Blazingly, quick greeting, and service, we had the lunch special today, on Monday, and it was chicken fried steak. I'm usually not a big fan of chicken fried steak, but this one was hot, tender, crispy on the outside, and perfect! They make the best mashed potatoes in the world, they leave the skins on them and they are great! That PLUS wonderful string beans with chopped bacon inside, there's nothing better for lunch at this price, $9.99! We also got a nice unsweet, Arnold Palmer, our waitress, Charles, Brought us a charger for our telephone because I had one getting very low. And they smiled all the way, I left him a great big tip, and I love this place! They're also very good to my dog, 60 pound bulldog on a leash, who sat in the booth with us and was greeted as politely as a person. We will be back many many times. read more

Cotton Patch Cafe - Clean plates mean happy customers! - American Near Me - Stephenville, Texas

We usually come here and eat every time we go to Stephenville- this will be the last time based on their stupid policy!!! My Change portion was .24 and no that's not much but the waitress kept it and told me when I asked that it's their policy to keep the change if under .50- I call BULLSHIT!!!! They just lost a customer. Not much money but that is robbery if they are taking peoples money free!!! We don't get free money and they sld not expect to get free money either!!!! Not by robbing folks like that!!! read more

Cotton Patch Cafe - Price on receipt and change due! - American Near Me - Stephenville, Texas

Great comfort food. They didn't try to make it fancy, just kept it simple. It was really good!

The lemon herb salmon was delicious! Our server checked on us enough, but not so much that it was annoying. She was sweet, funny, smiling, and sociable. I love their steamed broccoli. It was very clean. read more

HUGE RAVE TO THE COTTON PATCH CAFE AND OUR SERVER ELLIE! My beloved bride, and I made a last-minute decision to have a nice meal at the Cotton patch Café, a place that never seems to disappoint. The young lady who seated us and subsequently waited on us is a young woman named Ellie with a beautiful smile and bubbly personality. I have been a lover of peach tea since I learned that it existed several years ago. Upon learning that cotton patch serves it, I ordered that to drink. That is without a doubt, the absolute best PT that I have ever drank in my life! And Ellie made it! My wife and I ordered our meals and they were served promptly and efficiently. Each time would check to see if we needed anything - which was often - we would engage her in further conversation. Servers like Ellie work for peanuts as far as hourly wages go. They survive on tips. There is a rumor that servers will not have to pay taxes on tips much longer, and I hope that's the case. The service was outstanding, the waitress an unfettered Joy, and she was tipped generously. And for the record, I tip with cash and it's none of the government's business how much. ELLIE is an absolute ROCK STAR! Thank you, Ellie, and thank you, Cotton patch Café read more

Ms. Charlsey treated me and my guest with the utmost dignity, personally serving our table with professional courtesy and conversation. She was a breath of fresh air in a service-less society of entitled brats. Thank you so much! read more

I was visiting town for Thanksgiving and took my mom here that weekend. We were sat and our waiter was very friendly and I enjoyed chatting with him. The food was seemingly good but after we left and later that night I got extremely bad food poisoning from eating here. My mom was fine. So I wonder what kind of nasty conditions are in the kitchen or did the cook do something to my food? I'm very disappointed and very upset and it ruined my holiday weekend. And as a disabled man it caused me some medical issues. I might need to consider calling the health department it was so bad. read more

Went and ordered a ribeye steak, which I might add that it was a 12oz, and includes 2 sides for 19.99!! . I am VERY picky as to how my steak is cooked and they did it with perfection! Our little waitress was very spot on too! read more

Most uncomfortable chairs anywhere!!! Changed menu to look cheaper but actually most are same price as they eliminated say the standard grilled chicken from their Big Ol Cobb Salad $9.99 plus $3 grilled chicken still equals $12.99 same as always. Why not just actually go down on prices rather than fake it? Also, sometimes we can sit at a booth with a high chair and other times we are stuck in these crap-tastic hard wooden chairs. Bring in a group and they cram everyone together where no one on the back row can move or get out. Service is normally pretty good except on Sunday when it takes double time to get food. Oh and high chairs are still broken and in bad condition- nothing has changed in two years! Food today was off in flavor- chicken fried steak breading was bitter tasting like too much baking soda or old oil. The salad I had - the avocado had turned, the tomatoes were very sour, and the ranch tasted off -- it's a meal I get almost every visit and is normally pretty good. The rolls were smaller than normal and not as tasty, and what happened to the TV's? Why all the changes? Why take so much off your menu? read more

Such a fun find while we were visiting Tarleton. We will definitely return! Great food, great service, super relaxed vibe.

I have passed this place many times but I guess I thought it was more fast food. We arrived and were seated at a table... our server was a bit frazzled but polite. I ordered wine and He brought me the small bottle of wine without the glass. I laughed was no big deal and got a glass. We ordered, my husband had the filet Steak dinner and I had the chicken strips. We also had the fried green tomato app. Everything was good! It was reasonably priced and pretty fast to get the food. I would say the place is a cross between Chilis and Dennys. Everyone working appeared to be college age. Be gentle with the work force at least they show up! We will be back. read more

First visit to to a Cotton Patch since I gave 4 star pleasantries for the Brownwood, Texas location. So, maybe I've come to my senses. Down one star for this location in Stephenville, TX. Go for the bread; totally worth it. Two bucks for the skillet cornbread smothered in honey and a dollop of butter. Got to sample the tiny loaf shaped rolls that I missed on my last visit. Friggin' delicious! The wheels came off the wagon after that. My turkey club suffered in several ways. First off, there shouldn't be black spots (rotten spot) on the avocado. It was also about two more days from being totally ripe. Bacon was cooked on a solar panel attached to the International Space Station and returned to earth in a pine box..it should have been buried. The tortilla soup (referencing our previous visit) suffered from mushy vegetables. Additionally, the chili powder was almost double versus the previous bowl. GF only had a few spoons and switched to the onion rings and 1/4 of my sandwich. Service was attentive and friendly. Might just come back to eat bread read more

My family of four attempted to eat here on a Thursday night at 6:45pm. We were seated promptly and then waited and waited and waited for a server to come to our table. Several walked by, one even cleaned the table off behind us and never came back to attend to us. After about 15 minutes and making direct eye contact with a waitress behind the counter multiple times, we walked out and not once did anyone try and stop us or speak to us. There were only a handful of other tables with patrons at the restaurant and several servers standing around, so I know they were staffed and not busy; as I tried to be open minded to that. read more

They have really been trying to improve. The food was better than it was a few months ago .

The food is awesome, our server was so helpful and kind. Loved the feel of the restaurant. High energy but not so crazy you can't enjoy a conversation. read more

Cotton Patch Cafe - Steak fingers, potatoes, squash, and apples. - American Near Me - Stephenville, Texas

Pretty good comfort food. I like the steak fingers! They are hand battered and really yummy! Salads are good too.

Picked up a order today after ordering online. It was ready on time. The chicken and fish were seasoned well. Squash casserole was delicious and so was the broccoli rice casserole. Rolls were tiny. It was a good meal. read more

First time coming here. I asked for a recommendation. The waiters was on point. The chicken fried steak was amazing. It's been a long time since I've had a really long time. It's was like home cooked. The gravy was creamy delicious. It could have used a tad more gravy but other then that no complaints. The bread rolls were pillow and super delicious. The jalapeño corn with honey butter is an awesome a definite must order. read more

I went after an agricultural event, so I was extremely hungry. I love blackened fish, this was okay, but not bad. My friend got the chicken alfredo and it looked good, she said she loved it. She didn't eat her mashed potatoes though, she said they just weren't that great. I loved my sweet potato fries and the herb rice. Our waiter was awesome also. read more

I had a coupon with Uber eats so I said why not. Once I ordered I waited 20 minutes for updates. It then said it would be delivered on the range of 1 hour from order time (fine) to 1 hour 45 min from order time (not fine). So I saw the button to pick up myself so I drove out there to pick it up because it said estimated ready and I arrived about 10 min after this... got there and the nice young man working the front said did anyone call you. I said no. He tells me they are out of sirloins. I say okay what other options do I have. He says a bigger bacon wrapped steak. I said that will work. I wait 20 min for them to finish this steak while also watching the chefs more worried about cleaning than hurrying the order. I've also seen them give rolls to people (fyi I paid for rolls) and 24 minutes after I was already there when things were complete I go to check my order and I said are the rolls in here to which he said sorry they are out. I said you've given several away while I've been waiting. He said let me check in the back to where he found a fresh tray miraculously. He offered me a bunch I said a double order would be fine. I then looked through the bag to realize there were three baked potatoes and no mashed ... I had to ask and he said sorry we're out of that too. Good to know. Anyways I've just now arrived home 1 hour 25 minutes from when I ordered. This. Was. Terrible ... and I haven't even tried the food yet. read more

I gotta say this placed impressed me!!! The food was great the service was even better!!! Our server was James and he is out of this world on top of it!!! Polite, pleasant, and perfect!!! He never let our drinks even get empty!!! But it was not just James everyone was just as attentive!!! I will be back!!!! read more

When I first walked in I was thinking "oh" another one of these places. Then the Texas came out in a hurry from the man opening the front door to every server saying hi and even said a few ya'lls to go with the meal. Now for the food WOW food for cost amazing and the taste was on point. Chicken Fried Bacon yes you read it right. Was great read more

Cotton Patch Cafe - I was half way through CFC - American Near Me - Stephenville, Texas

Avoid the chicken fried brisket as you might avoid the monkey pox. Mostly big, inedible globs of fat hide beneath that crust you crave. Good service, but a terrible dish. It'll be a while before I forget the aftertaste. read more

Service was pretty terrible and only saw the waitress a couple times. The food took 40 minutes to come out and was cold and did not taste right. Had to cram 10 people into a 8 person table because "they didn't want to move tables". Do not recommend going if you want good hot food. Believe we all have food poisoning. read more

So far, I've only had takeout from this place, but mmmmmm mmmm. Dang it was good. Chicken and Dumplings like your Grandma made. I can't wait to eat here to sit down and try a bunch of things. But do they have WiFi. We will see. read more

My son's hamburger was way over seasoned l. Staff was really nice food not good won't be going back.

Just a small town cafe, but the food really is home made in house, not a bunch of microwaved frozen food. This place is good to people with kids, too, letting the little ones eat totally free on Thursdays. They are civic minded, run a good clean establishment and they deserve our business! I have been going for breakfast periodically for more than 10 years and this is one of those rare places that understand "crispy" when you order your bacon and "soft" when you order your scrambled eggs! The coffee is good and rich, too, unlike that of many places trying to cut back and water down the brown elixir of life in order to save a few cents. Yippee for the Cotton Patch! See ya'll there! read more

My wife's granddaughter, who was visiting from Ft. Worth was with us as we arrived during the height of the Sunday lunch crowd. Luckily, with only 3 in our party so ww were seated right away. Drinks were ordered and they showed up quickly along with rolls, butter, and napkins (asked for by my wife) Our food arrived in an appropriate amount of time. EVERYTHING was delicious and the portion control generous. The staff was pleasant and accommodating. A truly wonderful experience for our first visit. We'll be back for sure! read more

This place was great... the staff is wonderful! I had the chicken fried chicken with jalapeño gravy.... AMAZING!!!!

We are so disappointed, we really love their food but terrible service . We were a party of 6, watched them sit no less than 7 parties of 2-4 that came in after us due to being "short staffed" we were told by the waitress. Simply no way for that to not be offensive. Won't be back read more

Service was amazing. The food was great. Portions were big. It was an excellent value for the money

We are always greeted with a smile and seated immediately. The service is wonderful. This is my grandbabes FAVORITE restaurant in town. They get the Mac and cheese on the kid's menu. read more

Stopped on at the Cotton Patch Cafe in Stephenville while traveling through. The food, service and atmosphere didn't disappoint. I've been to a different location by Dallas, and this kn in Stephenville is just as good. If your in Stephenville to visit, it's definitely a great place for a filling meal. read more

Always enjoy whatever I get here. Good taste of home cooked American cuisine. Everything seems to be fresh when I've gone.

Fast friendly service and the food was decent. The guys at our table loved it and ate like it was going to run away! We will be back!

We were so disappointed today. The food wasn't hot, in fact the mashed potatoes were cold. The meat loaf didn't have tomato sauce topping.The meat loaf sliders and sweet potatoes fries were good however. Someone at our table ordered the triple cheese bacon burger. It came on Texas toast. We were told they didn't have hamburger buns anymore. Not sure we will go back. read more
