Great traditional chicken dishes - the biscuits and jam were amazing - we would definitely come again if we were in the area

We got in quick and service was perfect. The chicken dinner was crispy and good. All was reasonably priced.

Had a wonderful birthday celebration here to remind me of my childhood and their famed fried chicken and boysenberry pie. And those BISCUITS!! Yum. Non-alcoholic friendly bar selections, too like virgin boysenberry mojito. So good!! Thank you so much!

Food was good although the fried chicken, especially the breast piece, was dry. Other than that I will definitely eat there again next time I'm at Knotts Berry Farm.

Our family has been going to Mrs. Knott's chicken dinner for six decades. Unfortunately, the last three times we have been there (2025), our chicken has been dry! The staff give us replacement chicken, but it was dry also. We didn't wanna try for around three, we wanted to spend our time in the park, it was my grandson‘s birthday. We used to choose Knott's for special occasions because they served the best, moist, fried chicken you could get. It just seems like we can't get that chicken anymore.

Food was horrible. Asked for plain pasta for the kids and server said everything is pre maid. Asked server for all flats on wing order and same thing all pre made. Ordered chicken and waffle sliders, the chicken was a breaded chicken patty that looked like a frozen Tyson patty. It was just all gross. Never again. Bill for 2 Asians 2 kids under 6 was $100!

I've been coming here for years, I love their chicken and sides. Couldn't have asked for a more perfect chicken spot.

Our server was exceptional and on top of our needs. We appreciated him. The fried chicken was dry and hard to swallow. I had to keep dipping into the mashed potatoes and gravy to make it more palatable. It was early dinner rush, so maybe they served us left-over chicken from their lunch rush. I am not sure what happened, but they missed the mark on this one.

Only complaints ...We did not get seated in the area reserved. The restaurant was not crowded and still understaffed or slow. The food was excellent and brought back memories of my childhood. Visiting from Ohio, I have frequented the restaurant a number of times on vacation since childhood. Mrs. Knotts' chicken dinner did not disappoint and was very filling. My wife had the pot pie and loved it. A highlight everyone in the party had excellent boysenberry flavored cocktails. In an era of small plates and picture perfect mini meals, Mrs. Knotts' delivered a traditional and tasty homestyle meal. My memories with family over the years came crashing back at first bite.

Famous chicken dinner - chicken was very dry & soup very salty. Not impressed with the food. Salad good but the size was very small. Chicken pot pie was alright. Service was very good though.
I loved the restaurant. It was my first time using Open Table. My party had ten people in it, and the restaurant was ready to seat us when we got there. Our server Anthony was nice, quick and efficient at handling everything we needed. Everyone in my party enjoyed their meal.

Our party of eight received excellent service, and food was quick. Half the group was from New Hampshire, and we look forward to our visit and Knott's chicken dinner meal when we visit!

Still love the nostalgia...I first ate here in 1965 and frankly the food was so much better decades ago. The service was on point but my Fried Chicken was basically inedible...Very dry and tough to the point where chewing it was impossible to get it done properly for swallowing...I tried several bites and from 3 different pieces. I would consider going here for something else to eat but it is a Chicken Dinner restaurant for heaven's sake. Sad the quality of their food product has been lowered to that level.

Our waiter seemed overwhelmed, our biscuits finally came out with the food, which we had asked for several times, food was good but the waiter seemed to be struggling, disappeared for long periods and seemed to forget about us

Excellent service by staff and waitress. Famous Fried Chicken Dinner was delicious. Seating at wooden table and wooden chairs, high ceiling, med lighting.
