The Giant Artichoke Restaurant is a popular spot, well-known for its artichoke dishes and friendly service. The fried artichokes are highly recommended, often praised as AMAZING and served hot and fresh, perfect for dipping in ranch. The steamed artichoke remains a highlight, noted for being the freshest and most perfectly cooked. The restaurant has a cozy, garden-like atmosphere that makes it a charming place to visit. In addition to artichokes, the menu offers other tasty options like fish and chips, as well as unique items such as artichoke bread and an artichoke cupcake, which some find interesting but not as flavorful as expected. The restaurant is a Castroville staple, appreciated for its history and consistent quality. Visitors often enjoy sharing small dishes like fried artichoke hearts and trying special sauces like kiwi lime, which add a tangy contrast. The vibe can be a little quirky, but the overall experience is positive, making it a great place especially for artichoke lovers.
