28 Best American Restaurants in Buena Park

“The food was yummy and affordable!“

“Good food and service……..“

“We were served by Rachel who was amazingly cheerful, positive, friendly & professional at 7am! She made the whole experience extremely special. We are from the UK on vacation & ate here on 2 mornings, both were excellent food at great value. Thanks.“

“They had a tasty vegan option, the entertainment was on point and the server was good too- the only bad thing - lost my purse there and can't contact anyone to ask - gotta make the trip out there to check if there's a lost and found 🤞“

“My party cost about $80+ between the 5 of us, and it was well worth it. I personally ordered their chili omelet, and when I say I couldn't finish it because of the big portions, I mean it, I'm a big person, I can eat A LOT, and I couldn't finish it all. 10/10 on atmosphere, flavor, and portion size“

“We made a reservation for 7pm on a Friday night. Had to wait through a lot of Knott's Scary Farm traffic just to get in the parking lot though. Even though we had a reservation, we still ended up waiting about 10-15 minutes past that time, but we could see that there were open tables available. I figured since it is wide open inside, it'd be pretty loud, but it really wasn't bad. We could still hold a conversation and hear each other well, even though there were music videos playing and lots of people around us. Our servers were really attentive. Our main server had to take a break and was really transparent about handing us off to someone else. We ordered a Bloody Mary (spicy!! but safe), and a strawberry basil margarita (decent). For our meals we got the Bill Graham BBQ Chicken Pizza, which was excellent. It had lots of flavor, the perfect amount of cheese, and wasn't greasy or soggy at all. I'd be hard-pressed to order something different if we ever visit a R&B again! We also got the Blackened Chicken Pasta, which was very good too - just the right amount of spice, good flavors, and the chicken was perfect. Overall, we had a really good experience at Rock & Brews, and would come back if we're ever visiting the area again.“

“This fast service restaurant has the best fries in Knott's--crinkle cut and fresh! Right now they are serving Hot Dogs and they have several types to choose from. We have liked all of them so far. This summer they are also having a weekly special, which is always good to have something new to try at each visit to Knotts!

Kid-friendliness: Quick Service!“

“Accident service fast hardly no wait time to be served highly recommended“

“Great drinks 🍹 relaxing atmosphere“

“Small takeaway inside Knotts with a small menu, but they have gluten-free buns and seem to really care about any food allergies when mentioned.

I ordered the BBQ burger, and our server was fantastic to inform me that it comes with fried jalapeño rings (which are not gluten-free), the burger was delicious.

Kid-friendliness: No kid menu but fantastic burgers and chicken tenders.“

“I recently stopped by The Cauldron for drinks and appetizers, and it did not disappoint! The highlight of the evening was definitely the French onion soup—it was rich and flavorful, truly stealing the show. We also tried the Brussels sprouts, which were delicious. The charcuterie board was a feast for the eyes and the taste buds, and the inclusion of black cheese added a fun Halloween touch. Overall, a fantastic experience that I highly recommend I enjoyed it all on the patio.“

“I absolutely love the new remodel of this place. It's cafeteria style and the food is delicious. The chicken ceaser salad is really good for anyone looking for a healthier option. The grilled chicken sandwich is also good as well as the cheeseburger, with fresh condiments.“

“I really miss the vegetarian restaurant Soufflé, but I can get a little taste of it at Sizzler…

This is my personal opinion considering the price and food quality.

It's been a while since I've been there, but I like the atmosphere and the taste is always the same.

Best food very cheap warm and delicious soup Thank you for the kind service of the elderly servers. We go often without worrying about my wallet.
I go about twice a month, and the salad for health is fresh, and the clam chowder soup is especially delicious.“

“I'll keep it real, I don't even remember if this is the right food stand. I ordered the mini corn dogs through the dining plan and they were pretty darn good! Not much more to say. They're just hot typical theme park mini corn dogs and fries. Nothing wrong with simplicity.“

“The onion rings & special holiday Garlic burger are excellent here.They also have one of the new pick-your-flavor soda machines, though it is frequently out of specific syrups.My only complaint is that the menu is kinda small, especially if you're eating on the meal plan.Like, would it kill them to let us have a small chocolate shake with a meal?Thankfully the staff are always nice.“

“YAARR!! This be the best place to see some pirate scallywags perform amazing feats. Bring the little nippers too!“

“5-star service at its finest! Had an amazing experience at Black Angus Buena Park, thanks to Sam our manager and David our server! Sam was attentive and ensured everything was perfect, while David was knowledgeable, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure our meal was exceptional. The food was top-notch, but the service truly made it stand out. If you're looking for great service and a delicious meal, ask for David and let Sam take care of you! Highly recommend!“

“The chili was hot, Harty and not too spicy. The bbq chicken wings was meaty, juicy and cooked to perfection. Perfect amount of bbq sauce. The turkey club was amazing. Bbq turkey was moist, the bacon was a very thick cut with the right amount of smokey flavor. Chicken tenders were cooked to perfection. Not dry, and the breading was not too thick. The fries.... well, they were OK. Over all... would be back.“

“Great KFC Wings and cold beer!“

“**Calico Saloon IPA Review**

Last night, I had the pleasure of enjoying an IPA at Calico Saloon while being serenaded by the Summer Nights band. The evening was a delightful blend of refreshing drinks and lively music.

**The Venue:**
Calico Saloon provided the perfect rustic backdrop, with its old-timey charm and welcoming atmosphere. The warm summer night and the live music created an ambiance that was both relaxing and exhilarating.

**The Beer:**
The IPA I ordered was a highlight of the evening. From the first sip, it was clear that this brew was crafted with care. It had a rich, golden hue and a robust aroma of citrus and pine. The flavor profile was well-balanced, featuring a harmonious blend of hoppy bitterness and subtle malt sweetness. The crisp finish left me eager for the next sip, making it a perfect choice for a warm summer night.

**The Experience:**
Sipping on this IPA while enjoying the energetic performance of the Summer Nights band was an experience to remember. The band's vibrant tunes complemented the beer perfectly, adding to the overall enjoyment of the evening. It was a night filled with great music, excellent company, and a fantastic IPA that I'll definitely be returning for.

If you find yourself at Calico Saloon, don't miss out on trying their IPA. It's a refreshing and flavorful beer that pairs wonderfully with the lively atmosphere and great music. Cheers to many more summer nights like this!

Kid-friendliness: Not really it’s a bar.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“My son and I dined here for breakfast. We both had the American breakfast, eggs, bacon and toast. The eggs were good, mine over easy and my son liked his scrambled. The toast was good as were the potatoes. The OJ was also good. We enjoyed it so much we both had the same breakfast the second day.“

“Michell saved the day!! We had a group of eight for dinner and our original server took our orders and never came back from break. Michell took over and was helpful, funny, and courteous. All of the food was good but some of us ordered the Thanksgiving Pasties and they were DELICIOUS. Highly recommend Ghost Town Grill over any of the faster places at Knotts. Ony request for Knotts- bring back the Boysenberry Gin & Tonics! They were FABULOUS and we were so disappointed you took them off the menu!“

“it was a Sunday morning and before getting there before stepping inside, we could see that there was a line. We came to find out how long the wait would be the attendant said it would be 510 minutes. It ended up being more like an hour for a party of two. very disappointed at the fact that they said five or 10 minutes but it’s understandable food here is better than average, and the service is the best part. They are very friendly and took care of everything quickly. Besides the wait time everything else was better than average. I do recommend this place when they do not have a line. The location is small and it seems like often times it’s always overpacked. This is a four star location. In my opinion I will eat here again if I don’t have to wait so long.“

“Their Tritip steak is the best option within the park in my opinion. It is a bit on the dry side as mass prepare food can be. Portions are decent, but far from matching the price. My rating is probably skewed due to being compared to other food options in the park.“

“Food quality is always good and fresh , customer service the best !our family had a good time .“

“Lots of fun to be had here.“

“Be sure to make a reservation, or else you will be waiting a long time to be seated depending on the time of day. It's been years since we've dinned here, and it's still The BEST fried chicken around. Our table had the fried chicken, chicken pot pie, chicken dumpling, everything was AMAZING, the fried chicken was not greasy at all, the pot pie was a little dry, however I was given extra gravy/sauce to use, delish! The boysenberry salad dressing is incredible, everything was yummy! Lots of food, plenty to take home. Our tummy's were full. Overall the food is absolutely delicious. The hostess and staff, and of course our waitress were all very kind and very attentive. Will definitely go back :)“
