Whoa Nellie Deli Reviews
The buffalo meatloaf I have it every year when I’m up here visiting. A real taste treat, and the garlic mashed potatoes are great as well. You would never expect to find food like this at a gas station. Do yourself a favor, stop in and eat when you’re up here visiting.

Located at a truck stop, it’s a hidden gem on the 395, offering friendly service and a casual atmosphere. Large windows provide beautiful views of Mono Lake, making it a perfect place to refuel after exploring the area. Many customers say the "world famous fish tacos" are a must-try, with massive portions and delicious mango salsa.

It’s also a good spot for RVs and vans, with overflow parking. Although prices are rising, it remains popular among travelers seeking a solid meal.
The restaurant offers a wide variety of dishes, from the classic fish tacos to more unexpected options like lobster and crab taquitos, wild buffalo meatloaf with port wine sauce, and ahi sashimi.

The casual vibe, friendly service, and convenient location make Whoa Nellie Deli a favorite for both locals and visitors. The decor has an old western theme with horse motifs, and food is served quickly with minimal wait times. There’s indoor and outdoor seating, and visitors can buy camping supplies here if heading into Yosemite.
