    Chuckwagon Chicken - a little dry
    Linn P.

    Good solid dinner. Had great fresh soft hot rolls to start with. Ordered fried pickles for app. Ranch was good but the fried pickles were heavy battered and minimal pickle. Our dishes were good. Not amazing but good. We had chicken fried steak, chicken friend chicken and the chuck wagon chicken. The chuck wagon was a little dry but not bad. I think the table liked the chicken fried chicken more than the steak. The sides were fine. We would come here again prob in the future if we're craving country cooking.

    Our visit here was amazing! We walk in to a clean and comfortable atmosphere!! Mercy was our server and she was awesome! We had the chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, fried okra and corn bread in a skillet. The food was so delicious! I can't wait to return to try something else on their menu!!

    Must try spot when your in the Dallas area. This is some good home style southern comfort food. I tried the chicken fried steak for the first time in my life and it blew my mind. I got it with the mashed potatoes and gravy with cinnamon apples and scraped my plate clean. My brother Inlaw ordered the beef tips and even his plate was clean. Service was also on point with friendly waitstaff. Restaurant ambience was clean. I would also like to thank manager and staff for a very good experience dining at their restaurant. I hope to come back soon to try other menu items. Best food I had on my trip to Dallas.

    Updated w pics of our favorite meals! We love ordering from here - need pics of the cornbread but it never lasts long. Blackened tilapia and chicken fried chicken w fried okra/green beans and garlic mashed potatoes are our favorite.

    Was in the Grapevine area running errands and had time to kill before my last appointment at six o'clock. So I decided to run over to Cotton Patch for some good old-fashioned southern cooking. The food did not disappoint, nor did the service as Stephanie was on top of her game. She could tell I was one of those people who needs minimal attention. Stephanie was never a bother and checked on me at just the right amount of times. She provided another glass of water without asking and accomodated a request for a spoon. If I'm ever in the area again, I'll definitely ask to sit in her section. The store was also beautiful in decor and very clean. Please check out this restaurant.

    First time in this Cotton Patch, first time in any Cotton Patch since Covid. Happily surprised! We went at lunch time. They have a great selection of items for $7.99 (from 11am to 1pm). However, we ordered the evening portion Chicken Fried Steak ($14.99). It was a very large portion and came with jalapeño or brown gravy... I got jalapeño gravy and my wife got the other. I got the steamed broccoli and the house salad... the salad was very large, enough for two. Wife got garlic mashed potatoes and fried okra. All came out hot and tasted great! The meals included fresh hot rolls. The service was very good, especially concerning the tables were almost all taken. Our waitress did a great job! They offer beer, wine and mixed drinks. Some interesting appetizers (I.e. chicken fried bacon). The interior was clean and well maintained, however a little darker than I like. Plenty of close parking. We will absolutely be back! Highly recommended this location!

I do think they do some things really well. They change their menu seasonally, and I have had some really good and interesting salads. They have a decent happy hour and the service is friendly. I think the kitchen can be inconsistent. Sometimes really good, sometimes mediocre. But again I think that is just them doing too much. A jack of all trades is a master of none.

Shoutout to our waitress Heather, she was so sweet, attentive, and gave great recommendations. The manager Chris also came by a few times to check on us, which I really appreciated. 10/10 experience.

Super busy, inside the door was being held open since there was just people coming in and out. Had to get on a waitlist and that took an 45 to an hour to be seated. Once seated, the server wasn't anywhere to be found until 15 minutes after. I'm sure it was extremely backed up. But then the order didn't come after an hour. At that time, I didn't feel as hungry anymore so maybe I'll come back on a slower day. The food was decent but the sides were all pretty sodium loaded and the chicken was pretty greasy. The ambiance was and the hostesses were helpful. I would recommend to go on a slower day at least once if you haven't tried this place. Everything costs $60+, In my opinion the dishes are a bit overpriced. If you're watching out for your calories with this one then just forget it!

My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Tupelo Honey is a stand-alone restaurant conveniently located near Hwy 114 and 161. There's plenty of parking, outdoor seating, and a mixture of tables, booths, and bar seating. Speaking of the bar, it acts as a beautiful backdrop for the entire restaurant. 1 Star. Service - The service is always friendly. Our server is always smiling, and I can't help but feel welcome with southern charm. Tupelo Honey trains its staff well, and I really enjoy coming here and interacting with the staff. 1 Star. Food - I always begin with the Biscuits with a Cause. These light, flakey biscuits are served warm with a crispy exterior and soft, flakey inside. But honestly, the biscuits act as a delivery mechanism for the butter and blue berry jam. I always ask for an extra side of butter and jam because I use it all. On my most recent visit, I ordered the Honey Dusted Fried Chicken (dark). The chicken was perfectly fried, crispy, and sweet. And the dark meat was juicy. Pro Tips - use your hands. Another great dish was experienced. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. I have yet to have a below average dish at Tupelo Honey. Yes, it's a chain. But it's also a darn good chain that keeps its menu fresh and is worth multiple visits. 1 Star.

The buttermilk Waffles were fluffy and light and full bite with the drizzled syrup was everything. Enjoyed the flavors of the whiskey flight and happy you have the flavor cards to be able to give the tasting a proper review. Over all price is average in comparison but the food quality is there so I have no issue spending an extra dollar or so. I would like to stop by again when it's less busy.

Most recently we opted for some pancakes . Overall the quantity you get for the price is good but the overall quality is not always consistent. The first time we came my husband had piping hot mashed potatoes while mine were almost cold on one side. The next time we came the fries were no longer home fries but just your regular frozen variety. The time after that, one of the chicken fried steaks was a little gummy at the bottom, probably from an uneven fry. This is not to say everything else is bad, they just seem to have an inconsistent cook. Pancakes are good though. Service is typically okay, just like anywhere it depends on your server. If you happen to be seated in a... non assigned area... you may not get the most attentive service and flagging down a different server will just have to do. The restaurant itself is spacious with plenty of seating. They also serve pies, giant cookies, and brownies. I do recommend really looking at the pies since the servers don't always know what's in the fridge, so when they say "thats a lemon pie' you may end up with a Buttermilk slice like we did. The brownies are also... not good... so I really don't recommend them. They don't really taste like anything... Overall an okay country kitchen, not overly bad but also not the best. They could use some tweaks and better quality control.

You'd think that would be a basic training lesson and menu knowledge you'd have to grasp before being given a section. Don't put vague descriptions in print if your staff can't break them down when the guest asks questions. On a side note, I know for a fact that this company requires all their managers to be clean shaven. Yet, I saw a cook/chef with a fairly thick, quasi-biker beard working the line in an open kitchen in clear view of guests. Kind of ironic. I'd rather the dude making my food be clean shaven for obvious reasons. Unlikely that I return.
