Reviews for Cotton Patch Cafe in Ennis, TX
Stopped by for dinner on the way back to Houston. Found it on Google maps. The food was just ok. My Caesar salad had enough... dressing for three salads, and my grilled shrimp were already cold when they arrived at the table. The fried green tomatoes weresliced too thick and weren't cooked well. The country fried bacon was interesting. Not nuts about it, but I'd order it again forsomeone to try. The dinner rolls, however, were very good. Service was slow, had to wait several minutes before we wererecognized and then seated. Waited longer than one should expect for drinks, etc. We learned that our server's name was Jay.Jay was pretty slammed. He was the only server when we arrived. I think he did pretty well, considering that he was taking careof about eight tables. One table was a party of about eight people. Eventually others joined him and the pace of service pickedup. I commend Jay for pushing through, though a little easing of the attitude we experienced when we arrived is suggested. Weknow it's not his fault the management didn't have staffing at a good level. Anyway, we talked with Jay and prayed for him andfor his grandfather. Happy to say that when we left Jay, he was smiling and in a much better mood. Hopefully he will have thehelp he needs in the future. Read more
While the server did a decent job the rest was very disappointing. The food took really long to come out and when it did only... half the food was brought out. Lots of missing sides dishes. When they we?re brought out they were over cooked and cold. Stakeswas not cooked as ordered side dish that was ordered they did not even have but failed to inform us of this. The manager did herbest to accommodate these issues but still would not recommend going to this location and will not go back. Read more
Great place to eat dinner. Always fresh. Steak is cooked right. Their fish is always good too. Would have given 5 stars, but... sometimes the wait staff doesn't pay attention to their tables or front when people come in. Takes time to be seated even whennot so busy. Read more
The brisket queso was good. The grilled chicken strips were "blackened" and not grilled. So hot I couldn't even eat them. Menu... shows grilled so be sure to ask when ordering. Read more
Exquisite was my server and she was absolutely that! Great service and old home Texas food, a perfect chicken fired steak fork... tender and seasoned just right with heavenly jalapeno gravy. This is possibly the best meal on the planet, of course you can'teat this every day but as a treat it's the best. French fries, baked squash and oven fresh rolls rounded out a perfect roadsidemeal. Exquisite needs another mention in a world of servers that are okay, she had that light every time she smiled. She wasalso really good at her job. Those two things are the difference between a nice meal and a great dining experience.... You mighteven say Exquisite!! Read more
I had the Backend Tilapia and it was well done ? My other family members also enjoyed their food. Our server was great, she... kept our waters flowing and she was very attentive. Although she was the only experienced server there, she kept things going.The only other server there had just completed her training. The restroom was somewhat clean but could use some deodorizer.Otherwise, it was a good place with good service. Read more
Oh boy where do I start. Order cornbread skillet never got it no explanation Bread roll had a baked fly in it no apology or... fresh ones. Country fried steak steak wasn?t fresh. Order chicken sandwich got a chicken fried steak instead. Meatloaf never hadit with spicy sauce before definitely not coming back. Management no where to be found restaurant is ran by highschoolers.literally no one ate the food Read more
We had a really delicious early dinner. The Chicken Fried Chicken was hot with a crispy crust and juicy white meat. Cotton Patch... finely got smart. They brought us those lovely rolls, 4 instead of 3 they used to bring. Never could figure that out for a partyof 2, 3 rolls. Now the count has evened out. Thank you! Read more
