Originally Posted By FerretAfros This is the first I've heard of the refurbishment, but given the restaurant's status as a somewhat 'historic' element, I can't see them wanting to change too much. They'll probably always have the fried chicken, and the pasta always seems popular too. The interior design is pretty dated (clearly an early-60's take on Victorian), but it's got Dorthea Redmond's fingerprints all over it so it will likely stay the same; it has a certain charm that they just couldn't recreate with a new design. I suspect that this is just a general refreshening, and possibly some upgrades to the kitchen facilities

Originally Posted By familyguy Wow. That says a lot because the chicken at Knott's is actually really good.
Originally Posted By CuriousConstance I've actually never eaten there either, I'm definitely going to be trying the chicken in October, and am debating going their for the character breakfast.
Originally Posted By utahjosh I can't do Disneyland without a Chicken Dinner at the Plaza Inn. Great taste, big portions. We love it.
Originally Posted By LuvsDsnyTrips IMO....Knott's chicken does not come close to Pkaza's..... You can easily share an adult dinner there of the chicken
Originally Posted By familyguy I will do Plaza Inn this time for sure. Yes, CC, you GOTTA do Flo's! That's our must do on every trip since it's been there!
Originally Posted By berol I had Knotts chicken twice last month. The first time was in my hotel room and it had cooled too much to review it properly. The 2nd time was eaten ASAP and it was just ok. I've heard it isn't what it used to be. I believe it.
Originally Posted By Princessjenn5795 I love the chicken at Plaza Inn, and the portions are so gigantic that my husband and I split our meals with the kids. We make sure to eat there every trip.
Originally Posted By Princessjenn5795 "Gotta do Plaza Inn and Flo's this time!" Yes you do! I love the chicken tamale breakfast at Flo's and Plaza breakfast and chicken are really good too.
Originally Posted By Mickeymouseclub I loved the chicken tamale breakfast too. I thought Flo's was not open for breakfast anymore. Better double-check. Maybe it depends on time of year. It is a great place to dine with view of RS (Carsland) morning noon or night.
Originally Posted By LuvsDsnyTrips 3 weeks ago...Flo's was closed for breakfast....but, they told us that due to customer requests ...they were bringing it back We always have at least one lunch there and I think their breakfast are a good deal also

Originally Posted By CuriousConstance Have you done Goofy's Kitchen, Deb? Just curious how the two compare. Cause we like Goofy's a lot.
Originally Posted By familyguy I should add that We've done the Character Breakfast at Paradise Pier Hotel - I think it was a Lilo and Stitch breakfast when we went...I think it's changed now. Anyway, that one was really fun for the kids. Probably not as good for adults without kids.
