They changed the seasoning on the chicken, it's extremely salty and strange tasting. The mashed potatoes are not edible. It has some strange seasoning in it. The mashed potatoes smell like dirty people. The green beans taste old. And the gravy has the same strange seasoning in it. I wasted money on food that no one wants to eat.

Always good and plenty to eat

I thought the teas where a little expensive. Then the fries were a family with a single dinner. But it was okay. I probably isolated now because of my Google maps reviews and photos. Angela Michelle Vaughan story doesn't matter.

One of the best fried chicken restaurants I've been to. Sucks that it's almost 2 hours away or I'd go regularly.

Best food in town. Amazing PEACH SWEET TEA…Best Employees!

I hadn’t been by since 2019 when I was still in high school and decided to try them out when I moved back to tow since I live right down the road now.

I hadn’t been by since 2019 when I was still in high school and decided to try them out when I moved back to tow since I live right down the road now. I cannot express how this place is THE place for southern food. Everything was well season and had actual flavor, and cooked to perfection. Regardless of it being just an hour before close, the food tasted and felt fresh. The catfish is thin and crispy (my personal preference), the tartar sauce is amazing, and the rolls are soft and fluffy. My favorite part was the mashed potatoes, greatly seasoned with garlic and not pasty. The Mac and cheese is simple but creamy. I will be back at least once a week I’m sure, I need to try all the other menu items! Less

Came to eat at this place and it was amazing I spilt my drink which was very embarrassing but they were so awesome they told me it was okay and they cleaned it up and even made me a new drink when they didn't have too such a great place and amazing people if you haven't been there you definitely should

Cochran's food reminds me of growing up with good Texas southern cooking. Their fried chicken is airfried, so there's no grease bloat after you eat it, and the crunchy flavor is amazing! Their cabbage tastes like Grandma used to make, and so do their sweet potatoes. Their coleslaw is the best I've tasted in years, and all their potatoes are yummy. Everyone working there is friendly and patient. ... More

Great food, fresh, delicious, and good prices

I have been going to Cochran's for a while and have always enjoyed the fried chicken. However, on August 13, 2024, my two sons and I went in honor of my late husbands birthday.

I have been going to Cochran's for a while and have always enjoyed the fried chicken. However, on August 13, 2024, my two sons and I went in honor of my late husbands birthday. I ordered chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes. My youngest son shared with me and he ate the mac & cheese. My older son had fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and french fries. Mac&cheese was fine. French fries were fine. I took a bite of mashed potatoes first and it tasted like bacon grease. Caught off guard, I took another bite with the same result. The chicken fried steak and the fried chicken tasted of bacon grease. It was awful. If we didn't need to hurry for my youngest son to get to his part-time job, I would have taken it back and got a refund. I don't know if they have changed something or what. But I don't want to go back at this time. I hope the cook just had a bad day. Has anyone else had the issue of most of the food tasting like bacon grease? Less

The food was hot and good. Cafeteria style, good home cooked style.

Ordered some chicken to go and really liked it , i will come back here for sure and want to try all of the other sides and desserts, but everything looked really good

I presume I pocket rated you 3 stars surely by mistake, yall are Great. 🌝

Everything is is delicious

The food is good

Bought some chicken gizzards. Looked ok on the outside, batter was not overcooked.They had been sitting too long. Should have took the food back. $11 thrown in the trash.

It's always good ..service is excellent. 5 star

Over $20 for two plates. Two piece catfish, small scoop of Mac and cheese, small scoop of mashed potatoes and water. Not really a menu board inside with prices.....food was regular Cedar Creek cafeteria style, fine, but the prices are a little too high for me now so I won't be coming back.

Such great staff 👍

I didn't think it was very good. I had meatloaf, mashed potatoes

Awesome food

It was all good! I'll be back.

For cafeteria style service, the food was great. We had the Chicken tenders which were huge and tasty. The potato side was great along with the peach cobbler.

It was suggested by a friend of mine that my son and I should eat here. We are from a different state and she said it was like 10 minutes out of the way from where we were headed. The food was so good. I have never had brisket before and it was awesome. The people that work there were very kind. Next time we are in Texas we will definitely be going back.

Great family place..lots of choices for entree and sides and dessert

Really good consistency from the sides to the entree. Great service as well. Not life changing orgasm in your mouth food but pretty damn good solid eating. Would return again if in the area.

Very good food

If you want a good home cooked meal, that's great tasting to those taste buds. Stop in or use the drive-through it doesn't matter. The parking lot is right off a busy highway and small, but it's worth it buy pay close attention when you leave because you'll be full and slow..lol

Love their food.Always hot and good. With a wonderful variety to choose from at a very reasonable price. It can't be beat.

Best home cooked food around

They have great catfish the sides are delicious. Friendly staff and and it's kept clean and fresh smelling. We'll be back

There are lots of different things to choose from and that's what I really really like about it it's homestyle cooking and the prices are just right

First time there. Got our meat and 2 sides and was asked “peach or cherry cobbler?” Didn’t tell us this cost extra. When we sat down at the table I realized that we were charged $5.99 for one and $3.99 for a smaller sized. They had also added a tip to the bill. For just the two of us.

They have some damn good fried chicken

Some of the best food in town! Great customer service!

Wonderful as always!

The best chicken on the lake. Great selection of comfort foods.

As close to what great gramma cooked at home. Fried chicken was light and crispy. Sides were delicious. Restaurant was spotless. Don't forget to take home a jar or two of their Candied Jalapeños!!

Love eating there. The ladies are great...especially Maria

Awesome people & great food.

Riquima la comida ambiente (Translated by Google) Delicious food atmosphere

Meatloaf was great

We went thru drive thru this time. The Spanish lady who is always there with a great attitude and helpful friendly service was the best part.

Just wish the while menu was available every day. One of my favorite meals is only available Tuesday and Friday. My work schedule prevents me from partaking. Great mom and pop atmosphere and home cooking.

We were there yesterday 2/16/24. Staff was very friendly and helpful. And the food was delicious.

We had our celebration event catered by this family owned restaurant (Cochran’s Cafeteria ) and not only was it super delicious, but it was very tasty. The flavor is very important in food and this place has the flavor on point. They were very professional, carrying and very thoughtful with us. I definitely recommend Cochran’s Cafeteria!!!! Owners are the best.

Very good food, old fashion mom pops feel. The owner is very nice and a good person. His staff always make sure their attentive. My favorite is the cobbler!!

Best peach cobbler! Customer service is the best , vero was very kind will be coming back again!

Soul food sooo delish! Reminds me of the good ole days!

Ordered a baked turkey for Thanksgiving. It was aweful! It was over cooked, as well as dry. Will never order another.

Food great! Especially my chicken livers! Lol

Chicken and dumpling are pretty good

Food is too salty and a little greasy .

Bought a box of chicken it was so greasy the paper box it was in was soaked. Chicken was disgusting. This place was once awesome now just disappointing.

Greasy nasty chicken

Everything is good here. Especially the food.

Food was pretty gud,, clean

It's just a little buffet style restaurant with country style cooking. The owner and staff are great.

Great food ! Cute little place

Great location, easy to find. Omg huge portions and very soulful taste. Staff was so nice and very clean inside.

The place has great food, friendly service and staff . Prices are great. Only thing bad is parking. Needs more of it .

Their food is really good. They're fast and friendly. And the price isn't any higher than most places. Everything is expensive nowadays.

Sundays are not primetime to go here.

did not look appealing and im a fav of dive style places and it wasnt some where i wanted to eat

Tried this lovely place today and man was it good. Lots of options fried chicken, fried fish, chicken fried steak, yams, mac and cheese, fried zucchini and lots more. The food was delicious and the staff are so sweet. We met the owner and he is so kind and attentive. We have definitely discovered a gem. We will be back.

Very friendly and helpful people. Would be a 5⭐ but entree was luke warm. But will eat there again. Food was very tasty. But didn't like the collard greens just not got that southern taste.. Tasted canned. Red smashed potatoes and gravy, gizzards, fried okra.

All fried foods tastes like fish my burger tastes like the meat was old. It took 25 minutes for a burger and fries

Still the best chicken tenders on the lake!

Very good food people were really nice

If you are on the road and need a quick boost of protein, stop in at Cochran's cafeteria. Grab a few chicken strips or chicken livers and you are good to go. Too many delicious options.

Great food very good pricing awesome staff it reminds me of the old cafeterias from the good ol days

I absolutely loved this place we used to go there when I was a kid. The yeast rolls are just as good. They were so friendly and the fresh fried livers and gizzard and chicken did not disappoint..it was soooo good.

there very friendly and the food it's real 👍

This is the most disgusting place in Gunbarrell. The chicken taste like it was fried with the fish. People have fish allergies and you can't use the same cooking oil. Cochrans will say they don't do this but there is no other reason the chicken taste like it's fried in fish oil.

Had the chicken livers and they were delicious!

Great food and the lady behind the counter was great . Loved this place . You must check it out when this way!!

Cochrans always has good food.

My husband and I eat here often. The food is good and we just love the people who work there

Love to eat at Cochran's. I love the chicken livers, my husband likes the meatloaf. We both love the potatoes with onions and bell peppers. Very friendly folks!! Y'all give it a try if you haven't already.

A hidden treasure ! Cleanest place in Gun Barrel !!

Dont like mash potatos

But in my case I knew that I was right because I would never order what she was trying to give me she's trying to give me pork chops with white or country gravy on top I only eat pork chops with brown grav what the other older they always always get my correct good with this younger female there's always a problem whether it be a look like she has a problem with me or she gets my order wrong whenever I see her I just drive off and go somewhere else I'm guessing that this is a personal thing and I hope that she doesn't treat anyone else like the way she treated me Less

Good down home cooking. Atmosphere is always pleasant. And the staff are awesome 🥰🥰

I just had a terrible experience at this establishment. They are welcoming but not to black people. The white customers were greeted with hugs and warmth while I was watched the entire time.

I just had a terrible experience at this establishment. They are welcoming but not to black people. The white customers were greeted with hugs and warmth while I was watched the entire time. I spent $70 dollars to feed a family of five and I asked for a cup of water and was told it would be 60 cents for the cup while the white customers behind me got their water cups free. There was a misunderstanding between the cashier and I about the charges and the manager came in and after she communicated with him in Spanish he told me that I was charged right. After that I got two more of the water cups and she told me that you already took two you can’t get more I just paid $70 dollars and I can’t get 4 cups of water!!!! I spoke to the manager and he told me just go ahead I told him I will leave the cups and he told me that Nobody lips would touch that cup after I touched it! The discrimination and prejudice in this establishment is disgusting. The saddest part is that it was done by other minorities. If you are black or you support black lives think twice before visiting this place. Less

Best place in town

Good dinner, and lunch.

Went in for lunch got us a nice sit down meal got a choice of the buffet people were real nice real friendly and helped us as they always do. Great place to go in and get something to eat

Always good food.

The food is always good here. Whether you eat in our carry out. Dining area is always clean and the staff is friendly. Can’t go wrong with some good country cooking at Cochran’s!

Always good!

To expensive

Cecil has created a great cafeteria style restaurant. Everything on the line is always fresh & delicious.

Food is good but there so expensive I'm probably not going back there.😔

Staff is pleasant, and quick !

Best place in town to eat, wonderful service the food is just delectable

It's always good

Food was not that good. Felt like I was having a picnic. Plastic fork, knife, and spoon, for restaurant eating.

Best fried catfish and fresh veggies

It was ok. I think you need to get there when they first open and food is the freshest.

Good food will go there again when I that area 😋

Nice cafeteria style restaurant.

Great

One of the best places to enjoy fresh vegetables. Best chicken pieces and better prices.

Always enjoy this place good chicken tea and friendly people

Best meatloaf ever!!!

Hands down the best chicken around Cedar Creek lake! Let's add on top of that the chicken fried steak and all the southern cafeteria comfort foods. 10 out 10..

Food is excellent always fresh and of good quality.The staff is also great and always efficient and polite. Definitely my absolute favorite place to eat wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to eat. The owners are also very involved in the community.

Been going here for over 15 years, never disappointed.

3.5 stars. Food is just okay but the service is above average.

Great Liver and onions. Best I've had since I moved here three years ago.

Best place for home made comfort food if I had the money to go here seven days a week I would eat here seven days a week

Great food and super friendly staff! I really recommend.

Good cafeteria style food.

Very clean facility. Friendly staff. Food was very good.

Great place to enjoy fresh vegetables & fresh food for the entire family, not a very elegant place but real food and clean.

I got to put the word out here and give this place some props it was awesome pinto beans oh great flavor potato salad awesome fish was delish next time I come through this area I'm coming back thanks for the food guys

Quality of the food was not good neither was the service.

I have been passing this restaurant up because of their outside appearance, but they're high Google rating (for restaurants in our area) drew me in. I'm so glad.

The inside while not modern it was immaculately clean and the tables and chairs were in good repair. I was pleasantly surprised to see real mashed potatoes on their cafeteria line. So many restaurants use instant. The catfish was perfectly cooked but definitely you could tell it came from a cafe line and not fresh from the fryer. They had a nice selection of vegetables to pick from. I'll be back. Less

I’m giving 2 stars because everytime I get get a meal with a salad they put the salad in the same box as my food and it gets all steamy from the heat having soggy lettuce salad is no fun I love salad I expect them to use a separate container even after I always ask them to. I should dig it out of the trash to show the picture this is the 3rd time

Good food. Expensive though.

Good food

One of the most amazing places to eat, very welcoming and delicious food! Pot roast was melt in your mouth and the brown gravy was sooo good you can definitely tell the food was made with some lovin!

Food was delicious and quite a variety.

Homestyle cooking at it's finest!! The best fried catfish in this area. Very friendly and down home employees..I highly recommend this restaurant!

I enjoyed my selection very much. I do love chicken livers and gravy and being cafeteria style I also got a chicken fried steak and gravy and black-eyed peas. And peach cobbler for desert. I'm afraid they might have had to use a dolly to get me back out to my car had I not had enough sense to save my cobbler until the three hour drive home was complete. Great place! 👍

It used to be a good down home cooking 3 years ago but it took a dive!!

EXCELLENT VEGIES & HOME COOKING

We have always enjoyed Cochran's. We love the chicken. They are always fast and friendly!

Wonderful selection southern foods

Food wasn't as good as it normally is.

My favorite place to eat. Food is fantastic, just like mama made. Folks are very friendly. Big portions great price.

Clean and friendly place to sit and have some good food

Fried gizzard- crunchy, generous proportion. Delicious cherry cobbler.

Delicious and affordable home cooking with a friendly atmosphere. The tea is always refreshing and there is a variety of vegetables to choose from. The hidden gem is their old fashioned cheeseburger. We even ran into Deion Sanders on a previous visit.

Always good food and Great Service. Family friendly and a great asset to the community.

The place doesn't look like much from the outside, but it's clean and comfortable and the food is fantastic with a huge selection.

Good food, kind folks! Great price

The chicken tenders were really big and the food was great. A great price. Their coleslaw was really good and creamy not semi dry like other places.
