The Cotton Patch Supper Club, Shawano

I have vacationed up in Shawano several times and always look forward to stopping by the Cotton Patch. They have a marvelous salad bar and everyone in my party commented how great their dinners were. We stopped at the bar after dinner and even though they were very busy everyone was very accomodating. We enjoyed the place so much that we went up there for New Years Eve and danced to a pleasant combo that played a variety of everything. I don't get the review written below about annimals. Many restaurants offer a view of the wildlife. It's part of the charm. I'm looking forward to going there on Labor Day weekend.

We just got back from the Cotton Patch and what a HORRIBLE meal!!! And its too bad, as we really wanted to like the place. It's not too far from our house and we enjoyed watching the animals. But as far as the food goes, just awful. The shrimp and scallops I ordered were like eating cold rubber cooked in vegetable oil. My husband ordered the rib eye and it was as tough as shoe leather. Oh, and I was really looking forward to eating the wild rice I ordered. What a joke that was, it was just a everyday bag rice you get in the grocery store and they even screwed that up by overcooking it. What a HUGE disappointment. Don't waste your money or your time. But, if you do go, just remember, there is an ice cream place not too far from there, as you will still be hungy when you leave.

I think that rumbafool is a liar because i go to the cotton patch every weekend and the bosses are very nice they make there way around the dining room to ask everyone how there food is. They say Hi and good bye. I went in there the Opening night when it came back and the bartenders that were there are ther except for a few of them. I love there food, the atmospere is great our kids love the animals. We will always be loyal customer the the Cotton Patch Supperclub

I'm not crazy about dining among farm animals to start with. Kinda lost my appetite from the get go. The owner lady is not a very nice person. My food was just OK. I was heaing lots of negatives about this place so I had to try it out for myself. Not impressed by the new owners at all. Lots of employees have quit because of them. Getting rid of the silly farm animals or just turning the joint into a petting zoo might be a good move for them.

I think the reviews are written by the owners, as they have far more than any other place in the area. Everyone I know who has been there recently says it's overpriced and the owners are rude and uppity. I went to the Cotton Patch over the summer, and I paid a fortune for a weak drink, and was told they are cutting back when I asked for a second olive. The owners are more concerned with their stupid animals than with the customers. They brag about being named best in the area by the Shawano Leader, but the people who own Classics said it was just an advertising scheme, because everyone in Shawano who advertises with them won something. Then if you pay for a thank you ad, you get some kind of ribbon on your sign or something. I have heard that all of their bartenders since they opened have quit because they can't tolerate the boss-lady, who think she knows everything. There were other partners, too, but they walked out. I wouldn't give them any of my money, that's for sure.

My husband and I had our rehearsal dinner at The Cotton Patch Supper Club on October 10th. The staff, especially Karen and Jan were great. They took wonderful cared of us and made sure we had privacy. We had a large dinner group, 45 so the privacy curtains were very nice and created a more intimate feel. The food was wonderful, the pork chops are huge. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Attentive Staff, Great Entertainment & Family Friendly atmosphere, with a view of the pond and all those critters. In other words, a lovely place to spend an evening to enjoy a wonderful meal with family and friends. Every menu selection I have tried has been delicious. The only thing the menu lacks is a selection of vegetarian options. 4 1/2 stars

My entree(chicken) was wonderful. The service was great and the view was beautiful! I especially loved the entertainment....very relaxing....just what I needed on a Friday, after a hectic week!
