Knott’s Berry Farm
If you're seeking a warm and cozy Thanksgiving dinner right in the comfort of your hotel room, consider the convenient option of ordering a takeout Thanksgiving meal from Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner. It's important to note that these Thanksgiving takeout offerings tend to have limited time slots and can sell out quickly, so it's highly advisable to be diligent in your planning to secure a delicious Thanksgiving feast for your holiday celebration.

Gaucho Grill
A twist on the Argentinian steakhouse, Gaucho Grill features cuts of skirt steak, ribeye, filet mignon, short rib, porterhouse, and so many other delectable options. Sides include empanadas, smoked potatoes, veggies, mashed potatoes, mushroom, creamed corn and various others. While they won’t have a more traditional holiday menu available, the overall experience will make for a memorable way to enjoy a meal to be grateful for with the family.

Try one, or one of each, of their Caesar salad, gravy, roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, orange cranberry relish, and pumpkin or apple pie.

Black Bear Diner
If you’re as hungry as a bear this Thanksgiving, then Black Bear Diner is the place for your holiday dinner. All of your classic American favorites including chicken fried steak, roasted turkey, house made meatloaf, slow-cooked pot roast, and home-style fried chicken.
