3 /5 Roger Lay: 11-25-25 Wife and I journeyed to Cleburne on a business trip. Since we would be away from home for a few days, we decided to look around early and pick out a place for dinner when we arrived. Looking over the menu for Cotton Patch, we were excited to try the Blackened Tilapia. I got the suggested sides of mashed potatoes and green beans, while she changed her sides to fried okra and baked apples. The tilapia was a little dry and fell short on the "blackened" aspect. I didnt taste any spice to it, mostly tasted salt. The rice served under it was also under seasoned, the potatoes were a bit stiff and cold, but the gravy was good. The green beans didnt have much taste at all. Wife liked the okra, said the apples tasted as if from a can, and said her tilapia was moist, but again, had no spice. Overall, it didnt live up to expectations, and left me wishing I had not seen the menu online.
