We have been up and down I-5 countless times, but had never stopped in at Pea Soup Andersens. This past summer, we finally tried the food at this iconic road stop.
Not many restaurants can say that they have been around for close to 100 years!
Of course, we had to try the famous pea soup in a bread bowl. I liked how the toppings came separately so you could customize your own bowl. We all enjoyed this.
I also wanted to try the Monte Cristo sandwich. I think the only other place that I have ordered this is at Disneyland. I would definitely suggest splitting this entrée with others, as it is decadent. The raspberry jam provides a nice sweet counterpoint to the ham/cheese.
D ordered the club sandwich, was pretty good as club sandwiches go. Even though D was skeptical about only ordering two entrees and a soup, it turned out that it was plenty to sustain the four of us on the rest of our trip up the I-5.
