What We Tasted

Although we attended the park with our annual passes, our visit was partially hosted and the food below we enojed at no cost, courtesy of Knott’s Berry Farm.

Linus’ Mac and Cheese Bites

Linus’ Mac and Cheese Bites were served over French Fries and served with a zesty aioli. The mac and cheese was surprisingly decent and the crisp coating was well seasoned and a perfect texture. The sauce wasn’t spicy as advertised but tasted great.

Snoopy’s Mac and Cheeseburger with Burger Sauce

Snoopy’s Mac and Cheeseburger with Burger Sauce was a bit hit with our group. The patty isn’t groundbreaking but all the flavors together (including that surprisingly decent Mac and Cheese) made this an enjoyable dish.

Pigpen’s Ham and Mac and Cheese Loaf

Pigpen’s Ham and Mac and Cheese Loaf was a surprisingly decent option. We paired it with a side of crispy potatoes and it was a really satisfying meal. It’s less of a loaf and more of a baked mac and we loved it.

Jose Peterson’s Swedish Meatball

Jose Peterson’s Swedish Meatball on top of Mac and Cheese and Fries is a strangely named dish but it’s a pretty good one all together. The meatballs were small but tasty, wish there were more. The mac is a great balance. Needed a sauce or drizzle to set it over the top but another surprisingly fairly solid choice.
