Atmosphere is a little small but it really adds to the whole experience. Can't say enough about how incredibly friendly the staff is......EVERYTIME I have been. Waiting for a table is not unexpected this place is THAT GOOD!“

“Our church group went here last Saturday afternoon after a church singing. We had about 20 people and we got seated immediately. Heather was our server. Let me tell you folks. She is amazing! Got our drink orders quickly. Remembered what we were drinking, which is mind boggling! Got our food out very quickly and of course it was delicious. Then she split our checks up into about 15-16 separate bills. I highly recommend this place and try to get heather as your server. Great job all around, Cotton Patch! Thank you. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼“

“The food n service is excellent. It was my first time and the young lady was pleasant with her service . The catfish is my new love here 😍“

“Second time for a gaggle of planes to come in for lunch. Agree with other reviews. Little short staffed, but with our big crowd, understanable. The breakfasts (served all day) are really good. Burgers are average size and plenty of fixins and fries were OK too. Nice and VERY clean cafe and terminal bldg. I'd call it at $75 hamburger, just short of a $100 burger :-) Recommend the breakfasts A+++ Will be on our radar when a bunch of us want to fly down for a good meal.“

“Slow service. Asked for more napkins, never came. Perhaps it's just slow on Mondays. Food was a large portion for the Bourbon Street Chicken and Andouille Sausage Penne, and in the Alfredo sauce, it was quite tasty. I would really have liked a smaller portion and lower price. The atmosphere was frustrating. Having to sit and listen to those in the booth behind me have a one-sided conversation when there were plenty of other booths available for the greeter to have placed them. Greeters, space people out!“

“One of my favorite places. Good drinks, great food, nice staff.“

“The food and service was amazing and a good price for the portions u get.“

“I love this location. The food is always perfect. However, today was special. After we sat down, we were greeted by Rochelle. She is a trip and so sweet. Her friendly attitude is amazing. I was there with my parents and siblings. My mother was having a sad day and Rochelle brought her coworker Eric over to our table. He sang to my mom. No reason, he just did it. It made her day! It was a pleasant surprise. The people who work here are just genuinely the sweetest people you could meet. We come here often but today was extra special.“

“a life saver. came out on a bad snow storm when no one would and got my heater back up and running in no time..“

“I visited there three (3) weeks ago for the first time and it was the best soul food ever. I live in Lancaster, TX and no clue that it was so close to me. I am getting ready to go there now because I am craving for some of the food. If I could rate them higher I would.“

“I'm not here to bash the business but to help this was my first time eating at this location today. customer service was great,they got my food out in great timing . But I would have to say I was disappointed in the food I don't know if the reason for if it was close to closing time..But I must say I had the 10 piece meal the food was Bland not a taste of seasoning. which also every piece of fish had that fatty taste to it which combined with the no seasoning made it not so great. my opinion I will give it a 4 out of 10.but like I said I'm not trying to bash them. I'm all for coming back and eating there hoping today was a bad day..“

“Went to eat with some of my sisters and we were pressed for time. It took a while before someone acknowledged us being there. By once the waiter showed up here was on it from jump. We made him aware of the time frame that we needed to be out due to previous obligations. He let us know that if we were to sit and eat we would not get out in the time needed. He suggested that we made our orders to go and he would do his best to have us leaving around that time. This man understood the assignment and we were leaving it no more than 5 minutes past the time we were supposed to be heading out. He was amazing and I wish I knew his name so he could be recognized of his amazing service. Not only did he accomplish the assignment but kept us updated on the process of our meals being prepared. I would have to say that never have I ever been to a Red Robin's restaurant and was disappointed in the service. This is one of the reasons why this is my favorite burger place to dine in.

Update... I found my receipt and the waiters name is Alphonso“

“The Famous Chicken Fried Steak was just perfect and there was plenty of it huge Baked Potato and the Mango margarita was very good our server was very friendly and always smiling ! And 5 ⭐️ for the Halloween decorations ! Highly recommend Rocket Cafe“

“The fish was GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD and they cook everything when you order. They're very polite and punctual plus the food was fresh.“

“Great service and great food.“

“The management team was great working with me and my party. There were 20+ people in our party and the staff did a great job meeting our needs on the day of my gathering in July 2025. The food was delicious, the music and vibe was on point. i visited this spot over a year ago and didn't have a good experience with food or service but my recent visit reflected a totally different experience as mentioned above. I will definitely visit again and hopefully its cooler so that we. an enjoy their patio area.“

“The Customer Service of the young lady at the register and store Manager Jesus went above and beyond Service. Mom and I decided to dine in to eat some seafood, we ordered a 2 and 3 piece fish meal and they offered us some fried shrimp for an additional reasonable price with 2 waters. The food was delivered to our table hot, fresh and it was delicious. The Manager Jesus even came by our table to see if we needed anything else. Definitely recommend to try this location, will definitely be going back.“

“Food was delicious hot and fresh waitress was spot on . It was real clean inside and out“

“This is an above average location with very decent food. I went during the overnight hours and the servers were very upbeat and vibrant. The attention to detail was superb. A very jovial atmosphere between the cooks and servers/waiters.

Parking: The crows roost in the trees on the edge of the parking lot at night. If you don't want your vehicle messed up, park away from the trees.“

“Reminds me of a place my Nana used to take me. The environment is calm, relaxing and welcoming! Food was good, fast and servers and workers were fun to talk to.“

“Everything’s perfect , except for 1 screaming kid“

“This place is a hidden gem, one of the best fried chicken restaurants I've ever tried and that's a lot!!!! To say !!! Hear me when I'm saying this. Not only the fried chicken is good but they have also a great menu, with many options! No other fried chicken restaurant can match all you get, for the price you pay. So if you are in the area and craving a good fried chicken, no you know!“

“This is a restaurant inside of a gas station. Food here is good. Service is always quick and courteous. The brisket tacos are pretty awesome. A step above for sure with the smoked brisket. They also have a loaded baked potato (done chophouse style w/ smoked meat and baked beans, etc.) that will leave you stuffed if you can eat it all. Great place to eat.“

“We arrived, and their was a live saxophone player performing. We generally go to Red Robin but wanted to try something local... We ordered their basic hamburger with pepper jack, and it is the best burger my husband and I have ever tried.
We're coming back tomorrow with my in-laws. They even have a vegan burger option which is always appreciated. Plus the service was friendly.“

“Excellent service and delicious food! Joshua, the chef, did an excellent job and made our first experience at Waffle House a pleasant one!“

“Shaday was an excellent waitress. She was attentive and kind and everything we ordered was on point. The food exceptional! Everything tasted great. And Mr. Ty Robinson! Made sure all was well from the time we entered the building. Will be coming back soon!“
