The food was pretty good and the service was great. The food I ordered was a large portion size at a decent price, they also do a good prime rib special from time to time. The cheesecake was really big and delicious!

Good stopping place for lunch. Part of the Indianhead Casino complex. We shared the rueben sandwich along with clam chowder and a side salad. Prices reasonable and food is fresh. Would have liked to have tried the venison stew, but that is only for dinner.

Out of a 100 mile search we decided on Cottonwood and I could not be happier. The food looked amazing and tasted amazing. Staff was super cautious and I appreciated all the steps taken to make my family feel safe. Great job everybody! Highly recommend the taco and the huckleberry ice cream. YUM.
