About Cotton Patch
Larry Marshall and Mike Patranella founded the first Cotton Patch in 1989. The two worked together at Pizza Hut before opening their own establishment focusing on local Texas grub.
There are 52 locations in and around Texas. In Nagocdoches, the franchise’s origin, the chamber of commerce recognized the Cotton Patch as their 2008 Medium Business of the Year.
Cotton Patch Review
Each Cotton Patch has a spacious dining room where the wait staff will seat you and serve you at a table. There are also TVs on the walls.
The chefs know what they’re doing, getting everything from pork chops to chicken fried steak to traditional fried shrimp just right.
The menu boasts the world’s best chicken fried chicken, and I won’t argue with that! You should also try some fried pickles, green chile queso, and other appetizer favorites.
While reservations aren’t necessary, this isn’t fast food, so make sure to set aside a little bit of time for your visit.
