The best Fried Chicken on the west coast. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for fried chicken . Desert is included. I had the boysenberry pie . It was delicious.

Fried chicken here is so good! Fresh, crispy , and not salty! The mashed potato with gravy is so yummy! Love their apple pie ! Food here is the best and so is the service! There's always a long line .

Lori Tamura

This place is worth the wait. The chicken dinner was good, a big portion . Ask your server for the boysenberry butter . Biscuits were very buttery and soft. Cherry rhubarb soup was my favorite.

Buford Douglas

Walter Knott discovered and cultivated the Boysenberry in the 20s and began selling them in 1932. Mrs. Knott opened her chicken dinner restaurant and began serving Boysenberry pie in 1934.

Amanda Nanawa

Chicken ! Everything on the menu is chicken & served large. Bring a big appetite & eat after riding at the amusement park .

Jase Laudadio

They brought back straws and soup spoons! Now if they can stop serving those pretty ice cold butter balls cause they don’t work good on hot rolls then we are all good. Overall it’s improved a lot.

Offbeat L.A.

Opened 1934. Remodeled chicken restaurant that evolved from the initial berry farm & grew into the amusement park ; just outside the gates of the park .

Wendy Gino69

Experience the excitement and fun on one of Southern California's own original and originator Amusement Park folks here at Knott's Berry Farm ????

Chris Cookson

The dinner combo is huge, it's a lot of food for the money. Try to go on somewhat an empty stomach. Probably not a good idea to go to a roller coaster filled amusement park while full of boysenberries

Adam Ashley

I am originally from Kentucky and this place really has a wonderful southern feel and the food is incredible.

Sean Melton

Everything at Mrs Knott's is delicious. Maybe a bit pricey for what it is, but it's comfort food . It's tradition.

Scandia Onofre

You HAVE to order the chicken dinner . delicious and lots to eat! You will never finish it. Also included, dessert , so order the boysenberry pie .

Joey Piscitelli

We have been coming to the Knotts Chicken Dinner Restaurant for 35 years in a row. As always the Boysenberry pie is superb!

Kier Smith

Great dinner , the line was really long, but it moved pretty quickly. It took less time than a lot of the rides.

Ryan Palmer

The biscuits make everything worth it. Fried chicken was sadly not as good as it used to be. A little dry and not hot.

Jonathan Gays

This is an awesome chicken restaurant and everything is top notch and oh so tasty .

Ronn Hall

Looks to be a little over priced. But at the ending the night you walk out with a large bag of leftovers. The chicken is great.

Tristan Pili

Get in a early dinner and beat the crowds. Once the dinner crowd gets here, your looking at no less than 60-75 min wait.

Eileen Arredondo

The boysenberry pie the only other place I found it was at Hofs Hut. Their pie is superb

Lorena Diaz

Best fried chicken I've ever tried! And the rhubarb as an entry is delicious

Ryan Palmer

FYI, Smuckers makes the Knott’s branded jelly . It’s the same exact jelly they just slapped a Knott’s label on it.

Donlee

If only the food was as good as the service. Traci, Carrie, Rafa, and Eva go above and beyond to make the customers happy.

Jase Laudadio

Smucker's jelly ... at knotts berry farm . It's like a cruel April's fools joke in May.

Lauren Bates

Can't go wrong with a fried chicken dinner . Everything tastes good here.

Paul C

Always make reservations on holiday weekends like Mother's day. If you don't the wait times can be 3+ hours with no guarantee.

Shneka Smith

You can't visit Knotts Berry Farm with out eating here. The best food at this park .

dina

the boysenberry pie and cherry rhubarb are great, the chicken 's good, but the biscuits are over-hyped.

Jack Campanella

The pot pie and the fried chicken dinner are both crazy big and yummy

Barry Campbell

Fried chicken is way overrated Popeyes and KFC have better chicken the staff is really helpful and friendly though

Alfonso Quintero Magadan

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm............... Good. Delicious.

Jase Laudadio

First time back since the remodel! They took nasty stuff off the menu like those horrid ribs and left what they do right. The soup got bigger... but why no soup spoons? And no beverage straws?

Cowboy Joe

They changed their breakfast menu...not as good. Also, Smuckers replaces the Knott's jelly . I mean...really?!

Joe Chai

Came here cause my girlfriend loves fried chicken and saw this place last week after visiting Knotts Berry Farm . The fried chicken was okay; boysenberry pie wasn't bad either. Come hungry.

Z Basurto

The warm biscuits are the BEST! Don't forget to ask for an extra tray to take home... They are worth it! =D

Sean Rouse

Entrance to Sunday brunch is at The Courtyard

Stefanie Edwards

Don't pay extra for the biscuits ! They bring more than enough to your table before you even order!!

Raul Rubio

Old timey. Fried chicken is good but the chicken pot pie an pull apart biscuits are the real gems. Definitely try the boysenberry jam on the biscuits .

Dave Young

All the food is awesome and the waitress Debbie is really fast and great!!! Boysenberry punch rocks...

Paul Camilang

No question best chicken in town my grandparents catered it 50 anniversary

Brandon Martinez

I love how everyone talks about the food but no one talks about the shitty service...last night..40 min wait..then we get seated and then 20 min sitting and no biscuits no drinks..thx Mrs Knott's ...

Emilio Retana

Ask to be waited by Cheryl. She's the corteous, fast, and very nice. The best!!!

Pierina Magni

good food. Bad attention, they don't have patience, worse if you don't handle English well , zero empathy and kindness.

Alexis Garcia

Get the Traditional Favorite and pie !

Rajani Singh

Try the boysenberry butter with the buttermilk biscuits !!!!

Chester Santos

Honestly I have to say this is something you try once and that’s it... almost everything lacks flavor

D

When it gets near park closing, might as well sneak over to the to go line . Or wait the hour..

Jase Laudadio

If you wanna bring a bday cake they will charge a cake cutting fee of $1 per serving. But if you buy THEIR cake ... no fee. So... why don't they cut their cake ? We had to. Just an excuse to make money.

tim swalley

Chicken , veggie menu

Julie Overbey

The oil served with my oil and vinegar salad dressing was rancid, the cabbage tasted old and was mushy and the fried chicken was questionable at best. This place is past it's prime

Chris Husong

Try the Mrs. Knott's Biscuits - Warm fresh and delicious
