My recent experience at Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner restaurant was mostly positive. The restaurant's interior is clean, and the service is generally nice, although on busier days, it can be challenging to get consistent attention from the staff. However, the food more than makes up for any service lapses. I particularly enjoyed the delicious biscuits with jam – they were a highlight of the meal. Overall, the food quality is consistently great, and I'm puzzled by the low reviews. Despite minor service issues, I still had a wonderful dining experience and would recommend it for anyone craving delicious comfort food.

Best chicken noodle soup I’ve ever had, the chicken I had with the boysenberry BBQ sauce was amazing and the boysenberry juice was really good too. The bread rolls were fresh and tasty. The waiters were very nice and even funny. I’ve been wanting to go back to this restaurant for months now.

Staff was great, really went above and beyond but it felt like they had too much ground to cover (too many tables for one server). However, the food came out super quickly.Chicken was just ok- crunchy and juicy but lacked flavor and salt. I felt the gravy and the boysenberry sauce that came with the biscuits was also a bit bland (I joked that I might have covid). Chicken noodle soup was good.Overall, it’s a fine option if you’re at the amusement park, again the staff was great. But I wouldn’t go just for the food.

This is a fun place to eat and great service. This restaurant started it all for the making of Knott’s Berry Farm. The fried chicken is the favorite and also has the chicken fried steak. Soups and salads stated good. Also don’t forget some Apple pie take it to go and stop by the Cable Car Kitchen for some ice cream on top.
I ordered the classic chicken dinner. I was so surprised by the amount of food I received for $26.50! It came with half of a fried chicken (breast, wing, thigh, and drumstick}, house salad with choice of dressing, chicken noodle soup, bread with boysenberry jam, mashed potatoes with gravy, corn or cabbage seasoned with ham , and a piece of apple or boysenberry pie. Everything tasted good. The chicken was super crispy on the outside and juicy inside. However, it wasn't the most favorable I've ever had. The mashed potatoes were a little dry and the gravy a little bland. Salt and pepper fix that, though. The corn tasted pretty fresh and the bread was fresh and soft. The bread was served with their delicious famous boysenberry jam.It was a nice experience but it's not something I would go out of my way to go to or order again. The chicken noodle soup it came with was super delicious, though. I had the boysenberry pie and that was tasty. The crust was a little thick, so a side of ice cream would have complimented that really well.My daughter and husband ordered the chicken tender meal with mashed potatoes. If you don't like gravy, you need to request no gravy on the mashed potatoes.Overall, it was a great experience with super friendly service.Kid-friendliness: Very relaxed atmosphere for the entire family.

We had others with us on 4-7-2024 for dinner. Since the mid 90's the restaurant was always the place to go for dinner. Since then the remodel has secluded patrons to all eat at miss Knott's. This last visit the chicken was very dry and when I said all our plates need to go back. I was told by the waitress that the chicken is always like that. I would hope the company would Reider rate that statement. Miss Knott's would be flipping in her grave since her restaurant has gone down hill and over priced.

They said to wait 5-10min to be seated but we waited half and hour! we have 6 kids with us there are plenty of empty tables they could’ve give to us there’s even two groups of costumers who came after us they were served before us. And after we were seated we waited again for another hours for our food! And thats not it! It was my sisters birthday so i came to the front desk to request for anything she could blow a candle for the kids to sing on her birthday because she love the kids so much and this is one time get together because we just came here for a vacation. But you know what the front desk told me?! You have to go to bakery buy a cake there and put it on you’re table. Sooo rude old lady! Definitely not coming back again and won’t recommend to any of my friends!!

I don’t know if it’s just me but I remember the food from Ms. Knott’s chicken place used to be better back in. They give you a lot of food but it’s not worth the price, the flavor is muddled. Servers are overall good but sometimes you get a “Squidward”. If you want better food, go to Ghost Town Grill when it’s open

Wow. The dinners are very worth the price. Soup salad dinner with 2 sides and dessert. The fried chicken so yummy and not greasy at all. Roasted chicken is very tasty.You will have a wait when you come here but the place is bigger then you think 4 separate rooms and a bar . They are cashless but there are signs in many places to tell you this.While you are waiting for your table explore the other stores.10/10 if I could.Kid-friendliness: Family friendly

Something has changed about the quality of the food here. The last two times we dined here were so disappointing. The biscuits were all mushy inside, just raw dough, and even left a nasty aftertaste . The chicken noodle soup was too salty. The Mac cheese had a weird texture and didn’t taste good at all. The grilled chicken had no flavor, but what was most upsetting is it was undercooked in some parts. Same with the fried chicken strips- Undercooked. The mashed potatoes were rubbery, like mozzarella cheese on a pizza. The salad was just ok. The corn was floating in a bowl of water, weird. This used to be the best place to eat when visiting Knotts, but sadly the quality of the food has dropped. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I hope the management would investigate and make changes in the kitchen.
