second set of chicken tenders arrived it was also overcooked, and my friend said it tasted like the grease was old. They could not eat the food at all. The manager comped their lunch, and comped the others' iced tea. The nightmare was the confusion the server had with the tickets. It took us 1 1/2 hours to get out of there, and two had never gotten to eat. Last of all they offered us free dessert, but we had actually watched a chocolate cake be sent back to the kitchen from another table. I will not be going back. read more

Cotton Patch Cafe - This is replacement for the burned, salty, fishy tasting chicken tenders. Both friends didn't have lunch. - American Near Me - Midland, Texas

Two of us went here this past Saturday around 2:30 pm we walked in and waited for 15 minutes NO ONE WAITED ON US!! How rude! Naturally we left and went to another restaurant where we were greeted as we came in sorry cotton patch if I could give you 1/2 star I would read more

Not one to leave reviews about places or managers. But we ordered 8 plates and drinks for lunch. Didn't get any drinks nor vegetables. Call and spoke to a manager with nothing resolved because "i yelled at him"... no Will, i wont drive 30 minutes from our place of employment to pick up a box of vegetables and drinks because YOUR employees forgot to check. Not to mention, we didn't get the money back for the food and drinks we didn't receive but we we're charged TWICE for 100$, due to the fact that they cant seem to get their ordering right over the phone and online. Hopefully corporate fixes this. And no a gift card doesn't suffice for shitty food that wasn't even up to par the first time. 1 star for me and all my hungry co workers :( read more

Solid place for home style eats. Decor is nice. Service was above average for Midland standards. Food was pretty good. Queso was really tasty. Fried chicken and chicken fries steak highly recommended. Not a must stop but a good option. read more

Terrible service waiting and waiting tonight had full staffed. Waitress kept passing us. We left after everyone's was waited on. I know I guest noticed we were being ignored. Lost my business. read more

Horrible experience. Ordered online it said my order would be ready in 25 minutes. Waited an hour at the restaurant for my food. When I was given my food I checked it and several things were missing from the order.. had to wait even longer. My cobbler was ice cold/semi-frozen. I will never be back. read more
