The most popular dish is the Applewood Stuffed Pork Chop, so make sure to give it a try! Three days are spent brining the pork, and then it is stuffed with the apple pecan stuffing, for an amazing bite every time! If you are more of a seafood lover, order the Rajun Cajun Pacific Salmon, served with Tiger Shrimp and fresh herbs.

Amber Waves is also fantastic in the meat department; they put a twist on ordering and preparing steaks. They have a three-step process in ordering: first, choose the exact type of steak you want, then choose the temperature at which it is grilled, and finally, choose the flavor added to the steak. The choices range from tomato garlic butter, mushroom merlot, brandy peppercorn, and more!

Also available is the “All You Can Eat BBQ Buffet” on Friday and Saturday nights-which includes ribs and tri-tip. But, the regular menu at Amber Waves really kept me intrigued. For dessert, you must order Mrs. Knott’s famous Boysenberry pie-and get one to go too!

Overall, the atmosphere is cozy, with a great ambiance, including an open kitchen and wood fire stove.  This really is a great family place, and Snoopy even comes to your table to visit! Check it out for yourself; maybe you will have a new favorite restaurant!

Amber Waves is located at 7675 Crescent Avenue in Buena Park, just west of Beach Boulevard inside the Knott’s Resort Hotel; no admission to Knott’s is required and parking is also free.
