Cotton Patch Cafe

"Christina is an awesome GM. For everyone complaining about the lighting. It’s fine and I don’t see how it’s dark? The food and staff was on point. One of my go to restaurants here in Plainview. Susan is a great waitress. Super nice and professional. 12/10 :)"

"Visited for the first time tonight to this particular Cotton Patch and never seen a Cotton Patch so poorly operated. Restaurant is old and not well kept or cleaned. Trim at our booth hand been missing for a long time. Place looked generally worn down from use in dining area. There was dust all over the top of the booth wall and metal art. Lighting was so low it was hard to read the glossy menus for even my kids. Took about 25 minutes to get appetizers. Drinks never refilled. Food took about 45 minutes. My steak filet had no flavor and presented very poorly. Didn’t get my loaded mashed potatoes until meal was over. But they turned out to be only cheese and potatoes. We saw the staff repeatedly over in their areas watching their phones alone and together or visiting in general. My son saw our food setting for 10+ minutes at kitchen. All this and never more than 5 tables of guests filled. Now we know why. We did see/hear the manager trying to get staff moving several times. So very disappointed with this particular Cotton Patch."

"I would love to leave 2 separate reviews, but that's not an option so I will settle with 3 stars. We are in town for a week, and dined in the first night in town. Christian was our server. He did an excellent job, really brought southern hospitality to light. Absolutely a 5 star review for him, and the food was very good. We left him a great tip and enjoyed our evening there. A few days later, we came back and had the "pleasure" of Adriana C being our server. Very unfriendly, and very poor service. Spent most of her time in the corner on her phone, while all of our drinks ran out and didn't get rolls till we asked the third time. The food came out and was incorrect, and she argued with us about it so we let it be. No spoons came with the soup, and we ended up asking a different waitress for them because she didn't come back for over 15 mins. The food was very lackluster, and definitely not worth the $93 for 4 of us. I highly recommend this restaurant on a good night, but we won't be coming back due to our second experience."

"Place was referred to us by a friend. It did not disappoint! Tried the famous deep fried bacon and the fried mushrooms. The mushrooms were huge!! Awsome on both. I had the chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes. Home cooked. One of the best I ever had. The staff was super friendly! I highly recommend if your in the area."

"We ate at the Cotton Patch restaurant in Plainview on July 11, 2023. We were surprised to find that it is actually in a strip center rather than a freestanding building like the others we had seen before. We were seated quickly and the service was good throughout the entire meal. I had the lemon herb grilled salmon, which was very tasty, and my husband had the Dr. Pepper jalapeno bacon burger, which he thought was delicious. Although we went at lunchtime, the restaurant wasn't terribly busy, but it wasn't deserted either. If we make it back to Plainview, we definitely wouldn't mind going back."
