Mrs Knotts Chicken Dinner Restaurant -- Sample Menus
The most famous meal at this restaurant is Mrs. Knotts Fried Chicken Dinner. This dinner includes: Fried chicken made with the original Mrs. Knott's recipe, soup or salad, home-made biscuits served with Knotts jelly and jam, mashed potatoes and gravy, kernel corn, and a slice of pie for dessert.The smaller lunch portion price is currently $10.50, and the larger dinner portion (you'll receive an entire 1/2 chicken!) goes for $13.50. Let me talk about the fried chicken itself. Mrs. Knotts came several decades before Colonel Sanders. (Though they were from the same era, Sanders didn't even START marketing his chicken until "retirement.") Yet, in the last few decades, Kentucky Fried Chicken has molded public opinion about what fried chicken should taste like. People are used to his spicier style of fried chicken...which wasn't a standard way to cook chicken back in 1934 when Mrs. Knotts started out. Thus, modern palates may find Mrs. Knotts chicken bland. Others ADORE the taste and the crispier coating. You'll have to find out how YOU feel about Knotts fried chicken for yourself... Just keep in mind that it's a recipe from an older era. ***Pot Roast ***Chicken Fried Steak ***Roast Turkey and Dressing ***Pork Ribs ***Chicken Pot Pie ***Sandwiches and Salads ***Hamburgers Pies are the specialty dessert at Mrs Knotts Chicken Dinner Restaurant. with a wide assortment from which to choose.

And, although Mrs. Knott's Chicken Restaurant closes on Christmas Day itself, many families also have a tradition of eating their Christmas Eve dinner at Mrs. Knotts, as well.
Though famous for fried chicken dinners, the Mrs. Knotts turkey & stuffing meals are overwhelmingly popular during the holidays. In addition, elegant ham dinners with all the trimmings are served, as well. Even families not dining at the Mrs. Knotts Restaurant can enjoy a Mrs. Knotts family feast! How? By ordering a Mrs. Knotts take-home holiday dinner! The Mrs. Knotts Thanksgiving and Christmas feasts each cost $57.95 plus tax in 2007, which brought the total price to $62.44. Prices for the holidays in 2008 will be announced by the restaurant at a later date. It's possible that the 2008 holiday dinner prices will be slightly higher than last year...but should remain an economical choice. Cooking the same feast (or dining out for the holiday) will certainly cost as much or more than the price of the tasty Mrs. Knotts Christmas dinner.
