Mrs Knotts never fails to be a solid place to rest and eat after some thrilling rides! Food is good for the price, nothing special, but nothing negative as well. Portions are plentiful and the bread they give out is amazing! My favorite thing to get there is the chicken soup which is creamy and feels just right. Service is always amazing and the waiters are very attentive and helpful.For the price, you get exactly what you want and there's never anything bad about that.

We have eaten here a dozen times. We are from outer state & have always made Knott's fried chicken dinner a part of our must do list. Unfortunately this evening our family dinner was disappointed w/ the quality. The fried chicken was dry & bland. The chicken had little flavor. This was not the old school Knott's Chicken dinner we remember. However, the waiter was very helpful, very friendly & offered great service. Note: the chicken tenders inside the park was so much more flavorful.

I had fond memories of Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner from the early 2000s, and haven't had a chance to be back since then. When friend offered a visit to Knott's and it was around dinnertime, we knew we needed to eat here!Smaller groups seem to have a shorter wait, as we were seated within 20 minutes at 5 pm. Friend and I split the boysenberry bbq pulled pork sandwich ($24.50) and Mrs. Knott's famous fried chicken ($26.50). We chose onion rings over fries as our side for the sandwich. Our chicken was a dinner entrée, so it came with mashed potatoes and gravy, biscuits and boysenberry jam, tossed salad, sweet corn, and a choice of pie for dessert (we picked boysenberry).The sandwich was pretty good, but the chicken dinner was a disappointment. The fried chicken had a nice crisp to the fried skin, but it was clear the chicken was overcooked. The mashed potatoes and gravy was super salty. The corn was okay as well as the salad (comes with a boysenberry-based creamy dressing). Pie was the standout of the entrée package.If you have an Knott's pass, make sure to ask for the pass dining discount. Since we were here for the park, we did theme park parking and ended up on the other side of the park as we came later in the day, so it was a bit of a walk to get to the restaurant. Can't say how much parking would be if you're here just for the restaurant, but since it's outside Knott's, you don't have to worry about needing theme park admission to dine here. BF did mention seeing online that Mrs Knott's Chicken Dinner has resumed their midnight buffet, so we might come for that next time. But not for the regular dining experience.

After a long, electrifying day at Knott's, my family used to order takeout and indulge in some of the juiciest fried chicken, mashed potatoes smothered in a rich white gravy, and fluffy biscuits. It's been over a decade since I last had their food. Silly me thought the dine-in experience would be even better than takeout.We came for a quick, casual meal. Despite the restaurant being less than half full, it took over 30 minutes to be seated.To our dismay, lunch was underwhelming. Underseasoned, lukewarm fried chicken. Sickly sweet gravy over buttery mashed potatoes. Fair biscuits. A family member, who recently visited Knott's, raved that the food from the takeout restaurant tasted just like the good old times :') Next visit will be to Mrs. Knott's Chicken To Go - I still have hope of reliving that delicious childhood memory!

So Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner is a true staple of the park. This was our second time going to the restaurant and overall I'll say it was "ok."Service was excellent both times, the restaurant is kept clean and has a nice buzz to it (not too loud, but not silent either).The entree portions are ginormous... literally can't finish everything in one sitting without disliking yourself. My husband got a chicken dinner and i got the cheeseburger (complete with chicken wing on top). Both came with dinner rolls (we added boysenberry butter for a $1 upcharge), a side salad and cup of chicken noodle soup (delish), the main course, and a piece of pie for dessert. So.much.food. They were very accommodating when I asked for broccoli instead of fries or onion rings with my burger. The burger was juicy and tender, the chicken is just ok - not overly crispy, too oily. My husband loved the mashed potatoes and the side of corn was unbuttered/unsalted. For pie, they had boysenberry or apple pie. Also "just ok" - we each had 2 bites of each and were done. Between being full and also not very good, wasn't worth finishing or taking with us.There is a parking lot, but we took our hotel shuttle as parking is quite pricy ($50 for premium, maybe $30 for standard). There is a short-term parking lot that is free for a few hours if you make a purchase - check the knotts website to verify.

I took my family here because my son always says "it smells delicious!" as we are walking into Knott's. We had made reservations and got seated right away. I can't tell you how long the wait would be but there seemed to be plenty of seating for walk-ins or they keep their ratios fair to their servers.Food was hot and fresh when we received it. You get a tremendous amount of food with your dinner order and will have plenty of left overs. My son is picky and for an up charge, you can get French fries with their meals! I had one cocktail and was tart but tasty (boysenberry lemon drop). They look like they had a full bar with seating, so hubby and I are curious to come back for an adult Knotts date.

We were in Anaheim, California and haven't been to Mrs Knott's Chicken in several years so decided to stop in.The place looked the same with that ole time vibe, I love it. No two chairs at your table are the same. Like a sit down dinner at home where you come as you are. No fancy this and that but you're coming there for food and to fill your belly.My wife and I shared a chicken dinner and I had the chicken pot pie. The pot pie was full of chunks of chicken and the crust was nice and flaky. The chicken pieces are big crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside just as I remembered. If you don't eat much try sharing one chicken dinner with someone else because after you're done with the soup, salad and chicken plate, here comes the dessert. The dessert is a part of the meal. We opted to take our dessert back to our hotel because we were stuffed. The only reason I gave it a four star is because the parking is bad. But don't let that stop you from having a good meal.

The fried chicken here is delicious, tender and juicy, old school fried chicken worth the trip each and every single time . The service is hectic but appreciated by me because it's stupid busy in here . The fried chicken dinner meals come with awesome biscuits and delicious soup or salad, I will continue to come here for many years to come . Thanks .
