What an absolute delight! This is a really beautifully designed restaurant featuring beautifully created and delicious American food. Our first visit to Braselton and this restaurant, just by chance, will surely not be our last. I ordered the blackened salmon BLT and it was amazing! Probably the best grilled fish sandwich I’ve ever experienced. My fiancé ordered steak and eggs. The steak was a beautiful piece of meat, perfectly seasoned and grilled. We’ll be back to sample more of this menu! That’s if I can resist ordering the BLT again. ;)
Absolutely amazing. We celebrated our 23rd Anniversary tonight and could not asked for a better experience. Food was delicious and our server Richard was great. Every employee we encountered was welcoming and friendly. We would highly recommend your restaurant and we can't wait to return.
My wife and I had a great dinner last night. Cotton Calf staff accomadated us when we got rained out on the patio. Food was fantastic as was the atmosphere.
The wine was top shelf, the fried green tomatoes were the best I ever ate and the staff is very friendly and attentive. Will be back with friends.

Nate and Victoria made our special event perfect. They went over and beyond just great service. Exceeded expectations. The food was fabulous, as always. I highly recommend this restaurant!
We love Cotton Calf! We have had almost everything on the wonderful menu and enjoyed it all! We live in Gainesville but have business in Braselton and love to have a reason to have a great dinner as well. All your servers have been wonderful but Nathan is the best, always goes above and beyond for us. We had a huge party last night and it was fantastic. Can't wait til next time!
Best Calamari I have ever had! Wonderful food, staff, atmosphere. Everything we ordered was delicious. I did have a small cry in my heart when I got the bill but it was worth it. Wish I could eat here more often.
This is an awesome restaurant! SO glad my Mom found this. Very cool bar area and restaurant is open to kitchen. Food was amazing and the staff is SO nice -very cool place if you are near Brasselton/Lake Lanier/Athens-trust me -GO to this restaurant!!! Manager, Vincent is so awesome!!
We absolutely loved our first dining experience. We were a walk-in party of 4 about 4:30. We sat in the bar area. This is where our continuous rotation of yummy drinks, appetizers, salads and deserts was properly staggered by our lovely waitress Reagan. (Great job Reagan!) We will be back to sample the appetizers that we missed and for one of those bone-in Filets! See you again soon! Yum!
Cotton Calf Kitchen is an upscale restaurant in downtown Braselton that serves phenomenal food. Impeccable steaks, huge, scrumptious bacon wrapped scallops, delicious lump crab cakes, etc. Fresh, supreme quality ingredients, no matter what you try. The venue has beautifully nostalgic exposed brick walls, warm atmosphere, and cozy outdoor brick fireplace and seatings that overlook the Town Green. You would not expect such a beautiful space in a small town but this is how unique downtown Braselton is. It is definitely one of the most awesome places to visit!
My wife and I decided to go on a last minute date. We neglected to make reservation and sat at the tables by the bar. Nicole, our server, was really good and help us with some recommendations on the food and drinks. My wife’s new favorite is the salted caramel martini and my favorite is the glazed bacon appetizer (well besides those perfect steaks!). We will be back for sure. Such a great place so close to home!
Awesome!Fourth time going and it never fails to impress, first class all the way!!
This was my first time here, and the experience could not have been better. Great service and excellently prepared food. I highly recommend it.
The Cotton Calf Kitchen is an absolute gem tucked away in an unassuming town. We were hesitant at first to try this restaurant, but they did not disappoint! Our waitress Avalon was phenomenal (extremely knowledgeable about the menu, attentive and very friendly)! Several managers checked in on us throughout our dining experience to ensure that we not only enjoyed our meal, but also knew that our patronage was greatly appreciated. In addition to every single dish being simply devine, our table location allowed us to watch Taylor ensure with the utmost precision that ALL of the meats were perfectly cooked. He is truly the meat master! Each member of the kitchen staff takes pride in their work, and it truly comes through in the taste of each dish. I can't say enough about how wonderful this restaurant is and I highly recommend it to anyone that is looking for a wonderful dining experience from start to finish!

Just ate here for my 35th birthday, and I just say that this is one of the best overall restaurants I've ever been to. From the moment we walked in until the moment we left, everyone we encountered was a pleasure to deal with.
We were a party of 8, and three of us arrived on time. Instead of having us wait until our full party arrived, they took us at our word that everyone is coming and sat us immediately without question. Right after being seating, we were greeted by our server, Lauren, who was remarkable all night.
Mostly everything we ordered was amazing. It was my first time having dry-aged steak and the tomahawk did not disappoint. The brussel sprouts and lyonnaise potatoes were also solid.
The evening did not go without it's drawbacks, but the service provided when things went wrong is what sets this place apart from others. We did not enjoy the smoked Old Fashion and Lauren quickly brought us a different drink of our choosing with no issue. My tomahawk was also overcooked on the first go around, but it was replaced right away and personally brought to me by the manager and he removed it from our bill (did not expect that at all).
I am never one to write these long reviews, but Cotton Calf Kitchen deserves every bit of it! Do not be scared of the higher prices, you get what you pay for here.
It’s always a pleasure when I get to dine at Cotton Calf, no special occasion needed. Service is always impeccable and the food is never a miss. Their heirloom salad still remains a favorite of mine and will have your mouth drooling during each bite. Can’t wait to dine again, this place continues to be my happy place!
Everything was perfect! Every dish that came out was absolutely delicious. If you like fried green tomatoes, be sure to order them. Just do it, you WILL NOT regret it. Our only disappointment with them was that we should have ordered more! And the Confit Duck Egg Rolls, another delicious choice. Great place for a business meeting, celebration, reception or whatever! We were very pleased and will definitely return. Oh, if they have the Grilled Pineapple Margarita, get that too! But be careful, that 2nd one will getcha!
Excellent! The service was incredible and the food was among the best we’ve ever had. For a special anniversary dinner it was worth the splurge. Highly recommend!
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING SERVICE AND FOOD!! FRIENDLY AND KNOWLEDGEABLE STAFF!! IMMACULATE IS THE BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE COTTON AND CALF KITCHEN!! WE WERE GREETED BY ONE OF THE OWNERS VINCENT AND HE WAS THE BEST! THE MANAGER DERRICK WAS A SWEETHEART & VERY WELCOMING AS WELL! OUR SERVER SARAH WAS AN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! SHE HAD GREAT FOOD RECOMMENDATIONS AND SERVICE!!

The Cotton Calf Kitchen was unexpectedly delicious from beginning to end! We have been told by many people to try this restaurant and finally did! We already can’t wait to go back! Our waitress Sarah H was phenomenal! We asked a lot of questions about everything and she was able to answer quickly and with ease! We assumed she had been working there for a while by the way she knew everything and served us so well, but she said she had only been there a month! She was very sweet!
We got the Colassal Lump Crab Cake and Oysters Rockefeller for appetizers.
We got complimentary bread with house made butter that was incredible!
I got Garlic Butter Chicken and my boyfriend got Baked Chilean Sea Bass. We got Mashed potatoes, Grilled Asparagus, and Prosciutto Green Beans for sides. Each was unlike any side I’ve ever had. They all had incredible flavor and the vegetables were fresh.
We got the Crème Brûlée, which was house made. It was the best Crème Brûlée we’ve ever had!! I can’t wait to try the other desserts! But when we asked about the desserts Sarah H said some were house made and some came from Alpine Bakery & Pizzeria in Alpharetta.
The location is super cute as well. We went at night, but I hope to go during the day to be able to check out the stores in the area. It looked like there is a hair salon and boutique next to the restaurant!
As we left one of the managers held the door for us and gave us a warm goodbye!
I can't say enough about how wonderful this restaurant is and I highly recommend it to anyone that is looking for a wonderful dining experience from start to finish!
Absolutely worth it! Shout out to Seema as our server!! She was amazing. Made our experience worth it. Food was excellent. Artichoke crab meat dip!!! Soooo good! Delmonico Ribeye medium rare. The best I’ve ever had. Scallops bacon wrapped…OMG!! Lobster tail.. no butter needed. So, shout out to the chefs. I would say if you don’t see an open reservation on open table make sure to call. They were not as busy as I would have expected. It’s definitely on the pricey side but we were celebrating our anniversary and the price was worth the quality. Leftovers for days.
