    Burrito with a kick
    David S.

    Today I enjoyed the Burrito with a Kick. A loaded breakfast burrito . They also have a buffet for $10.99. The menu has a good selection for a variety of dishes. Bonus is they serve lunch all day.

    Enjoyed my breakfast here. This is most likely the go-to place for truck drivers and locals. My scrambled eggs (fluffy, real eggs) and bacon were good, but pancake was only warm and sausage was room temp at best. My husband's over-medium eggs were cooked perfectly! Not slamming this place, because food was good and server was super attentive and friendly...our coffee cups stayed full. This is a place I will go back to when traveling through Henderson in the future. They have a lunch buffet daily, and I'd like to try it out.

    The wait staff was great. Nice hometown feel. Great homemade breakfast, felt like mom made it. It was hot and fresh. The coffee was so good and it was hot.

    At the intersection of 79 & Carthage Hwy.  Sets off the Hwy below a motel.

    Decent food, but way too smoky inside. Ordered the Chicken Fried Steak and didn't enjoy it that much. Way too much gravy.....

    Send Carlos the manager to "Diversify and world Class Customer Service Training!"…read moreOne Star Review for Cotton Patch in Henderson, Texas Today my husband and I stopped at the Cotton Patch in Henderson, Texas. We have eaten at many Cotton Patch restaurants before and always enjoyed our food, but this visit was very disappointing. My husband ordered the chicken fried turkey, and I ordered the chicken fried chicken. His meal came out with two large pieces, but mine looked unusually small, like a child-sized portion. I asked our server, Logan, about it and she said she was sure another piece was coming out. It never did. When I asked again, she said the manager, Carlos, was supposed to come speak with us. He never showed up. We waited another 45 minutes to an hour and he still did not come by our table. Logan was a great server and we tipped her well, but the manager, Carlos, was completely unprofessional. He made no effort to come over or address our concern. It was very clear that he had no intention of making our visit a welcoming one. I boxed up the chicken fried chicken and threw it away. We left disappointed and will not be returning to this location.

Their service is fantastic also. The o lyrics thing that set me back, some of my side dishes were just too Salty. I like Salty food, but the only way I could eat the rest of my sides was to eat it as left overs and mix it with other food that had zero seasoning. Luckily they give you a decent portion. And even tho half my side dishes were overly Salty, my mouth is still watering over how yummy everything else I had was. If only if only, they are so close to a much better rating. Not even a better ambiance would have helped. Tbh I really enjoyed the southern charm of the place. Not cold and modern, but so bright and family friendly. And plenty of parking right outside.

I really haven't had a bad time yet. The only thing that frustrates me is that the hostesses often want to seat me in the other side of the restaurant from the bar side. I sat there once and hated it. In fact, I got up and left. IT's loud and dingy and the atmosphere is the opposite of what I go there for. The problem I see is that the bar side has too many large tables. A person going alone is going to want to be on that side. Overall, I haven't had a bad experience and it's nice to pop in for a cold beer and some oysters.

When we asked, she just replied, "I don't know" & I asked her if she could please go check so we know if we need to find something else to order if need be. Two managers both came over & they apologized & explicitly. The blackened chicken & veggies with the pineapple mango salsa was tasty but the rice was bland. Husbands redfish tacos were huge & blackened as well. Very tasty though he too agreed the rice was flavorless. They do charge $3.99 for chips & salsa.
