Pea Soup Andersen's is a restaurant in Santa Nella, California that primarily serves travelers. It was formerly a chain, with previous locations along other major travel highways in California. The original Pea Soup Andersen's opened in Buellton in 1924. The Santa Nella restaurant then opened in 1976 as its second location. Other locations that operated in the 1980s included Carlsbad, Mammoth Lakes, and Selma. The Buellton location closed in January 2024 for redevelopment, leaving the Santa Nella restaurant as the only Pea Soup Andersen's location currently open.^[1] While it is best known for their pea soup, the restaurant serves complete home-style meals. The location also includes a bakery and gift shop and has an associated hotel on the property. The restaurant also markets a line of canned soups.
