The waiters are always friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. The food is always good. The daily specials are a great deal and I enjoy them all, especially the chicken fried chicken, meatloaf, and tilapia. The Waco and location is well managed and a great place to dine for lunch or dinner.

The chicken fried Chicken was great. The salad was ok, loved the fried mushrooms. Sabrina is an amazing waitress, very courteous, explained the menu thoroughly about the drinks and food questions I had. She was very attentive, kept coming to our table to make sure we were satisfied and didn't need anything else or drinks. We will definitely be back and hope she serves us again.Thank you

We went earlier and our server Josephine was great! She kept our drinks full, consistently checked on us, and was all around exceptional!! Food came out quickly and was hot and delicious too!

We eat here pretty often, and it's probably the best-run Cotton Patch I've frequented. I've had some comically bad experiences at the Brownwood location! Wild to say this about a chain in, but one of the best, if not the best, chicken-fried steaks in town. Their food and service is consistent and consistently good. Kudos to management.

We had a great server - Yossary (I think I spelled it right!) She made a regular night out better! She was professional, efficient, knowledgeable and best of all, very personable. She was very engaging, took our sense of humor in stride and went with it. The food, very good! We had steak fingers and meatloaf. I don't do pictures so you'll have to take my word for it. I do recommend Cotton Patch for a casual evening out. Very nice staff, clean restaurant and easy ambiance!

I had just finished working a long day and just wanted to get a meal and return to a hotel room. I placed this order online from the parking lot then walked in to wait. I expected to wait 20 minutes which was fine because I love fresh hot food. I was greeted immediately upon entering and my food order was checked on. After a few minutes, I was informed of a shift change and also the person now responsible for my order. Waited a few more minutes and my order was packed and ready to go... all in about 12 minutes. Better time than expected. I got to my hotel and the food was still hot and all was packed perfectly and delicious. I'll be visiting again soon for both the friendly service and food.

For the 8th year Cotton Patch has prepared our Thanksgiving meal. This was the best coordinated and prepared meal in my experience. The order was easy to place online, ready at the appointed time, portions were generous and tasty!!! Our family of eleven loved it!!! Thanks to Jose, Kalin, and Julia at the Lake Worth restaurant for their excellent service and professionalism.

It was my wife's birthday celebration and she decided to go to Cotton Patch. Last time we had dinner at Cotton was when we had family visiting from Colorado. It's the place we go to when we want to have good food and a good time. This last time the food was great, but the service was even better. Our server, Tamia, was on top of things all night long. She was helpful, courteous, patient and quick. Even my credit card company checked with me if I had correctly tipped her 40% of the bill. I did. She deserved it. We'll continue to celebrate our special evenings at Cotton Patch Cafe.

We come to the Cotton Patch often. Tonight we had Josie as our server. She was very polite and always asking if we needed anything. I hope we have her again. Food was great as always. Cajun cheese bits are amazing and never sleep on the chicken fried steak! Give this place a chance and ask for Josie!

Sabrina , our friendly server , was exceptionally exceptional!!! From the moment she greeted us , took our order & brought our food … her world class service was on display ! Tonight’s steak 🥩 & chicken fried steak were hot 🥵/ delicious/ and the servings were perfect 👌!!! Sabrina brought me a Diet Pepsi before I finished my first glass. She asked to take our plates ( a pet peeve of mine is grabbing for my plates without asking if we’re done ✅). She was by far the best server we’ve had here. The food was terrific, the rolls were fresh , and the sweet potato 🍠 was incredibly incredible! Cotton Patch nailed it tonight !!!!!!

We really enjoyed our dinner here. The young lady named Angel was an exceptional server. She was well trained and asked expert questions. The food was very good. I had the meat loaf and my wife had the chicken tenders. Both were very good as were the sides and iced tea. We've been back for lunch and the food was exceptional. I had the turkey club sandwich and it was the best I've ever had. My wife had the salmon and she really liked it. Iced tea is Texas worthy. The service again was exceptional. Our server Zay was very helpful and personable.

The cornbread appetizer is pretty good, the brisket queso is a joke so dont get it. I really like the meatloaf, and the casseroles, the chicken fried steak was tough and not tender at all and the Mac n cheese was okay. Their sweet tea is solid. The service was solid as well. Our waitress was friendly and on top of things, the manager of that place needs to do a deep clean on that whole place though for sure. Their pricing is really fair though so thats a plus! Overall I give this place a 7.1/10

Was in Abilene and celebrated my birthday at the Cotton Patch. They were out of several items, so choices were somewhat limited. The service was slow but mostly attentive. Would have loved to give all 5 stars, but everything was just a bit off. Hope to try again when everyone maybe isn’t as worn out, or all items are available.

We ordered the Holiday Ultimate Feast for Christmas. We picked up the food the afternoon of the 22 and refrigerated it almost immediately. We ate the food the 23. The food was not fresh. We ate it, but had to throw it out in two days, because it was going "bad". I was very disappointed. I wanted left overs. We order from this CP at least 5 times a month. We are very good customers, but this time, CP dropped the ball. The turkey especially was "twangy" even on the first day we ate it. Please understand that in Rockwall I drove past Cracker Barrel and Le Madelaine to get to Cotton Patch to pick up my food. In the past, I have utilized both for my holiday meals with excellent results. Because CP has been such a great source of quality meals this past year, I was pleased to trust you with my holiday. I am sorely disappointed.

We ordered the meal for 6 for Thanksgiving and were extremely disappointed. There definitely was not enough food for 6 people. We received 5 small containers of food that would amount to about 2 1/2 level tablespoons of each side and 2 toddler amount pieces of turkey each. Definitely not worth the $120 we paid for it. The mac n cheese container was smashed as well so cheese was all over the bottom of the containers too. Ugh. We got more food on the plate when we ate the turkey and dressing meal at Cotton Patch the day before we ordered the Thanksgiving meal. Extremely disappointed and the manager was rude as well.

We didn’t dine in so I’m unable to grade the atmosphere. Don’t order meatloaf or green beans. I had to throw the “so-called” meat loaf and green beans away. The meatloaf was the most horrible thing that I have ever tasted. The green beans were so big that they were shelling size. If pepper is a problem for you, they put black pepper in everything. I don’t believe that everything that they serve is truly made from scratch. If so, they need better recipes.
