Cotton Patch Cafe

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 were sliced too thick and weren't cooked well. The country fried bacon was interesting. Not nuts about it, but I'd order it again for someone to try. The dinner rolls, however, were very good. Service was slow, had to wait several minutes before we were recognized 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 care of about eight tables. One table was a party of about eight people. Eventually others joined him and the pace of service picked up. I commend Jay for pushing through, though a little easing of the attitude we experienced when we arrived is sug

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't eat this every day but as a treat it's the best. French fries, baked squash and oven fresh rolls rounded out a perfect roadside meal. Exquisite needs another mention in a world of servers that are okay, she had that light every time she smiled. She was also really good at her job. Those two things are the difference between a nice meal and a great dining experience.... You might even say Exquisite!!

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 when not so busy.
