   Went here for the boysenberry festival brunch. They had a good selection of different types of food and most of it was very good. Unfortunately , quite a few things were just warm and not hot , but that's typical of many of the brunches. For the price I would recommend it.

   Haven’t been in years and remembered the chicken being awesome! Unfortunately it wasn’t. It’s buffet and everything sits in chaffing dishes and that doesn’t work well with fried chicken. All the other sides were fine but definitely not worth the price point considering all the other brunch options nearby in LBC area. Most of the food was sub par at best. They had some boysenberry dishes that were weird/fun to try but the food just isn’t high quality and I will not return. Our waiter was awesome and kept our drinks full and all staff were helpful and nice

   Staff was nice but unfortunately the food was so bland. The fried chicken was kept under a hot light or reheated in the microwave, it was stale and not crispy. The mashed potatoes were in between watery and clumpy…I’m not sure how that works but that’s what we tasted. We were happy about the chicken soup and rolls. Those are the starters though. Prices that high and none of us enjoyed are main courses.

   Mrs. Knott’s Chicken was a pleasant surprise. I would say the food is okay. I got the chicken dinner. It comes with: - Chicken (choice of mix - breast, wing, thigh or leg) or all dark or all white for an extra charge - Sides : Mashed potato or corn (or cabbage with ham) - Soup (or rhubarb) - Salad - Dessert (choice of pie) I got all dark (thighs). It was okay. Some were dry, which is weird for thigh. The soup was also just okay. It was thick and noodles felt a bit overdone. I liked corn and mashed potatoes with gravy. And salad was any given salad of mixed lettuce and a few toppings. This place is definitely a bang for your buck. I shared this and ended up taking the dessert home. You guys… Here’s the thing. The service was SO excellent. Our server, Cole, was so extra top notch. I can easily say he was one of the best waiters I’ve ever had! He offered all the options (I.e. Dressing on the side? Extra sauce? If you can’t decide, maybe a little bit of both?) I mean… He even heard our side talks and offered options. I didn’t have to ask for anything. I’m sure he made my evening. (Thank you!) TL;DR : Try it! It’s a bit of a novelty. It’s a good price for what you’re getting. And the service is awesome!

   Atmosphere was very good, clean and staff were friendly and attentive. Food wasntcas good as last year. Chicken was dry, turkey was overly salty yet the shrimp and prime rib were very flavorful. Other selections of food appeared dry and stagnant, as if in the warming try too long

   hostess was very rude to our party because we had an infant with stroller. she sat us in the middle of the aisle where my son could get hurt. unfortunately saw a gentleman in a wheelchair that was sat in the middle of the aisle as well, not ada friendly or safe . only redeeming experience was the service from michael at the omlette station and on waiter KC, they are exceptional!

    It is the best value for the chicken dinner plus more. The employees are informative and friendly. I had a great holiday with Charlie Brown and Snoopy.
