   This is no longer the wonderful meal it once was when the Knott family still ran the business. Our server was excellent and so was the bartender however the fried chicken dinner and side dishes were not as good as supermarket food under a heat lamp. Very disappointing!

   Restaurant was good as always, however the parking was awful, a total rip off! Trying to park in the metered parking is practically impossible for Knott’s does not monitor their metered parking and so guests park there and use it for the whole day. After driving around for about 30 minutes and charged $30.00, all to just have dinner, not worth it!!!

   We arrived on time but, so many visitors that traffic was impossible. So, we were dropped off by the restaurant and my dad went to go park the car, which took about 30 minutes because, no space in the handicap space and he was sent to the farthest parking lot.. now, I knew what to order for him and still couldn’t be seated unless our party was all together.. your hostess should have a better critique intstead of being snippy when there are seniors.

   Good food- just very busy so service not so great as had to ask for silverware and napkins and one food order that took too long and was not how ordered. But they offered free pie slices to make up for it.

   Used to love coming here, the food and service were great. I hadn’t had a chance to come over the last couple of years because I moved out of the area. A family member told me that the food wasn’t the same quality and the service has gone down so I had to check it out for myself. Unfortunately he was right. The ladies at the hostess counter were great! They were very polite and got us a table an hour before our reservation time. Our waiter on the other hand was not so friendly. Although we weren’t by any means demanding or asked for anything out of the ordinary, he seemed annoyed. He missed bringing out half of our orders and never asked if we wanted refills on our drinks. He ended up leaving towards the end of the meal and the covering waitress seemed a little nervous and unsure of what was going on with the status of our orders. The food wasn’t as good as it used to be. The cherry rhubarb was tough, not as soft as it used to be and my husband’s coffee tasted old and wasn’t hot. I’m not sure if we will be eating here again the next time we’re at Knott’s.

   Food not as good as it used to be. Seemed very much mass produced. Chicken was just okay but sides were totally flat, no taste and corn extremely over cooked. Biscuits were more like rolls than biscuits. Pie was still delicious. Honestly the only bright spot.

   Food was horrible. There was a weird spice / after taste to every thing . The chicken, the gravy, the soup, the pot pie. My husbands fried chicken was still pink on the inside , the salad was sitting in water, we had to ask several times for refills on water and tea. Everything was over priced and just not good. We will never go back. I regret paying $100 for that meal for an instant belly ache.

    Mrs Knotts Chicken dinner is always a hit from delicious perfectly baked chicken, mashed potatoes with chicken gravy and a small side dish of cabbage with bits of ham. The meal is served with either a side salad or chicken soup. The chicken pie comes steaming with vegetables. We always look forward to the yummy biscuits served with boysenberry jam and butter. Meals include either boysenberry or apple pie. Service works like clockwork. I do suggest making reservations prior. Always look forward to dining here.
