Reviews of The Black Antler (Restaurant)

Jason Hobbs

I've been eating here since the doors opened. The staff, atmosphere, and food keeps me coming back. The menu is full of variety, and options for many. I've tried just about everything on the menu, and always leave satisfied and full. I'm also a weekend regular for their brunch. On my most recent visit I tried the new addition to the menu, New York striploin with roasted potatoes. It was AMAZING! Finally a place in Penticton where you can get a top notch steak while enjoying some great tunes, and awesome selection of local beers.

Austin Rosenfeld

The new guys on the block! Very busy which is great! Our server was extremely nice and did her best. The bartenders were extremely busy but if you're offering a cocktail experience then please have your drinks coming out quicker and more consistent. Food was great. Could possibly do less skinny fries or change to thicker cut fries. Grilled cheese was awesome. I hope with more time they become a staple in Penticton. Definately have our support.

My favorite place to dine. Has a 5star tasting food. For a 3star price.

Joe Mcleod

Great food, friendly and efficient service, unique delicious menu and awesome beer with fantastic happy hour deals. We loved the atmosphere and overall just a great place. Definitely will be returning.

Kevin Michie

Went last night for supper. Was seated with water but then sat there for at least 15 minutes before anyone came to our table to offer drinks. Hardly anyone in the restaurant. $12 lavender vodka cocktail tasted mostly of syrup. Husband ordered spinach dip which was very bland, needed some salt or spice or something. I had the fish and chips which were $17 and nothing special. All in all very expensive for what you get and it was nothing special. I will try again another time though.

Kate Dawn

Delicious food. Great beer selection and friendly service!

Ben Seidel

A group of four decided to try the black Antler for brunch on saturday and we are really glad we went. We all enjoyed our meals. I had the smoke salmon benny. I loved how, instead of an english muffin, they placed the perfectly cooked eggs on fresh french bread that they make. My fav bennys i have had in town. My husband enjoyed the uncle buck big breakfast and especially loved the pancakes. The other couple enjoyed their pork benny and breakfast fajita. Looking forward to returning for lunch or dinner. Highly recommend.

Amazing food and service!

JJ Johnson

Great urban feel. We popped in during happy hour and enjoyed good beer & wine and sharable plates (with good GF options!). A really nice addition to the Penticton scene.

The food and atmosphere were very good. Unfortunately our server really needs some training in covid protocols. He never respected our space, he handled our cutlery with his bare hands and when my friend asked him politely to stay back he got annoyed. We asked why no one was wearing masks and we were told if we wanted to protect ourselves then we should be wearing the masks. He said there was no reason for him to wear one since it would offer no protection to his clients. I was surprised to see no hand sanitizer on the individual tables and it was definitely not appropriate for him to be standing next to us and reaching across the table to place dishes or clear them away. Afraid I'll be staying away until the servers have better training. Unfortunate, as I like to support local business.

Tracy Gregory

After an intial misfire... I ordered a rare steak, received medium well (with a hair on the plate)... my refire was on point. Steak could have had a wee bit more seasoning... but all in all not bad

Nathan Lawson

Walked in and waited 15 minutes. No one looked our way. People who came in after us had drinks order placed and food ordered without anyone even talking to or looking our way. Very dissaponting.

Sarah von Innerebner

By far the worse restaurant I’ve ever eaten at!! Ordered 3 popular items off the menu, and they were sold out. The drinks are expensive, and very watered down. We were charged for items we never received. Honestly I never leave reviews, but this one is well deserved.

Dylan Eli Ton

The experience there at lunch was exquisite. I had the steak sandwich with pesto and garlic bread with a bowl of in-house salad with vinaigrette and they were mouth-watering! Everything had a delicious burst of flavour. The restaurant manager (Willow) was a master of service. She really enjoys being there! I highly recommend this place to everyone.

Evan Parrott

An awful experience. We were seated immediately upon entering, ordered after about 10 minutes, after having the server bring us water, ask if we wanted drinks, and checked on us twice to see if we were ready to order. The service up until this point has been amazing. Then we ordered food. After ordering an appy and two entrees, we waited for a half hour before being told that they were out of the calamari. They comped our wine, and we ordered potato skins instead. An hour and 15 minutes after we were sat, we were told our food would "be ready soon" when I could clearly see the appy cook just beginning to make our appetizer. Meanwhile, Skip the Dishes drivers were coming and going, vast amounts of food was prepared and vanished in front of our eyes. At one point there were 4 drivers picking up food at once. We walked out, considering they had comped our wine and hadnt even begun making our entrees. 0/10 would never go back. I thought about maybe ordering Skip the Dishes to our table to actually get some food

Matt Scaife

Waited a long time to get in, and then a long time again for food. The food was ok... We had the Chicken Hula, without ham (so that may have reduced the intended flavour), and it was good but not amazing. I did enjoy that they had Bad Tattoo beer on tap, cause we couldn't get near that place that night. Tried it again another night with our friends, but eventually left. Tables were not being cleaned quickly enough so sat there empty for 10 minutes at a time. Of course this is in COVID times, so I appreciate that may have contributed.

Jean Page

Overall great spot just off the beach...great mocktails for the kids. Good size portions.

Shayna Ranit

Awesome new venue in Penticton. They have done an excellent job of quickly working out some growing pains which is expected for a new business. The staff are wonderful and the food is fantastic, they also have a great selection of craft beer. We had a couple of the Intruder IPA and the risotto balls and spinach dip... yum! The food was great and the pricing seemed very reasonable. We will be back as regulars!!

Spencer Coyne

Sadly disappointed. Average food, service less than par. ????

Sara

We ordered the deep fried cauliflower, wagyu burger and stuffed portobello mushroom. Everything was amazing. It was our first time trying deep fried cauliflower and we were both surprised by how good it was. Staff were wearing masks and they kept their distance. Hand sanitizer was available as soon as you walk in. Tables are generously separated from each other. We reserved a table, but it should be noted they don't do reservations on Fridays or weekends.

Gary Haupt

Solomon Kwong

Great food. ????

Matt Armstrong

Great food and service but the wine list sucks.

Ron English

Maybe if your restaurant says you’re open till 8, you should specify that your kitchen closes earlier. Not to please that we came in at 7:25 thinking it’s open till 8 just to be turned around at the door.

Jonathan Wall

Very good food, the seating was a little cramped but covid times are what they are. Went with my workforce for an xmas dinner and was blown away by the presentation and taste. Is on the pricier side but quality makes it well worth the extra cost!

Alex Leblanc

The food here is delicious! A little on the pricer side, but worth it. My husband and I had the best burgers of our lives here. I hope everyone has the exact same experience.

Patricia Wu

I liked the atmosphere and over all feel. Food was okay. Our waitress wasn't the best. Took my plate with food on it, that I wanted boxed up, to go. Didn't even ask, took it so quickly I didn't even have time to say anything. A bit disappointed.

Casey Hardman

So the GF and I came here on our vacation in september hoping to find a good local pub with some good food. Where do i start? The guinness was so fresh. The appetizer we got was the spinich dip, it was delicious and we got super excited to try the main course. Then the wagyu beef burgers came out, and we both went silent for the rest of the meal. The fries, perfectly done. The burger, just easily one of the best we have ever had. I hope one day we will be back to this pub on vacation again. Staff was absolutely awesome and was always perfectly on time for when we needed it. Thank you guys!

Kyle Polednik

Food is great! Offerings are great! The atmosphere is fantastic! We will be back to try more of the food and beverages.

Kari Hill

Such a great place for dinner and/or drinks! Great location, great patio and great atmosphere. The food was sooo good, definitely recommend the wings and the mussels. Our server Lys was amazing, so nice and helpful and gave us the best service ever!! This place is a must if you are in the area and hungry or in need of a beverage.

Mizyke Cappa

Wings were amazing! Service was great. Lots of interesting dishes on the menu worth going back to try.

Wayne Sinyard

The food and service was good but I was pretty appalled at the covid precautions. No one at all was wearing masks including staff and there is no way the tables were 6 feet apart. We were seated in the covered front area and everyone coming into the restaurant stood right beside us while waiting to be seated.

The team at The Antler is fricken awesome. Happy hour is from 2-5 Monday to Friday where if you buy a regular priced 20 Oz pint of craft beer for $9 or any other drink over $9 you get a free pound of wings! Food is solid, cocktails are solid, beer is always cold and delicious. The atmosphere is dark and calming, it feels busy even if there's only a couple of tables in there, which is rarely the case. The servers and bartenders are friendly and are always there to make sure you're well taken care of. Good work, everyone!!

Eva Thouvenot

Happy hour was alright. I like the whole "order a reg. priced drink and get a 1lbs of wings free" deal was cool. Food wise, the Spinach Dip and Garlic Parmesean wings are both just okay, very lacking in garlic. The wings really tasted like shake parm and that's about it. The drinks were expensive. The "Smokey Old fashioned" was not bad, but way too sweet. The "Burnt Antler" was not smokey at all and $12 for a martini style beverage. They should really use a smokey gin in place of the gin they have. The legends "Balck Moon" gin for example would be way more suited and they would be supporting a local business. TBH, it was in my bag from a day of happily touring and so I happily added a splash of it to my. Our server was great, super chill dude, but some of the other female staff need to take a class in customer service. Yes I got caught, and very graciously appologized to the server, but you don't have to be all see you next Tuesday about it.

Tyke Gross

Food and service very good.

Nice spot right near the Okangan lake side of Penticton. Made reservations here last yesterday evening. When we got to the restaurant we found a line of people waiting to get in. We sat in the patio which was quite comfortable. Service was quick and the server was friendly with an awesome personality and was professional. Really enjoyed the wagyu burger and lavender lemonade. Other orders around the table were enjoyed as well. Great food and a great location as well. I would recommend it if you’re visiting Penticton and I myself will definitely return next time I am in town.

Franchesca Bell

Nice patio. One of my fave spots in Penticton.

kari reimer

Very tasty

Sharon Walton

Excellent!! I will be going back !!

Social Distancing Guild

Cozy spot, good cocktails!

Mark Smed

Food ALWAYS cooked to perfection ????. Friendly staff...arrive early to get a table...must try....will be back...

Mike Lauer

Very hot in the restaurant, to the point of almost unbearable... takes away from the experience

Darius E.

I came in Saturday night, tonight along with 3 other lovely ladies. We got the best service from a lovely server from NB. Got a lot of food that was from kitchen!! And excellent drinks from the bar...Thank you so much, Y'All were awesome & excellent. Long time since I have had everything be spot on & f'n fabulous!! Thanks to all at The Black Antler!!

Tamara Kennedy

It was meh. The good: -the coffee was good. Hot & strong, which often restaurants don't get quite right. -my macaroni and cheese was very hot & had lots of bacon on top. Good flavour. -my friend's coleslaw and fries were okay (he had ribs,) The bad: -service was ridiculously slow. We waited well over an hour for our food. Wait staff stood at the bar and chatted. ( there were only 4 tables) -the ribs were dry and the sauce tasted like Kraft bbq from a bottle. Some spots still had the silverskin on it. Beans were cold. -the food felt overpriced considering we have had much better elsewhere Overall disappointing. Won't go back.

Morgan

Absolutely amazing! We shared the Porterhouse dinner for 2. The flavours were fantastic and the presentation was pretty cool too

Carleigh Newton

Highly recommend while its not too busy. Love the decorations and overall feel of the joint.

Matthew Godard

Ordered the jambalaya, asked for no pork. Took the order as take out and got home and realised there was no shrimp either. Really bland, basically a few peppers, tomato sauce a few strips of chicken and white rice. Jambalaya should be full of spice and flavors and the use of black beans and corn are an absolute staple but this replica had neither. Worst part was the meager portion. The last thing to expect after eating jambalaya is to still be hungry but it was about half the size of the cactus clubs jambalaya and half the flavour.

Mike Turner

We all had a different entre... HIGHLY recommended! Most delicious food all 4 of us have had in years! We would suggest 10 stars if it was available. We are from out of town and will do the 4 hour drive any day!

The food is creative and good. The cocktails are creative and taste great. I love the atmosphere and the service is solid. Black Antler is worth your time.

Brad Johnston

Really like their happy hour, if you get a drink, you can get wings

Janice

Will definitely be back next time I'm in town!

Trevor Richmond

This is a hard review since we had only one dish, first the positives. Staff friendly and nice, the restaurant is great for patio and inside. Looks lice and has a good feel, loved the crazy music mix. Now onto the part that made this hard. We decided to do the 14 ounce steak for 2, and boy did we get a disappointment. Meat was not done correctly, was probably hard to get a good medium rare on a cut of meat so thin. We also asked if was truly a meal for two of if we would be disappointed, our server said it would be good for two people. It was not even close to filling with the sides. The sides tasted great but I will be upfront in saying this is a overpriced meal for one. I hope this dish is taken of the menus or at least renamed. Was so disappointed I actually talked to to the person in charge. For only a sift manager it was handled great, think it was Steve. Look back on the experience I am in a better place but night of I was very, very unhappy. Would I go back? Probably not. Will you enjoy it? If you are looking for upscale pub food, with a great vibe and what looked like great other food you probably will love this place.

Randa Welker

The Black Antler has a caesar salad I would cross the city for. In a heartbeat. Sexy atmosphere and really great food menu.

Matt Boer

Awesome vibe and interior, friendly staff, decent food. Great drink menu.

Barendina Smith

**UPDATE tried again, but equally unimpressed! 48 mins to get our food and it was COLD! Won't be back. Nice atmosphere but...ceasar drink was in a very small glass making it HOT HOT from tobacco! Had to ask for larger glass. The portions are VERY small if u order rice bowl or pasta. Good thing we weren't starving. The flavors were just not there, so we needed to ask for s&p. However the company was good, the presentation was good and our server was polite. He got a 20% tip. 2 pastas, 1 rice bowl, 2 beer & 1 ceasar = $110.00 with the tip

Werner Hass

Good food, good service, food took a while but was worth the wait.

Oface Buckets

The Fish and Chips were terrible. Cheap slim fries. Mostly batter then fish. Calamari was just ok. We were not impressed. Very uncomfortable seats. We were cold. It was a cool day and they had the door opened. One couple found it too cold so they left. Done with this place.

Robert Britton

Bob Askow

This place is amazing!!! Great food great people. Say hi to Willow !!!

Dustin Michaluk

Alice was amazing Burger was very tasty

Ghost Rider

The restaurant looked nice and appealing to visit but the host at the front was not welcoming in the slightest. Understanding and aware that we are in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic we were shoo'd back from the door and told they were full for the night.. It's 6:30 pm surely an explanation or we would love to see you back another time could be given. Will not recommend or attempt to return to such a cold greeting.

wiseguy7272

The Black Antler is situated on Winnipeg Street in the heart of Penticton. If you like BBQ or simply comfort food, you have to try this hidden gem! We dropped in to try their Bison Burger and it was amazing. Also the best spot in town for a pint of Guinness beer. We’ll be back soon!

Brendan Smith

The food was great and so was the atmosphere. We were kinda bummed with the false advertising though. We were there at 2pm on a Saturday and it says “breakfast until 3 on Saturday & Sunday” on the sign outside. Once we sit down we noticed 1lb of wings for free if you order drinks over $9... so we ordered drinks. When the server came with the drinks, I asked for the breakfast menu. “We finish breakfast at 2pm” is what he said. I had only come in because I wanted breakfast. I thought maybe I misread the sign.. ok... (checked once we left and sign outside says 3pm). Then we ask for our wings...”oh.. we only do that on weekdays”. Hmm. Nowhere on the menu does it say that. Or the server should have said something when we ordered our drinks if it’s in small print somewhere that I didn’t see (I don’t think it was). Food was good. The cooks did a great job and the food came quickly. Atmosphere good. Service was good. However the false advertising left a bad taste in my mouth.

Dawid Spamer

What a joke closed to take out meals at 430 . Sorry but not everybody can eat at a restaurant won't ever try to get food from here again .

S Gee

This was the perfect place to stop today with the pups! Dog friendly patio, excellent beer( try the Triple berry sour you won't regret it! ) and good food. Will be back!!

Melissa Denise

Nice restaurant with a large patio. Staff are all very nice and honest when asked about what they prefer on the menu, which we appreciated! The cocktails are interesting and unique. There is a large food menu and if I wasn't going to be in a bikini for the next few days I would have ordered more than just the salad, which was still super tasty! Just wish there was better ac inside or at least some fans on the patio during the heatwave!

Ben Phillips

Buddy and I were out for beer and wings. Black Antler is always a good choice. Santa gives it a serious thumbs up!

Mark Karstad

Shhhhh, don't tell anyone about this place! What a secret.... We will be back, and often. Best food around. And the new menu selection is awesome.

Robert Wiebe

Decent place decent food

MrCdnBeef

We got here almost at closing time. The place was busy. All the tables were full with only a few spaces along the fence open. We visited many restaurants around the area and heard the same line over and over again "the kitchen is closed. We close at 9 pm". It was 8:20 pm. When we got to the Black Antler we were told that they were almost closed but they welcomed us. We just had to order quickly. We ordered our food and the kitchen didn't disappoint. Our dishes were delicious. There is more to be had at this restaurant and I am sure the food is as good as what we had. I highly recommend the Black Antler.

Sean Duthie

Best Restaurant in Penticton. Everything on the menu is so good. HOWEVER, recently they stopped selling takeout. I am not interested in eating in a restaurant most days, especially when they are packed and covid is flying around. It is okay that you don't want to do takeout when its busy, BUT you can not randomly refuse to do takeout on busy nights and tick off your regular customers. Its one thing knowing that friday and saturday nights are no takeout because you are busy. But when I call in and am told you don't want to sell to me that night (I have money to spend in your business) because you randomly decided your not doing takeout..... I love supporting good local businesses. This is my favorite restaurant in years. But I won't support a business that pushes away customers.

Jason Pettyjohn

The service was meh and the food was mediocre at best. Very long wait but not busy enough to be so long.

Sheldon JL

Had dinner here last night. Service was excellent (thank you Alice). We had the Big Buck burger and a steak sandwich. Both food items were amazing. The beer, wine and spirits were all great. This was our second time here, both times the food was excellent and left wanting to come back. Love the decor theme as well. We will be back.

Lorena Fox

Fantastic service, great specials, only had wings but they hit the mark. Extra points for a great room/vibe

Will Seguin

Really enjoyed the food. Server was just decent.

Frank Castle

Great food and beer list

Gregory

Great little place and fabulous addition to the community. Stopped in for lunch today and the server went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Food was awesome! Highly recommend!

Graham O'Rourke

Great service. Food was pretty good. Great hot sauce.

Andrew

Unfortunately, it wasn’t good. We just moved to Penticton and the menu here looked fantastic! We were eager to try it out, but the descriptions on the menu sounded way better than reality. Short on flavour,dry, felt prepared way in advanced and the drinks were watered down juice :(. Will not be going back.

Lubomir Dobrik

Great meals family friendly

Kevin Alcock

Recently moved here, love the Black Antler, always efficient and friendly.????

Geoff Duck

Great restaurant.

April Janele

Really good brunch. Wish we had the chance to try the “cocktail flight” but couldn’t.

Daylen Wolaniuk

Have been a couple times and was always very happy with my food and cocktails! Very cosy place with a chill ambience.

Dave Beyer

Surprisingly amazing. Excellent cocktail list and menu. We will be back!

David Dow

I never rate anything a 5 because I'm not Michelin, but the Blackberry Bacon Grilled Cheese was fantastic.

JC Seguin

Good food, music too loud

Christine Lawrence

So expensive!! Nothing to complain about except prices. Had 2 beer and two glasses of wine and wings. With tip was $87. Hard to digest and will have to be extremely careful when ordering next time. $22 glass of rose and $16 for white wine. $9 pint of lager. Come on guys this is not Vegas.

lara haley

Great burgers and beer.

Ridhwaan Murad

I was extremely disappointed with the server last night. They didn't properly clean the chair so my friend ended up sitting in gum -- disgusting and the server over charged us $35 -- he said he accidentally left the last patron's bill on our bill! We didn't notice until my husband looked more carefully at the bill after we paid. We got the cash back; however no one from the restaurant management came to speak to us and they didn't even offer us anything to make up for our terrible experience. Very poor way to try to get people to come back to your restaurant. I will never go there again.

Dylan Foster

I came to the black antler on a busy Friday for happy hour but we ended up staying all night because we were obsessed with this restaurant! Willow our server was amazing, she told us about all the specials and got us the best deals! Free wings thank you willow! We were a little upset they didn’t have the red they used to have but Willow got us hooked on the grey monk blend. Their ribs are so absolutely massive and and fall off the bone good, also for a cute note ask them the story behind their cocktails!

Gerry Pearson

Excellent food and atmosphere.

Elaine Smith

Really good starters and my steak was done perfectly!

Jarrat

Went here for lunch with my family, food were definitely good, excellent selection of local beer on tap and the server was very friendly. Will definitely go back in the future.

Martha

Amazing food, great service, lovely location.

Dylan Gedig

Very good food and flawless service! I recommend!

Shawn Corkum

Amazing food! Absolute treasure and next to the beach. The patio is nice and spacious and I have never had a bad meal there. Spinach dip is the best around!

Ryan Logan

Had the steak. No flavor. Tough to chew. Way over priced. Even got charged for a side of HP sauce to give it some flavor. Decent place aside from that.

Greg Sliziak

Yay Hot Fudge sundaes !

JGowe

Service and dinner were wonderful.

Kendall Fowler

Must be busy running out of food

Liisa Bloomfield

Great food great atmosphere.higy recommend

Jeff L

Great service.

joann Haert

Food, service and ambiance is an experience, especially the mussels.

Jason Leyer

This place was awesome. Had dinner here tonight. First off our server Rebecca was the sweetest lady, the bar tender made great drinks and the chefs were on point. We had wings, mac and cheese and steak sandwich. ALL PERFECT. The young lady that cooked my husband's steak, apparently it was the second time she had professionally cooked a steak well let me tell you she did it perfect. For all the people reading the bad reviews, skip past them and give this place a try. We live locally and will be spreading the word to our friends and family to go try this place.

savannah gibb

So incredibly good. If you have not been here it is an absolute must. The food is incredible, the drinks are amazing, and the staff is super friendly. I had the Old Smoked Fashion, the Buffalo pulled pork sandwich, and the teriyaki wings. All three were the best I've had. Simply put this place is amazing!!!

Filip Górecki

We gave Black Antler a try on a Cool Monday night. My pasta was a bit bland but my wife's grilled cheese sandwich was very good. Staff were attentive and service was fast. Prices are high.

Taylor King

Amazing service. On top of covid procedures. Always amazing food. Reason #71 of dad bod progress...there amazingness that goes in my face hole. Thanks guys!!!

Carrie O'Brien

Awesome wings beer and service. Definitely coming back.

Saul Sharpe

Delicious food and great staff! Went here for a birthday dinner while visiting Penticton and had a great night. Everything we ordered was excellent, the staff were friendly and the service was on point the whole night. We absolutely plan on coming back next time we are in Penticton

Cameron Weir

Excellent jambalaya. Love that the kitchen stays open late (for Penticton).

Shawn Farina

Nice but slow service

Nichelle Gosau

I appreciate the level of attention they put into aesthetic while designing this place, although we were seated at a high-top table and we kept sliding off the stools (not the most comfortable seating). It was packed yesterday, which created about a 30 minute wait just to order drinks. Music was fantastic. We had several delicious appetizers and I'm excited to explore the rest of their menu.

Kelsey Christal

Dinner

Cole Manning

Great mussels!!!!

Kyle Alec

Super busy night in town, so thankful they could take us in with a minimal wait. Food was delightful, my friends ribs looked and smelt amazing! I actually have a complaint tho…. …my chicken strips and fries came with too many fries. Like, there were SO MANY fries I felt bad for not being able to eat them :( 10/10 will return on our next trip into the interior :)

Ronnie Scott

Whether it be solo, with a group of friends or family this is the perfect place to have lunch or dinner at! All the food is cooked and prepared to perfection, as well as modified to the customer's needs. Would highly recommend!

Fixit Drunk

I went in late so cant comment on food but music and atmosphere was great. Older classics like Bob Seager and Supertramp out of a great sound system. I sat at the bar and had a great conversation with the owner Lynn. Even met her hubby and son who works there. The Guinness is the most inexpensive I've found anywhere $ 6 bucks a pint ???? The menu is well rounded and I look forward to trying it soon. I will be back!!

Globe Trotter

Good food. I think this place overlooked by tourists. I would recommend it.

Jayan Maxson

One shouldnt marinate wagyu beef, waitress was sad looking, burger was looking kinda ugly, some fries julienne cut. Good tasting fries but not enough of them. Decent burger feels like a mach up of very decent ingredient put together in a seemingly random way, anyway worse than a 5$ burger youre used to. If you don't have infinite money bring it to a place that's more worth.

Richard James Meier

Good food and awesome service. Really cool atmosphere. Highly recommended it.

Ryan J

If I could give this more stars I would. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and AMAZING food. There's also a lot of beers on tap, and their cocktail menu is top notch. Can't wait to come back to Penticton, this will be a regular stop!

Deanne Cook

If I could give 0 stars I would. I had heard amazing things about here , so me and my boyfriend went at 5 and they said it would be a 45 minute wait , no problem ! We come back at 5:45 and the nice hostess seats us. Then we waited 25 minutes and no one , not even one of the waitresses just standing around doing nothing came and saw us. There were empty seats in the restaurant and we didn’t even get water or a hi after 25 minutes. We then get up and leave to go tell the hostess that we’re going to be eating elsewhere and as we’re walking up to her she says “no one came and saw you” and I just said yup , so it must not be the first time. Don’t waste your time. Really disappointed in the service.

lorraine devost

We did not have food here but the drinks and service was top notch!

Desiree Rouw

We stopped in after not getting in down the road. We were 2 tables of 4. Even with the Covid process the host was great and explained it would be a bit but would call us when ready. She did and we had a great time. Food and atmosphere on the patio was awesome. The bartender came out and refilled our beer before we needed to ask. Wait staff was a 10.

jason kuzyk

Excellent. Large portions, high quality. Not a small price tag but certainly not over the top expensive either.

Chelsea

awesome food and amazing cocktails! very happy to have a late night spot with such nice fare. will be going back again and again! if youre looking for a nice night out check out this place! this is my first ever review on anything, thats how much I liked this place.

Steve Horton

Very cool environment. Was a great place for appetizers and some drinks!

Graeme Burns

Great atmosphere, pleasant wait staff, fancy cocktails and delicious food. Highly recommend!

Mekhala Zaman

Deep fried risotto balls and their cocktail menu keep me coming back!

Dustin Ramsbottom

excellent food...three times...brunch is a steal and well worth the visit...Cory was our excellent server each time... DO IT!

We had ribs and the wagyu burger which was good. Only drawback is that it took a very long time for the food to come out (+40 mins from ordering). We watched as our plates sat on the order up shelf getting cold. Fries weren’t great cold. Coleslaw was tasteless. I saw other people’s dishes sitting for a long time too, waiting for their sides or waiting for their server. They need better coordination and timing in the kitchen. From the sounds of the other reviews, being disorganized is not surprising for this eatery whether it’s the dishes or getting seated. The place was packed so try to make reservations or come early. Ambiance was definitely bustling and the decor was on point.

Donte Brown

Amazing food, terribly service. Even an explanation or apology from our waitress would have earned an easy 5 star, but sitting and waiting for over an hour to get our food, not being asked or offered drinks, and every request was met with annoyance... also noticed alot of the staff was standing around inside, with only one waitress serving the patio

Scott Minch

Great cocktails and very friendly server. The food was very underwhelming though.

Take you business elsewhere if you want to eat. After calling to ask if we needed a reservation and being told no we arrived to a 45 minute wait list. We waited our 45 minutes then called to make sure we could still get in before the kitchen closed. We were assured this wouldn't be an issue and continued to wait. We arrived back to Black Antler after an hour and 20 minutes to be told that they would not be serving us and the kitchen was closed. We then had to search for other options late in the night when most places were now closing their kitchens. Should've gone elsewhere to begin with which is what I'll do in the future.

Went once, and we had a decent time - the ribs were a large portion but we've tried to go twice since and I really don't think they know how to adequetely run a hospitality business. First time, I tried calling and just got their voicemail - went by and found out they had taken the night off for staff appreciation, which is great - love to hear it, but updating the voicemail to alert guests of this is proper etiquette when running a business. Second time, we arrived at 6:45pm to be told the kitchen was closing for 7pm despite being open til 8pm. I understand staffing can be an issue, but I really can't see a logical reason why you'd close your kitchen this early for dinner especially with the style of food they are serving. Overall, I was hoping to try the ribs again but it's appearing to be harder for this restaurant to accommodate its guests than it is for us to source other options.

Very good food and service

O'Neil

Was here on the weekend and have to say it was a real delight. Server who had our table was delightful and funny. Pleasant diolouges and interaction. Food was incredible and portions amazing. Pics don't show really how much food you are getting. For the price point a really great deal. Had the old fashioned served the restaurants way and although a little sweet still had the boozy taste. Really enjoyed it. Worth stopping in and taking the great atmosphere and great service.

Andrew Rena

Nice food, good drinks, nice and quiet (at the time of visit) and lovely staff.

We came to the Black Antler for dinner, and had an unfortunate experience with the quality of the food. Firstly, the staff were very nice. The establishment was clean and COVID friendly. Our server was very kind and did a good job. If not for the food this would have received a higher rating. As for the food, I ordered their Wagyu Burger. My partner ordered their stuffed Portabella mushroom. The Burger was extremely underseasoned, and was carried in flavor primarily by the cheese. The Burger also lacked in the vegetable department, and as a result came off as very dry. They did put a large deep fried onion ring on top of the patty, but that too was heavily under seasoned. The outer layer of the onion ring was brownish in texture which makes me think it was fried in over used oil. My partner's stuffed mushroom was an interesting concept, but ultimately lacked flavor as well, however, they were very generous with the cheese. Ultimately we had a poor experience but we're happy to support local restaurants and hope that our experience was merely a one-off.

Stephanie Campbell

Best food ever. Love this place. Breakfast here is the best in penticton.

B_ The_Barber

As it sounds it's a very meaty kinda place. Could use some better vegetarian options. I wouldn't go back as a vegetarian,if you like meat nevermind my review.

Danica Dekleva

I don't normally give five star reviews. I'm pretty hard to please. I was in Penticton for the week and I shortlisted a few places to attend in this was one of them. It did not disappoint. The food was delicious the service was fantastic and I highly recommend the cocktail flight. Enjoy and thanks to the black antler!

Beth Guirr

This is a great new place in Penticton. The staff are welcoming, the coconut prawns are great, and the atmosphere draws people in. The have a great patio setup with lots of seating and the the decor is very appealing. Highly recommended.

SJ Norie

I had the Wagyu Beef Berg and it was dope af!

Disappointing experience. My partner and I were looking forward to visiting this new spot for a couple months now and were definitely let down tonight. Our server was great and the restaurant itself has a very neat ambiance, however the food was really underwhelming. We would recommend the deep fried cauliflower, however that is all. The stuffed chicken breast was a bone-in breast (not advertised) with barely any meat as a result. The $3 extra I paid for a caesar salad got me lettuce doused in what tasted like store bought dressing and a measly amount of parmesan cheese, no croutons, bacon, etc. My partner's pulled chicken was dry as a bone, flavourless and each bite had to be drowned in water to be able to be swallow-able. The nearly $100 bill with tip was definitely not worth it. Hope over time they will be able to improve as it has great potential.

patrick zeller

Love the Antler! Great service and very friendly!Sunday brunch is great,and happy hour is awesome! Yummy drinks and good prices.

Our waitress was really sweet. Was a nice little place. We didn't eat so I can't comment on the food, drinks were ok.. Menu does look yummy ????

Kelly was awesome...Was here for a couple of hours, she was attentive and fun amidst a crazy busy rush while balancing multiple tables, running food, and mixing her own drinks. Will be returning, and hope to hit her section again!

Fabulous food and drinks! A great new place to enjoy with friends.

Kevin Tennert

Overall the experience here was not great. The two of us went here for dinner earlier this week. When we were seated, we were seated under the super loud speaker. The patio was full with a family gathering of 20 and another big group of 6. No one served us for 10 minutes while we watched a couple of servers go back and forth to the other tables. They, the manager and others all seemed to be running around like chickens with their heads cut off. I get that big parties are tough to manage and there's a staffing shortage atm but if you're going to accept those large parties, their reservations should be outside of the busiest times. We finally got our drinks... Mine a non-aloholic one was way too sweet and I couldn't drink it We were never asked if everything was ok. The food finally came after 40 minutes (we were told our order was after the group of 20 to be fair). But the group of 6 left without eating as they had been waiting an hour for food. Server never asked how our food was (I ordered the chicken mushroom alfredo and it was meh). When I went inside there were only 6 people dining in there, so why was everything so chaotic?? I will not be going back.

Candace Frank

The food is really good and the service is friendly. Enjoy some local beers!

Craig Marsden

Wonderful food and our waitress was great

kay ge

(July 8/21) Table for two, approximately 4:45 pm. The place was steady. Our server had no clue as to what the dinner specials were. She sat us and told us to wait to make our drink order. 25 minutes into waiting, no drinks, we watched our server seat two new tables. Both new tables got drinks and ordered food. We walked out. Stay away from this one. Unless second class treatment is your thing.

Roseanne Gendron

The food is fantastic. But 3 times I have been since November, and the service is lacking. Black antler you need to up your game with service and your pofits will rise. Each time it wasn't even busy and you need to wait forever for the server to come back to the table.

Chris Bachmann

Just finished a great meal in an up beat atmosphere! For the most part food experiences in Penticton have been mediocre; even in high end restaurants. What a pleasant surprise today stumbling in Black Antler on Winnipeg Avenue - only a couple of blocks from the beach. Steak house and excellent Wagu beef burgers. The whole menu looked good. I wish we'd found it sooner. Great value; and really good food.

Gary S

Honestly I expected better service. Porterhouse steak is 1.5" Not less then 1" Weird vibe from hostess.. Lack of service. 8 hostesses working

Theresa Mackenzie

Had lunch with a girlfriend. We both had an amazing time! Waiter gave a lovely suggestion for a cocktail (lavender lemonade) and it was delightful! We shared the pull pork poutine (best I’ve had in a long time) and the risotto balls (genius idea and delicious beyond words!) Both of our anniversaries are next weekend and we will be double dating with our husbands and going back; I’m so looking forward to it!!

A really nice restaurant. We sat outside on their patio which was perfect for an evening meal. Good food and service.

Todd Hanover

I went there for my birthday on 21st of Aug. Table of 10. We called 2 in advanced to book a table table new covide rules came to called the next day again to double confirm, to be told they don't actually do resos. So who did we book a table with yesterday ? My friend arrived at 530 pm to get a table they were 30 min wait , no big deal. We went over to neighborhood pub for some drink while we waited. In that time my friend order 2 to 3 drinks and some appies. We called 2 times with the same awnser , 30 minutes still. So we decided to walk over and see what going in. Got meet with a extremely rude hosts telling us we have to wait more . Even though we can see 5 empty tables and 2 which si gle people in them. ( about an 1.45 minutes of us waiting to get in) we order some drinks which took us 20 minutes get. Then we went to order to food I wanted the tomahawk steak , which was told they didn't have the minis just the regular size and I had to share ( I domt share food so I passed ) I got a different steak which was very good , just wanted more meat especially with this being a steak house. 1/2 I steak doesn't call to me as a steak house ???? but also order appies , which never showed and when I asked about them the server said " oh did you still want thoes ?" To which I said yes . They still never came. One meal came put bone cold as we watched in window for a hour sit. Then we tried to pay and she did half the table and gave the machine to other people and told us we had to wait. When I told her I have a baby waiting at home and it's now 10 pm. She looked at me went " ugh and did a hand flip thing " like I was annoying her. It seemed like we were an inconvenience to everyone who worked there. Slow service, bad waitresses, no management. Would not go again just purely due the service which sucks cause the food was good. Took my table 4 hours to get in a out and that was mainly waiting for drinks and food. Was not impressed.

Rick Dhillon

Amazing cocktails and mocktails. Lots of fun banter at the bar.

Susan McRae

My first time at The Black Antler was in every way unenjoyable! Sorry! The only decent part of my visit was that the bartender made me a great drink that was thankfully so strong, it lasted the entire hour I was there. I walked in, and in what appeared to be a summer balcony area, appeared completely full except for one table in the corner against two plastic wall-windows. When I got to the hostess beside the kitchen area, I could hear one of the cooks taking about how he was holding “six or seven tickets that he hasn’t even begun to start.” He started laughing and looked right at me when he said it, as if to say it will take forever to receive any food. The hostess said the place was busy and there were no tables to sit at, but I could order food at the bar. I asked if she could take my name and then seat me somewhere when a table became available, and she said yes. I ordered my drink, and sat at the bar for about 15 minutes when I noticed she had placed two other parties who arrived after me, at empty tables. I then asked why they were seated first, and she had said she forgotten and the other hostesses didn’t pay attention to my name that was written down to be placed first. I was then placed at the corner table I saw empty when I first walked in. The room was freezing, and couldn’t take my jacket off. My waitress was slow at even getting to my table, and once again to place my order. After 25 or so minutes, my husband and I received our appetizers that were ice cold, and one of them was supposed to be a hot cheese dip(nacho chips that were way to hard), and even my calamari was ice cold. At that point, it had been about an hour of being there, and all I could do was leave! When explaining the situation to my waitress, I didn’t even get an apology from her, or even the management on duty that she said she was going to speak to! Thanks!

Kris Wortley

Black Antler is a great place. The food is diverse and delicious, the drinks are top notch and they support local breweries. Their core staff is absolutely fantastic! Especially Alysa. I would highly recommend stoping here if your visiting Penticton. I only have 1 complaint. The past couple times visiting on a Friday or Saturday night while the music selection was dynamite the volume was a little much. Our table had to speak quite loudly to talk to eachother :(. While this atmosphere makes sense when live music is being performed or if we were at a club. For just a regular restaurant I don’t need that big bass vibe and would prefer to make good conversation with my table instead of the funky fresh 90s playlist.

Braden Hill

One of the best burgers EVER.

Dean Widney

The food was outstanding, the service was most excellent too.. thank you

We came down to Penticton from our week in Summerland to spend the day pub crawling and tasting the delicious eats of the city. Our 3rd…and final stop was at The Black Antler. This wasn’t our final stop by choice but because we were immediately drawn in by the decor and amazing staff. Especially our bartender, Calvin. We posted ourselves at his wood for a solid few hours and were in stitches laughing at the jives back and forth and stories of our pasts. Calvin’s mixology knowledge to serve up off-the-cuff, one-of-a-kind shots was impressive to say the least. Definitely hit this place up for the happy hour and do yourself a favour by ordering one of the higher end cocktails (I suggest the hibiscus jalapeño marg!) and receive a free pound of wings with your order! Not only did Calvin provide an amazing experience for me and my wife on a perfectly hot afternoon but he’s also the owner of Carbon Mobile Detailing which did an absolutely amazing job on our vehicle after a long trip from Vancouver to the Interior. End of day, if you’re in Penticton or the surrounding area, stop into The Black Antler and do yourself the justice by sitting at the wood and sharing a good laugh with Calvin!

The food was amazing, I got the risotto balls for an appy and had the wagyu beef burger for a main and both dishes were cooked perfectly, the cocktail menu has a wide variety of drinks for anyone from lemonades to a classic cocktail of spirit and butters, our server Teresa did an awesome job and made sure we were taken care of. Didn’t manage to snap a picture of the burger because I was too excited to eat it.

Brittany Roguski

Went there Saturday evening and although the service and staff were top notch... the same cannot be said of the Coconut Prawns and the Ribs I had that night. Even though they were advertised as " Fall off the Bone " they were tough and chewy and somewhat of a disappointment.

Angie Machado

Could use a bit of a face lift. But otherwise OK.

Kristopher Susilo

I understand that during pandemic it is hard to run a restaurant especially in a very busy long weekend. We are aware of that, hence why we came in when it was not busy (Sunday morning) - we got a table right away in their patio for lunch. Server and hostess was very engaging and ensure we (7 of us) got our water right away in a very hot sunny day. We ordered a variety of food from pasta, burger and brunch menu items. It was not busy, and the food took 1 hour. It is just unacceptable. Guests should be made aware that it will be that long of a wait. We were at the tipping point but stuck through it. Their food is hit and miss. Its a burger joint, so get their sandwiches. Stay away from pastas. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich and it was amazing. 5/5. but they gave me stale fries which in return they did give us fresh fries, but I just felt defeated even after an hour wait, how can you give us stale fries? I expected above and beyond. The garlic pasta we ordered had huge chunks of uncut onions and size of peppers that are not cut evenly. Very dissapointing. Just a tip, they charge for everything. $1 of hot sauce and $1.50 for mayo. Which is uncalled for (especially with an hour of wait for food to arrive). Might be one of the busiest place in Penticton, but with the lack of kitchen staff, I would stay away for now. I can see other guests waiting for their food as well, being very upset with the wait times.

Carollyne Coulson

Visited last week, table of 7, waited 45 for the table, and 45 more after ordering. Food was not great, pasta overcooked and the Bolognese was flavorless. Caesar salad was below average, Burger was below average, wings were good. Service was abysmal!! We felt like an inconvenience to our waitress and we could barely talk to each other because the music was so loud. With all of the other amazing restaurants in Penticton, I give this one a hard pass.

Ty Mack

Food, drinks and hostess were great, server was a lil cold. Cool place though.

Bacon mac & cheese was very good. It would have been 4 stars if my water glass didn't have lip stick on it when it was brought to the table. In this Covid age that bothered me a lot. The waiter apologized. They reduced my $15 meal by $1. Not sure if that was a mistake or the reduction was to go along with the waiter's apology. Either way that was disappointing.

Max Lof

Our food was quite tasty! We had the hula chicken sandwich, the grilled cheese and a spinach dip! Very good! Our cocktails were excellent as well! The star of the show was the old fashioned they have. Highly recommend! Our server, Kelly, was friendly, informed, and prompt. A great experience.

The service here is horrible. We gave it a second chance but had the same server. She made everyone at our table feel like we were inconveniencing her by being there. I served for seven years…I can’t believe anyone would have that much attitude with their guests. Two stars because the wing deal is pretty sweet!

Brandon Cooper

Very disappointing experience. The food was excellent, very well prepared and a thoughtful use of ingredients. Unfortunately the service ensured that we will not return. Waited for drinks, had to ask the server if the drinks were coming, obviously weren't entered as tables who arrived after ours were served first. Drink was wrong. Glasses not refilled when obviously empty. Exceptionally long delay between appetizers and main. Again, other tables who arrived after, served first. Had to ask after food. Told was being plated. Watched one dish sit under the heat lamp for 10 minutes while the other was prepared. There were only 5 tables occupied in the restaurant. Dissapointing to say the least as this could be a destination establishment. Kudos to the kitchen. It would be a shame if there talents couldn't be better highlighted elsewhere.

Yvette Bishop

The wings are soooo good. They taste like they've never been frozen. The fries are awesome too. No idea what they season them with, but it's great. Will be coming here again!

Mike Hildebrand

Cauliflower bites and potato skins were good. The teriyaki bowl was a little too saucy but was tasty. Drink menu is pretty good, lots of variety including "adult" soda floats. All around it was decent pub style food. Frankly I think service everywhere at the moment is lacking due to Covid and it was noticeable here, but the staff tried their best and our waiter was great. I wouldn't call it a special occasion place, but you will have a good meal and drinks here.

Peggy bowater

Ryley Albert

From the drinks to the Waygu Burger to the blackberry cheesecake, this place was awesome. Decor is really cool too and the tunes are chosen with excellent taste.

Lots of people but service was quick and efficient. Amanda our server was wonderful and attentive and yes Guiness is just $6 a pint and poured very well. Good luck we will visit when here next.

Kelsey Huggan

We stopped in for dinner with a reservation, and the service was very good. However they did not check vaccine passports. There was also an incident where the cook yelled and swore at one of the other staff members in front of us. There was also different music playing in the kitchen than in the main area and, given that the kitchen is open, it was a little jarring. The cocktails were excellent; interesting and unique. The food was well executed.

Cathy N

We ordered through Skip and picked up several different dishes. Can't say we enjoyed anything but the deep fried cauliflower. Ended up throwing out most of the rest. Just not stomaching it. And this morning.......

Elizabeth Price

For an establishment that is presenting itself as an antique modern industrial niche rustic hipster eatery (as the decor and menu decry), I feel like the chicken fingers I get here should not be exactly the same as the ones you can get at white spot, or costco for that matter. Where is the soul in that? Makes me think that this place is run by a cook not a chef. The food itself is not the worst, but it's mediocre in the same way that any nameless burger place is mediocre, but with a price tag that does not justify the mundane nature of the food. Service was okay, not great, once our waitress realized that we were not there for entrées, it seemed like she lost interest in us as customers. She wasn't rude, just not engaged and indifferent. I feel that no matter how terrible or terrific a place is, reviews are meant to criticize, yes! But to criticize in the hopes of helping businesses see their blind spots, to help them see past the ravings of the mediocre eaters who are sated by McDonald's, and thus find slightly less mundane fare to be exceptional. In that vein, this establishment should embrace it's strongest point, that being it's steaks, forget the hipster side dishes, fall hard onto simple, honest sides and salads house made from local ingredients that are designed to accompany a beautifully cooked cut of meat. Check out the farmers market that is just down the street, there is a glut of fresh delicious well-priced ingredients there for the taking. In the restaurant business you can be exceptional, standing out by pushing your passion out to the customer through quality foods, and they will love you and pay you for that. Or you can fade into the static buzz of the mundane and the uninspired, just another peddler of the common tasteless Sysco frozen chicken finger.

We enjoyed the atmosphere with fantastic Ciroc cosmos and Hwy 97 red ale, tasting coconut prawns & deep fried cauliflower the very attentive manager brought them piping hot to our table - delicious! We were able to chat with the owners about their decision to leave downtown Vancouver for a more fulfilling lifestyle in Penticton with their family and I was thrilled to enjoy such high quality delicious tasting drinks & outstanding food! Then we continued to enjoy a glass of Hester Creek Cab-Merlot with a scrumptious sirloin steak with bourbon butter and jambalaya the owners were hands on in the kitchen on a very busy Saturday full to capacity night This is the best place to eat in Penticton on a regular consistent basis with so many mouth watering menu items, great drinks and happy hours Make this your place to enjoy any time !
