Giant Artichoke Fruits Veg

Next to the restaurant, there is a smaller selection of vegetables and fruits available at reasonable prices.

This is the only restaurant where I've ever found deep-fried artichoke hearts, and they are absolutely worth every penny!

The deep-fried artichokes were fantastic, and the staff was very friendly.

I was very disappointed with the quality and variety of produce available. We wanted to pick up a jar of artichokes as a souvenir, but they were from Kirkland. I do enjoy shopping at Costco, but that's not the reason I visited. This restaurant used to be one of my favorites when I was younger; it was always well-stocked with fresh items. Such a letdown.

Frozen Fried Artichoke Hearts were delicious! I cooked them in Air Fryer for 18 minutes which was preheated to 400 degrees. They are available in one or two pound packages in the grout and vegetable part of the building that houses the Giant Artichoke Restaurant. The price is just under $20 per pound. Worth every penny! Ask for the recipe card at cash register. It tells how to bake them until golden brown. I’ve been going to the Giant Artichoke since 1953 and watched it grow from a tiny walk up window to today’s restaurant. deli and fruit/vegetable ares. My father went there in 1940s, while stationed at Ford Ord, during WW2. Their fried artichokes are as delicious as I remember them being and can be enjoyed at home due to the availability of frozen ones to bake or air fry at home.
