178 Bar & Grill

Pros: - very easy online ordering and customizing orders through Toast Tab - best burgers and especially burger buns in town - tasty mozzarella sticks - good sauces - pleasant staff 9 times out of 10 Cons: - somewhat small portions of fries that come as a side. It's not really worth another $5 for an extra side of fries unless you're really hungry - higher prices make this more of a splurge than somewhere to eat regularly - selecting 'bring food to my car' is kind of useless as other reviews have mentioned. You should call them. Sometimes the wait time for someone to pick up is long enough that it is worth it to just go inside to get your order. And even then it usually takes a little while. Don't order here if you're in a rush. - hair in food. I hate leaving anything less than 4 star reviews. We have gotten food to go probably 25 times in the last couple years, and I'm sorry to say that we have found hair in one of our dishes about 6 times, sometimes head length hair and sometimes eyelash / eyebrow hair, and only once was the hair color possibly one of ours. One of my friends is extremely squeamish and will not eat there after the second time it happened; my other friends do not care. I keep wanting to give them the benefit of the doubt but it happened again recently. While I believe it's not a big deal if it happens a couple times, the frequency is just too high. I implore the restaurant staff to be more careful. We will give it a while before eating here again and will definitely update if our experiences get better in the future.

Amazing food! We have visited 178 a few times, and it quickly has become our favorite. Their burgers are juicy and huge! The prime rib is by far the best in the valley if not the county. They always have great music playing, live bands, or a comedy show. Fun games for the kids to play and a pool table for the adults. Customer service is always on point, and you will usually find the owners making rounds and checking on their customers. This is a new business but one that will stick, because the entire crew cares. If you can make room they have some awesome dessert options too! Give them a try, you won't be disappointed!

My review accidentally only showed 1 star initially. I intended to hit 5 stars! I am so sorry! Honey BBQ sauce on my wings was very good. Batter on my onion rings was delicious.

Great food, great live band. Nice cold beer. Our server Anna was busy serving everyone outside but she made sure everyone was taken care of with a smile on her face. I tried the pile up burger this time and it was excellent. Next time I think I'll give the bison burger a try. Great little place in Lake Isabella!

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.
