This food is very good. But the amount of money paid for what we got was not good! The portions we got for $90 for 4 ppl was for 5 to 10 years olds. It actually didn't even fill up our 12 year old! Will not eat here again because of tiny portion for lots of money read more

I know that Sunday is busy, but to wait over an hour for food. Then the rolls weren't cooked all the way through. We let our server know she said she was gonna bring us more never happened. read more

Food was cold when it came out, ordered the grilled cheese and the cheese wasn't melted all the way and came out rubbery. Also got the triple cheese bacon burger and had the same issue. Service was good but that's about all that was. read more

We were staying at the La Quinta next door and we're looking for a place to eat late at night and this place hit the spot! I didn't know it was a chain but this location was supubrb! Our waitress was the sweetest and was very accommodating and even gave us a free appetizer because our app wasn't working. The bread you are served at the beginning is amazing and hits the spot. For our appetizer we got the mozzarella sticks which were to die for! I got the strawberry pecan chicken salad and it was very good! Nice and refreshing! Perfectly cooked chicken and fresh strawberries! Everyone at the table was very satisfied with their meal! For dessert me and a friend split the Dr. Pepper cake and it was to die for! Super good and really moist! I would definitely recommend coming back here for a delicious comfort meal!! read more

The food was good but small portions compared to the Brownwood location. They forgot to give me my Caesar salad and brought it to me after my entree. No freshening of drinks at all and waited 20 minutes for the waitress to come by so we could ask for the check. Not going to be coming back to this location. Disappointed read more

Unfortunately we were not impressed with this location, 1st most if our food was cold (they were hot meals) 2nd, we didn't receive our salads and we had to find our waitress....the price for some of the items that we ordered was taken off the total bill, but we have decided to go elsewhere from now on... read more

Food was good chain food. We had the meatloaf and the chicken fried brisket. Nolan our server, however, was outstanding. Very attentive and genuine. read more

First time to this location. I know it is a chain but the food is always good. Today it was great !!! Very nice fresh chilled salads and hot fresh entrees. But the best thing to brag about was the exceptional service. We had Zach. He was so pleasant and friendly. We even sought out the manager to make sure he knew we had such a good experience. We will be back. Worth the drive !! read more

Pretty good food and service. It's pretty busy since it's one of the more popular college town restaurants, so get there early and be prepared to wait for a table. The chicken and dumplings are good, although I think the serving size is a little small. The yeast rolls are warm and flavorful, and salads are of a good portion size and are fresh, too. Family members have tried everything from steak to burgers to chicken tenders and everything tasted good. We will be back! read more

What a wonderful experience our group had at the Cotton Patch! We were in town for a meeting and decided to grab a bite to eat after the meeting. Yummy. Our server took care of our group of 8 wonderfully. Everyone enjoyed their entrees. read more

This was a decent place to grab a bit to eat with my Mom after we had been running errands. It's a chain, as I've seen them crop up in other small Texas towns I've been out and about in. Service was congenial and our table was clean. Atmosphere was like a regular chain restaurant serving lunch to hungry patrons. Nothing unusual, and nothing stood out. They did serve complimentary yeast rolls which came out nice, warm, and fluffy. These always have a simplistic pleasurable smell and are quite satisfying if done correctly. There was one roll for each of us and we were offered another basket, but declined. I ordered the Chicken Philly Cheesesteak and opted for sweet potato fries for $1 extra. The fries were actually quite good, with a slight sprinkling of salt AND brown sugar -- it wasn't over done, which made the crispy fries very enjoyable. The sandwich was OK, nothing amazing, nothing terrible. I'd order it again if I was in the mood I suppose. Overall A-OK. read more

Samatha is the sweetest waitress ever! The food was absolutely amazing. Just as good as the first time coming here. Short wait time, great service and such amazing quality food at a fair price. Had to write a review. So impressed! Seems like the best in Stephenville honestly. Will miss it after graduation. read more

Cotton Patch Cafe - American Near Me - Stephenville, Texas

Consistently good, and we have stopped here for years as we drive through Stephenville. People are friendly, restaurant is clean, food is always hot. Just what I want! Highly recommend. Best Cotton Patch of all. read more

Very friendly team greeted me. I watched them and they take care of each other which results in great service to the guests. I sat at the counter and ordered a ribeye with loaded tato and mushrooms. Steak came out a little more "medium" than medium rare but it was seasoned well. Tato was small but loaded. Shrooms were excellent. Otherwise could be 5 stars. I am usually not a dessert person, but Jaycee made a new item right in front of me for another guest: strawberry shortcake. Here's why it's so good: they use angel food cake, AND they cut the strawberries fresh before mixing into the strawberry sauce., and then dump it onto the two slabs of cake. This keeps the berries and cake from getting mushy. That was a nice detail. The only thing sweeter than the whipped cream on top was Jaycee. She's in the right business for sure. read more

We went to CPC for my birthday dinner on a Friday night. This CPC had the local high school game on, the facility did not seem overly packed. It took 10 minutes to finally get service from the waiter. Though in her defense I think she has 4 tables sat all around the same time, my husband and I just happened to be her last table. The rolls were really good. We also ordered the fried prickle chips which my husband enjoyed. I ordered a steak which was cooked to order. The chicken fried steak my husband ordered looked really good! We will have to try this CPC again at some point. read more

The food was pretty good ( the small portions of it I could taste) but the service was horrible! I ordered to go ( catfish and bacon cheese fries appetizer of queso and salsa and dessert of Dr pepper cake)my order was messed up two times. To add insult to injury the corn bread I ordered was thrown loosely in the bag. Not in a container or bag ! Fortunately I ended up not being to upset over that since the cornbread muffins could be used to play hockey . Outside of the cornbread the food was good just make sure to eat a snack before coming because the portions leave much to be desired. Add to that the poor service and I think this will be my one and only CPC trip. read more

While traveling through the Stephenville, Texas area we decided to pop into the Cotton Patch for a bit of lunch. We were blessed with the most adorable, server named Savannah! She appeared to be full of life and excited to work with us. This little lady served up central, Texas hospitality with grace and style!! She simply couldn't have been more friendly, efficient and sweet! Oh and.... the quest dip and the homemade peach cobbler were out of this world too! read more

Went in for a late supper. Ordered their Monday night special chicken fried chicken and chicken fried steak. Was told it came with two sides for $7.99. Ordered a salad and mashed potatoes. The salad was watery and the potatoes were old. When the bill came we were charged $1.99 for each salad. Was told that the salad is not considered a side but a premium side. I feel the waitress should have included it in the side choice or at least told us it was extra. The manager didn't seem to care much. I will not be going back anytime soon. read more

Its sad when a chain restaurant is one of the best in your town. I like cotton patch because everything is made fresh. As a chef i appreciate someone making something and not just opening a bag and frying it. Most everything on their menu is over salted but its still better then almost everything in stephenville. read more

This place gets a solid rating due to its consistency. It is everything you would expect a Cotton Patch to be. Service is good, staff is friendly, food is good! The only critique I have is that the portions of fried okra are small, but they still taste very good! Just your every day traditional cafe. Great place for lunch with family/friends! read more

The Dr. Pepper cake is to die for! The manager is super friendly, and always recognizes us when we go in.

Mallory was our server today, she did an exceptional job! She made a point of making my family and friends feel welcomed. Ive been to many Cotton Patches, but this experience will for sure bring me back! I hope to get her as our server the next time we come. read more

Visited Sunday night for dinner (6/2/19). Mikayla was our waitress and was so kind after a long day. Our special needs son is still talking about his "Kayla". She made sure our drinks were filled and we had enough caffeine for the rest of our trip. The food was good and the place was clean and welcoming. read more

We've never really had a bad experience here, sometimes the food is a little off though. Service is always okay, the place is always clean. I usually get the chicken and dumplings, they're very good. That's about it, Cotton Patch isn't anything special but it's good when you're craving "home style" food! read more

I often order chicken and dumplings to go for my husband and all the staff know just how I like it packaged. Rachael, my favorite waitress/server/cashier, treats me extra special every time I come in. It is nice to have such friendly people there. Makes it easy to return for more! read more

My family and I have eaten here many times, but after last night, we will not be going back. We were in a party of 11 and had called ahead to let them know to expect us at 7pm. The 2 hostesses did not want to seat us together, but we kept asking to be seated as 1 group. It was obvious that they intentionally made us wait as long as possible. The hostesses glared at us as we waited. We waited 45 minutes for our table, as every customer who came in behind us was seated and served. At this point half of the restaurant seating was empty. Our waitress was slow to take our drink orders of tea and water and she even slower to take our food orders. I asked her what time the restaurant closed and she said she didn't know. 2 parties of 4 were seated after us and served before us. 45 minutes after we were seated, my niece walked to the front and asked to speak to the manager. Our food was sitting on the counter. The manager said she couldn't do anything about our wait without calling her GM but then refused to call her GM. At this point, the 2 hostesses turn with their arms crossed and shot us another hateful glare! So, 1 and a half hours after walking into the restaurant, we walked out. As we did the 2 hostesses and 1 waitress stood to our right and several (maybe 6 waitresses) stood to our left. All of them gave our hateful looks and several said, very sarcatically "Thank You, have a good evening". No one in our group knew any of the ladies working there last night. We didn't do anything to provoke their behavior. Our only offense was requesting to be seated together. We went down the road to Peacock's Restaurant, were seated immediately and were served in less than 30 minutes. read more

I love the place.. bf hates it. Most cotton patches have big servings... not this one! One tiny scoop of broccoli and like 5 pieces of veggies for the mixed veg. His chicken fried steak was more than half breading. His chicken and dumplings had exactly 4 dumplings... I always get a salad or meatloaf. Delicious but I don't pay the bill soo.. no more cotton patch. Lol! read more

Well, since the remodel I was hoping that management and staff would take better care of the place. There's dust on the mason lughts and it seems as if the staff will haphazardly clean off the tables but NOT AROUND them. I watched in amazement as a table of 6 was seated at a round top with trash and food all around them. Ours had small trash and crayons y der it. The wait staff didn't know that loaded mashed were equal to 2 sides or that the baked potatoes were anupcharge if over TWO DOLLARS! Guess theycost allot more than the instant. I would realky like to walk in and find the place picked up. The food? On average it's fair. I do like the fried mushrooms real well. read more

Cotton Patch Cafe - The trash at cotton patch BEFORE these men were seated. - American Near Me - Stephenville, Texas

I have been disappointed the last two trips to the Cotton Patch. We ate there for my husband's birthday. It was a fiasco from start to finish. The waitress was new and did not write down our order. So guess how that turned out? Had to ask twice to get our rolls. My husband's steak which he ordered medium (pink) came out rare.The shrimp my husband ordered in addition to his steak were forgotten. We had to remind the waitress. The shrimp finally appeared at the end of the meal albeit grilled instead of fried as he ordered. Our teas were never refilled. And we like to never have gotten our check. I ordered the chicken Caesar salad which includes croutons. But, alas, no croutons on my salad. When I asked about my croutons I was informed they were out of croutons, that late at night they often run out. Hmmmmm...it was only 6:00. You know when you have a salad that has a very few ingredients like the Caesar, you might want to mention to the customer the salad will come sans a main ingredient. Now, my husband will not let me complain when something is wrong. He just won't eat there again. But, once he was out the door, I did complain. This was a birthday meal and it was not a good experience. In all fairness, the manager ended up comping us the meal and I didn't feel one bit guilty about taking it because it was truly horrible. Today was the first time I've been back. I ordinarily love their Caesar salad. So, I ordered one again but with the caveat I did not want it if they were out of croutons again. Guess what? They were out of croutons AGAIN! And it was 1:00 in the afternoon. I just want to say management needs to get their act together. Be prepared and have sufficient ingredients! read more

The food is pretty awesome, but every waitress works this place like it is their first job. Take-out takes a long time, too. However, the quality of the food makes up for the waitresses complaining about their roommates. Cotton patch is pretty consistent food. Fried green tomatoes are incredible! I order them everytime. It is also great for kids. They have a good list of kids meals and choices. Avoid the pot roast and meatloaf and you will be fine on any other choices. read more

Mediocre is the best term to describe my visit. Everything is on par with what you'd expect from a chain restaurant. Wait times during lunch are crazy, so make sure you devote some time if you'd like to eat in that time period. read more

The food is usually pretty good as well as the service. But, I also like to get my food Togo a lot and sometimes they forget stuff. When I ordered chicken fried steak Togo, they didn't include any gravy. I drove all the way home and had to drive all the way back to get it. read more

My wife and I were making a fast trip thru Stephenville and decided to try out this Cotton Patch on a Saturday. The food was really good and the service was top notch. I was really impressed. I had a Cajun seafood dish that was very tasty. The fried mushrooms are awesome. Thanks for a good meal on the road. read more

The food is okay, most of the time my food is heavily salted and most of the wait staff is rude. I wouldn't recommend going here.

Great food, super friendly staff. Overall nice atmosphere. Had cajun fish and a cesar salad, was very impressed. Prices are very adequate for the quality and amount of food. read more

Ask for Pennie she's amazing. Really good food and service. I would recommend this to anyone.

Had dinner there today. Service was great, the waitresses, just not mine were very attentive. I thought the food was great. I would (will) go back, and will recommend to anyone here or passing through. It's next to LaQuinta Inn. read more

Their Togo service is a mess. The food tasted fine, but took way too long. Servers seem to just walk up to the Togo station and not communicate with the Togo hostess. My order was cancelled, even though I paid for it, because of this communication error. The manager did refund me, but my order was still incorrect after the fact. The manager's at this location are very friendly and have great customer service, but the other staff consist of college students who can be less than the best at service. That's doesn't go for all of them, just some. Hopefully the Togo issue finds a fix. read more

I really liked it. Food tasted good, warm, recently prepared. Service was great and fast even though we went during lunch hour. Definitely more than I expected after trying so many places in Stephenville and not liking the majority. read more

Don't get me wrong the food is what it is, but why this restaurant gets two stars is the health hazard and the rudeness of management. I went there to eat with my grandparents, and quite literally, almost threw up when I saw a waitress stand up on the counter to erase the chalk board and change the menu specials. She didn't wipe it off and just pretended nothing happened. Mind you this was right in front of the pick up window and she stood ON TOP OF the salad dressings!! WTF? They are open containers with ladles in them like at a salad bar, and she was walking all over them. Talked to the "hourly manager" and she pretty much rolled her eyes and "would see what she could do". Totally unprofessional and nasty. read more
