The Pea Soup Anderson’s location on the I-5 in Santa Nella remains open.
Only one left: Santa Nella’s Pea Soup Andersen’s stands as final location of California landmark brand
The Santa Nella location, which opened in 1976, sits along Interstate 5 and has long served as a major stop for travelers moving between Northern and Southern California. Positioned near the Highway 33 interchange, the site was built to capture heavy freeway traffic and has remained a consistent stop for decades, particularly for drivers, families, and commercial traffic traveling the I-5 corridor.
Over the years, the location became known not just for its signature split pea soup, but as a recognizable roadside landmark in the Central Valley. Unlike the Buellton site, which relied heavily on tourism along Highway 101, the Santa Nella restaurant has remained tied to steady freeway traffic, helping sustain its operation even as other locations closed.
So the one near the Bay Area is still trucking.
