The food is good here. You can get sides with your meal and dessert. I like the butter cake, chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and green beans. It's like a Luby's but with a comfort food restaurant feel. read more

The Cotton patch Cafe located in Spring Texas has a great new manager that gives great care to the customers. The Restaurant is very clean, and the food is served fresh and hot. The waiters check to make sure all is good and if any refills are needed for their drinks. I do recommend their chicken fried steak and chicken dish. We had our Military Veterans club meeting as a lunch get together and we were well taken care of. We recommend Cotton Patch Cafe to all knowing you will love the food and service. They give large size amount of food in your orders. So, when you want a good meal to go to, Cotton Patch Cafe. My fellow service men, Army, Airforce, Navy, Marines, and Coast Guard recommends with pride. Rangers lead the way read more

Anytime you present "All You Can Eat" (AYCE) to me, you will have my attention. I was told they have AYCE Catfish on fridays... I'll be there. Cadillac queso - tasty. Chips and salsa were both freshly made. The salsa is really tasty and I felt like putting it on everything. Catfish was freshly fried and came with hushpuppies, fries and 2 sides of your choosing. Nothing had an outstanding flavor. Catfish was fried decently...and if they added seasoning, would have been beyond enjoyable. Second batch came out with seasoning and earned them the 4th star. Staff is very attentive and friendly. Place is moderate in size which includes a bar with 4 televisions. This place cooks their food fresh! Im certain I'll be back. read more

Only reason we went was because of a market coupon we got with an amazing burger on it. Well it comes to find out that burgers are not the food of choice here. The chef was yelling profanities while we were eating that the whole restaurant could hear, especially my children. Then when we finally got our food 30 minutes after sitting it was wrong. How do you put toast on a Avocado Burger? And the fries... Seasoned well but were so soggy even after I had them redo my order, which means changing the bread but not actually redoing the order. The kitchen staff is just lazy. Sorry Cotton Patch, this place is just not for me and my family. read more

Where do I start! First the positive: our waiter (Anthony) did his very best to take care of our needs drinks , taking our order etc. The food, our friend ordered Turkey and dressing, the turkey was undercooked to the "manager" came to our table looked/inspected the food before offering something else . Her sincerity is questionable , I felt it was though we had interrupted her just did not go over well with us. They brought out friends new dish out which was fair at best I ordered the fried flounder and fries, this by far was the most disgusting attempt at fried flounder I have tasted, the fish was mushy and was made to look like 3 BIG pieces; however The fish was very small i ( VERY LITTLE) in each portion. Each piece of battered fish was surrounded by a thick , very thick chunk of batter, a half inch on top and a thin line of fish with another half inch of batter in the bottom. I literally had to dig to find the fish which as previously noted was mushy. It was disgusting! It looked like a very nice restaurant on the outside, the inside also looked at last clean. Don't let the looks fool you, the food was disgusting, The service was so -so and whoever was the manager was very sub par. Do yourself a favor skip this place! read more

Clean and Texas cabin feel. Very friendly staff greeted us immediately. I ordered fried green tomatoes as appetizer and the chicken fried chicken with salad, mashed potatoes and jalapeno gravy. Waitress was Kaylee and she offered rolls. Glad I said yes. They were made from scratch, fresh from the oven and like grandma made at Thanksgiving. Her service was as good as the food and peach tea that was also awesome. Wife had chicken and dumplings with salad and fried okra. She was very happy we chose Cotton Patch as well. Said hers was delicious as well. We'll be back even though it's out of the way for us living in Conroe. read more

Rustic, rustic, rustic!! I'm not sure what is up with the bad reviews but here was my experience: I walked in and got sat at the bar (so it was instant) then the sweetest bartender/waitress Shelby, came instantly and asked my order and recommended the chicken fried bacon and warned to only eat two pieces since I don't each much fried foods. Omg! Two pieces was so good and she immediately brought me a box so I could put it away and not forgo my meal Shelby has great personality! Then a short wait and I got some REALLY good chicken and dumplings. I really liked the cinnamon apples, I could have had a whole plate of that! Great music, great decor and great EXCELLENT service! Thank y'all so much! My tummy is full, Shelby brightened my day! Loved it! read more

The food was excellent and Marley was an excellent server!!! Very on top of things and very friendly!!! Live this moment place!

The turkey and dressing was way below par. Okra seemed to be fried in old grease. Not good and the price high for what you get. Waiter was polite tho. read more

I ordered delivery from uber eats. I was craving a homey, southern meal. I ordered their chicken fried chicken with white gravy, garlic mashed potatoes, and mac and cheese. The person delivering my meal was nice enough to text me they were out of garlic mash. I was bummed. I opted for the broccoli and rice casserole. The cheese was too soupy, and the side portions were small. The chicken fried chicken was a good portion, and the breading was flavorful and crispy. Mac and cheese tasted ok. Dinner roll was soft. Not sure I would order from here again. read more

Cotton Patch Cafe - Delivery: Chicken fried chicken, broccoli and rice casserole, mac and cheese, and dinner roll.. they ran out of garlic mash :( - American Near Me - Spring, Texas

Oh boy I saw the bad reviews about curbside and risked it for a pre Thanksgiving turkey dinner which they ran out of and didn't tell me until I got there. On the bright side, someone came out as soon as I pulled up but another five minutes went by until the manager came and told me no turkey and offered me meatloaf and all the same sides. Meatloaf because it was quick she said. I couldn't stomach meatloaf and stuffing and cranberry sauce so I said how about grilled chicken. She said sure but it'll take a while. I'm still sitting here 20 some minutes later. Well, it went from bad to worse. Finally got the bag and both sides as well as the cranberry sauce were missing and no bread. I basically paid $15 for a TV dinner. It was just stuffing and gravy with chicken on top. Not inedible but definitely not worth the price for what I thought I would get. And I was so looking forward to trying the baked squash :( The pumpkin crunch dessert was a mushy pile of pumpkin pie puree with pecans in it and some what appeared to be raw cake batter mixed in. The only reason it gets two stars is because the service was sweet and kind. read more

Terrible place . Never got refills on drinks my mother had to go in the back to get our family refills . The food was old and heated up in microwave. Will never go back.

I'm pretty sure I got food poisoning. Didn't finish my meal. The waitress was kinda rude so I don't know if she was having a bad day. Never got a refill and every time we did ask for something we seemed like an inconvenience to the waitress and staff. The bathroom had piss on the floor so I had to aim like a water fountain to reach the urinal. Overall the experience was mid. Also random side note, the cups seemed dirty and not cleaned properly. read more

I ordered the food through Door Dash, so this is really not a full review being that I didn't go in to check out the ambiance and service. But, I ordered fried mushrooms, fries and burgers for my kids. The fried mushrooms had pretty good flavor. They contained a lot of water of course so if you don't eat them right away it will get soggy. Fries had good flavor, but due to the wait of getting the food they weren't crispy. My kids enjoyed the burgers. One with cheese and one without. Oh also, I tried some queso dip.. pretty good and the sauce that goes with the fried mushrooms was pretty good too. read more

I've never had a good experience here... But three weeks ago takes the cake! I placed a to go order and picked everything up I should've known it was gonna go south when the girl that brought out my order told me they were out of rolls... It's the cotton patch... No cornbread either? So I get everything home my Caesar salad was nothing but old lettuce no croutons no cheese nothing... I had ordered a loaded baked potato... All I got was a potato Rolled in salt.. No butter no cheese no sour cream, ordered a piece of carrot cake for dessert it was like a mini bite of carrot cake that they charged a ridiculous amount of money for! Called and spoke to the manager cat and she said that she would be reversing the transaction since our order was basically wrong .. followed up three weeks later after no refund to our account. She told my husband she would Call him back... we're still waiting on Cat to call back! I will be to speaking to my bank.... what a joke of a place and management. See pics below read more

My family of 5 was seated very promptly and the restaurant was clean. The waiter did come shortly after we were seated and took our drink order. We can tell that the waiter was new (which was fine). He forgot to leave straws and we did not receive any utensils. We had to ask for them when our appetizers came out. I do not recommend the Cheesy Bacon Fries, the plate itself is about 8 dollars. We were not empress; the plate looks like it was for an induvial size. (They look about the number of fries you would get when you order a small size from McDonalds). It was pathetic looking. My husband had to ask for the rolls that they bring to the table. The food itself was not bad. The kids waited an extra 5 minutes while a new batch of mac n cheese was being made. The middle of the Mac n cheese was cold, and they had to take it back to warm it up. read more

I compare Cotton Patch to a Cracker Barrel, minus the store to shop in. The food is nothing to brag about. Our waitress was ok. She forgot to get my sons order. But, she was trying. I can appreciate the effort. The chicken fried bacon is good. I do recommend trying that. They had nice weekday lunch deals. The food was not piping hot. My chicken and dumplings were luke warm. read more

HUGE FAILURE TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT INCOMPETENT EMPLOYEES due to BAD LEADERSHIP/MANAGEMENT Y'all deserve no stars!! Ordered food online and when we received it, it was wrong. Instead of calling and letting us know they were out of items, they chose to supplement the order. When we called restaurant to notify them, they referred us to the delivery service to correct the problem rather than correcting their poor decision. read more

I went here for my grandmas birthday as a nice home cooked meal sort of thing and i was disappointed unfortunately, for instant they have a teen or child working as a server so she refused to have us order any alcohol. Then i could hear the manager screaming in the back near food saying how we should realize she is underage and can't serve alcohol which it's like OK? Then the manager should take into her own hands to serve us some? As for the food it was just meh very much meh. Ambiance is also meh considering the manager screaming was not very fun for my grandmas birthday. Would not be coming back very soon. read more

Never my first choice for lunch anyway because the food and service isn't the best. My husband usually likes the CFS so I'll tolerate occasionally. Today the food was horrible and the husband agreed. CFS was still red inside, broccoli/rice casserole was watery and I asked for bacon bits and got a clump of bacon grease. Even the manager said that was unacceptable. They were definitely WAY off today! Husband is going to have to find another CFS. read more

My wife and I have been Cotton Patch customer for over 20 years, and the Denison TX store for 15 years. Please understand that in general we love Cotton Patch. This review is specific to our recent deliver orders through Door Dash. This review is not a reflection on Door Dash is specific the how Cotton Patch is handling its delivery orders. For context, most descent restaurants have a person called an Expediter that is the final quality control check person that makes sure your order is plated up right and matched your order ticket before the server brings your order to the table for you to enjoy. Cotton Patch has someone that does this task for dine-in orders. However, they do NOT have a proper Expediter watching over delivery and pick-up orders. EVERY order we have placed with Cotton Patch, through Door Dash, in the past 2 years has had something wrong with it. The errors have ranged from small things like not getting out rolls and butter that come with all entrees, to missing ice cream that come with some desert items, to desert item that are suppose to be warm (or at least thawed to room temp) arriving frozen solid as a hockey puck, to entrees they were not what we ordered at all, to missing side and even missing entrees altogether. Door Dash has been kind enough to offer a few refund as have been appropriate. I have called and spoken to the managers on duty at the Denison TX Cotton Patch every time. They have confirmed that they do not have an actual Expediter working delivery and pick-up orders. They only have 'the girl working the pick-up orders' who was 'suppose to check the order before it left.' Cotton Patch has offered to send us coupons for free meals to use in-store. We have refused and stated that we simply want to problem fixed so that we can have a reasonable and reliable expectation that an order will arrive the way we ordered it. Cotton Patch: please fix it! read more

The food was pretty good this time around. The corn bread was sweet and filled with corn kernels. The butter doesn't add much flavor. The chicken fried steak was hot and crunchy. The broccoli rice casserole tastes like usual broccoli rice casserole. The baked squash was different than usual. It was soft, but the outside was also dry. I liked the different textures but wonder if it's the usual texture or if it was dry this day. read more

Cotton Patch Cafe - Supposed to be fried green tomatoes - American Near Me - Spring, Texas

So I was looking for something new on Uber Eats, but this was disappointing. It's not worth the prices. The skillet cornbread was burnt and hard. The 6oz. Sirloin was not well done, like requested. The grilled tenders were but I requested two flavors, only got one. The brisket street tacos did not come with the queso, salsa and guacamole like it said it would. The cinnamon apples were basically apple pie filling, not real baked cinnamon apples. The black The preparation of the food was not good at all. Didn't follow directions, under cooked the steak. The blackeyed peas and broccoli and rice were goods and the garden side salad. The ranch dressing was good too. I don't think I'll be trying this place again. read more

Horrible experience. Extremely I understaffed and waited way too long to even get seated. Once we sat down, we noticed the whole placed smelled unclean. Then the waitress told the people next to us they were out of many items. After that we decided it wasn't going to be worth the wait. read more

i ordered delivery, specifically a caesar salad with salmon for the protein. once it got here they totally skipped out on the $9 salmon.. i tried calling once but they picked up and then hung up the phone.. rude. i called again and this time the manager was pleasant, told me they were actually closed so i couldn't come pick up the fish and that i should keep the ticket and retrieve the salmon when they're open. i'm totally gonna do that because you're not about to rob me for $9 i ordered 30 min before closing, i get that it's annoying to serve customers before closing but i work hospitality too. there should be no excuse, and you should serve food right until closing. maybe double check orders next time, if it was something small i would've let it slide but this was the main part of the meal!! cmon read more

Very good fresh food. My shrimps were moist and tender, fish was fried perfectly . Salad and chicken dumplings soup was very tasty. My husband love their meatloaf and potato soup . Ashley was very nice and checking on us all the time. We were there for lunch on 10-31-2022 The only thing I would like to suggest , to add less salt to the fish batter and shrimp , also if you can add a couple of lemon wedges to the fish platter will help in case fish is a little too salty ( it might be me , I tend not too add too much salt to my food) . We definitely will return soon read more

I was finally able to make it to Houston's 1st Cotton Patch location. I thought coming here would bring back a few memories from college, since I was lucky to have the original location in my college town where I dined frequently. I always thought the Nac location was lively and homey. However, the Spring location was anything but and instead the atmosphere was pretty dismal, dull and stale. Just visit and see what I mean. The food was decent, cfs was a good size, but the poor service will be remembered forever. Being seated was a chore. The hostess didn't seem to be doing a good job at all since I was the first party that arrived and then about 5-6 other parties showed up right afterward. All the parties were left at the front waiting unnecessarily for at least 15 minutes on a slow night. We could all see several tables open or needing to be cleaned, but nobody was wanting to clean the tables I guess. Finally someone came to assist her since she obviously didn't know how to seat guests. I always seem to get the best and brightest waiters when dining out. My waiter seemed new and unsure of himself. He tried to argue with me right from the beginning about the Monday night CFS special saying they weren't offering that promotion anymore. Not the best way to get brownie points from a paying customer. There were a few other awkward moments when he was either refilling my drink or asking to remove a plate. When he goes and gets the bill, unknowing to him, the computer automatically recognizes the date as a Monday and charges the correct pricing. The chicken fried steak was large and the breading wasn't too much like some other places. The meat pretty much comes to the edge all the way around. I will say the ends which were thinner were slightly overcooked and chewy. But overall, a good cfs. Sign up for the e-club and receive a free appetizer which can be used on your very 1st visit. I chose the deep-fried beef ribs, which were just alright. Not sure what I was thinking when ordering these. I asked for the jalapeno gravy for my cfs but they were out of it. I won't even go into detail about how the server never brought out any plates for the rolls or the appetizer. I guess he expected everyone to eat with their hands? All in all, I probably won't be back anytime soon. In fact, I recommend Neal's about 1/2 mile away for a better chicken fried steak. read more

I give this place five stars if I could I would give them 10. I really love the atmosphere and I have a favorite server I'm pretty sure her name is Victoria (Vicky) She is awesome and always takes care of my family. We eat here several days a week when we want to get away from eating fast food. They have specials every day of the week that are affordable and also kids eat free on certain days. My favorite meal as you can see is the ribeye. The chicken fried chicken is also a great deal and you get a big portion especially the kids size portions they are super big. Last time I was in there I was kind of disappointed because Vickys coworkers were being rude and disrespectful towards her and while guest were in the restaurant. A Tall blonde and a tall man had a ugly disrespectful attitude. They were loud and rude shouting out things about the company policy because Vicky was new and apparently she wasn't doing good in their eyes but Vicky your awesome and did a great respectful job while ignoring the rude comments. Your definitely a very professional and great waitress can't wait to see you next week. One a Serious note they never know who's in that restaurant and need to learn how to have better manners and Learn how to help a coworker instead of putting her down and trying to threaten her out loud in front of customers. But besides that I love the restaurant and the food is so good and has great flavor. They also have funnel cake fries and they are so good and if your not sure what your second side will be you can choose the funnel cake fries. They are delicious. read more

Cotton Patch Cafe - Comfort food....i can just feel my arteries clogging,but this is The South,so.... - American Near Me - Spring, Texas

We are new to Texas and wanted to try Cotton Patch Cafe. I was hesitant to try this restaurant based on some poor service reviews but the food sounded good so we took a chance. Let me begin by saying I'm not sure about other's experiences but we had a very good experience at the restaurant. Hailey was a great server! She had great knowledge of the food. We wanted to try everything and she was very accommodating with kindness the entire time. We will definitely be back. On a side note... and other time we did get cornbread to go and I would recommend they maybe add a basket paper buffer so that the bread doesn't move around too much and break up in the To-go container read more
