Tioga Gas Mart & Whoa Nellie Deli

The fish tacos were a solid 4 stars; coupled with the location and the ambiance, I bumped it to 5 stars.
2 of us split an order of fish tacos; they are a very generous size.
The fish wasn't as hot as I prefer (Especially fried fish) but all the other parts of the taco were fresh and very good. A flour tortilla even felt alright here (I usually prefer corn for my tacos). It was not a heavy, doughy tortilla. The beans were tasty.
The gal at the food counter was super friendly and it felt genuine.
So yes, this is a gas station and well stocked convenience market seemingly in the middle of nowhere. We were coming out of Yosemite on the Tioga Pass so it was right there where we hit the 395. I was here 10 years ago and they are still going strong. Good selection of beverages, alcoholic and non. Plus, they have Yosemite souvenirs that are less expensive than in Yosemite. (I did not buy a $27 tea towel at The Yosemite Market as it was crazily priced. I bought the exact same item here for $15.) Gas was a bit higher than other stations on 395 but I wanted to support them as they must have lost so much business during the Covid.
The bathrooms were very clean and easy to access-think restaurant restrooms not gas station bathrooms.

I was delightfully surprised at how good this place was and will definitely come back if I ever go to Tahoe or Yosemite.

We got two veggie sandwiches which was a bountiful of nicely grilled veggies between substantial burger buns and came with either fries or potato salad.

I was able to order online and as soon as I got there (10 mins later). The food was ready.

They were upholding safety measures had a small rock and sign on the tables that were cleaned saying it was sanitized and all the staff was wearing masks. Not pictured inside was stuffed bears on the tables with sign saying sorry no indoor dining which was pretty adorable.

It was a lovely impromptu stop and we were able to have a peaceful lunch outside with a view of Monolake.

Wow, this Gas Mart and Deli really had everything we were looking for!  Arrived on a Thursday afternoon, on our way to look for a campsite for the night.  Stopped in to pick up a quick bite.  Loved that we could order the food and wait for it outside (during COVID).  2 of us got the hot vegetarian sandwich with the French fries which were fabulous, and 1 got the sandwich cold which she also said was good.  We threw out all our garbage and recycling, used the nice large clean bathrooms, filled up gas and were on our way.  The next morning we stopped here before our backpacking trip out.  We filled up water (they have bottled water for purchase, and also a spicket for tap water).  And we also used the nice green lawn to lay out all our backpacking supplies and pack our bag back up after we filled up with water.  After our 2 night backpacking trip we stopped here one last time for some souvenirs (a cute hat, pint glass and postcards!) and lots of car snacks for the long drive home.  This place was always crowded, but never packed and seriously had everything we needed to get us through camping and backpacking for the weekend!

Best pancake and sausages breakfast ever...fast service.  Eat in outdoor and found a spectacular view of Mono Lake by the upper parking lot.  Who would have expected such delicious food at a gas station eatery!

Went back again for lunch a couple days later...tried the burger.  It was tasty and juicy and fries was very crispy!  Had a great lunch before heading home.  A MUST-GO If u r near Mono Lake, Lee Vinning or Yosemite.

A MUST pit stop if you're in the area.  TRY their fish tacos if you haven't already.  And if you're not a fish-eater, they have other selections/foods.  But the fish tacos--highly recommend!

Try Toomeys in Mammoth Lakes.  It's amazing!  Soft opening tonight. Great food. Amazing staff.  Congratulations

Looking for a place for lunch!? Look no further than this gas station! Situated between hwy 395 and hwy 120, this is a great stopping point just to admire mono lake. People aren't lying when they say this is the best gas station food! The burger and fish tacos were so good! The burger comes with fries! Whereas the fish tacos come with beans. There are two fish tacos that have two different toppings but I did prefer the one with mangos! They offer good local beers on tap and blended margaritas! Oh so good and refreshing on a hot summer day! It is a bummer that they do not have any mono lake shot glasses though.

This spot is a staple in experiencing the East Side. I'm sad the lobster taquito rolls are no more but love the fish tacos. I can't wait for the pass to open again so we can come through and take a rest at the Mobile.

Carrot cake and chocolate cake which aren't listed on the outdoor menu are ! Mango fish taco was the better of the two tacos. And the burger  satisfied a post hike belly. Def a place worth stopping. It's a total thing.

This place is an oasis of delicious food in a desert! We shared a ribeye sandwich and a salad. The steak was delicious and cooked to order! The salad was a delightful change from regular side salads of iceberg lettuce and ranch with a variety of greens and a raspberry vinaigrette. The view is awesome too!
