Buena Park's Best Places to Dine Al Fresco

Since the weather in Southern California is perfection pretty much 99% of the time, there’s no shortage of outdoor dining options for you to choose from. These are our favorites for savoring both the weather and the food simultaneously.

Rock and Brews

With a full size beach volleyball court, cornhole, and tons of picnic seating, Rock and Brews is the place to be when you want to enjoy the SoCal sunshine. Snag a spot by the fire pits in the evening and enjoy the massive variety of beers on tap and rock-themed specialty drinks. Sliders, wings, and the huge Bavarian pretzel are all great food options for sharing with your crew while you enjoy the music into the late hours of the night.

The Cauldron Spirits & Brews

Let The Cauldron Bar cast a spell over your nighttime activities when you enjoy witchy-themed drinks in their expansive outdoor patio. Pick a spot around one of the fire pits and quench your thirst with a Knotty Kid or Wizard’s Cup.

Mrs. Knott’s Chicken Dinner

The patio at Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner just outside the Knott’s Berry Farm entrance is the place to be to enjoy your massive fried chicken dinner after a long day at the park. With sides from mashed potatoes to biscuits to rhubarb, you’ll be glad you can enjoy the fresh air while you dine.
