Cotton Patch Cafe

We were traveling through Denison today and had lunch at the Cotton Patch. They were very busy, but that caused no issues with service or food. The service was great, they take good care of their customers, the food was great and of great quality and presented well, the portions are excellent and the price is fair. All in all it was a great place and I recommend it highly and I will definitely be back. I got so distracted when the food was brought to us that I forgot to take pictures upon its arrival, so after we already started eating I remembered pictures, sorry about that. The food was great.

Before we talk food, a shout out to our server, Ireland. Despite being somewhat busy and having worked the lunch shift too, she was really attentive and so welcoming. I also need to drop in a conversation from another table. Their server told them he’d been at Cotton Patch before he was born. When his mom was pregnant she worked here! So cool. Now, to the food. Some of the best queso ever. I know that’s a bold statement but this brisket queso is downright craveable! Our entrees were a solid high scoring hit too. We had the chicken fried brisket and chicken fried steak. As a note, I told my better half the green beans so good they tasted like they came from the family reunion. For dessert, I couldn’t resist the Mama’s cake—yellow cake and cheesecake combo. It’s definitely rich (no surprise) but my was it was it tasty. If you are passing through or just need something different, this chain won’t disappoint.

Let me just say this first: my server, Chase, was absolutely amazing! He has a great energy and is very attentive and helpful! Great job!! Texas born and Texas proud, Cotton Patch Cafe has been in business for more than 30 years.. the food is usually pretty good. Tonight was a little different. I started with the brisket queso and chips.. it was delicious! Queso Blanco with a bit of brisket and a drizzle of barbecue sauce.. it was excellent! Then I had the Shiner Bock beer battered fish and chips. In true pub food fashion, the three fish filets were thickly battered and fried... but they were a little over done and tasted burnt. Caesar salad was perfect! Fresh and crisp with just the right amount of dressing.. Probably won't do seafood next time. I'll just stick to the favorites..

My husband and I visited tor the first time today.(We're not from Denison) We were there a little after 10:30 and it was pretty busy but we got seated quickly. We were given some complimentary bread rolls with butter. They were fresh. The inside was soft and warm. I ordered fried green tomatoes for an appitizer( I've always wanted to try them and i wasnt disappointed!) They were nice and crispy not mushy at all. They had a little bite to them. It came with avocado ranch which was surprisingly yummy. I ordered the chicken fried chicken, broccoli rice casserole and garlic mashed potatoes with white gravy. To drink was just a soda. The chicken fried chicken was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. Great flavor. The mashed potatoes were creamy and the broccoli rice casserole was very flavorful. My husband ordered a sweet tea with lemon, the chicken fried brisket, loaded baked potato and a salad. He let me try a little bit of his food. Im picky with my sweet tea and usually wont order it when at a restaurant because its always too sweet but here it was just perfect. Just the righr amount of sweetness. The chicken fried brisket was a first for us. It was nice and crispy on the outside, the inside was soft and not dry at all. Has great flavor. The salad was a good size. Im not sure if they make theirbown crutons or not but that was ny favorite party of the salad. Overall everything exceeded out expectations. If you haven't been to eat here I would definitely recommend it!

The cooks here know what they are doing.when they can make grandma's Sunday dinner tastes great on their plate. Well.... let's just say not to many people can make blackeyed pees and catfish double mashed potatoes. Oh.. nevermind just look at the picture. Oh and the brought me out a slice of that hummingbird cake for my birth day!!

Service was really great! Food...not so great. I like hot food. It wasn't. This is our second time there and the first time the food was absolutely wonderful. This time the food tasted a little different. And I ordered the exact same thing since it was so good last time! Maybe it was the lukewarm temp, if that, that changed the whole taste of it! I don't know how it could be so different from one visit to the next.
