A hidden gem. I have lived in the Mountain Home area for 8 years and didn't know about this wonderful restaurant. WOW, I was surprised at how good the food actually was. I had the Mediterranean Chicken and it was delicious. I will be going back soon

Erica Goetz

Shiela is awesome. We have so much fun when we go there. They have pool tables and music.

Jason Rose

Good gourmet food w/a southern touch...nice but a little over-priced.

Craig B

The staff steals the stars on this review, The bartenders and waitresses were top notch, they all referred to me by name after only telling them once. Food was great too, along with the atmosphere, I visit a friend down here and when I do, I'll stop back in.

Pete Ferron

New year's Eve dinner--prime rib and lobster tail. One in our party got undercooked lobster and sent it back--quickly replenished with a perfectly cooked tail. Great service and good food. Save the date for next year.

This place is awesome! Exceptional food and service for over 30 years...seems there are those who are friends of other restaurants who like to bash this place!!

Amberley Hotchkiss

First.time going there and it wasnt bad except for a few things. One of the hostess was really friendly and the other one could be a little more friendly instead of saying how.its goin to a customer. Also the bread could be warm and fresh instead of being hard. Will definitely come back and try again

my baby

Everything we ordered was perfect the spinach dip was made with fresh ingredients

matt worceser

We met our friends at the 178 club in rememberence of my father,the service was outstanding,our waiter Ted is the best,does a great job, the food is awesome,no wonder it was my dads favorite place to eat, and they make a great Manhattan

Michele Nichols

Barely any sauce on my alfredo. Wasnt really tasty. Bathroom was incredibly small. People love the place. Not my cup of tea

Felicia Faulkner

Lisa Masterson

Really good Shrimp Po'Boy

Fate Clips

Place this dirty, just think how bad it is behind kitchen door.

Jessica Alexander

Food was great. Nice atmosphere, and friendly staff.

Ayael Amaré

Visiting the area. Ordered the endless fish (cod). The fish was good. The potato skins were great. The onion rings were great. The hushpuppies aren't good at all and really need improvement. This place could add some additional sides (like mashed potatoes and brown gravy, and Mac n cheese). It would also be nice if they had a better selection of diet sodas (such as Diet Mt Dew or Diet Dr Pepper). The service was outstanding. Other than needing some minor tweaks, the experience here was a good one.

chris milligan

I have eaten here in the past and it has always been literally gourmet food and five star service. Last night I Was no exception! Once again well done! My recommendation to anyone in the area is to give them a try. It’s hands down the best restaurant in 100 miles!

mike moore

Great food, even better service. Very good beer selection

dave davolt

Food was really great, best fried Walleye I've eaten. My wife's fillet mignon was juicy and tender, just as she ordered it. The Italian cream cake was made in house. Not real sweet and sugary, which is how I like it.

Wade Fox

Had Great Valentine's Dinner Last night. Great Job 178 Club.

Finding the truth Facts

Well they forgot may bacon on hamburger but hamburger was great anyway.

DARCIE DIDDEN

The 178 is the place to go for a relaxing, quiet and very good dinner. I happened to be in there one Tuesday night only to find out they have a Fried Chicken Special on Tuesday nights, oh my goodness it was great!

Brad Morris

Like the best overall restaurant in the area. Excellent food and atmosphere. You need to try the walleye!

Carrie Geier

Always great food and service. Casual dining in bar or nicer in the dining room.

Scott Lake

We arrived late on a Sunday evening. Waited 20 minutes or more for our server. Observed servers arguing over who would have to wait on other arriving customers so we figured they had done the same with us. Our server catered to the table full of elderly drunks at the table next to us and ignored us for the most part with us catching her serving them to ask for drink refills while we waited an additional forty-five minutes for our food. Ate our food in fifteen minutes and left a better tip than the elderly drunks who were very loud and left a five dollar tip for our waitress. I left eight and that was too much, but, I didn't want to wait for her to take our money and come back with change. Probably would have been another 20 to 30 minutes. I left cash. Food was pretty good however so this is why I gave it an average rating rather than a poor. It wasn't worth the wait however.

Ed Stinson

Great food great service great atmosphere...

Mike Stout

Loved it!

David Hodges

Great food great service

Elaine Wood

nice lunch. loved the fish..

kevin levo

Always great love it

Bobbi Alfrey

The brisket was no very good too much bread and fat. My husband liked his walleye was good &the loaded potato was very good my salad was good. OUR waitress was really good. We will think about trying you again in the future maybe. Or choose another place.

dhenl1

Great food, atmosphere, and service we always enjoy it.

Patricia Ellis

Terrific service, ask for Ted! Food is always well prepared. Sunday brunch is worth the trip.

Paula Wyss

Great food! Wonderful service!

C. Jones

Omg... The food... Yum.

Daniel Whitehead

Come out to Bull Shoals and try this little gem. Wife and I had calamari as a starter and it was great. Really good breading and fresh. Then we had shrimp and sirloins for our entrees and all was delicious. Friendly staff and reasonable prices. We'll be back for sure.

Greg Whitsell

The food and service are always wonderful here.

Debbie Lum

We had dinner there on Mother's Day. The food was delicious, and cooked just the way we wanted it. We thought maybe they were trying a little too hard to cut expenses. No bread service unless requested, and portions were small.

Sandy Sands

The 178 Club has a 10 lane real wood bowling alley, a sports bar, a bar-b-que kiosk, and a full service restaurant that serves everything from fried chicken, fresh water fish, to burgers and fries. It is a little pricy but well worth it.

Paul Nichols

Always neet and the Sunday breakfast buffet is great.

Vicky Bair

Great menu choices and awesome specials! Service was excellent.

Robert Howe

Outstanding tilapia on the menu, especially when blackened. Great food and outstanding service. Place needs a little updating, but is a pleasant place to have a great meal.

Destiny Jones

All of your employees were rude to me while I was working there. My review is valid, thanks :). If you could somehow fix their attitudes towards other people then your restaurant would be leaning towards being better.

Robin Lambert

Sarah was our waitress and gave us excellent service. The food is so good!!! I love the White table cloths and gormet food but you can dress casual.

August Unkel

The 178 Club has always served the best food. Iserve most graciously everytime time and I have been there. I totally recommend it to anyone.

William Grove

The fish was very good, wait staff well trained. We had a nice time.

Pat Babcock

Excellent service and food. The jumbo fried shrimp were huge.

Joe Melone

Wonderful food. Great serving sizes. Pam is a terrific waitress. Drinks were awesome.

Mary Dowell

Katt Price

Squirrelly Que

Great food friendly staff wonderful atmoshete

Robert Lyons

Great place for a business lunch

Bryan Mckinney

Best food ever!

Matt Jess

Me and the wife just moved to Bull Shoals the end of May. Although it is a great place to live and we have found a great new life in living up here from living in Jonesboro. We arrived around 6 pm to eat. Restaurant was empty except for an older couple at the bar. Homey atmosphere but was a little confused on the front section having table cloths and the back being bare table? No big deal just different... my wife ordered the chicken tenders which in both our opinion were very bland (I stole a piece for an honest review). I had the cheddar burger cooked medium with steamed broccoli as my side instead of fries . The burger was decent, I've had better and I've had worse, also was a little undercooked for medium but all in all decent. Broccoli was way over cooked but is an easy vegetable to over cook. The food was decent all in all and we will definitely try again sometime...however the sweet tea as mentioned in several reviews is TERRIBLE. Angela was our server and did a decent job of taking care of us especially when it came to our 7 year old and a styrofoam cup instead of a regular cup. 2 star for the tea. Will be back again.

Canita GoldenGoodJohnson

Best food, great staff, cozy and fun atmosphere. Live music at times.

Kalyn Hannaford

Very friendly staff and great food. Highly recommend. Burgers are great.

Sassze One

They have wonderful staff they are so on top of everything and their food is really good. I have never been disappointed with this place ever. Prices are very reasonable too!

Dean Miller

Great food, great service. Try the mushrooms, they are the best. Steaks and seafood are awesome. You won’t go wrong by visiting.

Brooks Clem

A "must go" when in Bull Shoals.

Bradley Clifton

Place is awesome!! Recommend this to every one!!

Reca Smith

Wonderful food#great service#good atmosphere#top of the my list

Dave Hotchkiss

Poor service, food was slow to come out, and some of our food was cold. Owner called and explained that they had just lost an employee before we arrived. Explained the poor service. It's not like that usually. It's a great place to eat with great service and food.

Jan Siperly

This is the place to go for catfish. It was delicious!

Starr Bartlett

Inflated prices on average food in a building with the 80's wood panels prominently displayed throughout. If they serve your order wrong and you ask for a menu to show them crab cakes are not served dry, the mgr asks you to leave.

Jon Junkin

The fried walleye platter is first rate with flash fried (fresh) nuggets, crisp crinkle fries, and a nice homemade tartar sauce. Ambiance is okay despite outdated, very dark interior dining spaces....

William Tesnow

Great service and food.

JAMES LEWIS

I moved to the Rea Valley just 9 months ago and heard about this place around town so I stopped in to grab a few cold beers with my moving crew to thank them for all of their help,I was surprised how good the bbq was and I've stopped at every local bbq place around , everybody in my crew loved it ! the smoked Turkey is incredible and my wife says it's the best she's ever had ! I love the burgers ,huge ,Delicious & fresh and you can bet I'll be back for more. The service here comes with a kind and genuine smile , the prices are more than fair.

Tayler Savely

The food was phenomenal at the restaurant and my husband and I had so much fun at the sports bar/bowling alley. Taking away one star for decor in restaurant.

Bill Smith

After my 5th visit I am through! Overpriced, poorly prepared entrees', lack of professionalism in the staff, poor attitude and there is no trained 'chef' or cook. Cannot tell the difference between rare and medium in a simple burger! Management needs 'people training' and not argue with customers! 3/14/2019//reply to eatery answer/ WRONG the burger went back in two plates/if 1/2 of it was eaten I am surprised. The lack of professionalism even shows up in your reply to a customers review huh?/ SHAME///you are now 1/2 a star....whoever you are/ don't even give me your name/ probably the busboy!

Jodie Woodsmall

Very very good food and wonderful service. Super great nice people.

chelsie nicole huckabee

I just ordered the shrimp scampi. I got 6 shrimp in a watery sauce with some soggy crust and two baggies of bread and butter and some luke warm soup. I was not a fan of this place to begin with and I will never be ordering from here again.

Mary G

Mmmmm! So good- I had the parmesan and garlic crusted wall eye. That was so very tasty! Service was excellent. Definitely coming back with friends.

john monckton

This was our last night of our vacation and we wanted a great meal. Well let me tell you it was AMAZING. Food drinks and the atmosphere was warm and pleasant. When we get to come back to Arkansas we will return to the 178 Club. Thank you for a great time. The Moncktons (Texas)

Paige

Amazing food fun for the kids

Sayward Elliot

I have been very fortunate in my life that I have been able to travel all over the world. From Germany to Hawaii to Canada and exotic locales too many to name .... 178 Club in Bull shoals, Arkansas is among my top 5 places to dine!! The cocktails and steaks rival Trader Vic's... You shouldn't miss this TREAT

Katherine Gross

Great food and friendly service.

Melissa Jenkins

The mushroom, swiss, and avocado burger was fantastic. I just wish the BBQ place was a little more advertised on where to go, because that was what we were really wanting.

C N

Nice Sunday brunch buffet

Matthew R

Wow!!! I have no complaints. Everything was damn good.

Cody Jackson

Having fun with the kids, and enjoying dinner my kind of night.

Cathy Baker

Fabulous waitress. Went the extra mile for a Coke.

misty kirvan

Loved my Cobb salad and service was great!

Danielle Owens

Great service! The bbq was really good too

Joellen Schoenbrun

Wonderful food in restaurant . Fun to go bowling also and have lunch . But have to say the past few times went for lunch in bowling alley the food was cold and dry.. only one person working bar /the lanes / and waiting tables. Need more help to keep up your great rep..!

Brian Irvin

Amazing food, amazing service I get so tired of disappointment for so-so service and that is definitely not what you will find here. The 178 club has raised the bar on Bull Shoals Lake.

Michael Harber

Great food and excellent service.

Belle Liska

Workers are great they are polite and helpful we appreciate that very much thank you

Angela Hickerson

It's ok

Tracy G

Fun place, nice owner, good place to throw a party

Monica zumFelde

The Walleye is delish!!! Lunch or dinner!

Jeb Bass

Great variety of foods. Great service and great drinks.

Cynthia Conn

Had all you can eat fish wasn't that good..

Stacy Tiffin

Always great food and service. Nice decor but casual.

Michael Church

OK, hard to rate three businesses rolled into one. 178 restaurant is great, atmosphere, service, menu. 178 bar and bowling alley , good enough. Small town, if you like people watching, yeah. 178 bar b que, meh. In the entire area, KT'S in Gassville is the best, although 178 BBQ beans had my nose running. As a left coastie born and bred, Arkansas BBQ is not all that. Thicker, hotter sauce, ya bunch a crackers, thanx. ..

Chelsee Brandon

The servers were amazing. Each course was delicious and I never had an empty drink. I highly recommend this restaurant for the quality of the servers, atmosphere, and food!

Brent Milton

Good food, friendly staff, romantic atmosphere.

Nathanael Ferguson

We live locally and have given them multiple chances, each time thinking “maybe it’s an off night for them”. In reality ever dining experience has been subpar. The service is lacking and the food was terribly cooked. We recently had 2 bugs crawl out of a salad and the server acted like it was normal and not an issue. We are a younger couple and I normally tip WAY more than expected but in this case it’s a different story. We watched the server attend to multiple tables with more aged customers as we were left sitting and not paid any attention to. Save your money and go to McDonald’s or any other restaurant than 178 club.

Pamela Cross

The food was great, service was top notch, quiet atmosphere and a varied menu with everything from sandwiches to seafood platters. Upscale for this rural area, but not intimidating. They have a brunch on Sunday. I believe that there is also a BBQ joint that's very casual, in a section of the back of the building. I have not been to that, so cannot comment on it, but if the food is as good as it is in the restaurant proper, it should be good! There is a bar with dining besides the larger dining room. It is in an older building and has been serving many, many years, so the bathrooms are smaller than people are used to now days. It's always been an enjoyable experience each time I've been there!

Kim Klatt

Good food, great staff, a little over priced, but was nice first time experience.

Grim Reaper

Ted is the best

Mitch Mitchell

Excellent service and fantastic steaks.

Paul Sher

Fantastic food. Friendly staff. Great atmosphere. Awesome artwork! :) I literally eat here every day when I am in town.

Joseph Chynoweth

One the best bar restaurants in North Arkansas. Imaginative cocktails and great dishes, with the ability to prepare your day's catch. Make this the place to check out in the lake district around Mountain Home.

Linda Rehnberg

Celebrated our 40th anniversary dinner there with steak and lobster. It was excellent as was the service!

Shawna Milligan

Excellent food, wonderful service, and fun friendly atmosphere.

Ryan Mcmahan

kristy wells

we were visiting here, and stopped in for a couple drinks, the artwork and feel of this place was amazing!!! they had a jazz vibe going on ...highly recommend ..menu looked astounding but we only had an appetizer ...

John Searcy

Excellent food, great service. Their London Broil is incredible.

Kila Martin

Asked for a medium well California cheeseburger when I got it there was hardly any guacamole and it was charred to a crisp couldn't even eat it.

Hope for Horses

No place better. Food is top shelf, great variety, wait staff knows how to make a night out perfect!

Ken Klinckman

Loved this place, met a friend here for a bite and a beer. Was impressed

David Chappell

Burgers are excellent. Everythinv I've tried has been very good. Highly recommended if you are in the Bull Shoals area.

donna bannister

Fantastic food and service. Never disappointed.

John Swift

Mushroom soup had way too much garlic. Ordered pasta with shrimp and scallops. Very disappointing as there were only two tiny (smaller than a marble) scallops in entire plateful!

Mitch Nielsen

Excellent food service was outstanding!

Marty Epperly

The food was great!

Gerald Bowers

Walleye was boring, tasteless.

Lance Young

One of the best places I've visited. Food is top notch and the staff is super friendly. A must visit if in the area. Night Hawk Crew recommended!

Odawagurl

Had a cheeseburger for lunch. Our was very good. The special of the day was a roast beef sandwich with horse radish. I'll try that next time!

Bill Keller

Excellent service. Lunch special of chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and white corn was also excellent. Quiet aquistics and love the fish aquarium.

Jacquelyn Genova

Love this place! We've been here 3 times now and have enjoyed it each and every time :) Great food! Great service! Great seating which is great because I have back problems. Great ambiance! Just a great place and we heard tonight that they have a shuttle from the dock to their restaurant! 5 stars! Oh and the steaks are good and cooked exactly they way you like it. I'm a fan (in case you couldn't tell) :)

Christine Valenti

Great Father's Day dinner I took my dad to 178 for a birthday/father's day dinner. We made reservations for 4 pm becuase we were not sure if it would be crowded for the holiday. There was only one other group of dinners in there and they left shortly after we arrived so the place was empty. Our server, Pam (I believe) was super nice and attentive. We chatted and got our food in reasonable time. My dad ordered the filet mignon and it was cooked perfectly. I had the turkey club and it was delicious as well. We will defiantly be coming back for special occasions!

Curt Carlin

Close to home and food is good. Prices are a little high especially for regular comfort food like a burger but their dinners are a treat.

Ben Jacquin

Best steak and pasta I've had in along time. I'd compare it with pasta from the hill in St Louis MO

Matt Klessig

The food and service was excellent. Everyone working in the bowling alley were super accommodating for my daughter's birthday party.

Marcus Chalfant

This restaurant has been excellent since it opened back in the 70s. Great food! Well maintained and kept up to date.

Myra Soapes

Excellent food Excellent service

Alexander Roubik

For quality and luxury dining, I highly recommend the 178 Club. Me and my dad have gone there many times and have enjoyed very much .They have absolutely wonderful food ranging from burgers to fresh caught trout. The staff is great. Since the 178 Club is family owned and operated, it really can't be bad. If you catch a fish and you want to have it served to you, bring it to the 178 Club because they will cook it just how you like it. Great food, great service, what more could you ask for?

George Shriver

Ask to leave to free up table for waiting guest. "Rude"

thomas chamley

Great food and service

james newman

Great food, excellent portions, fabulous wait staff. Terrible iced tea.

Paul Morose

We ordered two orders of eggs Benedict with hash browns, the poached eggs were more like hard boiled eggs the ham tasted like old burnt grease and if you could call it Hollandaise sauce was almost nonexistent and last but not least the hash browns were not eatable. We both though we were robed of $30!

Kim Owsley

Definitely not as good as it used to be. Prime rib was excellent and great server but the kitchen help needs help and was very slow.

Shawnia Millsap

Great food, wonderful wait staff.

Jim Long

Very pricey

Jake Say

Great burgers and freindly staff
