This unassuming bar on the strip surprisingly has fantastic food. We got chicken noodle soup which was fantastic, carnitas quesadilla, buffalo chicken wrap. All was excellent. Antlers is now my go-to in Pentwater!!

I was here with my sister in Pentwater for a week of camping and after swimming in the Lake we were hungry and walked into this bar by chance. The man who was our server was very nice and greating, my sister is a vegitiarian so we were concerned that they wouldn't have anything for her, but she ordered the rice bowl and it was amazing. I had a burger and it was very good. The long island was a bit pricey but it was good as well.

Stopped for a couple drinks. We didn't have any food, but other people eating there seemed to be enjoying it. Service was great. We sat ourselves, and was greeted within minutes. Never went more than a couple minutes between refills. Would definitely go back!

Ate here while staying in Pentwater. Really busy as we’re English we’re not used to the system of leaving your phone number to wait for a table they said it would be about 30 minutes. We came back after about 40 minutes to be told we had been crossed off but the young woman said we could have next table. Food was really good with vegetarian options I had the special for the day tacos really nice staff friendly and good beer

I ordered a carry out dinner of perch. It was cooked perfectly, the coleslaw was good and so were the French fries. I did not eat in but the atmosphere looked friendly, but a little noisy for me. Glad I got a carryout. I will definitely come again.
