MRS. KNOTTS CHICKEN DINNER RESTAURANT

MRS. KNOTT'S CHICKEN DINNER

KNOTT'S BERRY FARM

BUENA PARK, CALIFORNIA

My beloved Grandma would always enjoy taking the family to Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner Restaurant at Knott's Berry Farm. Back in the day this was a dining treat for special occasions that brought our family together for a few special hours. We brought back 15 family members this trip and enjoyed a great dinner and most importantly time with our family. 79 year old Mom was there along with my 50 something year old brother and sister and their families. We started with Garlic Fries and BBQ Chicken Wings for the table. The Fries were delicious and the wings were meaty and had some heat. Not bad at all. Most went for the Chicken Dinner which for $14.95 is a bargain. You get a salad and your choice chicken noodle soup or rhubarb soup. The salad was perfect starter after the fresh baked biscuits served with Knott's famous jellies. The chicken soup was thick and hearty. The rhubarb soup was not my favorite. There were three huge pieces of chicken on the plate served with a pile of mashed potatoes and good dose of gravy. When you mix the chicken with a scoop of mashed potatoes and gravy it was a symphony of flavor that cannot be beat. The meal also includes your choice of fresh baked pie or ice creme for desert. We also tried the BBQ Ribs which did not get the best taste reviews. The Chicken Fried Steak was a crowd pleaser. The Macaroni and Cheese I was told was a bit bland. All and all this was an incredible meal because it brought together our family who only see each other once a year at best.
