The food, service and atmosphere were terrific! I got to eat there twice in one week with friends and it was all good. I suggest you order the batter fried mushrooms for an appetizer.

First time to eat dinner at Cotton Patch Cafe in Lufkin, Texas. The steak, pork chop and other dishes were delicious. The bread before the meal was also delicious. Thanks to Riley B for the warm welcome.
