    I absolutely love 178 Bar and Grill! This review is long overdue, as every visit has consistently been positive, with excellent food and service. From the taco salad to the burger to the pastrami sandwich, everything is prepared with care and never disappoints. The cheese curds are outstanding!! Hands down the best in the area and comparable to the ones I've had in Wisconsin. During this visit, we were served by Lindy for the first time, and she was fantastic! Lindy was friendly and charismatic, making us feel right at home. All of the staff here have been great, and we've never had a bad experience. We also really enjoy the layout of the place. The separate dining area from the bar gives you the option to keep things a little more laid-back if you're coming in with kids or family. We always have a great time here, and we're already looking forward to the next visit!

    This is quite a nice bar and grill. You have seating both indoor and outdoor. My wife and I usually prefer to sit outside and our baby also tends to like outside. The service has been pretty darn good. The servers bring us our food and even drinks sometimes to the outside seating are. The food has also been pretty good. I've only really had the burgers and some appetizers.

    This is a perfect stop to a long drive and Lindy was amazing. Super personable loved our dog ordered him some pup patties - had great service. The food is excellent The Ruben is a must if you're in here definitely worth it. Great stop!!!

    This place has really great food. I had taken my friend Lucas and his wife Tanya here the weekend following her birthday for lunch. I told them that they could order what ever they wanted. We each ordered a different type of cheese burger and with fries and we got an extra order of onion rings and we each ordered ice tea, this place was packed out. We showed up around 2:30 in the afternoon, if I would have been spending the night we would have came latter for dinner and ribs. It was my first time coming here and I was happy with my experience. The place is sorta loud, but at least everyone there was having a great time. The cheese burger that I ordered, I had gotten avocado and bacon on it besides all the other fixings. I was stuffed by the time I had finished eating and I had about a three hour drive back home. Probably two people could share a meal there if you are not a big eater. I highly recommend this place to others when you are in Lake Isabella or Kernville.

    Drove up from Bako to the DMV and afterwards the employees recommended this place. It did not disappoint. My wife ordered the bbq bacon burger and onion rings. She liked them both very much. I chose the pastrami burger (recommended by the DMV staff). Holy smokes that was a lot of meat. Smoked pastrami on a big old slab of patty. Brioche bun was perfect but I couldn't finish it all. Just a good old dark tavern with a pool table, nice sized bar and good service.

    Pick Up Order of The Throwback Burger with garlic cheese fries yummm

    Really great food (we had a cheeseburger and BLT). The service was a bit slow as our waitress was very busy, but the service was very nice.

    I had an "interresting" morning....compliments of Cheyl's Diner…read more I am a trained military explosives expert- however " the type of Explosives I am referring to here is NOT a quality ANYONE would hope to have to deal with- and very much warrant an honest YELP review, warning, or an I told you so. Yes,That bad. A skimpy ration of what they put between the rye toast and the disgusting over pricing - I gladly welcome vs. the "effects" of it on the human body. The rudeness, teribble service, and ignorance of the owner, and staff there goes right along with the effects of what happens afterwards. I would appreciate it if I were issued a T- shirt reading " I survived Cheryl's Diner" to serve as fair warning to those who are not aware. I believe in supporting the "Mom & Pop" establishments in our communities, but I would have to bet that "Pop" suffered and exited - after dining in this place. This would be a perfect target for Chef Gordon Ramsey to visit. Can't imagine the horror he'd find in the walk in freezer. Needless to say, If given the choice- I would choose military MRE's over this futile attempt of actually considering this place a " Diner". The loud gossip between the waitresses should have been enough of an indicator to leave. The results of the effects on the human body after eating there though, will assure that I will NEVER return. Actually, I feel it's only fair to warn others of the results of this poor choice. I would seriously consider beginning a "fast" to going through all that again. I'd love to admit I am exaggerating- were that the case. If they have " negative" grades on rating the "cuissine"- This place is a banner reason why. I can only offer my appology to my date, and fair warning to any who consider eating there. I would go onto the lack of cleanliness of the restrooms- but I am truly ready to simply let the memory of the place fade, and become an automatic warning to avoid it at all costs in the foreseeable future. If I had to sum it up on one word, I rekon "Disgusting" would do.

    Let's me say this.... I love burgers. I eat at least 5 burgers a week and try to find a new place…read moreevery time. So when I say I've had thousands of burgers... I really mean it. It seems almost impossible to replace the #1 spot in my book of best burgers... McNally's shockingly took it by storm! The burger they made me wasn't even on their menu. I explained to them I love trying and experiencing the best burgers. They were confident that they could make one of the most incredible burgers I've had. I was doubtful, not going to lie. Especially since this burger wasn't even advertised. Whoah.... They blew me away! They made me a monster bacon burger with carmelized onions, jalepenos, and their pettiness absolutely cooked to perfection . I have no idea why this beast isn't in their menu. I paid $35 for the burger and I'd gladly pay it again. If I remember correctly it was a 1/3 lb pattie cooked to medium. Oh my God... I have been in love and thinking about this burger for a whole week. The most incredible experience aside from the unmatched burger, was the experience and customer service. Everyone was so cool, fun, and just so incredible. The owner walked around each table to introduce himself and you could clearly see his pride and love for the restaurant. The staff was fun and the ambiance was perfect with the river view from their deck. Thank you McNallys for the amazing experience! I will guaranteed be back and very soon. Burger not on the menu, but needs to be bragged about!
