Located just outside the park’s main entrance, you’ll feel like you are a long-awaited guest when you visit Mrs. Knott’s for the fried chicken dinner. The extra-crispy chicken is definitely the star but the copious sides are nothing to scoff at—salad, a choice of cabbage or cherry rhubarb, mashed potatoes smothered in gravy, homemade biscuits, and boysenberry pie or boysenberry sherbet to round out the meal.
