I recently had one of the better burgers here than I've had in a long time. Young is such a great place to spend a day or two, really were surprised by what's hidden back there in this small little community. read more

Ambiance is awesome, inside decor is rustic Western, I have never had a bad meal there, every Friday is Fish Day, the Cowboy Stir Fry is great too. The manager is drop dead gorgeous and very pleasant, the head chef knows his craft extremely well, parking is ample they will entertain large groups as well as individual patrons, the wait staff are quick, efficient and friendly. On the outside posts are Elk antlers top to bottom. Very worth the drive through the Tonto and Seagraves national forests to get here read more

What a nice experience! The food and the service were impeccable. Antlers Cafe and Bar is one of the few dining spots in the unincorporated town of Young, AZ. This was great luck for us, as my husband and I had some of the best burgers we've had in a long time. read more

My wife, 9 month old, and I went up to Young, AZ for valentine's weekend and visited Antler's Cafe & Grill. We wanted to get away and escape the business of the city life and we had such a beautiful and authentic small-town experience. It wouldn't have been the same without our 2 separate visits to Antler's. Thank you to all the staff and people who made our experience so pleasant and amazing. Can't wait to be back! FOOD: We got the 4 course meal for Valentine's day which included the BEST bacon wrapped jalapeño poppers, broccoli cheddar soup, and 14oz NY strip steak with baked potato, only to top it off with some brown sugar cinnamon apple cobbler and vanilla ice cream. YUM YUM YUM all the way across the board. The next day for lunch we both got the Diamond Quality Beef burgers and boy oh boy were they worth it! Best grass-fed burgers I think I've ever had. So full of flavor! I got the Signature Burger with jalepeno coleslaw and fries on the side and my wife got a regular cheeseburger with fries. Make sure you get the burger with pink in it because it is SOOO tasty and full of flavor! We also got the Crispy Fish Tacos with the corn and the Butter Pecan Chicken which was perfectly moist and had an incredible sweet/savory taste to it! To top lunch off we got the Butter Cake and this was hands down the best butter cake I've ever had. DO NOT FORGET TO ORDER IT (like I almost did)! SERVICE: Not only was the food awesome, but EVERYONE there was so kind and welcoming. Our server Jennifer was so kind and sweet and helped us out when our baby was getting fussy and Jen, one of the kitchen staff, and Amy (owner) were all rotating taking turns holding him and playing with him so we could enjoy our food! SUCH AMAZING PEOPLE & SERVICE!! ATMOSPHERE: Everyone was so warm. Small town kindness and warmth everywhere you turned. I LOVED that they had 2 sides you could sit at, a family side and the bar side (which also had AMAZING live music). EVERY staff member that made eye contact with us came to say hello. EVERYONE had a smile on their face. And the atmosphere had to have been one of the warmest and welcoming a restaurant could offer. We also so appreciated the section on the family side with children's books and toys and provides such a wonderful experience for families to be able to get food and relax while the kiddos have their own section to stay busy. We also had a chance to meet the owners Clay and Amy, because they were going around table to table to say hello and chat with the customers. read more

Really good food, this family run eatery is one of the few places in town to grab a meal so I ate here over my weeks visit a few times and everything I tried was very good to really good. This establishment is cash only. This is true comfort food, done right. There are a lot of options for most tastes, from great local beef burgers and fries to huge salads and several plate choices as well. My first trip in I went for the Merles Rueben, this is a seriously good corned beef sandwich piled thick with lean flavorful corned beef and then topped with cheese and thousand island on toasted bread. I have eaten a lot of ruebens over the years and this one is up there. True classic and true to definition, this is a Rueben done right. This eatery also has great house made desserts daily, so I had to try the blueberry apple cobbler with ice cream. It was excellent a great combo of sweet, tart fruit, pastry and ice cream. On another trip I went for one of the huge house specialty salads this one was loaded with a mountain of leafy greens and micro greens, along with sliced tomato, fresh jalepeno slices, guacamole, and then a local Diamond beef pattie topped with melted pepperjack cheese. With the dressing on the side. This is a great salad, filling and an excellent combination of textures, flavors and ingredients. Definitely a winner. This cafe is a hub in the community, and runs short weeks (thurs-sun?) only open a portion of the week. The staff are all friendly and kind, the owner on site and always checking on customers. Definitely worth a stop and support. 4.5 Stars rounded up for the engaged ownership and staff 00865 read more

Way off the beaten path, lies this gem. I've eaten many burgers from around the world, none, hold a candle to "Their signature burger" it's simply amazing in every way. They even raise and process their own grass fed beef! Add the amazing homemade butter cake dessert, service, atmosphere, and, price, it seems almost unbelievable in this day and age. This place is worth the trip, you're missing out if you pass this up. read more

Omg. So good! The pecan chicken was absolutely delicious. The mashed potatoes were lumpy and PERFECT. The veggies were great. What a great place to take a break. read more

Small town restaurant and bar. Yes this is a real restaurant, great quality and portions, this does come at a fair price. I love the Hebe, cheese steak sandwich and fried mushrooms. We always try to grab one meal each time we go to young. Call ahead to verify open hours, hunting seasons and town events affect days and hours of operation. Very friendly people, very easy to get to know them here, open and welcoming. read more

Excellent food and service. We had the grass-fed hamburgers, French dip, and the green chili burrito bowl special. Everything was fresh. Our young waiter, Joseph, was the best. read more

Excellent burgers, excellent service. The trip from Mesa was worth it. I will recommend it to family and friends, and we will return soon! read more

Wonderful country restaurant & bar situated in the small town of Young, AZ along the Globe-Young Highway just down from the Sierra Ancha mountains. Rustic lodge like interior, friendly people, good eats and a couple of old wood stoves cranking out the heat on cold days! Our group of Jeepers had camped up in the Sierra Ancha mountains Saturday night before breaking camp Sunday morning and diving into Young specifically for lunch at Antlers. The warm and welcoming Antlers environment made for a much needed stopover before hitting the dusty road back through the mountains toward Globe. Enjoyed my meal and will definitely stop in again when passing through Young. read more

I was in the area for work and was told this was the spot to grab a bite. Well I am thankful out team did go on 5/19! Had the steak sandwich that was just awesome. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. My lunch that day made it very difficult 160 mile trip home that afternoon because of the food coma I got. I also did get a homemade cobbler apple and blueberry to go. I was able to enjoy that later that evening, good stuff. read more

The service there is fantastic! The food is good.. but is overpriced.. would recommend eating there .. nice ambience.

Great food, generous portions, awesome menu variety, outstanding local beef, wonderful and very accommodating ownership & staff! After trying more than 6 menu items on multiple visits, I can say every one of them was a winner! Thank you to the Wills family & Antlers staff for accommodating our large group with a smile every day. This place is a gem in a small town, and worth the stop every time. read more

My husband and I have eaten here multiple times and we've never been disappointed! The food is always excellent and service is as well. The name describes the atmosphere here perfectly!

Good food good drinks good service good people. New owners doing a good job of keeping the standards as high as they were with the former owners. Worth the drive plus the Pleasant Valley is beautiful and steeped with history. read more

Got dinner here one night while staying in town. This place was by far one of the best small town restaurants I've ever been to. Everything on the menu sounded yummy. Eventually I decided on a salad because I wanted something light & I'm glad I did. It was a berry and nut salad that I added chicken too. It tasted so fresh and the dressing was delicious. It seems that most there were satisfied and frequent visitors. Staff was so friendly it felt like having dinner at a good family friends house. We plan on coming back up to stay and I'd definitely come back here. read more

The food is great, the service is excellent and the ambiance is worth the travel. My wife and I drive from Phoenix at least three times a month to experience the food. Best steaks you'll ever have. read more

Always a great place to stop in Young, AZ...Cheeseburgers are great but if you're looking for a nice dinner, try the chicken marsala! Top it off with a slice of carrot cake!! Bon Appetit read more

Friendly bar and staff. Great food from the kitchen. Justin at the bar greeted me and pour me a refreshing drink. He even remembered my name the next day I came in. Antlers personifies small town Young, AZ, where locals eat as do the many visitors, vacationers, and outdoors lovers. Daily food specials are announced on social media, Instagram and Facebook (maybe more?). They have great burgers and steaks. Kolie's Mac and cheese was good too - bring a big appetite for this dish. One side is cafe style where you may choose to eat in a quieter environment with your family. The other side is the bar, where they also server food and have tables and high top tables. Cash business. They do have an ATM onsite. Great little place to eat or have a drink when in Young, AZ. read more

Owner was very nice. Came over and checked on us, chatted for a bit. My brother got the adult Mac and cheese and I had a burger. Both were good. Comfortable laid back atmosphere. read more

I ate the most amazing burger of my life at Antlers. I like a charred on the edges but medium rare center and this burger was perfect. I'm gluten free and I ordered it protein style, presentation was beautiful. I know Young is out of the way for many of you, but I promise the trip down the unpacked road is more than worth it!!! read more

We love eating at Antlers when we are in town. The staff is so friendly and the atmosphere is great. I had the hebe on fries instead of a roll which really is like spicy Philly Cheesesteak. My dad had the bacon burger and fries We have butter cake for dessert and Holy moly. It is so incredibly delicious but also very rich. It comes out serves warm with a buttery sauce and a strawberry on top. Yum!! read more

It's all good! Food, service, atmosphere, and scenery. The beef is locally raised, and the desserts are superb. My favorite are the hebe sandwich and the 14 ounce new York strip. Enjoy the drive! Great day drive out of the valley, or if you're camping, a nice place to visit. read more

Such friendly service and the food was delicious. We ordered burgers and patty melts, and everyone oohed and awwwed. Fries are yummy. Topped it off with some delicious carrot cake. Check out this family owned spot next time you're in town! read more

Great staff great food! Cash only so bring money or they have an ATM. Would definitely recommend to others

You can't go wrong with Antlers! Great fun comfy atmosphere,owners are sweet and welcoming. The food is great; the steak burger is amazing! Pecan chicken is the best! Carrot cake is perfect.

Absolutely unexpected great food in Young, AZ. Fun environment with a family run restaurant. Good people, great service, even had some live singing on one Friday night. read more

We happened to be passing through Young, AZ (our annual family camping trip) with my father-in-law, and he was all "Hey, Antlers is open again! That was a great restaurant!" So, we stopped for dinner. It's apparently under new management. I can't say it was the best hamburger I've ever had, but it was easily in the top 5. The fries were easily in the top 5 too, and I am generally not a fries person. Our waiter (I am so bad with names, but he said his parents were the new owners) was friendly and helpful. The atmosphere/ambience was great too. Totally worth the trip into Young. read more

Fantastic food and service! Healthy options that taste great (Check out Clay's awesome options for choices to help you slim down!) and all your favorite bar style options (the fried mushrooms are bomb!). Light lunch style sandwiches and comfort food style dinners. Family friendly and large enough to host larger parties... it was a great time! read more

Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Good food too.

Great food. Great location. In the center of a great forest. I love the quote in another review that said a great thing about Antlers is that is isn't in Scottsdale. Steven G, you nailed it. We're neighbors up there now & I look forward to many many happy times. read more

This is a great place to eat. Great menu with something for everyone. The steaks are really good and from local ranchers. Everyone is nice. It's a fun drive in from the valley a few times a month. It's a fun drive and by the time we get there we are hungry by the time we get there. Really home town local feeling. read more
