Shhh... The Ultimate Secret Menu Guide to Buena Park

Black Bear Diner
Secret Menu: Chili Burgers & Sweet Surprise
Black Bear Diner has a few crave-worthy secrets up its sleeve. Start with the Bear Claw French Toast—a warm, blackberry-stuffed bear claw griddled to perfection and drizzled with sweet vanilla icing. For something savory, the Big Daddy Burger lives up to its name, stacked high with juicy patties, melted cheese, and fries on the side, making it almost impossible to decide where to take the first bite. Don’t skip the chili burger either, smothered in rich chili sauce that’s messy in the best way—especially when you dip your fries right into it. Pro Tip: Ask your server about additional off-menu items; there are more hidden.

John’s Incredible Pizza
Secret Menu: Build Your Own “Secret” Creations
The buffet-style setup at John’s Incredible Pizza invites guests to get creative. Think of it as a choose-your-own adventure: create a root beer float with soft serve ice cream, or sandwich soft serve between fresh cookies for a DIY ice cream sandwich. Dip freshly made pizza slices into ranch or nacho cheese sauce for an unexpected twist, or customize a baked potato called the Nacho Usual Potato with toppings from across the buffet like nacho cheese, cheddar, jalapeños, tomatoes, and sour cream. Try Childhood on a Plate, with breaded chicken nuggets, creamy mac and cheese, and a drizzle of classic BBQ sauce. Finish with Brookies & Cream, a decadent stack of salted caramel brownie and chocolate chip cookie topped with soft serve ice cream for the ultimate dessert mashup.

In-N-Out Burger
Secret Menu: Burgers, Fries & Shakes
In-N-Out’s secret menu is legendary for burgers, fries, and drinks. Go big with the 4×4, featuring four beef patties and four slices of American cheese, or try a tomato-wrapped burger if you’re skipping the bun. Animal Style fries come smothered in melted cheese, spread, and grilled onions, while drinks like the Neapolitan shake (chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry) or a root beer float complete the experience. For a true twist, try your burger Monkey Style with fries tucked right inside.

Hilton Hotel Buena Park
Secret Menu: Rooftop & Rosemary Room Favorites
At the Hilton Hotel Buena Park, enjoy secret menu gems from the rooftop pool or the onsite restaurant—The Rosemary Room--and bar, all conveniently orderable from your phone. Indulge in Verde Sunrise Chilaquiles, with heirloom tortilla chips, roasted tomatillo-poblano salsa, and a sunny-side egg, or savor Ceviche de Seabass George, featuring citrus-cured seabass and charred elote. Other elevated flavors include the Dolce e Piccante Flatbread with Calabrian-date jam and spiced capicola, and Mar y Sol Tostones topped with shrimp, fruit salsa, and avocado.

The Calico Social Lounge
Secret Menu: Hidden Oasis
And for a bonus, don’t miss the Calico Social Lounge, a VIP retreat tucked away in Ghost Town at Knott’s Berry Farm. This exclusive spot offers Prestige Passholders a place to relax with comfortable seating, TVs to watch your favorite shows, and phone chargers to keep devices powered. If you have the free refills pass, you can refill your cup with a variety of sodas while enjoying free tasty snacks and a calm break from the excitement of the park. It’s the perfect hidden spot to recharge before diving back into all the rides, shows, and treats Knott’s Berry Farm has to offer.
