   Just a great experience! Though the food was terrific, the real key was the staff. The receptionist and the server were exceptional! If we lived in the area we would be regulars.

   Went to Knotts Berry Farm and then an early dinner at Mrs. Knotts. I had not been there in 30 years and cold not wait to have the fried chicken with mash potatoes with lots of gravy. It was terrible! Mrs. Knott must be turning over in her grave. I get better fried chicken at Ralphs. The biscuits had no flavor, and the gravy was no better.

   The entire mashed potatoes on both our orders were HARD. Chicken dry and over cooked. Food was room temperature and not just cooked. Things have negativity changed with the food quality. This used to be a favorite. Don't recommend and we won't be back.

   We had the chicken lunch. The chicken was especially moist and crispy. The entire meal was great. Our server Sharon was awesome. They were short handed and you could tell she was hustling around to serve everyone. She did it with a smile and energy to spare. That kind of service is rare these days.

   Most of the food was good except for the bread, it tasted a little weird. Their portion size is HUGE, so even though it would seem like theme park prices, you actually get your money’s worth. All of the staff were courteous and helpful, we will definitely be returning on our next visit to Knott’s Beery Farm.

   I love the nostalgia of this restaurant. I am 52 and have been coming here for 52 years! Excellent service. Great, spirited family environment. Order the fried chicken. At around $24 for dinner it's a great value. My daughter and I shared a meal and we were pleasantly full. The dinner comes with soup, salad, corn, bisquits, mashed potatoes, and boysenberry pie. Great value!

    Overall very disappointed. Service was terrible, waited awhile and waitress not informative. We were asked apple or boysenberry pie and she brought all boysenberry but failed to tell they were out of apple. Failed to tell stewed rhubarb was out . Just lacked overall communication except for when it was time to pay.

    Thank you. Very good.Liked the original classic interior better though. Disappointed they felt pressured to remodel. If I wanted modern, TGIF is right across the street

    Due to a mistake with staffing it took a fair amount of time have our orders to be taken. Management and particularly our new server Chris went above and beyond to rectify the situation. Chris was so very attentive to our needs and it was a genuine joy to be served by her. I hope we are able to be served by her again in the future. She’s a gem!

    Bonnie was a great server & we enjoyed our first time at Mrs Knott's! We can't wait to visit again. The fried chicken was great & the chicken pot pie was amazing with an extra flakey crust. YUM! Both the apple pie & boysenberry pie were delicious!

    We had a reservation and we were seated a few minutes late due to them being behind. The food was good but I wish they would bring back the dumplings strips instead of the balls.

    Very disappointed, beginning with being seated in the Bar area when reservation was for the Main seating area and not neither were busy. Server was very hard to understand, abrupt and not attentive. We ordered the famous Mrs. Knotts Fried Chicken dinner. The chicken was very dry and smelled like it had been fried in old grease. Mashed potatoes and gravy were hard and cold. Overall, this was a huge let down. Sadly, we won't be returning.

    Chicken a little too dark and overdone. Soup, luke warm, but tasty. Biscuits not the same, they used to be soooo good, not so much anymore. One waitress had long hair, not tied back so when she walked by us to another table, carrying the tray up on her shoulder I could see her hair in those people food. Another waiter was running around like a chicken with his head cut off. He looked panicked like he was so overwhelmed, just not a good look for a waiter to looked so frazzled!

    After hearing all the hype about Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner, I was excited to try it out on my recent visit to the OC. I have to say that I had mixed feelings about my meal there. The service was quick and attentive, the portions were huge, but the food was of mixed quality. The chicken soup and caesar salad served with the meal were good, and the boysenberry pie was easily the highlight of the meal. I must say that I was quite disappointed with the fried chicken; it was huge, but dry and flavorless. If you ever find yourself in Florida, check out the deli counter of Publix grocery stores, as their fried chicken is much better. Overall, if you just want a slice of boysenberry pie, this is the perfect spot for a quick, homestyle dessert.

    Everything was good except the mash potatoes were cold. Also when I called to make a reservation nobody mentioned that I could just walk in without a reservation. I live 2 hrs away and rushed to make my 3:45 reservation. So I was surprised that the restaurant was empty when I got there. Need better communication with the public.

    It took a bit longer than expected before we got seated, but once we sat at our table, service was excellent. The fried chicken meal was delicious! Great value. For $18 got 2 pieces of fried chicken, biscuits with butter and boysenberry jam on the side, a choice of salad, chicken noodle soup, or rhubarb, and some mashed potatoes and gravy.

    If your in the mood for over priced hospital food you’ve found the right place!!! I’m lost for words to be quite honest. Embarrassing service and embarrassing to call that “food” 0 out of 10 wouldn’t recommend it to a dog.

    The food was delicious and definitely worth the price. The portions were huge. My only gripe was the quality of the sides. Both the cabbage and the corn tasted old and not well seasoned.
