I spoke with one of the leads of Knott's Berry Farm's catering staff and they said that all of the restaurants and stands in the park have alternative menus for people with dietary restrictions and allergies. Check with each restaurant and notify staff to any allergies before ordering and they will happily accommodate you! I had no problem sticking to my keto diet while I was at the park.
