leftyDouble dipping  Sucess!
Date Climbed: Jun 28, 2008

I went for a weekend binge, hitting up the grilled veggie burger on Friday evening on my way north and the fish tacos for lunch on my way back south on Sunday. Yuummmmm...

I'm still training to do a 395 traverse of breafast at the Whoa Nelli Deli, followed by lunch at Schatt's, and then a milk shake at Primos.

big_gI came, I saw, I gassed up  Sucess!

I was green and without guidebook but still this stumbled onto this Sierra classic. My drive was nearing its crux the fuel gauge told me when the WND appeared. Now a little more experienced and with route (food) beta, I am eager to return.

RamblindaveWorld famous fish tacos...  Sucess!
Date Climbed: Sep 5, 2007

Been here a few times, for snacks and the Mango Margaritas, 1st time I have actually had a meal. Fish tacos are huge, personally like the mango/plum variation better. Beans also quite tasty.

Will definately repeat this one

Great place to stop - even with the Labor Day Weekend crowds!

DigglerA true High Sierra Classic  Sucess!

I’ve soloed routes here as well as having probably a dozen or so friends along (or on adjacent routes) concurrently. I wouldn’t mind partnering with some of the women behind the registers; I might need my alpine tool for that. The views are frequently very nice. The finest & perhaps most committing lines include the Fish Tacos & aptly named Steak Ceasar Salad, although the short & easy BBQ Chicken Pizza is a classic in its own rite. While the Mango Margaritas require (financial) commitment, I think that the (alcoholic) rating of the route isn’t as stiff as it necessarily could (or should) be to warrant queuing up over it over some of the adjacent ones (beer, etc.).

All in all, a first-class climbers’ area- I’ll be back.

Date Climbed: Jun 21, 2007

After a couple thwarted attempts and a full winter of preparation I finally had a succesful summit bid. It was worth the effort and I will be back to try more routes

96avs01Can't recall  Sucess!

the actual number of successful summits @ Whoa Nellie! The fish tacos are da bomb, the KC strip caesar salad is phat, and the carnitas make you wish you ordered a second helping. Hope to one-day have the appetite for the BBQ/pesto pizza, and possibly arrive early enough for breakfast!

A necessary stop when on the east side.

Dave DalyRoute Climbed: The Wild Buffalo Meatloaf Date Climbed: 9 Oct 2005  Sucess!

Easy approach on the eyes but sustained and dedicated eatting! Mouth watering. Topped out on the garlic mashed potatoes. I'd do this route again. Timeless and classic!

1000PksRoute Climbed: via 395 Date Climbed: August 6, 2005  Sucess!

Fine food while I waited before climbing Mt. Dana. First, a Diet Pepsi from the store, before the deli opened at 7 a.m. A ham and cheese croissant, pretty big, for 6.50, then a coffee, too. After Dana, I had a deli roast beef sandwich, at 6.75, made fresh in the morning. Filling. Busy, with gas at 3.099 regular, back then.



They are probably overpriced, but for the businesses along that part of U.S. 395, not too bad. Good clean facilities, and hard-working staff. Count your change, however.

PellucidWombatRoute Climbed: Deli Cash Register Date Climbed: August 1st, 2004  Sucess!

This route nearly ended in catastrophe for me as I got off route due to HAPE (Hilarious Architectural Phrenetic Energy).



At the sight of the gymnastic bars out front, I was already dazed and confused, but the trapeez strung about the interior left me bewildered. After battling through the disorienting array of brightly colored flags that seemed to have nothing to do with the theme of the restaurant, I ran into a barrier of equally brightly colored tourists. Luckily these little critters were friendly, and after following them at a safe distance (to avoid the danger of being bitten), I was at the register!

Bill OttRoute Climbed: Big-O/ Goodyear route Date Climbed: BC  Sucess!

Great summit where one can fit in NICELY. During the BC (before cellphone) era, the crux was in finding an avaliable pay phone.

DebRoute Climbed: Fish Tacos in far eastern dihedral of diner Date Climbed: October 2002

Soloed this route twice in one week's time to get my technique down. Unfortunately I failed to summit both times due to major loss of molar 2 weeks prior. I think 2005 is my year to conquest and conquer the elusive clean plate summit.

Dave DalyRoute Climbed: Baja Fish Taco With Mango Chutney (The Wino Variation) Date Climbed: July 2001  Sucess!

Made the "summit" via the Wino Variation (S5+) but got greedy trying to make a double summit attempt on 'The Hot Tuna/Ahi Platter' (S7). Summit attempt halted by A.G.P.S. (acute gut pain syndrome). Partnering up with Deb to make a reattempt in 2005......

thebeave7Route Climbed: Post JMT Gorging Date Climbed: July 16th, 2004  Sucess!

After a successful completion of the JMT in 16 days, I met my parents in the Valley, and we headed over the pass to dine at the Whoa Nelli. Needless to say, stuffing a chicken ceasar wrap into my stomach after 16 days of starvation was tasty, but I paid for it later(I lost 10+lbs as evident in the pic).
