Place isnt what it used to be

by txdestiny

I used to love this place. I have been coming here since I was a young child. They took away the pass arounds which was the main reason I went. I love there fried green tomatoes. Please bring em back!!!

Food is terrible, passarounds stingy, prices WAY up!

by toshakitty

I've lived in this area for 20 years. Used to love this restaurant--been going there for the whole 20 years. I will NOT go back!

Not only has the prices increased exponentially, the passarounds have changed from each person getting a plate, to one small tray with a few fried okra and fried green tomatoes, which are shared by all, no matter how many are at your table. If you want more, you have to pay. The rolls are still good, but the muffins weren't.

The FOOD WAS HORRIBLE! I ordered the $18.95 "Sampler" which had every kind of meat you can think of. The popcorn shrimp were good. The ribs were good, but fatty (used to fall off the bone, and advertised this way--I had to fight 1 to get meat and gave up after that). The chicken fried steak and chicken fried chicken had the WORST flavor I've EVER had. We had to pay full price $14.95 for a 12 year old to eat, as kids plates are only for 7 years old and under. For 3 adults, a 12 year old and a 6 year old, with tip, our meal was $100!!! And because our food was so horrible, we walked out still hungry!

It was a Saturday night around 6:00 p.m.. In the past, you would be waiting outside for over an hour at this time of day. The restaurant was not even half full.

They need to give up and go ahead and close the doors. They obviously have let money get the best of what they used to do best.

• Pros: Rolls were throwed and were good
• Cons: Everything else was expensive and gross!

Stay Away From This Place

by cosmo13

We have eaten at the Potatoe Patch 3-4 times in the past and have been okay with the food quality and service. The best part about this restaurant are the rolls-when the actual food arrives...the meal usually goes down hill. But we eat there every once in a while for the experience. Last night we decided to take the in-laws for a unique Texas experience--with the rolls, hometown atmosphere, etc. What we found was the worst service I have ever received in a restaurant anywhere. It took our waitress 30 minutes to come and take our order. She didn't apologize, and was extrememly rude and abrasive. We remained cordial (cause who knows what they do to your food when you aren't!!!) I wanted to get up and leave several times, but the wife and the in-laws said "let's just wait a little more." When the food finally came, I wished we had left. I ordered a bacon burger, and once it was placed in front of me began to eat (you get pretty hungry after being in a restaurant for over an hour without your food!!!) After the first bite, I was done. The meat on the hamburger tasted and smelled nasty. I am still feeling ill this morning. Eveyone else took 3-4 bites of their food and were done. After waiting another 20 minutes for the check, we finally went up to the counter to pay (without receiveing the check....by the way). We told the presumed owner about our experience and he said...we'll try and do better next time. Unacceptable in the restaurant business my friend. We are locals-live about 5 minutes from this restaurant and now have a very strong opinion about it's service and food. There will absolutely not be a next time for us!!!
