Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner Restaurant

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.

This is about the third time I've eaten here & I have officially decided that the chicken does not taste like the original recipe at all. Also very little meat on the chicken, and the breast meat was overcooked and tough. The potatoes seem like they were made with potato flakes, I could be wrong but they had the density of Play-Doh. My cabbage didn't have any ham in it and was a very small serving, barely filled the bowl. The apple pie & the biscuits were great! The service was great! Overall it just seems too corporate now, it doesn't have that warm homey feeling to it like it had when Mr. and Mrs. Knotts owned it. I worked there in 1977 at the Cable Car Kitchen outside of the park & would frequent the restaurant for breakfast or lunch, it's definitely not the same chicken dinner meal I enjoyed back in the day. 

The chicken was overcooked, dry, and lacked any flavor. Very disappointing. High prices for substandard food.

Great celebration for Father’s Day

Great place for delicious comfort food. Fast friendly service and definitely make a reservation.

I ordered their famous fried chicken dinner meal friendly , delicious chicken, salad , chicken noodle soup, biscuits with butter & boysenberry jam , boysenberry punch , water , boysenberry pie , was great too.

This place is great!! The chicken is delicious with a nice old time country vibe and it is a great place to take the family. The real winner though is the biscuits with boysenberry jam. They are one of a kind. Try this place if you are in the area and love good fried chicken.

Enjoy the meal 😋

Definitely a great experience here at Mrs. Knott's kitchen! The food was excellent. I ordered the chicken fried steak, and it had a lot of flavor, was moist, and the portions for their dinners are EXTREMELY generous. Kelli was my server, and each time I visit, she is phenomenal! I'm sad that Knotts no longer sells their boysenberry jelly (in store), but I thankful that I can look forward to coming here & still enjoy their boysenberry preserves & tea! The meals that they provide are more than generous for their price. I am thankful that this place can still offer such a great deal for wonderful food, and great service. I highly recommend this restaurant!!!
