“Food was good had chicken salad on lettuce. Only complaint is they should cut the lettuce in much smaller bites. They used whole leaves thru out the whole greens and the plastic utensils are not sufficient to cut up the lettuce. adaquately.“

“GREAT FISH AND CHICKEN SEASOONED WELL AND HOT..WAS SEASONED GREAT A“

“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!!!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Today I visited this spot and was honestly surprised, in a good way. The service, cleanliness, and the taste of the food were all on point. I was surprised because a lot of new Southern-style, minority-owned restaurants are popping up, and not all of them take customer service and food quality seriously. This one does.

I believe in paying for good service, and I’m usually the person who leaves 3 stars or less. But this place earned all 5.

From the register, the cashier was professional and helpful. Then the owner, who I didn’t even know, walked by and greeted me with genuine friendliness. The food came out fresh, hot, and looking right. You can tell when food has been sitting around… this wasn’t that. The presentation alone told the story.

Lastly, I’m a picky eater… but I SMASHED this food. 😂 Nothing left on the plate.

Mansfield, TX — we’ve got a real Southern food spot, and it’s worth every penny.“

“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 ‼️“

“I can’t say enough good things about Slim Chickens! We came here tonight for the first time. It was a pre-pandemic experience! The salt and pepper was out. All the napkins and lids and straws and plastic ware. Everything other places now hoard behind the counter and grumble to give you… Slim Chickens gives you! And with a smile!! Great great place.“
