    We had stopped in for breakfast before doing some grocery shopping.. and we had a really great server.. she had such fun and contagious energy.. very uplifting.. even got to enjoy a Dr pepper (yes instead of root beer)float with breakfast so that was neat.. and when we got our bill for out meal I had noticed there was a little stamp design that looked just like our waitress.. she special ordered the stamp.i totally LOVE that idea!! But I didn't ask where she got it from and I really really want to get some of my own now.. (maybe I'll luck out and she'll see this and I can order some)

    Very nice hot beef commercial! Nice portions, perfect flavor and salt combination. I really enjoyed it- It reminds me of the old fashioned diner hot beef commercials of yesteryear! Thankful for your service - friendly, quick & quality to-go package for me to bring to a local that can’t get to you easily. Great asset to the community & surrounding area!!

    The Cotty is a Menahga favorite for a reason! Great food, friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, & generous portions - all at a great price. We love stopping in when we’re home, especially for breakfast & coffee. So lucky to have a place like this in our small town!

    Alayna does awesome specialty coffees and you can get them to go. She’s very upbeat and personable. Had the meatball dinner special with real mashed potatoes - chunks and all! Was very good. Loved the homemade dinner roll also. Thanks for making my day a little better!

    We are so fortunate to have The Cotty in our little town. Not only do they serve awesome food with top tier service, they are always more than willing to step up and help support the community in a variety of ways! Whether you are looking for a friendly place to sit down and have a meal or are in need of catering, don't hesitate to give Christina and her staff a call!

    The breakfast here was soo delicious!! I got the 3-layer omelet and some coffee; both were super hot and fresh. The hash browns and toast that comes with the meal were also super good, and the strawberry jam is a MUST order with it!! Super great! The meal was also cheap for such a big, great plate. The service there was also super kind!!! All of the servers were extremely friendly and willing to help at all times. Would absolutely come back next time we are in the area. + We asked for extra strawberry jam to take home with us, and they gave us 4 cups of it !! Incredible service!! (P.S. please try asking to buy a jar off of them !!)
