I have come here many times in my life. As a kid my parents would take us here to eat and even my grandparents and other relatives would meet us here. Itook my wife here on our honeymoon and my best friend and his wife had their reception here. I an writing this review in the hopes it will inspire some one to get it running again. The soup was great. The burgers good. The service was great back in the day. Supposedly the upstairs dining area is haunted. They used to be famous enough for the split pea soup to be sold in cans in markets all over the state. You can find a PSA in Santa Nella on the 5 if you want it give them a try and I highly recommend it. Please bring it back.

It's soup season!!! Had to make a stop while on our little road trip. I love historic, quirky restaurants and this one delivers. The atmosphere, service and food was great. Except for the chilli :( do not try... It really tasted bland, yet expired. But other than that a fun, family lunch was enjoyed.

Walking in looks a bit like an abandoned restaurant so it could benefit from a renovation. The food was amazing though, I had the Monte Cristo and I highly recommend as others did. We also had the chicken pot pie which was great and a BLT. I'm not a split pea soup fan but of course had to try here and it is good. Our waiter was delightful and there was no wait to get seated. Oh and milkshake was so worth it!

Pea soup was good. Bread and bakery great! The meatloaf was horrible-not sure if it was that day or what. It was swimming in gravy and it didnt taste like meat. It was gummy and bread like as if too much filler was used. Other items were okay. If you are into pea soup, it's a must stop location!

I have been to Split Pea many times over the last 35 years when traveling up to my grandparents place and the food is good I always get the split pea bread bowl. Although my son and my dad wanted the fried chicken this time and they said it would be like 25 minutes and we weren't wanting to wait that long. I notice each time we have stopped over the last 3 years that things have started changing a bit each time.

It's seriously like stepping back in time, such a cool spot/experience. The restaurant hosts a travel store, bakery, and the town's historic society. You get to learn about the significant history of this Pea Soup destination, and the highway it used to rely on, long before you even sit down to have your meal. The dining room looks like it hasn't changed in 50 years, and playing music just as old it's a pretty fun vibe that augments the experience. I got the travelers special with unlimited pea soup, bread, and a shake. My first time eating split pea soup and I absolutely loved it! Very filling, especially after a few bowls, and the shake was delicious as well. My partner's fish and chips was an amazing portion, just know it won't travel well if you aren't ready to eat it all right there. Prices have definitely changed a lot over the years... That's my only ding of a star - they aren't outlandish, but a bit more than you'd hope for an old timey roadside cafe.

I have always loved Andersen's Pea Soup! Even as a kid I loved it! It was fun visiting, since I hadn't been there in over 40 years, and taking pictures of the novelty signs on the outside! The food is delicious! We ordered traditional pea soup with cheese toast. In the gift shop, they had some sample cheese and onion toast with cheese spread which was absolutely delicious! Of course we bought some to take home. We also browsed through the gift shop and bought some cans of the pea soup and some Andersen's seasoning, to take home as well. It wasn't very crowded, for a summer day, mid week, so we didn't have to wait long. Everyone was friendly and inviting except for our waitress who was NOT friendly and in fact seemed to not enjoy her job at all... that was the only downside. Overall, we enjoyed our visit and of course the food. I definitely recommend you visit and don't forget to bring home some cans of traditional Andersen's Pea Soup!
