I've been twice now and can say I'm a fan. It's in the Knott's Berry Farm hotel. Parking is free and the restaurant is on the right hand side of the lobby. There's booths, tables, and a long bar. Since this restaurant is pretty new and I have barely seen another human being eating here everything looks and feels brand spanking new. Even the little folder they bring your bill is doesn't open so easy because it hasn't been opened enough to stretch out the folded part.
As somebody who grew up with Knott's Berry Farm annual passes followed by working there for 6 years it has a warm spot in my heart. I also love everything boysenberry probably due to the brainwashing I was subjected to in those 6 years. This restaurant has a whole menu of boysenberry themed cocktails, boysenberry entrees, and boysenberry desserts!
First visit my wife and I took my mom who's also a boysenberry nut. My wife and I ordered the boysenberry BBQ chicken salad which was loaded with bbq chicken, roasted corn, black beans, tomatoes, cheese, lettuce, avocado, tortilla strips, and croutons. It was served with a chipotle dressing. Seriously good stuff and a huge portion. My wife and I both really enjoyed it and I would order again. My mom who's a vegetarian was happy to see any of their large variety of hamburgers could be made with a veggie patty so she ordered a burger with fresh cut fries and loved it. My mom and I finished with a boysenberry gelato which was delicious.
I had the boysenberry margarita which was good but the tajin seasoning didn't really pair with the boysenberry flavor but it did pack a big punch and I was buzzin'. My wife had the boysenberry spritzer which was seriously tasty.
Second visit a few weeks later I started with a cup of "chili soup". Sounded odd but I love chili. It's exactly how it sounds, watery chili. Still, it was chunky and I actually liked it. Was heavy on the chili seasonings but I can see some not liking it. For my entre I took a gamble and ordered the salmon. For $27 this was a huge portion and I was surprised how good it was. Huge slab of skin-on blacked salmon covered in cajun seasoning. It was topped with two shrimp and a cream sauce. Then I was able to pick two sides, I went with broccolini and bluecheese coleslaw. I really loved it and thought it was a great deal. My wife had their pulled pork BBQ sandwich and swapped the fries with a side salad. I took a few bites and thought it was great. For drinks I had the Boysenberry Smash and my wife had the "Sip of sunshine". Again, we were buzzin. Good pours here.
You'd assume this would be some crappy tourist trap but honestly it's a really good restaurant! I've been twice and can't wait to return again! Prices are average for restaurants these days, service great, easy parking, and comfortable atmosphere. You'll feel like you rented the place to yourself since you'll most likely be the only people there! Also on OpenTable if you want to earn some points!
Lobby of hotel has a gift shop that sells sugar free boysenberry punch concentrate! There's also a mini Starbucks. read more
