    The meal part was nice it was just the 2 of us so it was nice not to cook. The $8 parking fee not so much.

    We went for the advertised “Traditional Thanksgiving Buffet," but the spread felt more like a Vegas-style hodgepodge. In addition to some of the expected items like turkey and stuffing, the odd assortment of waffles, donuts, scrambled eggs, enchiladas, chicken fried steak (to name a few) was just weird. The traditional Thanksgiving dishes were pretty mediocre - they almost seemed like an afterthought - and the random assortment of unrelated items made it feel more like a confusing mix than a true Thanksgiving experience. To top it off, we were seated in a dark corner on the patio by a swinging entrance door, which was a real disappointment. Would not recommend.

    Great experience and amazing food. They will give your table away if no one is present even if you use the restroom. Overall, the ambience is fun and the food was amazing.

    We went there for the Thanksgiving buffet with our daughter's family. The restaurant was full, but we were called to the table on time and we all enjoyed the extensive buffet, plus my husband and I have always enjoyed the ambience at the restaurant for dinner over the years. Service was excellent and thought it was a very good value for the money.

    Best decision I made to be able to have a thanksgiving feast then head to knotts! I cooked the entire feast for many years and it felt good to be taken care of. Thank you to every one who worked on a holiday!
