    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.

    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!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience! Starting in the bar with great drinks and fantastic sunset viewing on the patio, to the quiet table for 7 to celebrate my husband's birthday! The drinks and food came in great timing, too! The steaks and seafood dishes were very delicious, as was the baby back ribs!
