Great Fresh Gizzards in Town!! Made to order when I call-in Staff is kind and very helpful read more

Drove over for lunch from Garland today. Was well worth the drive! We each had the 2 fillet lunch plate. 2 very nice fillets, french fries, hush puppies, beans, coleslaw, and green tomato relish. So much good. We brought 2 fillets home. Also bought a quart of the green tomato relish to bring home. Best catfish we have had in a good while. read more

Great friendly people been here for decades. Very good food anything you order. Powers or at least one of them is usually always there to walk around to the tables to be assure everything is fine read more

Catfish was dry and tough. Worse I ever had. Fried okra taste like it was fried 2 days ago tough and had to spit it out. Absolutely the worse catfish dinner I've ever had . A waste of my $11.90 read more

The staff was so great, felt like I was family, not my family better!! We heard about the Cajun dishes and were disappointed when they did not have them that night. We had the fish and chicken, it was so awesome!!! We'll be back!! read more

While this place won't win any awards for decor or ambience, the food is FANTASTIC! I had the fried chicken, two of us had the chicken tenders, and another had the meatloaf. All were juicy and cooked just right. The sides were tasty as well, and the prices make a trip absolutely worth your while. read more

The food is old style cafeteria line. You choose what you want from the available fare and pay before you sit down. The food i got was good.

Must try the chicken strips ! Definitely not your typical strips. They were the biggest and tastiest I have ever eaten. They have such a great selection of other foods. Seriously !!! Service was fast and friendly. They have a drive trough as well. read more

We eat here occasionally. I frequently get the chicken or chicken fried steak We get the food to.go. I just love and appreciate this restaurant and the kind people here!!! read more

Everything we ordered for take out was excellent. Some of the best fried catfish and wings we ever enjoyed. The service was courteous and prompt but we forgot our peach cobbler.- bummer because it looked great. The food and service surpasses the ambiance but it is a great find. read more

They have that old time cafeteria feeling as you walk in the service was amazing. The food was properly cooked and seasoned well. I had the chicken fried steak. My wife had fried chicken. We both had mashed potatoes. I had the broccoli casserole besides roll. read more

Cochrans Cafeteria has the best food on the lake!! Fast, friendly service and the owners are awesome people, they care about their customers!! I would recommend highly to anyone!! read more

Food was blah. Nothing was hot or fresh. Lighting over food was not very good, so it was hard to realize what some items were. The workers were friendly. The outside of the building could be updated, it is sad. read more

Alway good food and service. The staff is friendly and quick. They have a good variety of meats and sides.

Great food but a little expensive for what you get. I would certainly eat there again. There is very friendly staff. I liked it.

Cochran's is a really good restaurant. It's cafeteria style on most item's, but they will cook up just about anything fresh for you also. I Love their cat fish and chicken tenders are the best. A good selection. We have been eating there for about 15 yrs. The Family who own Cochran's are the sweetest and nicest people ever! read more

The fried chicken is The Best I've ever eaten. I can't say enough about how great it is!

I just love this place. I've been coming here for years and let me start by saying, this isn't a fancy place, it's a fun place. This is nostalgic, almost like a Luby's at the lake. When you have spent all day in the sun and are starving, you can go in here, walk through the line and make a selection of things that have been cooked that day. The fried okra and Mac and cheese are good, but don't miss their cobbler. Also, something I recently discovered is that they have a drive through! read more

Excellent portion size for the price and really good food! The service was quick and efficient.

Food and Ambiance Love cafeteria's because you can look at it before you decide what you want.

We stopped in today and ordered the chicken strips special. It comes with twenty pieces, six rolls and two large sides. Plus gravy. I figured since we were feeding five adults, we'd get an extra side. The sides were good but nothing special. On the other hand, the chicken strips were excellent and huge. In fact none of us could eat more than two. Mom has a lot of leftovers! The folks at Cochran's are so nice and pleasant. Please leave a nice tip for them in the jar. Next time we'll try the cobbler... read more

Really like all the food choices. Always get more than I can eat. Only one problem is that the woman cashier over charges what I am getting. Since the prices are not shown, not even on the credit card receipt, you don't realize what she is doing. Charged for a drink I didn't get. Next time charged for more tenders than I got. Won't go back. read more

Love love love the family style food and the service very friendly and welcoming Everything is clean and food is fresh and hot read more

Good food - clean restaurant - would go back - might buy thanksgiving dinner there. I've been there several times

I haven't tasted the food just yet, but I have to leave this review because your employee , Joanna . She has a bright and beautiful personality. I came to the drive-through and she told me that I should come back to try all the different foods that you all prepare ...that prompted me to come inside and have a look and because of her customer service. I'll definitely be back. read more

Great food, super service and great prices! Small buffet with great choices! Great location! Great ice tea!!

I always love that if i ask they cook my fish or livers fresh they have no problem i love come here when i don't feel like cooking

So good! So old school! So what I wanted! You just can't beat that old-school diner style buffet line like a family owned Lubys. I caption was excellent and I probably could've got away with just one piece of it it was so big. Love you ability to pick my own sides and there were plenty of options to choose from. Had some extremely nice staff members check me out and was at my table in 2 minutes flat. read more

Cochran's Cafeteria - Fried catfish, yams and fried squash with rolls - Chicken Shop Near Me - Gun Barrel City, Texas

This was a cool spot to go to for lunch, it is set up cafeteria style so you just walk along with your tray and choose what you want. There are many options to choose from. I had pot roast and meatloaf which were good. The prices are very reasonable for the amount of foods you get. The only down side was everything needed seasoning and the peach cobbler was doughy and not that sweet and my banana cream pie tasted like flavored foam. read more

See all

After reading the other reviews, it looks like you might need to come here at the right time. We went on a Sunday about 2pm and the food was fine. The space could use an update, but was clean and the food was hot and delicious (my meal could have easily fed two people). Service was fine and I would definitely go again. read more

We live about a mile from this place, and we really like it. The servers are very friendly and helpful. I recently got their chicken and dumplings and it had a lot of chicken in it. It could have used a little more spice like garlic or poultry seasoning, but they won't ever be able to please everyone. Their fried chicken is very good and we like the sides. They have a large variety of entrees and sides including salad. My husband said that their cobbler was good. It's reasonably priced as well. The quart size of chicken and dumplings was 15$$, and st first I thought that was expensive until I saw how much chicken was in it. read more

Ambiance is disgusting. Food is good but won't go there because environment is unpleasant.

Exceptional southern home cooking and great value. Not fancy, but no one goes there for the ambiance... their flavors hit the mark. We stop by often for takeout. read more

Food is cheap and you get what you pay for here some of the employees are kinda rude though . Mostly senior citizens eat here it's setup like a cafeteria read more

Food is ok. It gives you a variety that you can't find around here. The portion sizes are big. The main problem is that they wait on the people in the drive thru before you can be seen. It does not matter if you got there first, you have to wait for the drive thru to be cleared. read more

Liked it better when it was Pop's. Food is a little greasy and portions are small for the money.

Amazing everything was so good everything was Bussin I'm talking come come come juicy ass food nice tasting

Just good home cooking and you don't have to clean the kitchen. Lots of choices and all I have had appeared to be made from scratch. Love it! read more

Delicious food at a great price! Chicken fried steaks are amazing, hand breaded and cooked perfectly! read more

This restaurant never disappoints! Fresh cafeteria style food with plump juicy chicken. You get lots of food for very little money too. Really nice people work here. Highly recommend. read more
