Gas prices

We came out of the twin lakes to find this gas station saw the prices as 6:59 a gallon. Overpriced we are now getting contact of the state to shut this business down. This is illegal overpricing.

Stopped here for some gas and a bit to eat on our way back from Lake Tahoe. Lot's of horrible reviews on this place. Glad that wasn't our experience. Gas was high but I sorta expect that in places like this. We found the staff to be friendly and informative. We bought a couple of sandwiches and some coffee and enjoyed the views of the distant mountains while sitting on the picnic tables outside.

Gas prices 6/24/22. You'll pay less in the other towns nearby.

They have lots of snacks, and restrooms inside the store. The people were friendly enough both times I was here. Those gas prices are no joke though; you would do well to fill up before or after Bridgeport if you can.

I don't care about the bathroom issue like everyone else here has posted. It's their toilets, it's not a rest stop, whatever. Gas prices were ridiculous, that's true, but the independent station just down the street is only 10 cents cheaper per gallon than this Shell. Both of them are still $1.50 per gallon higher than the gas in my city right now. Heck, even the gas station at Topaz Lake just 40 miles up 395 was over $1.25 cheaper per gallon. Gas at the Chevron in Gardnerville is $1.40 cheaper! So if any of these Bridgeport Shell goons say it's because of their remoteness that their prices are higher it's all BS. I take real umbrage with the amount of crap I got from the two turkeys working when I asked them to turn the air on so I could fill up my tires. You'd have thought I told them I shot their dogs. They looked at me with disgust and exasperation. They told me it would be a dollar to turn the machine on. I looked at them incredulously. Seriously? You can't just flip the switch and turn the air on? No, that will be $1. I bought $60 in gas from you two days ago when I was heading through Bridgeport! Guy looks at me like Jabba the Hut looked when he was getting strangled by Princess Leia. Smashes his sausage finger on the register, pulls out four quarters, hands them to his buddy, Toothless Joe, who literally meets me out back and puts the quarters in the machine for me, like I'm going to steal a dollar in quarters. FFS! Then I start filling and I'm literally able to fill up two tires from 25psi to 40psi before the air stops. Not daring to ask for four more quarters because, you know, it's such a huge imposition, I put my own quarters in the machine, even though, you know, $60 in gas, and fill up the other two tires. Here's the rub, the independent station down the street doesn't have air, or so the lady told me. So if you want air in Bridgeport save your frigging receipt in case you're passing back through a day or two or seven days later otherwise, apparently, if you ask for air you've done something ISIS level atrocious. Btw: AB 531 states: Existing law requires every service station in this state to provide, during operating hours, water, compressed air, and a gauge for measuring air pressure, to the public for use in servicing any passenger or commercial vehicle, as defined. Existing law provides that the failure of an owner or manager of a service station to have adequate water and air facilities for use by the public for 5 consecutive working days constitutes a rebuttable presumption that the owner or manager has intentionally violated these provisions. An intentional violation of these provisions is an infraction punishable by a fine not to exceed $50 per day. This bill would require that these air and water services be made available at no cost to customers who purchase motor vehicle fuel, as defined. The bill would require service stations to place and maintain a specified sign regarding these services.

It is approximately half way between Reno and Bishop, so, it's a great place to stop geographically.

I've stopped by this location a few times. I am guessing that most folks in Bridgeport take long…read moredrives to stock up on a majority of their groceries from nearby towns (Mammoth Lakes to the South or other towns further north). This store is a very critical stop for anything you'd need in between big shopping trips out of town. It has a good variety of touristy souvenirs, pantry staples, grocery items (meat, dairy, some produce), and items you'd find at a hardware or drug store. If you are in town for a fishing trip and need supplies...if you are passing through and want to pick up some snacks or goodies (try the Bridgeport Coffee Roasters coffee beans--they are delicious!), then this is a great stop for you.

I've got to agree with the average here and go 3-stars. This store just lacked a lot of opportunity…read morein my opinion. I tend to love shopping at these local markets when visiting smaller towns in the Eastern Sierra because they typically have great local goods, fun merchandise, quality local charm and character, and lively local operators who are happy to see you there. We popped into this shop in search of water and some ice cream novelties, which we certainly found, but beyond that, it was pretty bare bones and basic. The shelves were also pretty sparse, and the selection a bit thin too. Usually you can find just about anything you need in one of these stores, but unfortunately I'd say that you'd need to visit here and Ken's to guarantee you'll find what you need and may even find yourself driving to the next town for certain things. The shop is good in an emergency moment, but could be much more.

Excellent spot to capture a view of Mono Lake. Souvenirs…read morewere antique and valuable; but worth collecting. Well stocked Yosemite Tioga Road gift shop and gas station. Lots of selections of beverages and snacks, but they were pretty pricey. Certainly worth a visit while you're traveling in Mono County and Yosemite National Park Tioga Road.

This is a 5-star gas station, mart, and deli, but the food is closer to 3-star. Any hot food made…read moreto order at a gas station near a national park is already a godsend, so I can see how this place has so many fans. First, this is only open in the summer. So if you find yourself this part of town while there's snow, and Tioga Pass is closed, don't even bother. Second, it does take a while to get food since they seem to make them to order, so if you're in a hurry, grab the ready-made items or snacks. We were pretty skeptical of fish tacos all the way out in the mountains, so we settled for the lobster and crab taquitos. Honestly, the taquitos felt like they came out of the freezer and weren't that special, but the rice was really good! I'd come here for a pit stop, but it's not like I have to eat here, unless I have a long journey ahead with no food. Bonus: they have plenty of seating including outdoor seating with a fantastic view of Mono Lake!

Two trips in two days and both cashiers were about as friendly as a pet rock. Last night's guy had the shakes. Today's lady only said "would you like your receipt." The self-bagging idea is good. At least you can pack your items as you want. But. Maybe. If there was a courtesy clerk who would do it for you. Elderly couple in front of me did their own cart. Meanwhile, three associates (maybe even a manager) were living their best life near the courtesy desk. During rush hour, staff should be ready to help. Other reviews say every check stand is open. Today. Maybe 50%. Self checkout is usually a good bet, but when the line is turned and backed to past the ice cream aisle, you know it's slow going. At least the store does a great job of living up to "mountain time."

What a disappointment to come to this store while visiting the area! The meat department is foul,…read moreselling old meat. Some meat to the point of gas release and slime? This is a public safety risk. This is no longer meat that should be sold, and should be in the garbage. Then what is the deal with no cases of water? Are cases of water not drank in this town? We needed some fruit, and vegetables. We were able to scrape up some produce. Was not the easiest because things were not getting replenished. Many holes on the shelves. We saw employees having a good time bs'ing. No manager around, Supervisor....not for me...for the employees who are messing around! Place is a hot mess, and in need of health department inspection.
