From their website, ‘Established in 1996, The Mobil has become a one-stop destination for travelers and locals alike. This family-owned business situated at the corner of Highway 395 and 120 is an ideal location for access to Yosemite and the Eastern Sierras. Eat some amazing grub at the famous Whoa Nellie Deli, grab some snacks, find some great souvenirs, fill up your gas tank, or just enjoy the spectacular views of Mono Lake and the Dana Plateau.’ From the Los Angeles Eater website, ‘At a gas station on the way to California’s most famous national park, Whoa Nellie Deli makes food far better than it needs to be, with views to match. Whoa Nellie Deli is more robust than it lets on from the outside, with cocktails and wines and a large menu of staple entrees, each with its own diehard fans. There’s the perennial hit of the seasonal fish tacos, the simple burgers for those looking to fill up after a long hike, or the buffalo meatloaf that nods back to the roaming Western days. It’s also more fully formed than just some roadside gas station stop-off. The restaurant is a wood-wrapped, cabin-y creation with thick diner coffee mugs and deep burgundy booths just feet away from the motor oil aisle. Don’t expect haute fine dining: This is one part country cooking, one part ’90s luncheon, but still done with the usual eye toward filling you up and pushing you out into the starry night happy.’ Brad and the Huckberry team recommend the World Famous Fish Tacos.
