Cotton Patch is a good place for some "home cooking." This is a place where chicken friend steak is probably one of there highest selling dishes. I really enjoy Cotton Patch because they have a very diverse menu from quesidillas, sandwiches, burgers, and some awesome desserts. The pie they have is a must with a large scoop of ice cream. The sides have a large choice of things you would have from home. I would have to advise you not to go late at night, they tend to use old dinner salads and hard rolls. read more

Great place to eat! Food was delicious. Staff was extremely courteous! Will definitely be back soon. read more

Cotton Patch Cafe - American Near Me - Nacogdoches, Texas

This was my first time at the Cotton Patch and I can't say it will be my last. Whenever I am in a place that is somewhat like Denny's or Golden Nugget, I am very tempted to get the Chicken Fried Steak. It's the comfort food of my young days in Texas and I always get it with the same 2 sides, mashed potatoes, and corn. This place most likely made the BEST Chicken Fried Steak I've ever had. It was fluffy and crisp at the same time, the gravy didn't have sausage in it, and the potatoes were not from powder. The portion was huge, so I would advise to share it. read more

Traditional American Food, very delicious! They have a lot of space and it's great for dinner or lunch. Everybody is really friendly and the prices on the Menu are average. Always a pleasure to eat there! read more

Under Covid19 we ordered to pick up from Cotton Patch, We chose two of our alltime favorite meals. They were delivered to the car on time and hot. Our only problem is that the employee did not wear a mask as ordered by the Governor and city. The food was great and plentiful just what we ordered read more

We have ate here several times and always disappointed. Tonight we ordered our meal to go for pickup and they forgot part of the food. Need to eat somewhere else. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. I have lived in Nacogdoches for 23 years and have been a regular customer at Cotton Patch. My family and I came out tonight to celebrate my birthday. I ordered chicken breast which came with rice and two sides. My food comes out last and there is no rice at all. I asked the waitress where my rice was and she replied oh, we are out of rice. Next, the manager comes to the table and asks can she get me another side or do I want to wait 30 mins for some rice. I agreed to waiting and after at least 45 mins I still have no rice. My family is finished eating and ready to go at this point. Not once did anyone including the manager say I am sorry for the inconvenience. I am usually very understanding but today was just ridiculous. I was very disappointed in how I was treated. I would suggest going anywhere else and I will be taking my business elsewhere. read more

One of my favorite places when visiting my daughter at SFA. Some of the best fried pickles I've ever had (and I've had a lot). Staff is always attentive and friendly. The only thing I've ever regretted about dining here is that it's so good I eat too much. read more

I'll start out by saying this place is amazing!! I'm in Nacogdoches from California for work and I've been here at least twice a week this past month. If you're looking for a southern comfort food, you've found the one so stop your searching. I've tried multiple items off their menu and I was amazed by all of them. The whole staff is amazing and very friendly. I'm not the type to leave reviews that often, but the Cotton Patch definitely deserves all the attention. I'll definitely be making more stops before I leave! Hope this review helps you while deciding on a place to eat! read more

Wonderful food, amazingly friendly servers, and wonderful, infinitely talented managers. Wonderful restaurant, Cotton Patch is a place you must stop hybat least once. read more

I have to disagree with the previous reviews. This place is pretty much a glorified Shoney's/Cracker Barrell...you get the point. Very greasy, unhealthy, frozen food. I understand that a lot of folks in Nac may like it but if you have a palate that is just a bit more used to better quality food then I suggest you go elsewhere. We went there because everyone told us it was really good but that was not the case at all. The only non-fattening thing I was able to order was the grilled chicken sandwich, no mayo or bacon or cheese and they still managed to butter the bun up. My friend ordered the salmon and it was clearly not fresh and definitely undercooked. If cholesterol, high fat/calorie content is not a concern to you then you should be very well satisfied. read more

Showed up with a party of 12 on a Saturday night unannounced to a busy restaurant. Jamie seated us promptly in a friendly professional manner. Appetizers were served quickly and hot. Food was served spot on to entire group. Many on service staff filled glasses and were attentive. Jamie was our server and we kept her busy. She was great. Will come back if in town. read more

Original and the best. Despite what some "delicate tastes" may lead you... if you want real food and not a froo-froo sandwich, go here.

I am a vegetarian , not many veggie options available! But still decent food, good service, very humble people. Dr. Pepper chocolate cake with icecream is a must try!! It's so good!! I can go back a million times just to have that!! It would be nicer if they have more vegetarian options for people like me! Over all: I would recommend it!! Go with ur family, friends or alone! You will enjoy!! read more

This place isn't bad! It is a great place to come to get home-stlyed food! We started off with the Bacon, Cheese fries and they were pretty good. For my meal I got there potato soup and it wasn't very good! There mac and cheese as a side is pretty good though! My brother got the steak and shrimp and it was much better! So it all depends on what you get! read more

Thanks Angie Z for commenting. I HIGHLY doubt anything would change. Just basically a waste of money for what I received.

It's really good for what it is, which is southern cooking. Certainly better than places like Cracker Barrel. LOVE the bacon cheese fries. Being gluten free since I was four, I don't have many options here... That is the only sad part. I usually end up getting a hamburger. I'd get a salad but I do not like the salads here. read more

We were in town looking for a good dinner for the family. Walked in, no wait for a party of 6. I had the chicken fried steak, it was great and the gravy was awesome. Bacon cheese fries were a nice appetizer also. Our waitress Dena was outstanding! read more

Been 4-5 times and it usually doesn't disappoint. Wide variety of options and great sweet tea!

Good American fare at a very good price. I have the chicken fried chicken with fried okra and green beans. The food was definitely done any good southern style. There were plenty of seats and they waitstaff was very attentive. If you want a healthy choice for your meal they have them as well. read more

A friend and I ordered two medium rare steaks here, waitress repeated the order no problem. Both of our steaks came out well done. We sent them back, second one comes out literally raw. My boyfriend ordered a cheeseburger with no onions, of course it came out with onions all in it. I was not impressed, didn't even eat. read more

Stopped by here on our way from Houston to Oklahoma. We had been before when our daughter attended SFA and don't recall it being as bad a it was today. Our waiter was just ok, a bit on the cocky side but oh well. My biggest complaint was the a/c. It was full blast on either side of us and I was shaking and covered with goosebumps the entire meal. We did ask if the air could be turned up, the waiter said his manager would take care of it but I don't believe it ever happened. On to the food. Not good. My chicken sandwich was bland and had way too much cheese on it. My husband's chicken tenders were flavorless as well. The person sitting by us sent her salad back, stating it was not fresh. I like some home cooking but prefer it to be good. read more

Used to be excellent but really starting to cut corners lately. Some of the staff are great and really care about what they do. But the ones that don't are bringing the place down. One particular negative beef I've got: they used to put a container of good butter with the to-go rolls, now it's some 'golden harvest' processed junk. I love Cotton Patch for serving food like granny makes, but granny would never use golden harvest. Come on now y'all. read more

Everything was delicious from the fried pickles starter to the dr. Pepper chocolate cake dessert. Our waitress (Dena) was super friendly and attentive. Great little place in Nacogdoches. read more

Really dropped off the last year. It's a shame because other CPs are still good. This was the original. Food has been tasting like it comes from a can or box not fresh cooked. They had a good deal on burgers for awhile. Now that it's over no real good reason to go back. read more

BEWARE .....BEWARE.......BEWARE......BEWARE!!!!! The worst experience!!!!!! BEWARE!!!!!!! We stopped in after dropping our son off at SFA, Mother's Day 2016, 9:15pm. We ordered two salads, fried green tomatoes, pickles, grilled vegetables,fish tacos, and chips and salsa. The salmon salad and the Cobb salad. The Cobb salad came with bacon. In place of the bacon, the cook cleaned his griddle off and put that grease CRAP in a little black container into the salad, to pass it off as bacon . I asked the waitress what that was, she said "its bacon". I then asked her "would you eat that". She said "I would have to taste it". I said "taste it"!!!?! She said "I don't know what that is". She took it back to the kitchen, and then I heard the cook say that "this is all we have". I cook at my house right, and I know whAt skillet grease crap is, And so did he. I threatened to take a photo of it and the waitress quickly took it to the kitchen manager. And he sent back to the table cold bacon bits. At the point my husband was too concerned about what they might have done with his meal. He generously told the waitress that he was going to pay for the rest of the meal but not the Cobb salad. We packed up and left. BEWARE .....BEWARE.......BEWARE......BEWARE!!!!! read more

My Mom ordered the Chicken Fried Steak, too tough. I ordered the Dinner portion Catfish, Not enough Catfish, I mean, I paid $10.99 for the Dinner Portion and I got a Large Plate of Fries, 2 fillets, each about the size of a deck of cards and broccoli cheese and rice casserole,(I could not find any broccoli,) about 3 ounces. The catfish was very tender, almost too tender, I tried to move 1 of my fillets to my Mom's plate and it just fell apart. If your going for Catfish, wait till the , "All you can eat". I feel i got ripped off for what I paid. My wife ordered the Pork chops, They were Perfect. Overall opinion, Not really worth the money to me, Hell, I cook just as good for a lot less money, I think I will start staying Home more and doing more of my own Cooking. read more
