At Cotton Patch Cafe locations across the state, veterans and active‑duty military members can enjoy a complimentary regular‑size Chicken Fried Steak or Chicken Fried Chicken entrée. Diners simply present a valid military ID to claim the meal. The Cedar Hill location is highlighted as a participating site, but the offer applies to all Cotton Patch Cafe restaurants on Nov. 11.
