My plate had a Fresh side of veggies and homemade gravy. Large portions, I couldn't finish my food. Cute souvenir shop, you can even buy cans of Andersen pea soup.

With as many signs on the freeways as Andersen's has in California promoting their famous split pea…read moresoup, one would think they would be prevalent everywhere. In reality, there are/were only two: the original location (and now closed since 2024) in Buellton and this location in Santa Nella. It turned out that we needed to take a break and gas up around lunchtime very close by, so decided to stop in for lunch. It ended up being OK. This second location has been open since 1976 and is located in a huge building with tons of seating and a large retail space. It has a separate downstairs dining room (available if your party is large), a large bar in the back (open during lunch though only one person was in there), and an upstairs not accessible during lunchtime. We came at exactly 11:00 and they had begun serving lunch. We were led to our seats, and someone came by with water. There seemed to be some confusion on who was supposed to serve us, and we were ignored for a while, even as other folks were being seated. Finally, a waitress came back (guessing she wasn't our original one, but had to pivot) and took our order. Not particularly friendly in the beginning (ended up being talkative at the end as my wife had struck up a conversation), but got our order correct. The food came out soon after, and it was served all together and was still warm when we got them. My wife and I have been to the Andersen's in Buellton and had slightly different memories of how good the split pea soup was. We ordered a cup ($6.99), and didn't even have to tell the waitress what kind of soup we wanted. The soup was good for the first couple spoonful, but didn't end up finishing it; glad we ordered a small cup. My wife and her mom split a Teriyaki Chicken dinner ($21.50) and they liked it: nothing fancy, just one chicken breast grilled and topped with bottled teriyaki sauce and a pineapple slice. I got the Danish Style Meatloaf ($21.99, was planning to share with my wife) and it seemed well made with generous portions, but neither of us liked it (the pork/beef mixture with breadcrumbs was very finely ground and reminded me of a mealy German sausage without the casing). Both the soup and meatloaf would have been good as small samples from a buffet while grazing, but are difficult as a main course for our taste. Both plates came with a from-frozen vegetable medley (broccoli, carrots, and zucchini), along with a rice pilaf for the chicken plate. We did buy some trinkets at the gift shop. I wanted to get a Danish, but ended up sharing a Cinnamon Crisp, a giant cookie covered in cinnamon sugar. It was really good, definitely worth the $5.50 price.

About 10 chargers off the 5 freeway in Gustine (Santa Nella) next to the Pea Soup Anderson's. Fast…read morecharging and Pea Soup are a match made in Heaven! :)

If you're charging a Tesla, this is a nice and convenient location, right behind Anderson's. But…read morewe're Ford Mach-E drivers, and unfortunately this location isn't one that participates in the co-op that allows other brands to charge here. Unfortunate, because it's the premier stop in Santa Nella. Don't know if it's a Tesla thing or an Anderson's thing, but someone should opt in so other brands can enjoy the convenience too.

First time charging at this location and it was a good experience. They have tons of chargers, so…read moreyou are able to space out pretty well, atleast during our visit. We checked out the vending machine room and walked right out. It wasn't anything we needed, and I'm not fond of not knowing prices upfront. The women's bathroom seemed clean, but it was hot when I went in. I noticed lots of people not knowing how to get in without the code, but I guess that's a learning curve for most people. They had some cute little benches to hang out on, but not something we would use. I would rather sit in my a/c in the car than sit in direct sunlight.

An entire row of chargers at the front are now functioning, compared to when we were here a year(or…read moremore) ago. Well-lit and clean area with garbage cans. Also there were picnic tables that are not available at other charging stations. I wish there was a "standard." Gas station and Harris Ranch are walking distance too where you can buy food. They are expensive restaurant style food. But our kids wanted fast food so we bought food from the other side of the exit, before parking to charge. Note: Tesla etiquette: do not park beside a charging car, especially when you have plenty of choice to separate, go to the next set of number. This way you don't slow down the charge by splitting the power. Ex. 1A,1B,1C, 2A, 2B, 2C

Review for the resort and the restaurant incoming!…read more Stayed with the family for a night on our way to Southern California as we were in need of respite after crushing Bay Area traffic. The room was very clean, and solidly appointed for the price (under $200 with AAA discount). In the morning we took a swim in their gorgeous swimming pool. It was an early morning because he had to get back on the road. But, if I were to linger it would be right next to that pool or that awesome horse shoe bar across the lot at the restaurant. Breakfast was awesome. I had the country fried steak and eggs. It was a very tender piece of tenderized steak and the gravy was lights out $29.95. Kids had the "little cowpoke" which was a pancake, bacon slice and an egg for $8.95. The pancake was tasty and the bacon was a large cut (I had to get my Dad tax in). Only downside was the avocado toast (but who would order that at a roadside cow restaurant?) My wife would! HA! It was $18.95 and she felt like she was being punished as it was just a single slice of bread with avocado and two poached eggs. She was really hoping for a larger portion for the price. Overall, it was a really solid 5/5 experience. We left something in the room accidentally and the front desk called us before we even noticed. They said they'd take care of it and we will cruise by on the way home to grab it. Really awesome customer service. For a resort in the middle of nowhere I get no real complaints. I mean it smells like poop outside but there's like a million head of cattle down the road so that makes sense. Also, no foul smells in the hotel or restaurant. They do a good job keeping it out.
