    Ribeye steak and green beans
    Nicole P.

    First timers to High Cotton Kitchen! Cute little "hometown" feel country cooking restaurant. Friendly greeter at the door (possibly the owner) thanking us for coming in. Great food and awesome steak! My only negative is they were out of side salads.

    Overcooked and tough chicken fried steak
    Katie G.

    Food was not good chicken fried steak was overcooked and tough. Green beans were stringy. mash potatoes had a crust on the top like sitting under a heat lamp for a long time. asked for jalapeños gravy got regular. I tried to tell server and she said I'll be right back went her friend's table and never came back. Service was nonexistent. She was more worried about her friends and a table of men. I had ice tea and my husband had to find the sugar for me. Rolls were never brought to us. It is very crammed in here there was only us and 4 other tables so I can't imagine what it is like full. We were seated in a walkway even though there were plenty of other tables anytime someone wanted to pass my husband had to move or get up. We will not return or recommend.

    I love this cotton wreath - an homage to their being in Cotton Country.

    I've been wanting to go to Paris to see the Eiffel Tower with the cowboy hat on top, so I made a little jaunt up there this past weekend - it was a two-hour drive from my home in Bedford. I looked up restaurants in the area and found High Cotton Kitchen. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner - I was hoping to get there for breakfast, but alas...they stop serving breakfast at 11AM, and I got there five minutes too late. Happily, though, they have Chicken Fried Steak, and I'm always on a quest for the perfect CFS! They were super busy, but I was greeted immediately and seated promptly. I decided on the CFS with Baked Squash and Green Beans with Bacon as my two sides. I had my choice of either regular Cream Gravy or Jalapeño Cream Gravy, and I chose the traditional version. Hindsight makes me think that the Jakapeno gravy would have elevated an *excellent* CFS to the next level. The CFS was tasty and delicious. It was not super tender, but it never really is, is it? The green beans were sublime, as the bacon used for seasoning has a slight sweetness to it. The Baked Squash was tasty, as well. For dessert, I ordered the Red Velvet Cake to bring back home. There were four layers of red Velvet heaven cushioned with layers of delightful cream cheese frosting. The service was very friendly, and my waitress was Stephanie. She had the ability to handle four tables at once, keeping everyone happy without missing a beat. The restaurant was decorated with a cotton theme - after all, they're right up there in cotton country - plus, vintage pictures and funny signs. The restroom was clean and well maintained. I think Paris, Texas, is one of those places where you have to be going there to get there - one doesn't just pass through since it's off the beaten path. I stumbled upon the Veterans' Memorial when I went to see the Texas Eiffel Tower. It's worth making the trip, and I'll post a separate review about my visit there along with pics. I highly recommend High Cotton Kitchen! Go there - you'll be so glad you did!

    Pot roast with savory rice and roll
    Joe K.

    My work travels took me to the town of Paris, TX for the week. Aside from abundant fast food restaurants, I just couldn't seem to find any cool places to eat. It's been a busy work week for me so after work, I was just too tired to go and eat at a sit-down restaurant. Fortunately, I was able to order food from here for delivery. I liked the place so much that I ended up ordering dinner from here two separate nights. The first night that I ordered dinner, I got the pot roast with side salad and savory rice, shrimp Brochette appetizer, and the cherry banana cream cheese pie. The pot roast had good flavor to it as well as the savory rice. But the definite winner was the cherry banana cream cheese pie. Wow, never thought the combination of cherry and bananas would work, but it definitely did. It was so good that I was tempted to lick the container. On the second night, I ordered the Big Mama's Meatloaf, side of green beans and savory rice, and the cherry banana cream cheese pie. The meatloaf was okay, nothing really bad to say about it besides maybe that it doesn't come with any gravy or any sauce. It was a tad dry, but not terribly off-putting. The pie was nothing but awesome again. I have to come back to Paris in a few weeks to complete my work assignment so I can tell you that I plan on grabbing dinner from here again that week. I have posted pictures of the food in takeout containers so I apologize for the presentation. You can't go wrong by getting food here.

    Terrible! I ordered 2 chicken tenders and mashed potatoes and gravy. Seems like a safe bet, no?! The chicken tenders were precooked chicken breast, cut in half, then breaded and fried. ‍ The breading was super greasy and fell right off when you took a bite. Chicken tenders are my go to a lot and these were the worst I've had. Our waitress always also inattentive, and seemed as we were bothering here when we asked for something, like a water refill. There's gotta be something better in town. ‍

    Mango margarita
    Laura M.

    Stopped by this place on the way back from dropping the tractor off at Pyke's. Stopped in at another restaurant first and it was very non friendly and not so clean, so we left. Glad we did because this places atmosphere and staff were far superior. Tried a mango margarita, meatloaf and probably a desert too.

    The service was on point. The food was okay. My husband and I ordered the hush puppies and they were yummy. The rolls that were brought out was yummy. My husband had the chicken fried steak, my husband says to much batter, mashed potatoes were okay and Cole slaw was delicious. I ordered the meatloaf with glazed carrots and Mac and cheese. Meatloaf was okay, Mac and cheese was dry, glazed carrots were yummy. Italian cream cake was moist but tasted weird.

    Friendly Hostess sat us right away. Kiara, our waitress, very knowledgeable and attentive. Her Recommendation of Chicken Fried Steak. Spot On. Some of the most Epic Dessert Offerings that I have seen in one place. Handicap Accessible Restroom.

    Here for the 14th and we've had breakfast here before. Excellent customer service, food. The Old Fashion great as well and the sweet tea.

    Came here for my son's 15 Birthday This is my second review and the score has gone down. Service check, but took forever to get our food. My son's ribeye steak was Definitely not a 37.00 ribeye. Tough and no flavor and yes med rare Very disappointed.

    Went here after playing Pokemon Go and built up an appetite. The sandwich place that I wanted to go to was closer. Prices were very reasonable and affordable. Even though it was busy, I got my food very fast. I enjoyed eating here

    Garlic Shrimp. Everything but the shrimp were cold

Run, don't walk, to Harlem Nights Scratch Kitchen next weekend; it'll be the best food you've eaten in a very long time!

    Very friendly service and it's very cute inside…read more Really good cornbread. I had chicken and stuffing Sunday special with greens and sweet potatoes. The chicken was incredibly tender and not dry at all. I try think maybe it's been brined in buttermilk overnight. It didn't even need the gravy, which I ordered on the side (I highly recommend that). Then I could dip and use just a small amount of gravy. It's an interesting dish, almost like the chicken was cooked in the dressing like a casserole. I have no idea how they did it. Very tender and easy to eat. Comfort food. Great greens. Good sweet potatoes (a little on the sweet side for me, but most people will love them, and they are very tasty). My dinner partner had chicken fried steak with greens and mashed potatoes. CFS was excellent, tender and crispy. Good cream gravy. Good standard mashed potatoes. There was a bit too much salt in several things for my taste, including the chicken gravy and the greens. Both were very flavorful but personally I would cut the salt for both. That's just me. But if you are sensitive to salt you might avoid those particular items or eat sparingly. Peach cobbler for dessert. Also Google will tell you they close at 4pm on Sunday. Not true, they're open until 8:30 pm Sunday.
