Cotton Patch Cafe is Serving Up a New Texas Caviar Appetizer

— December 19, 2024 — Lifestyle
The Texas-inspired restaurant concept, Cotton Patch Cafe, recently unveiled a menu refresh and a host of new menu items, including the Texas caviar appetizer, and the sweet and spicy West TX wings.

In an effort to continue with the brand's mission of offering scratch-made comfort food, but at a more affordable price, Cotton Patch Cafe has tweaked some of its signature offerings and its pricing. For instance, the brand is introducing a new $8.99 Soup & Salad Combo and a new $9.99 Texas Value Meals menu, both of which are designed to deliver quality and affordability.

At the same time, the brand aims to draw new customers in with tempting items like the Texas caviar appetizer, which features black-eyed peas, black beans, roasted corn, pico de gallo, and diced bell peppers, all served with crunchy tortilla chips.

As Brandon Coleman III, CEO of Cotton Patch Cafe, explains, "Straight-shootin’ value is at the heart of everything we do. With this new menu, our guests can enjoy a scratch-made meal and a large serving of Texas hospitality for less than it would cost them to drive-thru many restaurants."
