I had just finished working a long day and just wanted to get a meal and return to a hotel room. I placed this order online from the parking lot then walked in to wait. I expected to wait 20 minutes which was fine because I love fresh hot food. I was greeted immediately upon entering and my food order was checked on. After a few minutes, I was informed of a shift change and also the person now responsible for my order. Waited a few more minutes and my order was packed and ready to go… all in about 12 minutes. Better time than expected.

I got to my hotel and the food was still hot and all was packed perfectly and delicious. I’ll be visiting again soon for both the friendly service and food.

The cornbread appetizer is pretty good, the brisket queso is a joke so dont get it. I really like the meatloaf, and the casseroles, the chicken fried steak was tough and not tender at all and the Mac n cheese was okay. Their sweet tea is solid. The service was solid as well. Our waitress was friendly and on top of things, the manager of that place needs to do a deep clean on that whole place though for sure. Their pricing is really fair though so thats a plus! Overall I give this place a 7.1/10

First things first, waiter Mike needs a raise! Amazing service from him, on top of everything, extremely nice, very positive attitude. I don’t think I saw him stop moving!

Walked in to a completely packed restaurant, running like a well oiled machine. We sat waiting behind 5 or 6 families and were seated within 20 minutes or less. Very quick for a Sunday lunch rush.

We ordered the Mushroom Swiss Patty Melt and the Blackened Tilapia. Both were at our table before we even finished the first basket of rolls. Which is saying something because I was inhaling them like it was the last thing I would eat.

The Blackened Tilapia tasted wonderful, excellent seasoning, flakey, and just the right amount of fish taste.
The Mushroom Swiss Patty Melt was probably one of the best burgers I’ve had in a very long time. The spread they put on it with the buttery Texas Toast made for an incredible combination of flavor.

Last thing I would like to say is there is a review of 2 stars on here that had my laughing to hard. They said they picked their food up, put it in the fridge, waited a day, and then ate it. Said they were upset because it wasn’t fresh! Of course it wasn’t! You waited a day to eat it!

Anyway, definitely stop by here if you’re looking for a pleasent meal!

I spent the weekend in Abilene and was looking for a place to grab a bite to eat. I came across this great little café. The food was amazing! The staff was wonderful. I had the sweetest waitress. Everything was so good, I went back the next day so I could take my son to eat here before we headed home . He loved it as well. The rolls are some of the best we’ve ever had. I highly recommend the cotton patch cafe❤️

I would also recommend trying the strawberry shortcake! Delicious

It was busy but we got seated pretty quick. The staff was friendly. Lanae was our waitress and she was awesome! We never had to ask for a refill and she would always check on us and make sure we had what we needed. Loved the fried fish and chicken fried steak! The food was hot and fresh!

Food was great. Fried green tomatoes were cooked well and came out hot, the strawberry salad had more strawberries than expected on it, and the chuckwagon chicken was grilled tasty and juicy. The peach cobbler sweet tea was excellent. Service was phenomenal.
Of note, all of the main dining area fans were turned off due to one customer requesting the fan above them to be turned off. Also, an exceedingly obnoxious, ear piercing ringing/beeping was heard from the kitchen for a mojority of our stay.

We had a great experience at Cotton Patch thanks to our waitress, Josie. Our service was fast, and she was incredibly attentive. We never had to ask twice for anything and were never left waiting. She stayed on top of drinks, checked in at the right times, and made the whole meal smooth and enjoyable. Definitely one of the best service experiences we’ve had. Thank you, Josie!

Cotton Patch is one of those places our family can count on every time. The staff is always genuinely kind and attentive, which makes such a difference. They are especially great with kids, patient, friendly, and never make us feel like a burden when we come in with a full table. The food is consistently good, hot, and exactly what we expect each visit. It’s comforting to know we can walk in and have a smooth, pleasant experience from start to finish. We’re thankful to have a restaurant in town that serves good food and treats families so well.

Well having to come back to update my experience, we’ve previously visited and had AMAZING experiences, we tonight were let down by every thing at tonight’s visit, we arrived about 8pm, they don’t close until 9:30, we ordered fried green tomato’s, my husband ordered a bbq potato, and I ordered fish, as well as wanting bread pudding.

The server comes back after about 10-15 mins to let me know they don’t have the tomato’s their kitchen threw them away, cool disappointed but not mad, I then ordered fried mushrooms, and asked about bread pudding, and was told “I can bring you the ingredients to make it”, ha funny, but unimpressed, the server doesn’t return for a while longer and a manager walks up to let us know, that they don’t have the potato for my husbands meal, we’ve already been here about 35 minutes at this point, I said we will just eat somewhere else, it was ridiculous, just after that, I won’t even be returning, we just had an amazing experience this week, to be completely let down by the staff today.
So sad. Management needs to really up their game.

Was in Abilene and celebrated my birthday at the Cotton Patch. They were out of several items, so choices were somewhat limited. The service was slow but mostly attentive. Would have loved to give all 5 stars, but everything was just a bit off. Hope to try again when everyone maybe isn’t as worn out, or all items are available.
