My partner and I decided to try this place out while we were on a weekend getaway. Best decision we made by far! Ashley our server was amazing! Never and empty drink, super friendly, some of the best service we had in a long time. The food was next level good! We are still raving about. Great portion sizes and a great deal for the quality you get. It wasn't too loud or too crowed even though it was a busy night and the restaurant was spotless. I honestly can't say enough good things. We will definitely be back and we will be letting all of our friends and family know to check out this fantastic spot!
Amazing tall burgers held upright by a steak knife thrusted through the sandwich. We tried the hot winged to start. Yum. And then a hula chicken and pineapple sandwich and the wagyu beef burger with the crunchy onion ring.
As a single diner sitting at the bar is the best, however I don’t want to be seated beside the cleaning rag, nor do I want to hear the woes of the schedule as servers congregate at the corner. The bartender should not be making disparaging remarks under their breath when another asks if they’d like a hand catching up before shift end. Customers pay too much money to enjoy their dinner to listen to complaining staff. The meal, however, was amazing. Kudos to the kitchen!
Amazing experience! Both of our meals were so delicious and the portions were perfect. I had the hula chicken sandwich and my husband had the grilled buffalo pulled pork sandwich. So good!! I definitely recommend coming here if you are in Penticton. We will be back for sure.
Amazing wings, crispy and very flavourful. We had the cocktail flight, 12 oz steak and mushroom Alfredo, all were great and priced fairly with good sized portions. It was a busy Friday night, service was good.
Hands down BEST nachos and wings! The free wings deal with purchase of a drink is such a good deal and I would come here everyday if I could!! Lots of flavour options for the wings. Wonderful service from Kyleah, and the lady in the kitchen really knows what she’s doing cooking the food! They have a very good drink/cocktail menu with tons of selection, and a great happy hour menu. The patio is pet friendly with misters in the summer and they bring water for your pup right away. We have been here several times and have enjoyed everything so far! Can’t wait to come back again.
Some damn good wings (sauces are delishhhh)! Tess was a wonderful server and suggested some great drink options. We ate on the patio, so we would love to go back for dinner inside to view the atmosphere! Struggled a tiny bit to find parking but the movie theatre across the street did just fine for the hour or so we were there :)
We had an absolutely fantastic time at The Black Antler in Penticton. From the moment we arrived, everything was stellar. The Lavender Buzz drink was an absolute delight—refreshing and flavorful, it’s a must-try! But the highlight of our meal was the tomahawk steak; hands down, the best steak I’ve ever had. Cooked to perfection, it was bursting with flavor. We were thrilled to find out that we could bring our dog along and enjoy the patio. The service was top-notch—our server was attentive and friendly, and the chef even went the extra mile to prepare a perfectly cooked chicken breast for our dog. It’s these little touches that make all the difference. Our kids had a great time too, enjoying their mocktails and appies. Overall, The Black Antler provided an exceptional dining experience that we’ll be talking about for a long time. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great meal in a welcoming atmosphere!
Only way to make a reservation is by email and the person who is responsible does not seem the least bit interested. I have really tried to give this place a chance but am repeatedly disappointed! You are better off anywhere else in penticton, even the free wings with a beer is not worth it!
We hosted our staff Christmas party at the Black Antler on December 15th, and it was FANTASTIC !!! There were 11 of us. We had appies of all types which we shared, and everything was delicious. For dinner we had everything from the ribs, to sandwiches and pasta dishes, and I cant say enough about how good the food was. Hot and very tasty !! The lively atmosphere made for a fun night for all of us. Our server was Meagan, and she was top notch. Her easy going attitude and fast service made the night even more fun for us. A big thank you to the Black Antler !!
Ordered a steak rare it came out medium rare and was very tough there 12oz strip. Absolutely terrible, sent it back was not asked if I wanted anything different,. They bring the bill and charge me for a steak I didn t eat. When I said I didn t want to pay for it they said they would call the cops. Absolutely the worst service.
If youre looking for a chill, laid back environment with great food, this is something youd have to try. Waygu burger, yes. Chicken sandwich, yes. Risotto balls... Double yes. Oh and the blackberry grilled cheese had no business being that good. Check it out. See for yourself!
The fries and the pulled park sandwich were real standouts. They had some interesting sandwich options and the meals were tasty.
Wings and Beer, what More can a guy ask for The dessert my friend had will have her returning. The dessert was a peaches in pastry smothered in whip cream and caramel sauce The Wings were excellent, every flavor and our waitress, Megan was exceptional. Parking: Very busy on a Friday afternoon
Really love the vibe at the black antler .The service is great ,the food is great and service of our waitresses Ashley and Machhaella .Check it out
Really good food such a good service.
It took an hour for our order . Then it took an addition 15 minutes for my order? It was fries and chicken strips which was the same as another person at our table? The food was over rated.
Good food nothing amazing. Odd staff asked us inside or outside but then proceeded to speak with another staff and came back and asked us to just pick a table. It was so jarring that it threw me off completely.
My rescue dawg Jody Foster and I went to the Black Antler Pub yesterday for lunch. I had the Wagyu burger and Jody had a chicken breast. The burger was outstanding and the service was excellent!
We had an amazing steak sandwich cooked to perfection. With a big crowd our waitress did a great job. Thank you
Large group of us on Friday evening. Waitress was awesome and food was delicious. Will definitely be back on my next trip to Penticton.
If I could put ZERO STARS I would have. My friend and I sat and watched as the staff chit chatted amongst themselves watching us out the window, I proceeded to call to check what time they stop serving food at and they hung up on me so I tried calling back multiple times to which they never answered the phone as they stood there and chatted and watched me out the window so me and my friend proceeded to go into the establishment and we re looking at the signs on the door as per the sign as for the information on the Internet that says that they close at midnight and as soon as we hit the door, we close we close at 10:45 it just nothing has been updated so the sign in the door and the information on the Internet is all wrong but you don t close that you close at 10:45 and not at midnight very, very disappointed with the staff and the way that my friend retreated and I will not be going back to the black and I will be letting everybody know to not go to this establishment. What a disgrace to Penticton black antler is.
Enjoyed the wings and Guinness on tap . Ashley was an excellent server. Thank you! Food
Well situated establishment in the heart of Pentictons Food & Drink district. Casual setting with friendly service. Its quite popular and therefore can get very busy, especially during their renowned Happy Hour, where a pound of delicious wings are free with any drink purchase of $9 or more. A pint of Guinness is only $6 which is almost unheard of. Many delicious items on offer for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The Wagyu spaghetti is great. The Black Antler is a definite go-to year round.
Great place to go with friends
Great happy hour today. Service was excellent, good pub food . Our server Sonja was excellent. I had very yummy pulled pork quesadillas.
Best burger I ve ever had. Ari hooked it up with the nachos and wagyu burger. 10/10 would go again. Food : 5/5
Best. Happy hour. Ever. The wine, cocktail, and local craft beer selection is awesome, and you just can t beat a free pound of very delicious wings with a $9 bevie purchase. They also happen to be the best wings in town, I love the buffalo, a hot bbq mix.so good. The teriyaki is also house made unique and yummy. I hear the burger and beer is a great choice too, but can t get passed free wins haha. The service is good and efficient, especially considering how slammed they can get at happy hour with only a few staff serving. Don t expect a fine dining experience, it s more of a pub vibe. Music is great. I recommend inside as the seats are really comfy. Outside patio is not my favorite, seats are always either too hot in summer or cold.in shoulder season and always uncomfortable. One of my favorite pub:restaurants in town.
I went there for my birthday dinner with my friend, Hailey, our server was amazing! She surprised me with a birthday dessert as well, how sweet. Food is a 10/10 as well !! Vegetarian options: Loved the amazing alfredo pasta
Hailey is an amazing server and a Gem . Overall it was an awesome experience
We were thrilled to enjoy the Black Antler two nights in a row. The mussels were delicious and their house salad is more than just a tossed bag salad - really yummy. We were impressed by their good wine list, too. It was our servers last day and I am certain she will be missed.
Very good food and excellent service
Very nice place for dinner and drinks in Penticton. The food and drinks were amazing, as was the atmosphere! 10/10 would recommend
Delicious food and drinks. And my dog loved chicken breast. Great atmosphere and quick service. Two paws up! We will definitely be back.
Amazing food and service!
I will start this reveiw with a rave as the free wings with a drink happy hour special is a great deal and the wings were good, unfortunatly thats where we should have stopped! We decided to order dinner after the wings and both my husbands and my dinner were terrible! My husbands Philly cheese steak sandwich being a total disgusting, BBQ sauced mess that was basically not edible due to the sloppy mess it was and the coupius amounts of hot BBQ sauce on it. It was mainly peppers and sauce with a few pieces of unrecognisable meat drenched in orange sauce, It was terrible! Im not sure when BBQ sauce became a thing on a philly cheese steak. The menu reads that it has hot sauce on it not a BBQ sauce sandwich with more peppers than meat! I had the spicy chicken sandwich, the fried piece of chicken was about 40% edible! Over cooked meat with the majority being breading on possibly very over cooked chicken breast jerky, it also had no spice and huge pickle ends on it that were far too big to be on a buger/sandwich My ceasar salad was ok but our friend also had the ceasar salad with his dinner and didnt eat it due to it being too soggy with dressing! The othere two meals came with cold over cooked, over salted fries that no one ate either. The service was just ok, the atmosphere in the cloudy plastic, stuffy loud tent was not the best either, the table was small and uneven. Anyways it was a dispointing experience to say the least and I will not be back. Its unfortunate as we came from Kelowna to meet with old friends and have a nice dinner. I did put effort into finding a good place to eat based on reveiws and Im sad to report that the reveiws here are not correct based on my visit yesterday! Please do better, was a total waste of money and left hungry.
Food was great and I was happy with the service as well, would go back if in the area.
Good place for couples, small groups and older children.
Really great meal and service was top notch. Steak sandwich was perfect, shrimp pasta was delicious and Ashley s service on a busy night was great! See you next time!
Terrible service!!! We re told no reservations, they wouldn t let us sit at bar while we wait. Pretty sure young girl allowed friends to sit in seats while we waited, then told couldn t sit in empty table as we had to wait for another waitresses section. Absolutely ridiculous and will never ever go back!! We all like to spend $$ but won t be at this place nor recommending it to anyone I know. So sad. Waitresses were also very very argumentative. They should go get trained by the neighborhood or the hub staff!!! No soap in washrooms. It is being ran by young people who don t seem to care!!! We were told the manager made reservations hence the empty tables. But the rudeness of your staff was beyond disgusting!!
Visited for Sunday brunch; this place did not disappoint. The baguettes used (instead of English muffins) for the eggs Benedict I order would have been enough to enjoy on its own. The hollandaise was perfectly seasoned. I got the eggs medium when I should have got them soft, but that s on me. It was a great place, with a great vibe. The staff were also just wonderful. Highly recommend.
Party of 5 a celebration for a birthday. We went on a Saturday afternoon it was very busy but we were seated promptly two of us ordered the mini Antler burger it was quite tasty very filling . I ordered Yam fries and they were surprisingly good service was very good the waitress was always there filling out water glass and asking if we needed anything. This is a smaller place near the Beach so it gets very busy seating is indoors or on the patio. My only concern was access to washroom was somewhat challenging for someone with physical challenges.
We went to the Black Antler post Ironman, Monday after having read so many positive reviews, we were terribly disappointed. The service: honestly terrible. I think they were understaffed for the day after ironman. Only noticed 2 servers total for the entire place, which was very full of patrons. Took 15 minutes for water, 45 minutes to order. Our waitress was polite but very frazzled. The food: the food was mediocre. I had the pork ribs. Out of the 5 of us, mine was by far the best. Very good, tons of fries and salad. One had risotto balls, they ok but mushy. One had quesadilla, only ok, but overcooked. One had muscles, which were just ok. No shucking bowl, and the juice was off. Reportedly decent but a little subpar for the price. And one had bacon mac and cheese. 30 minutes after ordering she was told they had no mac noodles and she was getting spaghetti noodles instead. She wasn t given as an option to change to another meal. It was told. Bearing in mind this is an 1h15m ish after sitting. This meal was terrible. Couldnt eat it because it was dry. They offered a very small discount only. 90% of it was tossed. Overall, we wouldn t go back for the price we paid. It was pretty disappointing but maybe we just came on a bad night? Not sure, but again, for the price, we wouldn t be willing to try again.
The burger was absolutely fire, and the staff were super polite and attentive, 10/10 will dine again
Went for dinner last night at the black antler, had the wagyu Burger and fries, was the best burger I ve had in years, A very cool atmosphere, the service was excellent, I highly recommend if you re in Penticton go to the black antler, I definitely will be coming back,
Food was amazing, service was so bad.
Fantastic Burgers!!!
Ashley was amazing! The cocktail flight was so great.
Labor Day weekend Friday night greeted by a very very grumpy hostess. She needs to go work in the back of the house. She did not even try to fake a smile .Thank god our server was nicer and the food was amazing. She would not be allowed to work as a greeter at any big city restaurant.
Excellent experience, the only issue was that they only had one chef on so we had to wait a while both to be seated and to get our food. However, the food was very delicious and our experience overall was fantastic. I would recommend this location to all.
We were a group of 8 people and after a short wait we got our table at around 5:30 pm. The service was friendly and the waiting time for the order was short; there were also a lot of waitresses there that day. The Full Rack is a very large portion, just right for big appetites, fall of the bone but without being too soft. Unfortunately it had some larger cartilage in the meat which made it more difficult to eat, otherwise some good quality food.
The food here is so good. Would have give 5 stars for everything except they charged me $2.50 for a side that was listed by the waitress as one that came with the meal. Not a big deal but should probably let people know theres an extra charge. Service was fast and the menu has a great selection. Been there for brunch and dinner, both were excellent. Will definitely be back. Love they offer drink specials and their Happy hour is such a deal!! Love this place!!
Food was great but the server was not.
We had a lovely visit to the Black Antler recently, after a day at the lake. The pub was recommended to us by a local who goes there often for the incredible Happy Hour wings special! With a $9 beverage, you get a dozen wings FREE from a choice of a variety of sauces. I chose the Siracha Honey-Lime, and it was tasty, but the wings were overdone. Could be my fault as I ordered them Crispy - which our local friend told us was the way to go. Regardless, the highlight, for me, was my mocktale: I ordered the Wicked Apple served to me in those copper Moscow Mule mugs. So cool/so refreshing/so good. And the big bonus overall, was the cheerful service we got on the patio :) We would *highly recommend* Happy Hour at the Black Antler any day - especially after a day at the beach!
Black Antler burgers for lunch today, if you havent tried them, its a MUST. So good
A go to stop while you re in Penticton!
Always excellent service, food and atmosphere! Thank you to Dan and the crew for taking care of us
Best juicy burg Ive had in while. this place is beauty
We had the burgers for a staff lunch. Absolutely AMAZING!
Enjoyed lunch on the patio in the September sunshine. Had the teriyaki rice bowl and enjoyed every forkful. So many delicious veggies done just right in a sauce that was perfectly seasoned, as was the chicken. Almost decided to lick the bowl!!!
Service was poor, we waited an hour for our food for only half of our parties meals to come out. Deep fried cauliflower was 80% burnt breading, 20% soggy cauliflower. Chicken wings were not tossed in the sauce, (the plate was coated with the wings just placed on top?) and there were 2 random French fries mixed in with our food. Garlic prawn pasta was just plain noodles with garlic on top. Other patrons were also unhappy with the service and we saw a few others leave without barely touching their meals. Might have been an off night for the service but the food was below average pub food. The only pro is that this restaurant has a dog friendly patio and dog menu but I think I would have preferred the dogs wagyu beef patty over the food I was served.
A nice place to grab lunch with a tasty selection of food and beer. Lots of competition for the craft beer market in this area and the Black Antler is a competitive option.
We absolutely LOVE Black Antler. Want a great burger? Come here. Want a great happy hour? Or delicious cocktails? Yup, its here. It is simply the best place in town with their food and drink options, as well as their fabulous staff!!
This place has a great service to be a Canadian place, the food is soooo good and they are fast serving it
Lots of drinks available both alcoholic and non. Appies and mains were both very good. Recommend the cheese steak ! And can never go wrong with the Huntsman for a big crew. Brunch: French toast with apples was amazing with tons of flavor. The Uncle Buck Breakfast was more than enough for anyone. Great prices as well for how much food you get.
Waited for 20 minutes after being seated in the heat of the day and didn t even get a water. Paid for parking and decided to leave. I m pregnant and very thirsty what s up with this nonsense. Horrible customer service
A large group of us come weekly It is by far the best happy hour in town 28 bucks gets you 2 beers a pound of wings and burger and fries it s unbelievable I would also say it is the best food in penticton
I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Black Antler, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely amazing, leaving a lasting impression on my taste buds. The brunch menu was perfect, offering a delightful variety of dishes that catered to all tastes. The pulled pork poutine was hands down the best I ve ever had the flavors were rich and perfectly balanced. The Wagyu burger was another standout, cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The BBQ thigh chicken was tender and juicy, a true delight. We also tried the Big Buck, nachos, and waffles, each dish showcasing the chef s skill and creativity. Every bite was a testament to the quality and care put into the food. The waitress s attention was impeccable, making us feel welcome and well-cared for throughout our meal. Her friendly demeanor and prompt service added to the overall positive experience. In summary, The Black Antler is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy a fantastic meal in a warm and inviting atmosphere. The combination of amazing food, excellent service, and a perfect brunch menu makes it a standout choice. I can t wait to return and explore more of their delicious offerings.
Everything is great, plenty of parking but it is awkward. Food is delicious I recommend the wagyu burger
Sat on the patio and had some great weather and it was an incredible atmosphere! Great drinks, I d suggest grabbing the Antler sour, it was a very impressive in house drink. This place is especially awesome, with their beer and wings deal. You can walk out with a great beer and decent amount of wings, for only 10$! Highly suggest, a great local pub!!
Terrible service would not recommend. The place had 3 table with people and the small group beside us got there food when we got there and finished before we even got our drinks ordered, after our waitress took our drink order it tool 15 minutes exactly we got 3 drinks a sour lime vodka (not bad) a non alcohol mango drink that tasted like mango juice that was watered down and last but not least a rocket pop drink that tasted like chemicals and sprite had a child, The food that took extremely long was not great, The chicken wings were good, the pulled pork poutine was okay the pork was dry and tasted like pizza, not worth the wait or money. Dont come here
Good food, nice cozy patio (pet friendly!! ), pleasant atmosphere. Definitely will go back again ;)
Burgers look better than they taste. That chicken burger was so dry and that side poutine is exactly like a McD poutine. Too expensive for what you get. Also not safe at all for people with coeliac disease.
The only thing that was good was the free wings with the drink. Sat us at the front with our dogs that are well behaved because they stated only 2 tables for dogs yet while we were sitting there 2 gentlemen cam in and the table beside us was open and they let they have a better table not the 2 that were allowed. Where the Sat us was a puddle of dirty water and when we asked when leaving waiter answer was I didnt seat you
We were greeted with a rushed sit where ever youd like and they instantly went on to another task. I instantly remove a star for over priced pop. 4.25 for a pop and never asked for a refill? Stop punishing non drinkers. With that said our cocktail was poorly made. The burgers both chicken and beef were great. The restaurant seemed staffed extremely well. Lots of bussers cleaning tables and delivering meals for waiters. Everyone was acting quite dramatic and chaotic for no apparent reason. Our meal was delivered by a busser, our waitress delivered our drinks and was only seen again when it was time to pay. Inside was extremely hot, patio was much nicer.
Every thing was absolutely great but the chicken strips taste like raw fish
Great food, great service. Friday nights are busy so expect to wait or get there earlier.
Wonderful service, great food and good drinks. The pulled pork poutine was outstanding and their ceasars are really good.
I was trying to decide if I should write this review We came in with about 20 people, sitting at different tables. Everyone waited approximately 55 minuted before our food order was taken. Once the food arrived, it was great. Amazing value for the amount of food we got with the Uncle Buck . Once we ate, we waited approximately another 45 minutes for our bills (they were incorrect) and to our surprise, came an auto-gratuity charge for 20% without telling us. I was a server for a long time. I understand the need for auto-gratuity, especially if servers have to tip out on bill size. However - our group all sat at different tables and we weren t eating together. We just knew each other and we weren t all paying together so the auto-gratuity loses its original purpose. It should also be mandatory that you tell people about the auto-gratuity before they order their food. All in all - restaurant has a lot of potential. I m sure with the right server - we d have a great experience. But our server was in visible distress over the concept of serving 4-5 tables at a time.
The food was good, however Michaella made our experience amazing. She dealt so well with our 16 too birthday shenanigans. 5 stars was only deserving because of her! 10/10 would go back
Terrible! We tried to go for lunch today. We got seated at a tiny table with no room and were tippey. It didnt matter, though. We sat for over 10 minutes, and no one came to serve us. We asked the hostesses if she could send someone to take our order. Waited another 4 minutes, then walked out. The restaurant was not even full, and they seemed to have enough staff, but obviously, they did not want our business. Would NOT recommend!!
Food was amazing. We had the prosciutto and Brie burger. Service was great and a nice atmosphere! Kid-friendliness: They brought crayons and a coloring page kids menu.
Waygu burger was the best my son ever had.
When we are in town, this is our go-to for Happy hour. Dietary restrictions: I have a shellfish allergy and they ensured my food was prepared accordingly Food : 5/5 |
Excellent meal, I had the cheesesteak. Good portions and friendly service.
I have eaten here twice and would easily come back again. The 12oz New York was one of the best steaks I ve ever had.
Great experience. Celiac fryer. Wings and nachos were delicious. Highly recommend this spot! They told us that the owners wife was celiac and that their staff is super knowledgable. Dietary restrictions: Really good for gluten free.
Great food and service however the seating could be more comfortable.
The black antler is hands down one of the best places to eat in Penticton. Theyre Wagyu burgers are absolutely phenomenal and are easily two of the best burgers in British Columbia, if not Canada, hands down. Prices are super reasonable and they have an amazing happy hour promo where you can get free wings if you buy a drink! Dont miss what is an amazing bar/restaurant in an amazing area of Penticton!
We picked this place entirely based on the pet friendly patio and had no idea what to expect but the food was superb and the service was great
We went here for a meal a couple of nights ago. The lavender lemonade was not good at all .there was no sign of lavender flavour in it. We ordered the Brie cheese appie, which was good and the only reason why I m giving 2 stars. Onto the main course. We ordered the chicken fettuccini Alfredo. Was such a disappointment. It was barely edible due to being overly salty. I ordered a drink when my meal came out and did not receive it. Server didn t come to ensure our meal was ok until it was done. I asked him if he forgot about my drink and turns out he did. Brought us our bill and STILL no drink. So now I ve eaten a salty pasta dish in very hot weather and still haven t had a drink to go with it. He offered to give me a pop in a take out cup ..no thanks, I ll go elsewhere. They did take 25% off each food item, but nothing else offered and we didn t eat the entire pasta which we split between us. It wasn t exactly busy when we were there either. Will never return and won t be recommending this place to anyone. Atmosphere gets a one star because all the tables on the patio were slanted and the chairs are metal, which aren t idea in the hot weather and sun.
This place is exactly as described. Simple ingredients, elevated to unreal bites. Best brunch Ive had, ever. Food
I would have given a 5 star rating but 2 were removed because of the attitude of the host Charlie. From the first time we walked in the restaurant, she never smiled at us, but that is not the point. She told us that with a dog we had to sit at the no-covered patio (on a 36 Celsius afternoon at 4pm on a sunny day). When we requested to sit at the covered patio, she told us dog cannot stay under the covered patio. I insisted to sit at a table right at the edge of the covered areas with the dog sitting next to us but was under a no-covered area and promised my dog will stay where he is. She was very unwilling to let us sit there but reminding us again that my dog could not pass the line with an annoyed face. The point is: later, she let a couple with a black dog sitting right inside the covered patio, and that dog can walk freely between tables in that area (see attached photos). Can I say that she is discriminating? Yes! Besides that I would say the food is excellent and our waitress Tess is friendly and attentive.
Great place to eat. Their burgers rock! Especially the wagyu. Dietary restrictions: They have a few ways of doing gluten or dairy free. Daughter has allergies so we needed to do lettuce bun. Kinda lame there is a $2 charge for that instead of a bun. Order with no bun and you get lettuce for free. Fries are fine for all the allergies.
Good food, great service. Only thing I would change are the wooden boards the burgers are served on. Theyre too narrow... My fries kept falling off.
It was hot as hell inside but the food more than made up for it!!! The Sweet Tart drink and BBQ chicken thigh sandwich were delicious! Will definitely be returning on a less hot day.
Im so glad i didnt buy fatburger and decided to dine here. The wagyu beef burger is pretty much the equivalent of an orgasm in the food world
Great burgers. Best in town. Nice folks and great selection of craft beers.
Great cocktails! They have a flight that is delicious!. I had the mussels with a Caesar salad. Tasty. Nice seating outside. Friendly service.
The bacon grilled cheese is what I have ordered the last 4-5 times we have been here, it holds up every time :)
We enjoyed the Wagyu Beef Burger, the Brie and Prosciutto Wagyu Burger, with Poutine.
Flavours were good. My issue is that we ordered mussels for $20 and nearly half were inedible (counted 8 out of 18 mussels). NOTE to staff: Mussels that dont open are quite possibly dead and decomposing for an unknown period of time prior to cooking and recommended not for consumption. This should be reported as food and health safety since you decide to serve this and patrons may unknowingly attempt to consume. I kindly let the server know but she did not apologize or offer any ways of compensation. We were here for a wedding and told everyone in our party to AVOID this place.
If youre looking for a nice restaurant for a solo meal or some time with friends, I highly recommend the Black Antler. The ambiance is welcoming, relaxing, and casual. The patio is dog-friendly. Drinks are amazing with a wide variety of options, and the food is delicious. If youre a dessert junkie, I highly recommend the peaches in a blanket. Theres fruit, so its healthy-ish, right?
My wife and I stumbled across this little gem as a last minute pick for dinner. The staff was very friendly and the BBQ ribs were delicious. We are from Ontario and we were both impressed with the BC-centric wine list. It is nice to see restaurants support local. Dietary restrictions: Lots of gluten free items.
Burgers were awesome!
Food and cocktails fab
Pretty hard to screw up chicken wings. Caesars were good! Food
Amazing food and service. The atmosphere is also great. It would go along way to maybe stocking some 18 yr Glenlivet. But that s just a personal preference. I highly recommend. Well done.
The vegan burger is amazing, I order it everytime. Husband enjoyed the steak sandwich.
Absolutely nothing special about the meal, chili tasted like, someone dropped the box of chili seasoning in it.
Would definitely go back
Delicious food, dog friendly patio, loved our lunch here. We both had burgers & they were delicious, as was everything else we had. Recommend!!
We just did it again! The Huntsman is incredible! Ema - our server was awesome too! So good - loved it all! You gotta try this meal out! OK folks This was amazing! We pre-ordered the Huntsman - the ultimate meal!!! The meal included the Tomahawk steak, 6 racks of ribs, 12 shrimp, buffalo colliflower wings, smashed baby potatoes, fries, mushrooms, baked beans, koleslaw salad, and home made Mac n cheese. So Unbelievably Good! Nothing was even just pretty good - it was all totally amazing! Chelsea was our amazing server - thanks for making the evening fun & easy going. I will highly recommend this meal to anyone that wants to spoil themselves & 3 - 7 other friends. What a ton of fun!!! The first picture was of the full meal on the long wooden board and us before we started. The second picture is of us after making some serious damage on the meal - but we still had over 3lbs of food left over to enjoy later. Highly Recommended!!! Such a fun evening.
Love that place . Very good hamburgers.
Great brunch for a reasonable price. Will be back again to try some dinner entrees.
I like this place. It s dark, like the name suggests. On the bright side, the service was great, provided by genuine, friendly servers who don t follow a script (thank goodness). I liked the energy of the place and seeing how servers interacted with the kitchen and with customers. This says a lot about the management as well. The menu is good and I enjoyed my meal. Also a great beer selection. The Black Antler will be a regular stop when visiting Penticton. Well done.
I tried to make a reservation but they take first come first serve, which is fine. We, a family of 3 reached there by 5:30 pm yesterday and the lady at the desk, Charlie, said it will take 50 mins to get a table. We waited for 50 mins and went back to check, tables were empty, no message was sent to us, no apologies, and she just forgot to message. Didnt like the service. We felt unwelcomed.
Delicious burger and flight beers were great. Staff and service was amazing!
Great dinner experience! They have gluten free options and were accommodating of my needs. The mussels were great! I recommend the teriyaki rice bowl as well! Our server Chelsea was so great! We just loved her! Thanks for a great evening! Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options!
Good spot for a beer and a burger!
Had the waygu burger with house salad and it was great. Our server was excellent
Amazing old fashioned and wagyu burger
Another great lunch at the Antler. Service all around us was amazing. Food
Great place to hang, fantastic service great food
This pub style restaurant has great food and the service was wonderful. The atmosphere was boisterous and lively, lots of fun.
We stopped in for lunch on the Easter long weekend. Despite being short staffed the staff did a great job serving us and the food was fantastic. Burger on a cheese bun 10/10!
It was truly amazing experience Would do again and bring friends and family Food
Michaella was an excellent server. I came in with a client for lunch, she was so attentive and very kind. The food was delicious and the cook even came to ask a question from us. Ive never had better service anywhere in Penticton. A HUGE THANK YOU GOES OUT TO THE STAFF
Came for Happy Hour and turns out they have free wings with the purchase of a drink. I was expecting the wings to be teeny, but they were so tasty and nice sized. The tunes were great and the waitresses Michaella and Ashly were having a blast while serving the customers, which made everything so fun! Great atmosphere and good food and drinks!
Server Kayla was GREAT! Great wine & wings
Super friendly, great service, yummy food. Gf options very much appreciated.
Loved this place! Was really impressed with the wide variety of food and cocktail list! Everything tasted delicious! Can t wait to go back!
Was just okay. Mussels had broken shell all through them. Staff standing around everywhere. Windows are dirty and floor was all greasy and slippery.
It was freezing cold in there and way too loud!
Wagu burger was amazing!
Lunch with ex Good California chicken burger and prawns pasta Super friendly service But little bit disappointed about bowl of house salad it s at least one week old Food : 3/5
Some of the worst service ive ever experienced. We arrived at 11:30am for brunch, our food didnt come out until 12:50pm and when it did it was cold and clearly had been sitting for a while. In the nearly 2 hours of us sitting there we were waited on maybe 5 times and each time items were completely forgotten. Tables around us who arrived long after we had been sitting got their food and drinks before we did, we ordered drinks waited 20 mins all for a table next to us order and receive the exact same drink we ordered. 1/10 some of the worst service ive ever had
Took my Mom and hubby for a brunch/lunch and never leave disappointed! Ashley was so amazing and took such good care of us. Despite it being Sunday with limited staff they still took the time to make sure we always had what we needed and that we were happy. The ricebowl with the steak is probably my favorite dish in town! We cant even eat at fast food places for how much we paid. So happy and thankful for them!
Food was excellent and was busy wasnt big on their prosses but worked out
The food was overpriced, overly salty, burnt and greasy. The drinks tasted horrific and definitely not what was advertised. They never have the coconut prawns either. 100% would never eat here again. Paid for 2 drinks we didnt even drink because they were not good. The inside also had a trail of smoke or haze from the kitchen.
Great service and atmosphere!
Great place ...excellent service
The best Tomahawk you could have hands down. Coming back for more food. Great place.
Huge portions, great service, and great atmosphere.
A good pub atmosphere...Tuesday afternoon and 75% of the table were occupied Great burgers and chicken sandwich Beers is cold and a good variety too!
Big thank you to Chelsea for the happy hour suggestion! Your burger special for $7 with the purchase of a beer is amazing!!!
Love everything about the place. Were regulars
Came in with the wife after a show for a drink and found them to be reasonably priced,but they have some amazing deals during happy hour. Returned a few days later with friends for dinner. All our orders were very good and filling. Food : 5/5
If I could rate 0 stars, I would. This is nothing more than an overhyped and underwhelming experience. Food was insanely greasy, our server Chelsey seemed unhygienic and frantic, she also was very rushed and had very little time to be with our table, she was overbearing at times. I also overheard some servers talking about how they dislike poor tippers and think that if people don t have the budget to tip well they shouldn t come out at all, didn t expect to hear college girls shaming the poor members of society. Avoid eating here at all costs, next time I m in Penticton I ll eat vomit covered newspaper instead of eating at the Black Antler.
Amazing food. Will go again !
Owners truck alarm goes off every half hour. Love living by this place :/
Incredible restaurant! Work pals and I come here every Friday for happy hour wings (best wings in town, by the way) and stay for the incredible atmosphere! Waygu burger is amazing! Also, the perfect group dinner The Huntsman! 56oz tomahawk with so much food you re guaranteed to be unbuckling your belt by the end!
A bit expensive but worth every penny.
Food was tasty! The wagu burger was yum yum and so were the risotto balls
Really enjoyed our evening out at The Black Antler.. Enough to come leave a review! The service was great, enjoyed all of our food and the atmosphere. Will definitely return.
Yum yum
Huge shout out to Dan! Ribs and wings were amazing
Best ribs I ve ever had
Great food, fast and friendly service, the happy hour is a must.
Excellent experience. Friendly staff. Delicious food. Bring your friends and enjoy.
First time visit and will be back! With the high cost of eating out, this is worth it! OMG! the blackberry bacon grilled cheese is to die for and the wagu beef burger is amazing!
Ordered the Huntsman. Highly recommend it. Service was top shelf. Atmosphere was top shelf. Penticton Honda Team rates 10/10. Food
Ive visited several times and the food it very good. The pulled pork quesadilla is amazing and their Sriracha honey wings are a definite must try. If you are ordering a burger or sandwich, make sure you come hungry because they are huge! Our servers have been on point and attentive every time as well amd that makes it an even better experience. The only complaint I have are the uncomfortable chairs but Ill make do when the food is that good.
1st time at The Black Antler, great, friendly service, wings and a Guinness, Ill be back
Service was great and food was good. The wine is way over priced for what it is. What is driving me to leave this review though, was the ambience. If you have a small bar with an open kitchen, I really don t think the kitchen should be playing their music during dinner service. In one ear I could hear the pop playlist in the bar. In the other ear it was heavy metal coming from the kitchen. It really took away from my evening, hearing the two different playlists at the same time all night. Not only that but right before I left I could hear two of the cooks talking about how they couldn t believe no one s told them to turn the music down yet. Which to me, signifies that they know what they are doing is not right. Ambience is a big factor when choosing a bar or restaurant and in my experience there is usually a manager who is aware of the lights, music, temperature, etc. so whoever is in charge should maybe be conscious of that.
Amazing experience, amazing food.
Amazing food! Great service! Cool elegant, dark decore. 100% recommend the wagyu burger! Food
We rolled in to town about 9:00 on a Tuesday evening and wanted a good pub dinner. I knew many friends (mostly locals) have recommended Black Antler so we decided to drop in. They had some good IPAs on tap so we were happy. We ordered some Pulled Pork Tacos to share and then decided on mains Teriyaki Rice Bowl with chicken and a (I was so surprised to see this on the menu) Wagyu Beef Burger. Everything was very good. The Wagyu burger is a must try, very tasty and quite filling. Shaylynn (sp?) our server, was very helpful. Personally, I was also pleased to see that they have a pretty decent wine list. Bonus!
Was a very comfy place with great beer choices. Happy hour of big beer with free wings is amazing
It really bothers me, no matter the service, they still expect 18% tip! I ordered mussels,, which I order often so I feel qualified rating them here........ little to no sauce, and I dont feel they were fresh....... I waited so long for my drink I went to the bar and picked it up myself........ but of course..... 18% tip! Oh oh and is it a chef or a line cook who is preparing your meal? They still charge big city prices.
Atmosphere is super fun ! Great food and service. Offering a brunch and a regular menu. Lots of choices. 4 different dishes were brought to our table. All had ample portions and was wonderfully cooked and delicious. Highly recommend . Vegetarian options: Im not a vegetarian but there are great options. Parking: Free parking on the side of building. And paid parking on street in front of Black Antlers Wheelchair accessibility: Main level entry, no stairs. Access right from parking lot and in front of The Black Antler.
Love this restaurant
This was the best pasta Ive eaten in a very long time! I had the garlic butter prawn pasta !!!!! Served with a simple 6oz blasted church chardonnay !!! The outside patio was very loud but choosing to sit inside on a busy night was much better! I have a regret of not getting any pictures of my lovely meal . And no name to go with the incredible service. Thank you it was my first time and Id like to go back!!!
Their wings are good and thumb for the Chilli!! Great Chilli. Service was great this last Sunday too
Great food and service.
Came in around 2:00 and live the atmosphere it was a little busy. Service was fast and quick I got the big buck and this burger tasted wonderful! Everything was cooked to my liking. Bathrooms are very clean and the restaurant was clean! Chelsea was my server
Delicious cocktails- recommend the ginger pear sour-yum! All the food is made from scratch and soooo delicious. Great atmosphere: hip and moody with great music (80s rock). Attentive and friendly service. Dietary restrictions: Menu is clearly marked with plenty of gluten free options and some Vegan options too.
First wait staff was almost non-existent. Next one was amazing. Food was good pub food.
Food is fantastic I had a burger and it was cooked perfectly with a nice grill and one of the best house salads, those a little to much dressing.
Fantastic food, the choizo spinach pasta was amazing.
Sonja, and Chelsea K what more can I say? They were a great start to our day. We intended for a walk but ended up drinking 5 mimosas, wow eh? L
Chelsea the manager was an amazing server! Food was spectacular. Will definitely be back.
One of our favorites
Chelsea was AMAZING! Took care of me and my allergies- super fun and easy going. Efficient and great at her job!
I was served by Chelsea and she was fantastic! Super personable and friendly, truly made us feel welcomed and cared for. Absolutely recommend her and the place!
Do not recommend the Antler cheesesteak... Overcooked meat, dry bun (no sauce), not very many veggies, little cheese. The chili fries and Wagyu burger were good, according to the other people I was with. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free buns available as well as vegan cheese.
Our friends and us had a fantastic meal every thing was so good from the appetizers to the main course our steaks, were exactly the way we like them. And the service was amazing we never had to wait for drinks and the attention to our needs was anticipated before we asked. Parking: Lots of parking and free to use
Great staff and great food specials!! Would highly recommend
Service was spectacular. First time here and won t be my last! Chelsea and Emma were on fire!
The black antler has excellent chefs and service who take their time to craft not only excellent food for their guests but also create a welcoming and relaxed environment to enjoy with friends.
Hands down the best service and food in all of penticton
The food was amazing! I will definitely return.
