Plan your stop

Before you go

Best time to go

Treat the store and grill as mid-summer services: they typically operate from mid-June into late September, but dates vary and may not match Tioga Road's opening and closing. Confirm current operations before relying on a meal or resupply.

Food, parking and supplies

The grill serves breakfast and lunch, with menu descriptions including pancakes, burritos, burgers, hot dogs, fries and chili, plus vegetarian choices. Seating is outdoors only. Visitors often mention the potato wedges and soft serve, though opinions on the food are mixed. Designated parking is nearby, but finding a space can be harder when the area is busy. The store lists a restroom; both facilities are listed as wheelchair accessible. There is no fuel in Tuolumne Meadows, so fill up before driving up Tioga Road.

Tuolumne Meadows Store and Grill is a small seasonal service stop on Tioga Road: a convenience store beside a separate fast-casual grill. It's useful for groceries, hiking and camping basics, or a cooked meal while you're spending time in the meadows. Think of it as a practical resupply stop rather than a destination restaurant.
