Cotton Gin Cafe - Prosper

This was my first visit to the restaurant, and it was absolutely fantastic! The food was served hot and fresh. Although the service was a bit slow, we did go on a Friday, so that was to be expected. I ordered the wagyu burger, and the meat was incredibly tender—literally melted in my mouth. My wife had the fish and chips, and she found the fish to be perfectly flaky. Being from the UK, she said it was the closest she'd ever experienced to authentic fish and chips from home. The chili and lime fries were outstanding as well! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great time in a pleasant atmosphere. I can't wait to return!

This restaurant is undoubtedly one of the best dining spots in Texas. We've enjoyed it for nearly six years since relocating to Dallas from Houston. The service is excellent, but it's important to be patient, as it's a small town and they occasionally run low on staff, just like many other restaurants, which can lead to somewhat slower service. However, the food and the atmosphere make it all worthwhile!

We ordered just an apple pie and a sopapilla cheesecake, which both arrived on skillets and were cold from the fridge. The coffee we ordered was overly strong, lukewarm, and smelled like burnt cigarettes. To make matters worse, they brought us coffee without any cream, and we had to flag down our waitress every time we needed something, even for our check. When I asked if the apple pie was supposed to be served cold, the waitress initially said yes, claiming it wasn't meant to be heated. The sopapilla cheesecake was difficult to cut and came with ice cream, which was quite strange. After a moment, she returned to say the apple pie was indeed supposed to be heated. The manager on duty really needs to pay attention to how subpar service affects the restaurant's reputation. This place is well-known for its good food, and we have enjoyed hot meals and attentive service in the past. Unfortunately, today was a disappointment.

This was our first visit to the restaurant since they relocated to Prosper, and it was a delightful experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff were exceptionally friendly. The food and service were outstanding. We ordered the Hot Italian and the Southwest Salad, both of which were fantastic. However, my highest praise goes to the onion rings. They are truly a masterpiece—crispy and flavorful without becoming greasy as they cool. It’s been a while since I've enjoyed such large and perfectly made onion rings.

What a great place! Magnificently restored old building, beautifully decorated with theme art and signage. The food was excellent. Had the Waygu Land fried steak and the caprese bruschetta as an appetizer. Come on!
