One of the few places in California where you can get true southern dishes for really terrific prices. Adding that it's a part of Knott's Berry Farm Amusement park makes this a great choice for breakfast or dinner.
The friendly waitresses (who wear old fashioned blue, pink and green puffy sleeved dresses with white aprons) lead you from the lobby to one of the large dining rooms. The rooms are old and have crooked floors, but have a terrific cozy feeling. One of the dining rooms has a cascading waterfall feature.
One of the best treats the restaurant offers are their biscuits and gravy. I truly can eat this and this only and be very very happy. The white gravy served with freshly baked light-as-a-feather biscuits is the most comforting thing to eat.
Eating at Knott's Chicken restaurant is like going doing to the south and eating at an old grandmother's table. Large plates loaded with their famous fried chicken, mashed potatoes and endless refillable drinks, this place will definitely fill your stomach.
If you plan on tying the restaurant, I strongly suggest going during breakfast during the week. On weekends you can wait for over an hour, yet work day waits are no more than 10 minutes. And don't even think of going for dinner - when the amusement park get close to closing, the restaurant fills with starving park goers and the line gets impossible long.
Parking is free for up to 3 hours so definitely try this place. Its wonderful atmosphere and delicious, great prices, and large servings of food will keep you coming back year after year.
Breakfast is served from 7 to 11 a.m. Lunch and Dinner is served after 11 a.m.
