About The Antlers Restaurant

Based on the reviews, The Antlers Restaurant offers a relaxed and friendly atmosphere with plenty to look at, including walls packed full of taxidermy animals, most of which are real. The old building has creaky floors and an old lodge feel. The service is outstanding, with staff described as wonderful, and the food feels like down home cooking. Specific meals mentioned include the Onion Rings, which were good, and a Whitefish rice bowl special that was dry and burnt tasting, with fries tasting like burnt oil and mushy rice and veggies. A Burger was dry and lifeless. However, other reviews praise the excellent food, calling it absolute perfection and yum. Prices and portions are on par, though it can be expensive—two drinks and a burger with a side was $40 before tip. There is a bonus room for ice cream. Come on your birthday and they’ll hoot some bells and whistles. Food quality needs an upgrade according to some, but the nostalgia factor is nice for those who hadn't been there in 40 years.
