We went on a Monday and both of us ordered the Chicken-fried chicken all day special. We were there when it wasn't busy, between 3:30 and 4:30 pm. Service was great, we got our beverages and rolls right away. Our food came to the table shortly after. The food was tasty, but a little too much pepper for my taste. The serving of chicken was large, but the rolls were smaller and the sides serving were smaller than usual. We did ask for more rolls and got them. Overall, we enjoyed our experience. read more

Sitting here eating some delicious food at Cotton Patch Cafe. I saw the restaurant randomly off the 20 freeway and decided to stop in. Cotton Patch reminds me of Cracker Barrel, but minus the country store and add alcoholic beverages. I decided to check out the menu before I decided to either stay or leave and I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of food that was available. A woman warmly greeted me and escorted me to my table. I told her it was my first time here and she gave me a true Southern welcome and told my waitress to "show her how we do it here". I was given a menu and decided on their meatloaf lunch special. They had several types of lunch specials with chicken tenders, sandwiches, chicken fried steak, and so many more. All of the lunch specials were between $7-$10! With the meatloaf special I got the choice of two side items, so I got their broccoli and southern green beans. After ordering I was brought a basket of fresh and warm bread. The bread was a mix of corn bread muffins and rolls. They tasted so amazing! I had to stop myself several times from eating the entire basket before my food came. When it did come it looked and tasted delicious. The meatloaf was sesoned well with just a hint of sweetness and spice. Their meatloaf is made fresh daily and it was shown in the taste. The broccoli was some of the best I had in a restaurant as it was crunchy and soft at the same time and bright green. The green beans were just okay--not my favorite. Overall I really enjoyed my time at Cotton Patch Cafe. I felt appreciated for my business and the food and service was great. Southern hospitality is alive and well at Cotton Patch! read more

The service was fast and great. I got the chicken fried steak and chicken fried chicken. Both are great and well season. Definitely should get their jalapeño gravy. The onion rings and fries were amazing too! I feel like they are really clean and safe during these COVID times. read more

fish and all wasnt bad, but, b nice if they added ketchup and actually filled up the little plastic containers full of tarter sauce, and added 1 or 2 more for the big platter. had to eat fries with no ketchup and one of the fish without tarter sauce. read more

Pic tells the tale. I'd eaten 4 fries already. The only reason they were warm was from the hot grease from the fish. No sauce no nothing read more

The food was splendid ! My server Daniela was amazing!! My family and I will definitely be back.

Te restaurant was nice, very convenient location from our hotel. The food was good and so was our service. I would have rated higher, but whatever reason it took a while for someone to come and greet us, nearly to the point we were about to walk out. Outside if that I recommend the place. read more

Cotton Patch Cafe - Inside seating area - American Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Great little place near 20. Met my FAM there for dinner. Server was great and checked on us often. There was a bit of a wait once we arrived about 20 min, but it was 7 pm on a Saturday, so I understand. The food took awhile and was a bit over seasoned. I'd give them a second try but I wasn't overly impressed. The pricing was competitive to other places like it. read more

Love this place!! Atmosphere is always great. My daughter is in love with their chicken caesar salad and the Cajun Duo is fabulous. read more

SUPER UNDER STAFFED. Disorganized. Managers flip constantly. We were there for 35 minutes with a glass of water and nothing else. The waitstaff is nowhere to be found and the kitchen was so backed up that when our waitress came, she was totally embarrassed. I felt bad for her because she not anyone had any control. Will I be coming back? Probably not. read more

I'm not thrilled with the fact that I called ahead to ensure there was no wait in line. Upon my arrival the host never acknowledged our presence nor did anyone else as staff. I have tried on several occasions to eat here and eat time there is always some kind of issue with the food or the staff. I would recommend a closure and reset on training the staff and cooks. I have not have a great experience with this restaurant after COVID. I understand there are changes within most food establishments. However, to be ignored by the host after sitting his party right before us was a huge disappointment. I decided to take my family to another establishment where we could receive the proper service we deserve. Never again! I suggest others to rethink this choice as well. read more

Food is great and prices are reasonable. Love the chicken fried steak. You are not rushed out of the restaurant.

Been here once amd plan on coming back. Food and service was good. Food was fresh and tasted ery flavorful. We enjoyed everything we ordered. read more

The new menu change has mashed potatoes as a side and it can't be substituted. I'm not happy about that change, you can't make meals lower in carbs by adding more veggies or salad. Food is basic, chicken strips are my fave. Their broccoli, green beans n okra are delicious. Service is great! read more

I ordered delivery through the Cotton Patch app yesterday for the first time, and I have to say I was impressed! The app is really user friendly, the delivery was quicker than I expected, and the food was fresh, hot and delicious! I also appreciate that Cotton Patch is always consistent. The food I received in the delivery order was exactly the same size, consistency and just as fresh and flavorful as if I were dining at the restaurant. Great job, Cotton Patch Cafe! read more

Went for a party. Had to set up our own tables, which there wasn't enough. Took two hours to get food in sections. My daughter had to go to the bar for all the tables refills. We only had one waitress for 50 people so if you're looking for a job I'm sure they are hiring! Never got condiments. Food was wrong and didn't want to wait another two hours so we left without eating. read more

We gave this place another try waiter William was great- the food we ordered didnt all come out together -no worries,but then we recieved it an entire entree was cold had to be remade on another dish the sides were cold- by the time the plate was finally recieved every1 was finished eating. ‍ I think were finished here. read more

I am sitting here waiting for my food I am so disappointed I bought 2 new friends here for the first time and we have waited for almost a hour to get some of the food of the what was ordered the manager comes out with the to go order and then tells me this for here and I clearly stated 3 times it's to go and my friends are like you said this place was great Hmm read more

Cotton Patch Cafe - To go order Grilled Cajun Duo & 8 Shrimp - American Near Me - Arlington, Texas

You would think a to-go order would not be that difficult.......WRONG. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich, no cheese, with baked squash as my side dish.....to be delivered by Favor. But what I actually get, over an hour later was a sandwich loaded with cheese on soggy bread....no squash.....weird looking instant mashed potatoes and fried okra! WTH!? Not even close to what I ordered. And when I called up there asking how they were going to fix this, I was told I would need to come in and order another meal and they would comp THAT one. Yea, read that again cuz I'm sure it made no sense. WHY would I give them a second chance to screw up? Just take this crap off my card right now! These idiots are incompetent fools and they must think I am one also. I will NEVER get anything from here again....they truly SUCK! read more

Eeeeeee, where to start. We waited at least 5 minutes for someone to great us, they weren't that busy. We were seated and probably about her 15 minutes before anyone took our drink order. We had finished our first round before our food was taken. Our second round came well after our food arrived (probably halfway done eating). And to top it all off, after giving the waitress my card it was 45 minutes before she returned, I asked two other wait staff if they could send her back our way, even tried/asked to speak to the manager in that time. All in all not a great experience! But at least the food was decent. read more

Looooove this place! The chicken fried chicken is my go to. Highly recommend this place if you havent been yet. read more

Best service of 2022, Alice was great. I would have her train all the other wait staff on how it's done! Thanks read more

Ordered something and they did not get me what I asked for and we waited a very long time for our food to get here.

My server Lidian R was rude. I had an issue with my fried shrimp meal. Manager took meal off of my check as I did not eat it. When Lidian brought the check she had charged me for 2 shrimp meals and then removed 1. I explained to her that I had only ordered 1 not 2. I took issue to manager who corrected the bill. Lidian never apologized for her mistake and when I paid, she threw my receipt and card on the table, no eye contact and no thank you. Very poor customer service. read more

Waited a hour for our food. Our female server was more interested in flirting with another female server the entire hour. Why does this matter - my 7 ur old asked why she was hugging and kissing her coworker on the cheek. That was fun to explain. Our food finally arrived and to our surprise the order was wrong. I requested they take my meal off the ticket as I no longer wanted it and if it took an hour to make it the first time, i wasn't willing to wait another hour for the correct meal. Choose another location to spend your money, this locations service is not good at all. read more

Went in to Coton Patch today to celebrate a friend's birthday. We were a party of eight and Erica was our waitress. This was the BEST service I have had in a long time from anywhere! Erica was so accommodating and even made sure everything was cleaned up before we had the cake. We all paid separately which I know can be a hassle, but not for Erica. She had everything correct and and handled it all quickly. Great job!!! We will all be back soon!! read more

Cotton Patch Cafe - Chicken fried steak, dinner portion. - American Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Food was good and priced reasonably. Service was good and fast. Restaurant was clean and employees were friendly. Will recommend

This used to be one of my favorite places to eat. However, the quality of service has recently taken a sharp decline. Today was the final nail in the coffin and I do not plan on returning. My husband and I ordered a meal online and the order was expected to be ready in 40 minutes. My son went to pick it up but had to wait an additional 20 minutes for it to be ready. When he came home with the food, both my husband and I received bad broccoli in our steamed veggies that I suspect to have been moldy before cooking due to the color and taste. It was disgusting and I had to spit it out. The bread rolls used to be buttery and freshly made but were dry and (likely) store bought. The portions were small, no more than ten small fries as one of the sides. We ended up paying 45 dollars for our three meals and poor experience. The quality of our dinner does not justify the price. I want to like this restaurant like I used to but this was the final straw. read more

I was nice about it got the server told him I had not ate it yet I just cut into it and I saw it so he sent it back and brought me another one this one was even more raw completely pink in the middle!!! I cannot believe this place is still up and running! read more

We stopped going to this particular Cotton Patch because the service was not the best (to say the least). So since it had been awhile, my sister and I decided to try again. We go inside and proceeded to the host stand. As we walked in, we saw the host, possibly a manager, hold a full conversation with the party in front of before seating them. Several employees passed us a number of times, but no one, including the host even acknowledged us. After, waiting about 5-7 minutes, we realized that we must be invisible. Needless to say, I WILL NEVER RETURN TO THIS LOCATION. read more

I am in town visiting from Orlando and some friends and I went in for lunch. Alice was our Server and she was absolutely amazing. She anticipated every need we had before we even knew we had it. As a Restaurant Manager myself, she is the example of what you want every employee to be. Additionally, the food was delicious and came out quick!! read more

Recently ordered from this location and had it delivered by Uber. After receiving my order and checking it, I realize they've left off one of my sides. I call the location and spoke with the young lady that answered the phone about my missing side, she then places me on hold. After 14 minutes of holding I decided to click over and recall, maybe she got busy. Nope, she's not busy, she answered the phone on the first ring. I retell her I'm missing a side, she says " oh yeah, umm did you want to come pick it up or speak with a manager?" So, I chose to speak with a manager waited another 4 minutes for him to half listen to me and just tell me that I needed to go to Uber to get the refund/ handle the issue. Did the lady I spoke with not know that? Why did I have to hold for almost 20 minutes? Why is my item even missing? I get times are what they are right now but, someone has to choose to do better. read more

Cotton Patch Cafe - Bad Customer Service - American Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Customer service was terrible. In an empty restaurant it took 10 minutes to acknowledge me. My gravy spilled all in my bag so I had to clean it up no one offered any assistance or to rebag my items or replace the gravy that spilled read more

Much, much better than I expected. Clean, friendly, and food was fast. My turkey and dressing was enough to feed two men and a baby. Our server was pleasant and attentive, and the pricing was lower than I anticipated. No wireless signal and no public internet network, combined with no TVs in the dining area (that I was seated in, anyway) made me twiddle thumbs for a minute. According to our server, it's an established problem. It didn't bother many other folks because the restaurant was packed. It would have been nice to check in and write this from the restaurant but I couldn't connect to Yelp. They do King Ranch chicken on Tuesday's - I'm intrigued enough about that to come back sometime. read more
