Cotton Patch Cafe - Cedar Hill

Great food. Terrible service. The whole environment was very inadequate. Many employees stand around and do nothing. It was as if there was absolutely no management, so no one was motivated to give good service. We waited incredibly long to take place (it was 9 a.m. on a Monday evening and was NOT busy the least). When they finally acknowledged the waiting, they went very unchalantly to a table for us (there were many dirty tables waiting to be driven). They removed the dirty dishes, and then plagued with some staff, then washed the table, then with some staff again, then finally and finally we sit on a soaking wet table. When we asked for a towel to dry the table itself, they came very slowly with paper napkins and ran their hands over about 1/3 of the table. It was a moment of the twilight zone. I have never seen how such a thing is not important, all go around half sleep overall environment. We love Cotton Patch, but not this special (our first time in this place).

Stopped in for lunch, great as always. Had Strawberry Pecan salad. Guest had Chicken Fried Brisket. He said leave that deep fried food to the County Fair ?!

June 2021! I had the chicken spaghetti and butter cake and it was delicious, I just wish the chicken spaghetti had more cheese and seasonings but overall for it to come from a restaurant it was good! It was my first time here and won't be my last, I'm in love with this place and can't wait to try different things on the menu. I forgot to take a pic of the spaghetti ?? but I did take one of the butter cake and as u can see in the pic, it speaks for itself. And it's whip cream and caramel sauce on top, yum? I had got it to go so that's why it's in the container. All in all I'm one satisfied customer? Update March 2022! I just had chicken fried brisket with cream gravy and dr.pepper sauce and it was the bomb! This place never disappoints me, and yes I said brisket and not chicken it's new on their menu, and as y'all can see I had southern green beans and mac and cheese and corn(not pictured) as my sides. I also got the new Texas Hummingbird Cake and let me just tell y'all go try it for yourselves because oh my goodness you won't be disappointed!

Green tomatoes were flavorful and fresh. The dill sauce made the difference. Chicken fried Chicken was good, ask for more gravy. Broccoli rice casserole was better than I expected. The cinnamon apples weren?t my favorite. The sauce was too runny. I wanted a thicker heartier sauce.

My mom and I were seated quickly and greeted nicely. The restaurant was really clean and the customer service was great. The only problem was that mom's meatloaf was undercooked, so we had to send that back. My meal on the other hand was delish. Our waiter Lee made sure to correct that problem for us. So yes we'll be back to try them again due to such great service.
