“ My go to place for funnel cake. Best funnel cake - Fully loaded with boysenberry topping and ice-cream ”
“ Not greasy, delicious fluffy-ness of funnel cake goodness. ”
“ First time ordering from here. They have just a few choices - chicken fingers, burger and cheeseburger, and a buffalo chicken burger. Then they have fries, drinks, and I also noticed grab & go cookies. Fortunately, the line was pretty short - and we were helped by Amanda who was very friendly and greeted us with a smile! We couldn't decide on which burger to get so she made a suggestion of her favorite burger - her description made it sound really good so we went with it. Also, I liked that she suggested a beverage of boysenberry punch and lemonade - kind of a Knott's Arnold Palmer - and let me tell ya - it's real tasty!! We did have to wait a few minutes for our burger, but the wait wasn't too bad (*I noticed some other reviews complained of the wait time) - but personally, I'd rather wait a little bit for my food to be freshly made, rather than getting something that was pre-made and sitting under a heat lamp. But if there were more people in line to order, I could see how the wait time could add up. But we had a great experience which I really appreciated! ”
“ Staff was super friendly and let us use my season pass discount for my friends who had only bought day passes. I ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich and was pleasantly surprised. A lot of food with the amount of fries you get! They also replaced my top bun after it flew off in a gust of wind while I was walking to a table. Excellent stop in Knott's Berry Farm! ”
“ Came to Knott's for the Peanut Celebration. I got one of the seasonal menu items, the Peanut Butter and Jelly Cheeseburger available only at Sutter's. IMHO it's the best thing on the menu. Served with a side of french fries. I wish they would have it all year, but it's only at Knott's during the Peanut Celebration. Honestly most of the time the burgers at Knott's are overcooked and dry, but this one is great. I highly recommend it. ”
