    Ask for the specials! Stopped in for a late lunch and it was absolutely fabulous. Prime rib right off the grill. Perfectly Smokey and seriously delicious. Specials: they also had lobster, steak, and salmon off the grill You have to get the sweet potato fries. So crispy and homey.

    Amazing. Tuesday night so it wasn't at all busy. Donna served us our very delicious margaritas. My friend had crispy chicken sandwich with onion rings and I had the turkey and bacon club with fries. It was all very good. Donna was awesome.

    I placed my order online through Toast, went smoothly! Going into 178 Bar and Grill I was greeted by the friendly and attentive lady working the bar, whom had my order all together and ready to go! Great service and very timely. Once able to sit down with my meal, the care given to completing my order was noticed right away. Everything done perfectly and to order precisely! The food was amazing and flavorful, thank you Cindy for the wonderful service! And, the lady working the front!

    My wife and I came here for a weekend trip and this was our first stop for some eats and drinks...easily could have been the only stop! Amy and Jeremy were the best bartenders and the food was absolutely amazing. I'm a southern boy so it is hard to find good brisket and BBQ out west. I would highly recommend stopping by here, especially on a Saturday. Thank you all so much, we shall be back.

    Ate here for the first time. Everything from the service, to food and drinks were all excellent. We had few edits to our menu choices which were all handled with perfection. Definitely recommend the sweet and spicy wings. Will definitely return in the future.!

    We went in to the 178 Bar & Grill today to have a beverage and an appetizer, and we ordered sandwiches to go. Our service was excellent. The staff is very friendly and efficient. We got our food quickly and accurately. The food and the beverages were delicious. The atmosphere is very comfortable and friendly. We will be back next time we are close to Lake Isabella.

    We stumbled upon this place on a Saturday while visiting Lake Isabella for the 1st time, and luck on our side, it was BBQ night! We had the best brisket and chicken ever! We went back the next day and had the best sammies ever! We debated extending our stay so we could try everything on the menu! Shout outs to Amie and Jeremy (our bartenders who both rocked, but especially Miss Amie, who made us feel welcome!) And to the cooks (we didn't get their names)! We will be back!
