<p>Going back to its origins in 1976, David L. Brown, California&#8217;s Great America (then Marriott) vice president named the traditional fried chicken dinner restaurant after his wife, Maggie Brown. Soon, the original recipe fried chicken became a signature attraction in itself for guests visiting California&#8217;s Great America.</p>
<p>Today, Maggie Brown&#8217;s Famous Fried Chicken Restaurant goes by <a href="http://cpfoodblog.com/park-food-guides/californias-great-america-food/maggies-smokehouse-and-fried-chicken/">Maggie&#8217;s Smokehouse and Fried Chicken</a> and offers a variety of home cooked meals for guests. </p>
<p>The fried chicken is marinated before being hand-battered and fried golden brown. </p>
<p>Today guests get the choice of 2 side dishes with their entree platter including Maggie’s Potato Salad, Sidewinder Fries, White Cheddar Mac &#038; Cheese, and Smokehouse Beans.</p>
