Traveller's Special (All You Can Eat) | $4.95 |
* * * | * * * |
For some reason, the coffee shop was really packed, so we went into the restaurant ("same menu, same price"). The waitresses were all wearing slightly (well, actually, very) tacky German-mountain folk dresses, and the waiters wore tuxedo-black suits. We all gazed at the menu, but instead of being adventurous and trying an ostrich burger, we all four opted for the Anderson's Pea Soup Traveller's Special - fresh bread, drink, and all-you-can-eat soup. We all ordered milkshakes (though not exactly what we expected - more McDonald's style, the strawberry was excessively pink!) The soup hit the spot! It had a vastly different effect on each of us. The largest in our group could manage only one bowl, the petite ladies in our party managed nearly two, and I managed three, though I felt a little heavy and bloated afterwards, but, oh, so sated. The service was pretty fast, though the waiter lapsed a little in bringing all four milkshakes and was sometimes a little inattentive in bringing the soup.
It was a very satisfying (inexpensive) meal while travelling, though I'm not sure if I would recommend trying anything but the soup. The prices seemed to shoot up for much of anything else. On the other hand, there isn't much in Santa Nella or on I-5 for that matter, so of all the restaurants in Santa Nella, I wholeheartedly recommend Anderson's Pea Soup.
