Visited August 9 2026. See 2 receipts for sandwiches to go ( not including breakfast my sister bought) My big sister met up with me in Williams after attending the Masters Invitational in Natomas this week. They treated me to breakfast. Got the usual smaller breakfast. She got an omelet with spinach. Service was extremely slow for some reason which is very unusual. Food was good and we were both happy. Haven't seen my sister in a few years because she lives in Southern California. We parted ways..she was headed to Calistoga and I am heading the other way. Good time! Btw..I Had no idea they serve brunch on the weekends!! read more

On a road trip up north, and we needed a place to stop and EV charge. The Tesla chargers are right across from this quaint Italian restaurant/deli/snack shop and more. This place has it all. You walk in and to your right are 200 plus beers to choose from. On your left is a sit-down restaurant. Further down is a deli counter, a bakery, gelato, and all kinds of local honey, olives, pasta, spices, you name it, and a gift shop. The bathrooms are clean and large enough to accommodate a large amount of people at one time. We decided to taste the gelato while waiting for our car to charge since we already had lunch, but looking at the fact that they make their own sourdough a sandwich would be a great choice for future stops. The gelato is made in house, and I had a lemon which was light and refreshing. My husband had the dark chocolate gelato. He said it didn't have a heavy milk based taste and not really creamy but very chocolaty. The server for the gelato was very friendly and let me taste first. I would stop here again even if I didn't have an EV car to charge. read more

Had my first muffuletta at Granzella's. I ordered mine warm from the deli counter inside (vs the restaurant). There are picnic tables outside for you to enjoy your sandwiches (super convenient if you're swinging by for a pit stop). Inside, there are rows of hot sauces, olives, beverages, and other snacks if you'd like to pick up some goodies. There's even a jelly belly dispensing machine and next to the deli counter is an ice cream counter. Going back to the sandwich, :), the "new orleans muffuletta" is olive forward, so if you like intense flavors, this is the sandwich for you. I like olives and i found the sandwich tasty. read more

Granzella's Restaurant - Jars of olives and muffulettas - Italian Near Me - Williams, California

10 out of 10. First time customer driving back to LA and stopped in not knowing what to expect. First of all the old timey atmosphere itself was amazing and so cosy. I loved all the preserve, jam, pickle and pesto jars and the homemade candy and pies, but the deli sandwich counter truly takes the cake. I bought a turkey and cheese on marbled rye with all the trimmings and it's honestly the best 15 dollars I've ever spent. I'm not really a sandwich guy but this place converted me. Very friendly and efficient employees as well. Don't miss this beautiful hidden gem. read more

Came here at about 2pm on a Friday, driving back from OR to Sacto. This place was packed! Thankfully we decided to sit in the bar area, which we loved. Waitress was friendly and attentive, we decided to get cheese burgers. Call me old, but last time I came here many many years ago, I believe the patties were frozen. NOT these 1/2 lb patties, these were not frozen, they were very very good burgers, nice pleasant surprise. Ambiance was pretty cool, seeing all the animals stuffed on the walls, some taxidermist got rich they have so many! lol Will definitely be back, food and service was very good. read more

Stumbled on this spot in Williams and it definitely has a memorable vibe. The decor is hard to miss with mounted animals all over the walls and even hanging from the ceiling, giving it a rustic, old-school steakhouse feel that makes the experience stand out. This is the place to come for steaks and drinks. The beer flight was a great way to try a variety and was easily one of the highlights. The lemoncello martini leans very sweet, almost like a sugar bomb, so it really depends on your preference. Food-wise, stick to what they do best. The steaks are solid, and this is absolutely a spot to order the prime rib, especially if you catch the Saturday special. On the other hand, the shrimp scampi was underwhelming and pretty basic, with shrimp that could have used more seasoning. Do not skip the gelato counter. The pistachio and peanut butter gelato are a must. Overall, a fun, casual spot with a unique atmosphere. Come for the steaks and beer, skip the seafood pasta and save room for gelato. read more

This is officially one of my favorite road trip stops now. I'm so glad we stumbled upon this place. The epitome of a one-stop shop: walk in and there's an Italian sit-down restaurant to your left, and to your right is probably one of the largest beer selections I've ever seen (outside of an actual liquor store). Keep going and you'll find a sandwich counter on one side and a gift shop full of knickknacks on the other. Beyond that? An ice cream and dessert/pastry counter, plus shelf after shelf of edible gifts: uncooked pastas, sauces, jams, cheeses... the list goes on. I thought the bathrooms were all the way in the back... but then I discovered that there's an entire PIZZERIA AND PUB back there too! SAY WHAT?! Any way, I was really grateful for Granzella's because I found some excellent gifts there! read more

Hey there party people Wandering around California again seeing the sites. Traveling up interstate 5 can be mind numbing so it's good to make stops along the way. If you pass by Granzella's Restaurant and Deli then you have missed a gem. They have the most amazing selection of olives and oils as well as deli meats. The real claim to fame here is the homemade Sourdough bread 5 Stars We decided to eat in their Restaurant this time around. We had the Mediterranean Pizza. If you would have told me you were going to put Blue Cheese, basalmic vinegar, artichoke hearts and prosciutto on a pizza I would say you were nuts. But holy smokes it so works and was awesome. They make the dough for the pizza from their sourdough starter....awesome I had the turkey melt. It was a good sandwich. However the turkey read a little dry. Hubby had the Impossible Burger. The taste and texture were on target, making you forget it wasn't real meat. Also these are the cleanest bathroom you are ever going to find and you don't have to buy anything to use them. They also have an adorable gift shop with a great assortment of potential gifts. This place has something for everyone. Be kind to one another read more

This is only a review of the gift shop as we didn't eat in the restaurant. We saw their billboard from I5 on the way to Washington and I LOVE pickles and had a gut feeling I would find pickles here. I was right! This little gift shop not only has a large pickle section but it also has all kinds of pretty little treasures for your home and heart. They also have a deli counter that I assume is for take out orders. I ended up buying my favorite Fosters brand pickled asparagus and a jar of Granzella's marinated mushrooms which I can't wait to open once I get home. We will definitely be stopping by here every time we drive north in the future! read more

Highly recommended, if you're in the area or coming through, so yourself a favor and experience something that is one of a kind, built on love and hard work over generations. read more

Last time I came here was about 15 years ago. I've been talking about this place since then. I got to finally make my way here while doing a road trip and was very excited to see that this place is still as amazing as how I remembered it. My family and I got some sandwiches, snacks, pickled olives and some bakery items. Everything was amazing! read more

Charging station available across the street from restaurant. read more

Highly over rated. Food was bland. Not sure how you can mess up tuna salad sandwich and fish and chips! Both were very mushy. They managed to get the french fries right though. Music was way too loud! read more

Went there today, August 6, 2026. The food was good. While we were there a man came in with a dog without a service animal vest on or anything that would identify the dog as a service dog. When we went to the cashier to pay she said that she couldn't take cash, only our waitress could, but our waitress was on a break and she still couldn't take it, because the tills wouldn't match. Never heard of that before. We left the money with the cashier and asked her to give it to our waitress. read more

My guy had eaten here years ago and was excited about returning. Unfortunately we didn't care for the food much and were disappointed to be honest. We stopped in on a Sunday afternoon and were able to get a seat right away. Our server arrived quickly and brought us our drinks, took our orders. My guy ordered the tri-tip surf and turf, cooked medium rare, spaghetti as a side option and a bowl of chili for an upcharge instead of their house soups. I ordered the tri-tip steak cobb salad. The food came out pretty quickly, looked good, but neither of our steak had any flavor and was drryyy. Both our steaks were overcooked and chewy. We wanted to get back on the road so didn't feel like sending the food back. Overall nothing we had tasted good. The chili was meh, very meaty, same for the spaghetti where the sauce was off, lacked flavor. Neither one of us ate half our meals. The only thing we liked honestly were our draft beers, I think we both ordered an IPA. The ambiance was cool with all the taxidermy and sporty decor, the service wasn't slow, and the store area where you can purchase goods made by Granzella's had a variety of items, but the food was a no go for us. If we were passing through again and wanted a drink or app would maybe try it again but is unlikely. read more

We flew into Sacramento and were making our way up to Eureka when hunger hit. We had seen several billboards for Granzella's along the way and decided to pull off... and we are glad we did. This place has real character. The atmosphere is true western saloon... taxidermied heads covering the walls, the whole thing. It is the kind of stop that reminds you why road trips are worth taking the scenic route. What makes it especially convenient is that there is a full restaurant if you have time to sit, but there is also a deli and store if you are on the go. We sat down and had a flatbread pizza in the restaurant, then stopped at the deli on the way out and grabbed Italian cookies for the road. The flatbread pizza was not the best, but exactly what we needed in that moment, and the cookies satisfied our sweet tooth. If you are driving through Williams on I-5 trust the billboards on this one. It is a worthy stop. read more

Met with family driving down south from Northern California. Linda was our server. Food was plentiful & adult beverages always taste refreshing after a long drive. For those who live in the Central Coast/Valley Granzella's Restaurant is definitely the "one stop" shop on your next I5 road trip. Scampi with salad was plenty to eat & leftovers for dinner. Definitely compares to Casa de Fruita for providing the "welcome to our city" ambiance. read more

Decent but terribly generic and overpriced. I went while passing by because I'd heard of granzellas restaurant store and deli. It's fun to look around but things are overpriced. You pay LA prices while they pay rural rents. Spend your money elsewhere for this generic stuff! Sandwiches are generic and salty. read more

Decided to eat here because it's near a supercharger and looked kinda cool. I didn't have a bad experience by any means, but the food is borderline inedible. I ordered the chicken pesto flatbread and it was essentially a pile of mush. It was also larger than the plate, making it difficult to eat. I think if it was 25% smaller and had half as much cheese/toppings and more pesto, it would have been great. But it just tasted a bit undercooked and lacking in flavor. Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing but I can't imagine anything else actually being amazing here :/ The posters for sale in the back of the restaurant are also kinda disturbing if I'm being honest. read more

5-stars for the deli! Yum yum! My friends and I flew into Sacramento and were recommended to stop here for lunch by one of the employees at our car rental spot. We each built our own sandwiches and they were loaded and delicious, all of us full after half, saved well too! We talked about it multiple times on our trip and decided that we had to go on our way back to the airport as well. The line was long, as seen in the photo, but it moved super quick and I got the meatball sub this time which I absolutely recommend! read more

To echo another reviewer mentioning the "Big Tom" sandwich needing to be renamed the "Little Tom", we stop here every 2-4 months and we are also noticing the sandwiches being skimpy these days. My family normally loves the sandwiches, and the deli has been our go-to when we are passing through, but I think this is the last time. And while I'm here....I wouldn't mention it otherwise but my go-to is always the salads, but my last 3 visits they haven't been thoroughly chopped. I chocked it up to just being a fluke thing or a bad/busy day, but this is the 3rd time, and today it wasn't even busy in there. So. We just spent $18 on two completely plain burger patties at the restaurant for one family member, and then got a few jars of olives, 2 Big Toms and a Salad Special and spent $118 on that. If we aren't stopping for sandwiches on future trips, we won't be buying olives etc as often either unfortunately. Seeing on here someone complained about this same sandwich being skimpy 3 months ago and now having the same experience, I really hope they change this in the future, as well as the care put into the delicious salad special. read more

We stopped in for a sandwich and checked out the decor and awesome store! My honey loves boysenberry syrup and we were searching for it! BlackBerry syrup was the closest we could come and he has been loving it! Must go back for more! Sandwiches: Meatball - was delicious but might have fennel in it and they couldn't tell us but it upset our bellies just a little. My honey is not good with fennel and that's what I'm thinking the ingredient was that he couldn't handle. Tasted great though and was recommended by several of the staff. The godfather? Or the one that's loaded with meats is what I got and I loved it! The bread was awesome and fresh and so were the flavors. I enjoyed it for two meals and would recommend it to anyone! I'm sure the rest of the sandwiches are great and we will be back to try more! The restaurant looked amazing we pepped at plates as we walked in and out and are definitely going back to try some good eats! Love the decor - fun spot for sure! read more

The food was better than truck stop food but could be much better. In all fairness I shouldn't have ordered the fried seafood platter at a place like this. The spaghetti and muffaletta was good though. The staff is nice and attentive. There's people here complaining about MAGA items but there's no MAGA things here. There's some 2ND Amendment things, military things and pleasant pictures throughout which are great. The bar is nice except I don't like drinking around a hundred taxidermied animals on display. This place has a lot to offer and it was a blessing to find it while on an extremely long drive. read more

Stopped at the deli and got a sandwich to split for a snack. Over $16! It was ok but not worth the money to us. They were busy as usual so I guess there are plenty of people willing to pay it so more power to them. I can't imagine what it would've cost for lunch if we both got a sandwich a side and a drink. read more

I love this spot and find its the perfect stopping point when headed up to Redding from Sacramento. There is a shop in the front for lots of household goods and bar and restaurant attached. The place is has always been packed in the store no matter what time I have been there but the line goes quick. You can buy a single can of fancy beer or a cup of ice cream. There are pickles and wine, so many interesting things. In the restaurant there are huge taxidermy bears and mounted game. If that freaks you out, best not to go in. Clean bathrooms, outside seating, random range of items, and a cool bar and restaurant if you are in need. read more

We needed to charge our EV and were directed here both ways if our trip. We did t have time to try the restaurant but enjoyed the deli and specialty market. There are many unique vendors and food items sold. The downside is the price point--high, which is why I gave the star rating that I did. read more

Granzella's was a great stop on the I-5! They have a huge assortment of pickled items that were very fun to look at along with many other items. We bought a jar of candied jalapeños, pickled carrots, and garlic and jalapeño stuffed olives. All of them were amazing! Will definitely come back to try the pickled eggs and marinated peppers. We got sandwiches at the deli and both ordered the Big Tom which comes with a side of Mac salad, potato salad, soup, or chips. We chose the Mac salad and potato salad. Both were good, nothing too special. The sandwiches were also good, but again, nothing crazy. They almost forgot our salads and had to remind them, but no big deal. Overall, a good stop to grab a quick sandwich. But, the star of the show was the grocery area! They also have a restaurant and a bar/lounge. We didn't go into the bar, but I walked past and it was huge and packed on a Saturday night! Looked fun! read more

Ordered gnocchi for the first time. Delicious! Very generous serving. Ordered to go as I'm driving the next three hours. Meal included choice of soup, minestrone and garlic bread. They offered crackers for the soup. The place is amazing. They have a separate deli as well as a sports bar, where you can also dine in. Very clean, and a bit fancy.

First time there. Food was good and service was excellent. However I thought it was very pricy!

No reason to eat here unless charging Tesla. Gross food, not friendly staff, bland boomer food. Place your grandparents would like

What a hidden gem along the route! I never been here but now it's going to be a stop for me! All the taxidermy animals are so awesome! They even have a lion!!! So amazing to see this place. They have a New Orleans style muffalotta and olive spread that is just great. The service is friendly and choices they have on the menu are a large variety. I had a crispy chicken salad with honey mustard and the dressing was excellent. One funny thing i noticed though is he servers don't carry plates to tables, they push them on a cart... even if it's one dish! Didn't make a difference but was an interesting observation. This is a stop for animal lovers that want to see well preserved specimens of so many different animals. So cool!! read more

Prime rib came before soup before appetizers. All food was awful. The poor waiter was so defeated. "No manager ". Put the waiter in charge.
