“Everything was great❤️ definitely going to go back again! The environment was so great! I“

“muy rico yodo, sabor especial!!!“

“Good food and service……..“

“This little gem feels like an old school drive inn. They have oldies playing and the atmosphere is great! You can order to go or dine in, but let me warn you it can get packed in there!

As for the food, it's amazing! The food comes in big quantities, as you can tell from the images, and yes, it does taste delicious as it looks! Next time we are in town, we will definitely stop by for more!

Vegetarian options: There are options for vegetarian such as salads and other items.

Parking: Parking is free. Just don't come in during rush hour because of the drive-thru line.

Kid-friendliness: It's spacious enough inside, and it's family-friendly“

“The Medieval Times is a great way to celebrate. Just be aware that you are going to be re-enacting a role as if you are living during those times. So there's no forks or spoons! Just live in the moment and enjoy the atmosphere and the hefty portions!“

“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!“

“Amazing food! Great selection of drinks and I did enjoy the Halloween/ old school time of horror theme very cool. I even saw 2 ladies dressed like Lydia one in a wedding dress and the other when she was dressed in all black very cool to see.“

“OMG this cake is so good even after waiting over 45 min in line at silverbullet.

What was left after my 9 year old and Wife saved was amazing. The ice cream was smooth and delicious, but he funnel cake itself was still crispy and delicious. The boysenberry on top was so freaking good.

This is a must try when to get the Knott’s.“

“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.“

“First time ordering from here. They have just a few choices - chicken fingers, burger and cheeseburger, and a buffalo chicken burger. Then they have fries, drinks, and I also noticed grab & go cookies.

Fortunately, the line was pretty short - and we were helped by Amanda who was very friendly and greeted us with a smile!

We couldn't decide on which burger to get so she made a suggestion of her favorite burger - her description made it sound really good so we went with it. Also, I liked that she suggested a beverage of boysenberry punch and lemonade - kind of a Knott's Arnold Palmer - and let me tell ya - it's real tasty!!

We did have to wait a few minutes for our burger, but the wait wasn't too bad (*I noticed some other reviews complained of the wait time) - but personally, I'd rather wait a little bit for my food to be freshly made, rather than getting something that was pre-made and sitting under a heat lamp.

But if there were more people in line to order, I could see how the wait time could add up.

But we had a great experience which I really appreciated!“

“We have not been back here still around 30 plus years with our daughters girl scout troops back then. Now we're able to have this new experience with our almost 5 year old grandson seeing it through his eyes and this new experience all.“

“We LOVE Claim Jumper! It’s become one of our favorite restaurants. All of the food is incredible. Their ribs are to die for, they fall of the bone and their bbq sauce is amazing! I’m from NC and it’s been tough finding a place with good ribs and steak like back home so I was really happy to find a good spot here in CA.“

“Great KFC Wings and cold beer!“

“Have eaten here about 3 times in the last year so far. Services is always good and friendly. Plenty of parking outside. The place is mostly clean. During my last visit a few weeks ago my niece ordered a burger medium well and it looked great when it arrived. However, when she bit into it she had a 3" x 2" strip of greasy paper in her mouth. This was either paper from the burger or from the cheese. We don't know. The waiter and manager were alerted and they offered to replace the burger with a fresh one and comp the meal. They also gave her a free dessert for the trouble. The waiter apologized profusely every time he came to the table. For this I'll say service is great. However, they need to pay more attention in the kitchen to begin with.“

“Time travel back to when you were a kid and you thought this was heaven. In reality, it’s just par. At least they got chicken nuggets. They’re not dinosaur shaped like when I was growing up. Clam chowder is still really good. The new prime rib burger is decent for the price, but the tomato, red onion, and lettuce are steak cut. So, it just feels like the toppings are too big, or they just overpower the beef. My only gear that was grinded, was the lukewarm cheese toast. Other than that, the food is ok. Get a steak if you want your money’s worth. That’s what I usually get at Sizzler. The baked potatoes are always good if you add extra butter and willing to put some elbow grease into making creamy mashed potatoes. My server was good. I like how this Sizzler brings everything to you unlike other locations. Wish they can remodel the interior. It just feels outdated.“

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

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

“**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!

“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.“

“We like to come here for the sweetie crepes but they are no longer have them on the menu. So disappointing!!☹️ However, we asked the server and he suggested berries crapes instead and also I wanted to order a denver omelette breakfast and it was not the menu. Nevertheless the server made it happen. I didn’t catch his name. Thank you anyway. Food was amazing and service the same.“

“This sit-down restaurant, located in the Ghost Town area of Knott’s Berry Farm, offers a refreshing escape from the heat. The establishment is clean, and the staff is both friendly and attentive. The food is excellent, and the air conditioning provides a welcome chill. With only about a 5-minute wait to be seated, it’s the perfect spot for a relaxing break. Note: the restrooms are located outside the restaurant.“
