We truly enjoyed our family dinner last night at Cotton Patch in Bryan! Angie our server was amazing and the food was delicious! Towards the end of our meal Melissa came by our table and was also so kind and welcoming. Highly recommend this location!

Damian served us, a couple times now, and we are at the point we ask for him! Attentive and kind!

The food here is surprisingly delicious! The pork chop is always perfectly cooked. Excellent choice of sides. And the cinnamon butter and rolls are out of this world.

The service by Brian was excellent and his Manager Melissa treated us like VIPs. So the food was great(Tilapia and meatloaf) . I would only suggest more TVs in the eating areas to liven up the atmosphere a bit. Overall great food and service!!!
