“The food is delicious, but when it comes to paying for your food they bring this little machine to your table to payout mine you they already put the gratuity on your bill, even if there is 2 or more. The waiter or waitress have a nerve to ask for additional tips, but you don’t know that they already charge you gratuity and asking for more money. I don’t think this is fair and right to do. Me and my husband came for our anniversary we enjoyed everything, but telling us that you have to share your tips with others and asking for more money is very wrong. Not good for business 🤦🏼‍♀️“

“Went in on a Wednesday evening during the Christmas shopping season. Traffic was heavy to get there and parking is hard to find. However the restaurant staff were very welcoming and friendly. Alcoholic drinks were creative with numerous options. Bartender and manager discussed with me my preferences on alcohol and made a gin drink that was perfect! AND most importantly, the restaurant was able to cater to my gluten free restrictions and took them seriously sending over the manager. Being gluten free did of course limit my options. The only criticism is that the food was a bit greasy. My friend got the oxtails and felt like it had too much oil in/on it. My salmon and potatoes were tasty, perhaps a bit heavy but I just packed up the rest and took them home. I would recommend!!!“

“With immense potential, this place could easily exceed expectations. The overall setup left me impressed. Although the staff was friendly during my visit for dinner, the wait time of one hour for reheated frozen and canned food was excessive. I anticipated more from the venue itself, and unfortunately, it didn't leave a lasting impression. If you ever aspire to achieve greatness, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me.“

“I would like to compliment the cooks at the @Cotton Patch in Cedar Hill. I ordered dinner through DoorDash tonight, (1/9/26). The chicken & dumplings were outstanding with generous dumplings & chicken with corn and baked broccoli & rice casserole. I ordered 2 servings for lunch tomorrow.😂😂 I ordered my husband the delicious 🤤 meatloaf, baked squash and garlic mashed potatoes. I always forget to take photos of the delectable dishes before eating. 🍽️ 😂 I want the public to know we’ve been ordering food from Cotton Patch for many years now and each entree is always delicious 😋 🤤 and on point ‼️ Thank you, Cotton Patch Team for putting such love ❤️ into these amazing meals ‼️“
