We stopped at Granzella’s a Wednesday in November 2009 during a road
\ntrip up north to visit my in-laws. The large signs by the freeway did
\nnot necessarily convince us we’d find good food, but we thought the
\nplace was worth a try. It was, but next time I’d probably try a
\ndifferent restaurant.
\nGranzella’s is as much a travel center as a restaurant, in the style of
\nHarris Ranch<\/a> on I-5 heading south. There is a casual restaurant, a deli
\ncounter, a coffee\/gelato counter and a store selling a variety of
\ngourmet foods and drinks and cute knickknacks. Apparently there is also
\na hotel associated with it. Unlike Harris Ranch, there is no stench of
\ncow poop around it.
\nThe kids wanted to eat in the restaurant rather than the deli so that’s where we headed. The
\nplace has a cabin feel, with lots of wood, but the assorted decorations
\nare somewhat mismatched. The restaurant is pretty dark and not terribly
\ninviting.
\nThe menu offers your typical family restaurant\/coffeeshop fare. There
\nare burgers and sandwiches as well as pizza. I thought the prices ($9
\nfor a plain cheeseburger) were a bit steep for this kind of restaurant
\n(and the quality of the food). There is a kids menu with your usual
\nchoices for about $5; a soda or whole milk is included.
\nI had the bacon cheeseburger ($10), cooked medium rare as ordered. The
\nburger itself was probably fine, but it was served with so much yellow
\nmustard that it was impossible to taste anything else. I was not
\nimpressed. The fries were average. Camila had the mac & cheese and it
\nmust have been good as she ate the whole plate (not overly large). Mika
\nordered the nachos, thinking it was the tortilla chip and cheese-whiz
\nconcoction that she apparently gets at school, but refused to eat them
\nwhen she realized they had beans and not much on the way of cheese.
\nMike had them later and thought they were mediocre. Both kids had hot
\nfudge sundaes ($2:50 each, I think), which they did enjoy. In all, I
\nthought the meal wasn’t worth the $36 it came to after tax and tip.
\nI took a look at the cafe, deli and store and, as you may suspect, it
\nwas grossly overpriced. I think 20oz cokes were about $2.25. Still,
\nsome of their stuff is very cute and it may be worth a quick stop just
\nto browse.
