I love the food and the value at Mrs. Knott's kitchen. We leave Disneyland during our stays there even to come over for a late lunch or dinner. My kids are always so excited to leave Disneyland (hello?) to eat there instead of at Disneyland. More

It does what is says on the jar - it is what it is - Chicken. Kids loved it, but have to say not one of my favourite places. More

On May8, 2012 decided to take a trip to Knott's Berry Farm, and couldn't resist visiting Mrs. Knott's chicken dinner. It was a Tuesday about 3pm so restaurant was not too busy. Biscuits were to dye for. Same old fashioned recipe. The chicken was good, but was lacking a little in the flavor department. It was very moist and mashed... More

This is a must visit place when you are at Knott's Berry Farm - but the good news is that you don't have to buy admission to the park, because the restaurant is outside the gates. Many locals come just for dinner. I have been there several times, always ordering the chicken dinner which comes with mashed potatoes, cherry rhubarb,... More

The place looks old. The servers are not so friendly or enthusiastic. Food is OK. Nothing to write home about. It tasted like any fastfood chicken. More

I ate at Mrs. Knott’s Chicken Dinner Restaurant for lunch on Saturday 4/28/12 with my husband and his co-workers. We arrived at 11am and there was no wait. On the menu, dinner starts at 4pm, but you can order from the dinner menu all day. Everyone at our table came to eat the famous friend chicken. When I found out... More

The best kept secret at Knott's Berry Farm is that Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner Restaurant is open for breakfast at 8am. Parking is free in the 2-hour zone next to the place and during the week there is no crowd. Order coffee and it comes up with a pitcher left at your table. When your entree is ordered the server...

My 2nd favorite part of Knoxs Berry Farm (the first being the Pony Express Ride!). We met people here and I'm supposing because it was a Sunday they had a huge brunch/buffet. I am vegan and there was plenty to eat. Imagine that at a chicken restaurant!! But they had "tons" of food for the carnivore. A huge spread and... More

Everytime we are near Knott's Berry Farm, we must have one of their Chicken Dinners. In spite of some lousy reviews, we just ate here in April 2012. The service was great and very attentive, but the food was delicious. 4 pieces of chicken, and a complete meal. More
