Granzella’s has been serving the public since 1976 and provides an experience like no other. With its old world charm, every department has a unique piece of history and comforting inviting atmosphere.
The family restaurant was recently featured on the Food Network’s Triple D Nation series featuring Guy Fieri.
This old-world joint & deli decorated with taxidermy offers American fare, pizzas & homemade wines.

The best tourist trap you’ll find off the freeway for miles around. It’s really a must stop for all travelers and locals alike. This place has all you need, if you are looking for a high end delicatessen with the best deli sandwiches made with a really good choice of meats and cheese. In the store area, you will find jars and jars of locally grown olives as well as imported ones too. They used to have a free sample area but that is gone now. It’s worth the stop if you got the cash.

Stopped by for breakfast and got a nicer experience than expected.
This place is a gift shop, Bar, liquor store & restaurant, deli, & memorabilia shop all wrapped up into one thing. The breakfast i had was delicious the hand made drop biscuits and gravy were hearty and buttery. My GF got the chorizo burrito and it’s very good but not spicy enough for my taste. I was expecting a rest stop but got a lot more than that forsure. The staff was extremely nice.

That famous in the know stop for travels up and down HWY 5. Serving amazing deli sandwiches in their country store, with the super bird and meatball sandwich being top choices. There is a sit down restaurant, a western bar in the back, and even a hotel now. Whenever we are in the area traveling up and down 5 or to and from clearlake, its our must stop.
A interesting note is the location burned down and had to be rebuilt. From the ashes the store, restaurant, and bar has grown bigger. They were even featured on triple D.

Nice combination restaurant, food and merchandise area, with a lounge to the rear.
Priced for tourist. A “locals” hang out.
Had breakfast of pancakes and eggs. The pancakes are 12 inch plate size, 2 per serving. Tough to cut but edible. Coffee is good.
Staff friendly.

What makes Granzella’s shine is the holistic traveler experience. Where else can you grab a fantastic tri-tip sandwich, wander through a hunting museum, browse an enormous selection of unique sodas and regional wines, and check into a clean, convenient motel—all under one roof? The staff are always friendly and efficient, managing the high volume of road-trippers with practiced ease.
Granzella’s is a California landmark. It’s clean, it’s convenient, and it delivers an experience that is far greater than the sum of its parts. Do yourself a favor and make this your new mandatory I-5 pit stop. You will not be disappointed!

Terrible experience, second time eating here. All waitresses need to be trained on customer service and how to work together with co workers. First we had sat down and then a waitress asked us to move, then another said it’s OK where we are sitting. Had to wait a long time for somebody to come over and ask if we were ready to order. Also a long wait to get our food, when multiple people came in after had gotten their order first. When food came out it looked great, but had no flavor whatsoever. Also saw an older couple order and never really ate their food and seemed as if they was ready to get a check. ♂️

Super nice people that work here but the food is Shoney’s adjace. $44 for the Rib Eye is kind of insane given the Rib Eye was pretty tough but was cooked properly but lack of flavor lead me to smother it in A1 sauce ♂️ again, great folks here. Jose took great care of me.

Stopped on a whim. The place has so much! The food was nice – taco salad was a nice size and tasty. Carrot cake was great – moist and nice flavor. The staff were nice and very helpful.

Great restaurant while charging! Food was great, $50 for 2 people. Clean modern restroom. Gelato, coffee shop, sandwich shop, and diverse food selections.
The atmosphere was very exotic, with stuffed animals (donated) but the music was a little loud.

Granzella’s is a must stop! Right off the intersection of 5 and 20. Wonderful sandwiches, staff, and an amazing selection of high quality Italian goods, wines, candy, baked goods, seasonings/spices, fresh gelato(!), and their own canned foods (olives, garlic, deli mix, glazes, etc.). Plenty of parking and handicap accessible.
