Friendly girl took our order. She didn't hesitate to tell me exactly what was in the burger. The fries are amazing. I usually have to have ketchup but their fries were hot with enough salt and crispy n soo good. The burger is nothing special but it is good & moist. One thing we noticed-the paddy covered all of the bun. Some place have a surplus of bread. The service is fast. The outside looked too sunny (mid Aug 100+)no shade of any kind.

The other location in Buellton closed a while ago so I think this maybe the only one left. Could be the original but I'm not sure. Just off the 5 heading north. We stopped by for a quick bite before heading back on the road. Mid week which wasn't that busy. It's been so long ago that I didn't remember what the inside looked like. As we had our little pup with us, they were able to accommodate us. There's three entrance from the front area. Main being the one that leads you to the restaurant. Another is from the gift shop side and we also noticed people coming in from the side of the bar. One side is the restaurant which we looked at but ended up at the bar section. Which happened to be happy hour happening. Didn't know they had that to offer. Bar area was pretty quiet when we were there but it did pick up. There's also patio seating right outside there. Main menu pretty much has as everything but we just opted for some happy hour bites for now. Drink special was offered both for draft and bottle as well as cocktails and wine. Food menu, they were limited on that but the usual were offered. Both cup or bowl of the famous soup was available. Half order of the potatoes skin, onion rings and wings were available as well as the quesadillas. Soup was decent but could have been hotter. Onion rings, and the wings were ok. Good nothing major to rave about. Both served with ranch sauce. I also picked up some dessert from the counter which looked great. Happy hour items were decent for the price. The service for the whole place was great. All The staff and waitress were very friendly and helpful. Our waitress who was also the bartender was a major doll. She was very sweet. As well as all the ladies on the restaurant side. Very accommodating to us. Overall, it was a cute stop off for a quick bite. Cute gift shop that's worth a wandering around. Plenty of parking available.

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.

They have a lovely outdoor area perfect for watching the sunset and gazing into the lush greenery that surrounds the restaurant. We sat inside and the decor gave a homey, almost hole-in-the-wall vibe. There's nothing particularly fancy about the interior of the restaurant, but every member of the staff makes you feel like a guest at their table. We started off with a cold bottle of sauvignon blanc and tried a few appetizers: the bruschetta, mac and cheese, and steak bites. Everything was flavorful and cooked to perfection! Steaks are their specialty at The Grove and are procured from a local cattle rancher. Each piece is specially hand-cut. My husband and I each had the ribeye special and it didn't disappoint. The portions were huge and we could have easily shared a plate. Their menu overall is extensive and has something for everyone - lamb, steak, chicken, fish. We had a great time, enjoyed the amazing hospitality, and can't wait to come back!

I went for the blueberry pancakes, and wow: they were enormous, fluffy, packed with real blueberries, and basically the perfect pre-hike fuel. And the coffee? Amazing, as always. I meant to take a picture of my food, but honestly I accidentally didn't--because everything looked so good that I dug in immediately. And even without the photo evidence, the presentation and plating were incredible, just like they always are. This place has my heart. I'd give it a hundred stars if I could--highly, highly recommend.

The chips and salsa they served were really good! The salsa was especially really tasty with a little kick to it, but very nice flavor. I got a shrimp ceviche tostada and a wet burrito. The tostada was piled high! So much ceviche I expected it to be much smaller lol. Very delicious with the avocado slices on top and the selection of hot sauces they brought for the seafood was a nice touch and introduced me to a new hot sauce that is made for seafood! The wet burrito I ate less than half because I was so full from that tostada lol. But the wet burrito was also very tasty. It was a wet, super burrito so it had the sauce on top with sour cream, guac, and cheese on top. I chose the green salsa on top And it basically tasted like enchilada sauce- in a very good way. Just tons of flavor and I'm excited to finish the rest later lol. My grandpa got the tacos gobernador with asada and he really liked them although he could only finish two out of three. He also really liked the salsa that came with the chips. And my grandma had the huarache and she really enjoyed it and it was also too much for her lol. The servings are filling and the prices are definitely fair. Definitely recommend P.s. we also bought a tub of the salsa and bags of chips to take home they were so good! Para los hispanohablantes nomas para que sepan que la comida de aquí es riquísima y los precios justos. Solo caminando del carro al restaurante podríamos oler la comida desde afuera y olía bien rica. Al principio comimos de los totopos y salsa de mesa y nos encantamos de la salsa. Era muy sabrosa con perfecto nivel de pico que no parábamos de comer. Yo probé una tostada de ceviche de camarón y un burrito mojado de camarón. Primero me trajeron la tostada y tenía una montaña de ceviche! Cuando acabé la tostada ya casi no pude comer más pero quise probar el burrito mojado y también salió riquísimo como lo ordené "super" con crema, guacamole, y queso. Mi abuelito ordenó tacos gobernador y les gustó aunque solo pudo acabarse dos de los tres de la orden. Mi abuelita ordenó un huarache y era tan grande que hasta la mesera bromeó que otras lo han llamado una bota, que no es huarache jeje. Todos salimos llenos, con comida para comer más al rato, y nos gustaron tanta los totopos y salsa que ordenamos más para llevar a la casa. Les recomiendo a probar la comida aquí, y buen provecho!
