I thought this was one of the highlights of our Knotts merry farm food tasting. We got the tamale fries, which are part of the meal plan and they were really good. Basically a tamale dumped on top of fries, but the fries were nice and crispy and the tamale had a great flavor. Would definitely get it again and I want to try all of their other options.

I just realized this place moved locations and they stepped up their game with the fries, but there's still something a miss. It's like they have all the right ingredients but somethings missing or it's almost a 5 star place/concept. Since they moved I've tried the chicken tinga fries, a side of yucca fries and their a la Diabla fries. They're above mid, but it's so frustrating because it's almost there. I recommend the Yucca fries over any of the other fries. They're thicker, tastier and don't get soggy from all the toppings. I ordered the a la Diabla fries today and the advertisement says it comes with Yucca fries, but when I got my order it came with seasoned fries. It was above mid with with the seasoned fries, and the corn just worked really well with the fries, but I know the Yucca fries would've been WAY better! Also the a la Diabla fries area basically the shrimp from Panda Express, the cilantro lime rice from Chipotle (even though this rice had no sign of cilantro in them), some not so spicy crema sauce and corn. The chicken tinga is SPICY so be prepared with some water or soda on hand. It's a good snack that will hold you over for a while, but won't make you feel too full or tired. The line is hit or miss. If most people have a Knott's dining plan then it will move fast but if people are paying with card then it tends to move a bit slower. Overall still a solid place to get a good meal/snack.

Nasty Sad small box of $15 asada fries. Certainly not worth it. Will find another place to get food in the park.

O M G the Lemon Butter Garlic Shrimp is SOOOOO good. Ordered it with Shoestring fries (which are the same size as McDs, but better). Literally smothered in Parmesan Cheese. Make sure to mix it around well, it tastes and eats MUCH better. There are no tables around, BUT there is inside and outside seating not far away. On this day, it was hot, so I went inside with the AC going full blast. This is a Summer Night's Taste Card special and it definitely special. The service was okay as the backend forgot my order and about 5 ppl behind me received their food before I did, but oh well, stuff happens. Highly recommend this dish. Happy Eating and Fight On!

Carne asada fries (steak, cheddar cheese, sour cream, guacamole)Chili cheese fries Elote fries (corn, mayo, cotija cheese, chili powder)--- the mayo sounds weirdChorizo fries (queso blanco, chorizo, pica de gallo)Sides: sour cream, guacamoleWe've had the carne asada fries several times, but we haven't tried other items, though. It's pretty good. One youtube vlogger noted that the cheese is not melted, which he didn't like. It's kinda funny, that I didn't notice that- guess, I was too busy eating! We found out about this place because we were viewing Food at Knotts videos. This is a popular place, which you notice when you're in a long line.Prior to purchasing the single meal plan, this was one of our favorites at Knotts.Would we get this again, yes, but we purchased the single meal plan, this time, so we're excited about trying as many of the places available; we tried five places over the course of three days, the week of October 10th (fifteen listed- Boardwalk/Calico Tater Bites/ Cantina/ Coasters/ Fireman's BBQ/ Grizzly Creek Lodge/Panda Express/ Portside/ Prop Shop Pizzeria/ Sutter's Grill/ Sutter's Pizza/ Wagon Wheel/ Wilderness Broiler- 13 here).

The chili cheese fries are good but the asada fries lack flavor.

One of my favorite spots at Knotts. Their fries are amazing. So far, I've tried the carne asada fries and Elote fries & they are both so delicious. Next on my list is definitely the chili cheese fries. Love it here! P.s. they don't serve beer here, (the beer in my picture is from the outdoor beer nearby, which is super convenient)

Fries were good, meat was on the colder side and the steak was absolutely cold.. I guess if your hungry they are ok
