    One of the few drinking options at Knotts. This is located inside the Calico Park. I like the saloon theme and that there is indoor and outdoor seated. Grabbed us a couple of drinks for about $15 each which is of course overpriced but it was refreshing and it hit the spot.

    Small little bar located in calico park, wait time was less than 5mins before 12pm after 12 it's about a 10-15 min wait. Ordered two boysenberry margaritas and surprisingly had a strong kick! Only a available during the boysenberry festival. Definitely worth a try.

    Second floor view!

    This place gets better as we age. I'm anticipating that by the time I'll be bringing my kids to their Snoopy pilgrimage, this adult watering hole will become my favorite place to relax and rest my feet with a delicious boysenberry drink. The decor here keeps with the wild west theme, and the holiday spirit brings in a fun Christmas song performance. Definitely grab a boysenberry vodka smoothie to cool off on the second floor and enjoy the view!

    After riding some roller coasters , a nice cold alcoholic beverage sounds great. Took awhile to figure out a place to get one, but finally came across a worker , who guided us in the right direction. This is a cool saloon... line waiting outside , about a ten minute wait ... not bad. The menu is on the doors; so you can glance at it and have an idea what you want to order, when your called up. They do check id's , so be prepared. Bar tenders are very nice and friendly. Whipped up the drinks in no time. Tasty and refreshing boysenberry mojito- nice strong drink. The ipa was quenching and refreshing on a hot day. The saloon vibe is very appealing and the theme is on point. There's some table and chairs to sit at , and watch the entertainment on the stage , behind the bar. This is a nice place to take a break, cool - down and relax in between rides .

    My company's summer event took place at Knott's. My boss and coworkers wanted some cold, refreshing beer to help cool down in the crazy heat. We settled on Calico Saloon for its boysenberry beer because it's one of the boysenberry products that Knott's is known for. The saloon is cute with that wild west vibe. However, the boysenberry beer was just not amazing. We don't taste the boysenberry at all. If we did, the flavor was hardly recognizable on our tongues. Yes, it was cold beer and it got the job done, but the beer was also only slightly carbonated. It became flat very quickly. For $12/cup, the boysenberry beer was definitely lacking. There's no difference between regular beer and boysenberry beer that day.

    Stopped in for a drink and a pickle. Friendly bartenders and a nice selection of drinks made this a good stop! I will say, it could've been a little faster to get through here, and the menu wasn't posted outside with all the seasonal drinks, so I didn't know what to order until I got up to the bar. But overall, it was a positive experience!

    Boysenberry beer and cider very good
    Alicia D.

    Very cool through back saloon style entertainment and service. Love the boysenberry festival here with cider beer and wine all boysenberry. We tried so many of the tasting card and loving it all so far. First time here for this festival liking it. Just here 1 hours and 30 minutes. Happy girl

    The stage and bar!

    They sell beer here & Sarsaparilla for the grommets! If you don't know what Sarsaparilla is its kinda like the Old Wests version of root beer. This past visit they only had Budweiser, BudLight, for around $10 & ShockTop for $1 more. This is one of the only permanent places inside Knotts that sells beer that automaticity deserves full stars! They also have a few snack foods you can order here but if your going to come here just get beer I mean come on you know how good it's going to taste after you've been chillin in the sun for most of the day dealing with those pesky kids wanting to see Snoopy. They also have the Calico Saloon Show here it pretty much consists of your typical old school saloon show with a piano it was definitely quite enjoyable to watch wile I sipped on my beer. We will definitely be hitting this watering hole up on one of the next visits to Knotts!

    Boysenberry Draft Beer
    Kevin B.

    Great to be able to have an alcoholic beverage while at an amusement park. This is the place to get a beer or a glass of wine. Came here to try the boysenberry draft beer for $10.29. They also have craft, domestic draft and import beers; sodas, bottled water, popcorn and pickles. Ordered the boysenberry beer and sat up in the balcony to watch the 2:00 PM performance. The seating is pretty limited and if you sit in the back tables in the balcony you will not be able to view the show. Very cute love story between Cameo and Dan. A lot of fun audience participation. The piano player, Fingers, was funny. The beer was very refreshing but I was hoping for more hints of the boysenberry flavor. Still nice draft beer. Maybe I needed to pair the draft with a pickle.

    Ever since I turned 21 Calico Saloon is my new favorite spot. I love the Boysenberry Beer and Wine drinking it while having entertainment in the saloon. You do get a wristband that says ID checked so that security knows that your at least 21 and over but they may still ask for ID. They don't just have adult beverages here they have boysenberry soda, Sarsaparilla and sodas to refill your souvenir cups if you have one.

    After challenging the wife to a game of Iron Reef with loser buys, we stopped here for a draft and a show. She bought me a draft domestic since I don't like fruity beers. We stayed for the show.

    Great place to chill on a hot day. They have a saloon show that performs on the stage/bar area. Plenty of seating both downstairs and upstairs. They have a full bar, but only popcorn as food. Try the Boysenberry Beer for something new.

    Cute show

Their boysenberry cocktail drink menu is also filled with tasty options as well, which is unfortunately why this review has no pictures as we were having such a good time I forgot to snap any. :P The servers were friendly and were quick to check on us and keep the drinks coming - they were well staffed, and things were flowing perfectly. The ambiance is new and clean, I know it's a year or so old now, but it's clear they keep the place up. Lots of seating, and the restaurant is attached to the bar so it's about as close as the kitchen is. In all I was really pleased with everyting about this place and I would certainly return. :)

Although CJ's was a much better restaurant from 1977-2005 when privately run by the Nickoloff family and took another quality hit when the otherwise excellent Landry's chain took over in 2010, the remaining locations, including this one, are still decent sit down, casual, and family dining restaurants. After visiting several times for lunch and dinner on both weekdays and weekends during both peak and non-peak hours, in our opinion, Yelpers who have complained about poor service both from servers and seaters as well as the seats being run down have not had a typical experience here. Although getting seated was a little slow on several of our visits, the people who seated did not have a bad attitude and on a few occasions it was our server. Although several of our servers here were friendly and attentive, Austin on our last visit, really did a good job. This is one of the only remaining CJ's that still has a salad bar and we have gotten it on several visits. We have also had the ribs and chicken pot pie at this location as well as some of their cocktails. Although it is sad that soup is no longer included in the salad bar, the food quality is still good and comparable to other renaming CJ locations such as in San Diego and Vegas (Henderson). This CJ's is located in a strip mall with limited parking and is across the street from Knott's Berry Farm. Parking can be difficult and the spaces are small, but we have always been able to find a spot so far. There are several other good restaurants in the area, but if you are visiting Knott's and want a sit down, casual, and family dining experience, this CJ's is a good choice and better than eating at Knott's--CJ's chicken pot pie is bigger and better than Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner Restaurant. The 3.1 current Yelp average for this CJ's location is too low--it should be a 4 star. It cannot be a 5 star unless the return to the former quality and quantity the restaurant had under the Nickoloff family.

My kids typically order on the adult menu but they were excited that the kids menu had two side options. My daughter ordered the chicken tenders. They did not disappoint they were Krispy and delicious. My son ordered the French toast plate and he rally enjoyed it. The fruit in both plates were fresh. Unfortunately my meal was nothing like my kids. I ordered plain avocado toast. The first time it was brought out the eggs weren't in correct. Our server was kind and said she would have them remake it. I was hoping they actually would remake it because the avocado in the toast makes the bread soggy. The second time my plate was brought out it was the same toast eggs made correctly. As I cut my toast I noticed it was soggy and there was a hair on my plate. The manager was kind and did not hesitate to take it back. I was offered a fresh meal or a nee plate but my appetite was completely gone. Overall the service wasn't bad, I'm not sure what went wrong. Lesson to learn here. Check your food & have the waiters read back your order.
