We have been eating at Cotton Patch for years. The food is made from scratch, always fresh and delicious. The service is second to none! We are always greeted with a warm Hello and a Smile every time we walk through the door. All of the Servers are hospitable, very friendly and engaging. The food and service a customer receives is consistently phenomenal every single time…Today, Marci served us and she was awesome. We met the manager today, Laura sets a good example for her...
