    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

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

    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

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

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

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

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

    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.

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

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

    If you aren't super hungry you can order just a piece of chicken and a side.

    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.

    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?

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

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

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

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

    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.

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

    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.

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

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

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

    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.

    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

    Don't, just don't. My family has been coming to Knott's for dinner since the 1930s, but my recent trip convinced me we're done. The food is mediocre to sub par and the ambiance is lousy.
