   I’ve been going to this restaurant since my childhood and I finally was able to share it with my grandchildren. Although it remained nostalgic for me I found the restaurant dirty (including the table they placed our family of 9 at). The food was good but it wasn’t hot as it should be. It must have been sitting for awhile. The service was slow although the waitress was kind. Possibly she had too many tables? Short on staff? The restaurant is in need of a remodel and it should remodel so that it can continue this tradition on for generations. I fear the quality may be on a downward spiral in comparison to past experiences. I’m rooting for this restaurant. I hope they read reviews!

   Was not impressed. The biscuits tasted funny and the food was just okay. My son liked his chicken fried steak, I thought the fried chicken had no flavor and neither of us liked the mashed potatoes. My son said they tasted like they came from a box. This meal was for his birthday and he said it was the worst birthday meal ever.

   Breakfast with Santa was very over rated. Lots of stale and cold food. Pictures with Santa weren't included. Of course it was an upcharge for a pic with him. He did hand out a stuffed animal which was a plus. However for the price it is insane the pic wasn't included. With enough of the yummy mimosas I can almost forget how much I paid for cold stale food.

   Every time we go to Knotts, we have to eat at Mrs. Knotts. Especially for the chicken noodle soup. This time we went to the Christmas Brunch. Excellent food, and a chance to see Santa. It is a bit pricey, but I think it's worth it. Got to enjoy some boysenberry champagne, too!

   9 of us attended Breakfast with Santa at Mrs. Knott’s. It was our first time experiencing this festive tradition here and it did not disappoint. The buffet was plentiful and varied with options for the young and not-so-young. Our group was particularly fond of the fried chicken, biscuits, gravy, yogurt and fruit, and the danish. The chicken tamales also received high praise. Santa was on site, took time to chat with the kids, and gave each one of them an adorable stuffie. Professional pics were taken with an option to purchase. The entire wait staff team assigned to our table was professional and prompt; refilling drinks, clearing plates, and replenishing napkins, etc. our entire party agreed that it was a morning well spent-together and making wonderful memories

   We came here for Breakfast with Santa. The breakfast menu was very good. There was a nice selection and everything was delicious. It was a good mix of southern, American and Mexican breakfast. My only complaint is that the restaurant was cold because it was a cold day also but every time we got hot food, it got cold very fast at the table. We had to keep getting up and get small portions to minimize. The santa experience was nice too. We got an early reservation so my son had a nice one on one time and there was no line so we didn't feel rushed. Gift included with breakfast. I wish they would have included at least one photo with the experience but it was nice. Photos were a separate cost.

   Service and food was excellent. Was a little loud due to the holiday crowd.

    I’ve been here before a few times. Tonight we had to wait 15 minutes after our reservation time. The rhubarb was under cooked. The chicken was excellent. The cabbage serving was too small. The service was slow. Other experiences at this restaurant were better than this one. Maybe they had a bad night. I hope so. It’s a classic so I hope they will get back to perfect on our next visit.
