We’ve always had wonderful food & service here, but recently we had the absolute pleasure of having Lisa as our server. Not only was she outstanding, she was so very kind as to ask permission to hold our fussy baby so that we could finish our meals! We were so grateful and we will definitely be back to visit, especially since our baby boy now has a new friend! ❤️

First time trying this location and we are so happy we stopped. Our server Ronelle was amazing she sat us at our table immediately and took our drink order all in 2 minutes. She was attentive and service was great. The food was great and to us was better than some of the other Cotton Patch locations. Glad we stopped and we will be back!

We ordered online, they called and let us know they were out of chicken and dumplings. We chose to wait, they were out last time we tried to order. We ordered a bowl which was about 5 bites for our daughter. The baked potato was over cooked. The peach cobbler was very small not worth $5 and we didn't even get the ice cream. We love our Cotton Patch but this time they disappointed us.
