I walked in and was so excited about having my meal. I went to the restroom to wash my hands and saw a roach crawling on the counter. Needless to say, I went elsewhere. If you can ruin a big gurl’s appetite, you’re truly nasty!

Last night, I called in a simple order for one person. I walked over from my hotel, checked in and paid. I also stupidly pre-tipped. Seven people walked in and received their carry-out orders while I waited. I had no acknowledgement after my initial check in and payment. I counted 7 wait staff and a manager working tables and carry out, with about 12 tables occupied. I thought it may be the kitchen who were short-staffed, but when I looked, there appeared to be five cooks. The manager was running tables and the hostess was washing dishes when I walked in. I don’t know the crux of their issues, but when the manager gave me what he THOUGHT was my order(it wasn’t) he did say my wait time was«unacceptable». Luckily, I checked the order before leaving and they’d packaged the wrong thing. Despite my wait being«unacceptable», the manager did not offer to refund any of my order or my $ 2.00 tip I paid prior to the experience. The food was less than mediocre and I didn’t receive the condiments I’d requested — not worth the $$, time, or hassle. Do yourself a favor and visit ANY other restaurant in this area. Customer service is NOT on the menu. One star is far too generous for this place.

We had great meal of ribeye steak, fully loaded baked potatoe, topped off with a pretty good BlackBerry cobbler. We will be back.

GREATFOOD!!! Ate lunch at Cotton Patch Café in Lufkin today. I was very impressed with the food, ambiance, and staff. I ordered the lunch salad with chicken, fresh strawberries, pecans and blue cheese. Everything was excellent, tasty and fresh. The chicken breast was freshly roasted and still warm. My boyfriend had the chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes. We also tried the blackberry cobbler with ice cream. I highly recommend eating at Cotton Patch Café. Since l live in Conroe, Tx, I am hoping to see one opening in the Woodlands or Conroe area soon!!!

Great food and service, lunch specials are great bargain. Have eaten at several Cotton Patches in east Texas. They all prove worth the time!

Do you like Applebees/TGI Fridays/Insert-American-Chain-Restaurant-Here? Then you’ll love the Cotton Patch Café. It’s a knock off of the same formula, without so much crap on the walls. Popular with the after-church crowd for sure, this place fills up fast after 11:30 on a Sunday. You’ve been warned. That being said, the management seems to have the right staff to handle the rush. For what it’s worth, the chicken fried steak was tasty, and the portion was nothing to sneeze at.

Went there tonight. I had been there before and I always seem to not have good luck with fresh hot food. So I thought I would try there burger. French Fries were were cold and chewy. I watched the kitchen help break all kinds of health codes as he ate with his serving gloves on and then serve others. Not sure I will go there again.

Clean, comfortable and crowded with the church folks on a Sunday at 11:30(sorry, Mom! We’re on a road trip! We’ll be in church next week. Really!), but were seated promptly and service was great. The menu is down home country cooking(chicken n dumplings, meat loaf, chicken fried steak), but also has a number of low cal heart healthy choices. We split what was supposed to be the grilled salmon and steamed veggies(317 calories) and added a Caesar salad(calorie count thankfully unknown). The salad was good and had lots of shaved Parmesan and homemade croutons — only downside: a couple of pieces of lettuce were showing their age with black edges. The grilled fish was good… but it wasn’t salmon(maybe tilapia?). We enjoyed it nevertheless. As I said, we shared it and the waiter graciously had the kitchen split it for us. All in all not a bad experience. We’d go back… and insist on the salmon… and maybe try a dessert(they sounded great)?

The food was very good. The wait staff was very nice. After we got there the restaurant experienced a rush of customers but the staff handled it with no problem. They kept apologizing but didn’t need to to. We got the Cotton Patch salad and chicken fried chicken. Both were very good. We have no complaints.

Just visiting Lufkin for the day and this was next to our hotel. The reviews were spot on. Great food and service. Highly recommend the chicken fried steak. Enjoyed the potatoes and mac&cheese. Would have tried dessert but no more room in the tummy.

On a last minute girls only vacation, a neighbor recommended to eat here and OMG, I’m so glad we did! The service is friendly, professional and promptly serves the best home cooked comfort food around town. I had the lunch portion chicken fried steak, garlic mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli that were perfectly cooked. My friend had the chicken dumplings, fried okra and garlic mashed potatoes which I know she loved because she finished her lunch before me! The homemade yeast rolls were mouth watering and to die for delicious with more butter, LOL! However, the real treat was the day we were there, Cotton Patch was celebrating their 25 Year Anniversary!!! The complimentary dessert was their own DP warm chocolate cake! I can’t believe I’ve had a lake house only 40 minutes away for 16 years and its the 2nd time in 14 years I’ve visited Lufkin and was greatly amazed with Cotton Patch’s quality of food, perfect plate portions, along with friendly service and professionalism. Happy 25th Anniversary Cotton Patch and I can’t wait till you expand to Houston, Texas!!!

I’ve been here a few years ago and it was awesome. Today, not so much. The waitress seemed very new and inexperienced. My steak was charred but ok. I think I’ll stick to Ralph and Kacoos next door.

I’m in town for the week. I’ve heard from co workers in Houston to try Cotton Patch when I get to Lufkin. I had the chicken fried chicken, mashed potatoes, corn, rolls and cornbread. Peach cobbler for dessert. The good was great and there was a beautiful young lady to take my lunch order to go. Wait staff was friendly, and helpful. Next time I’m in Lufkin, guess where I’m going? Cotton Patch.

I love Cotton Patch! I actually used to work here when I was in high school as a hostess and cashier. Now, every time I come to Lufkin, it’s one of my must eat locations. They have my favorite Chicken Fried Steak in town ! Plus, they have pretty awesome baked potatoes! They also have delicious fresh bread and corn bread. But, the icing on the cake, are their delicious cobblers! My favorite is Peach, and I’m really hoping they serve it the day I’m going!

The Dr. Pepper chocolate cake was an amazing end to a solid meal. And the waitress’s southern accents brought a smile to our whole group! Stop in if your driving through, we will again.

Cute décor, good service, great salad. I really liked the strawberry pecan salad with chicken. The strawberry walnut vinegarette dressing was excellent. We would definitely go back to this restaurant when in Lufkin.

We were passing through Lufkin on our way back to Houston and needed a place to eat on a Sunday afternoon. We searched reviews online and the consensus for the best place to eat in Lufkin seemed to be the Hole in One Café — this was based on Google reviews. However, when we arrived, the parking lot only had 3 cars in the lot and the parking lot at Cotton Patch Café(nearby) was pretty packed. We decided to trust this observation over the scant # of reviews we found online for the Lufkin area and chose the Cotton Patch Café instead. All in all, Cotton Patch Café is a pretty good place with home style cooking and friendly service. It’s nothing fancy — sort of a Western feel on the inside — kind of like a Cracker Barrel minus the gift shop and smaller. My husband had the chicken fried steak. It was good, hand battered and huge. The mashed potatoes were made with red potatoes and had the skins mixed in… Really good. Only bad experience for him was that the coffee was really bad… I had the blackened talapia, which was quite tasty. There were 2 filets on my plate… way more than I could eat. It was served over seasoned rice, which was also quite flavorful. All in all, a good experience. We’ve posted photos of our plates when our meal was served. We hope Unilocal catches on in East Texas because we know there is a problem whenever Whataburger gets the highest reviews in all of Lufkin. We would recommend the Cotton Patch Café if you are in the mood for home cooking. It’s nothing spectacular or original but the food and service still merit a solid 4 stars.

This was my first visit to the Cotton Patch, and I loved it. I had the buffalo chicken sandwich and hubby had the big bubba burger. No complaints from either of us. The staff was very friendly and very efficient. My only regret is that I haven’t eaten there sooner.
