My girlfriend and I have been coming Here now for about a month now after we stopped in on our first visit. The store is great, lots of South African groceries to choose from. We have been eating in the restaurant every visit, and we haven't had a bad experience from the food, or owners yet, (I don't expect to either.). My new favorite is the, "bobotie," and my gf likes the mince stew a lot! Bobotie has a meatloaf flavor and a bit of a sweetness from what looked like raisins. It's delicious regardless. Their breakfast is great as well! The biltong, (jerky) is a great snack to purchase, if you eat every 3 hours like I do. It'd make a good stocking stuffer around Christmas for your family and friends, if you might not know what to get anyone. All of their products in the shopping center would be Great gifts this holiday season. We will continue to come here weekly to eat, shop, and chat with the owners. They're very friendly, helpful, and make great food! Awesome bakery as well. Their loafed bread is light, fluffy, and scrumptious. I could keep reviewing every item we've had, but it would be better if you just stopped in and tried it for yourselves. Don't be hesitant in stopping in, you won't be displeased! read more

Awsome places It's too far from where I live, but when I do go there It's an awesome place. I like that they are at grocery store and a restaurant all in one Anton has introduced me to south African cuisine, and I am a fan of this cuisine I cannot pronounce the names of some of the items, but the sausage is awesome South African food might be foreign to most of my friends the ones they try they will love it I want to see more South African restaurants in north Texas read more

Home away from home You can't go wrong with any of the dishes here and they have tons of African goodies available for purchase. The owners are always super friendly and made great suggestions. Anton runs a great establishment here and we will continue to support them for many years to come! If you've never had South African fare this is a great spot! read more

It's always good to support your small businesses. Especially Anton's, the customer service is excellent and you will notice it as soon as you walk in. This was my first time here and they were gracious enough to explain the various items available. I tried the minced breakfast sandwich (forgot the name), with a fried egg..... the fried bread... mmm mmm mmm... it was delicious. I will definitely be visiting again to try some of their other items. Anton's proudly supports our first responders!!! Kudos to them. read more

I am so grateful for businesses like this one! They care about the family! They care about their local community, and they spoke out boldy against Drag Queen Story Hour! I wish we had more businesses like this one, which not only invest in unique cuisine, but are not afraid to do what is right and speak up for others. I am really grateful for the pro-family atmosphere of the restaurant, too, plus the fact that they are a grocery store, to boot! read more

What a wonderful... tasty... fun family biz. Anton and Nicole are the delightful hosts of this down to earth, solidly yummy establishment. From explaining their culture to making exquisitely well crafted items it is both am interesting and tasty adventure. Causal atmosphere, good food and definitely worth the drive. Oh... and they sell Vienna hotsogs in their market area!!! read more

Unpretentious, family-friendly restaurant. Owners' young children greeted me for breakfast. My omelette was served with care by Anton himself. I just tried the meatball sandwich. It was delish! My only complaint is the size. I could literally eat 12 of these little sandwiches. read more

Anton's is slightly off the beaten path from the more well known strip of restaurants in Roanoke but is worth a visit. Don't let my three stars throw you off - I can be a critical critic, haha! The family run business is wonderful. Anton is a one man show in the kitchen so at times, not all things are available or sold out. The food is tasteful, but we had a hard time distinguishing the flavors. The bread was great and you can tell extreme care is used in making all of the desserts too. Out of all the items, I think we liked the Chicken Masala the best. Again, go try it for yourself. How often can you say you've had home cooked, South African food in Tarrant/Denton County?! read more

This was my first exposure to South African cuisine and boy have I been missing out! Try everything, it's all delicious! The attached store is great as well. The staff is very friendly and will happily chat with you and make great suggestions. It's nothing fancy when it comes to decor, but the food more than makes up for being visually a little bare bones read more

What a gem! This was my first time to venture into South African cuisine. We had the fried biscuits (small) with meatballs, and it was my favorite thing. We also had the cottage pie as well. So good! Perfect for a cold day! The service was outstanding, the owner was very informative, and friendly. I will absolutely come back. Wish it was open for dinner, but cannot wait to try breakfast! Yummy! read more

Came here for lunch with some coworkers to give it a try and we. regret. nothing. We started off with their Slap Fries and they really were thick! Tasted like quality potato and was topped beautifully with the right amount of salt. They also give you a cup of what looks to be like ketchup but is actually tomato sauce - chef's kiss. You'll have to see for yourself. For the main dish, my coworkers went with bobotie and lamb curry bunny chow while I tried out their beef stew with mashed potatoes and a side of their bread. The meat was so tender, it literally melts in your mouth. The mashed potatoes were hearty and the bread was perfect for scooping/cleaning off the plate. I left no crumbs behind. Oh, and the owners were kind enough to let us try their biltong which was also amazing. Afterwards we walked over next door to their market for desserts. We left with a box of creamy mint tea, a bottle of tomato sauce, a cinnamon roll, melktert, malva cups, and like two other things that I don't remember - BUT, I just had a malva cup and it is the sole reason why I am on here at 11 PM leaving a review. I don't remember what it is but it seemed to be a cake with pudding on top. Whatever it is, it was heaven on earth. It was dense, moist, and perfectly sweet. I told myself to save the other half for tomorrow but I couldn't stop eating it because it was so good. I've yet to try the melktert but I'm sure it'll be just as amazing as everything I've had so far. I definitely will be back to try the rest of the menu. Thank you for treating us so well, too! read more

Excellent array of delicious dishes from south of the equator. I had the Cheese & Mince and it was fantastic. Sorta like an exotic sloppy joe. Also sampled the French toast and noted the wonderful cinnamon finish. A meat ball sampler was desert, and it had a great, almost game-like, flavor. Still enjoying it as I type this. A truly unique restaurant further making Roanoke the Unique Dining Capitol of Texas. read more

Sweet family-owned business. I visited for the first time last week and ordered their Bobotie, lasagna, and meatballs (for my 5 YO). Their food is unique and delicious! I appreciated their personalized service. My son (who is a picky eater) loved their meatballs! This place is a gem. read more

The first time I went to Anton's was to attend a mom meetup. Nicole was an amazing host. My daughter had so much fun playing with the other kids. I love that their oldest was so helpful with the menu and attentive to everyone's needs (it was adorable). I had a cheese scone and omg it was delicious! My daughter had eggs and gobbled them up. Also great coffee which is a must for breakfast. I love that they have since opened the market. Go grab some paprika, bitlong (try it-ask for a sample!) and chocolates (that I could only find on my European trips). Great family friendly place! read more

Very nice, clean restaurant/grocery store. Very friendly service and so many great choices of breads, meats, treats, and more. Family business that I will continue to support and you are missing out if you don't give Anton's a try. read more

Love how many new food and grocery items they have. Imported spicy Irish mustard! Always amazing service as well.

Loved the Biltong! Great staff helped me and found some great chutney!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The food is good, albeit pricey. But on ambiance, be warned, if you don't align with their religious ideals on sexuality, you might not be or be made to feel welcome, as per the owners' publicly posted statements on their right to refuse service. read more

Stumbled upon this amazing spot! Never had African cuisine before and they did not disappoint! My husband is the pickiest eater and he couldn't stop raving! Everything had so much flavor! They let us try the biltong which is basically beef jerky, but waaayyy better! The mince is out of this world! Not to mention the staff are extremely welcoming and friendly and happy to answer any questions! We can't wait to go back and bring friends and family! read more

Anton's meat and eat - Coffee - South African Near Me - Roanoke, Texas

Didn't really enjoy my experience. Everything was pretty overpriced and food was served cold. Do not recommend

Let me start by saying that the biggest turnoff for me is the amount of styrofoam and disposables used here. I came in for breakfast, never having African food before I went in and asked for a recommendation. I had a plain scone, coffee,a lemon cream tart and the "mince, eggs and mushroom breakfast" (my mistake was not asking for a description of what mince is). I assumed it would be some sort of minced meat with spices or something of sort. They were out of mushrooms, so they offer to substitute it for cheese which was fine by me. When the plate arrive I got scrambled eggs with cheese and two pieces of bacon, for $5.00 my expectation was something more substantial. The bacon was hard to cut with plastic cutlery on a styrofoam plate. The scone is $1.75 and it is pretty good, it was freshly baked and the texture is amazing. The tart $4.00 was a bit pricey in my opinion, but overall is also very tasty and rich enough to share or save half of it for later. read more

I've never had South African cuisine before but I was delightfully surprised when I bit into vetkouk with jam and butter. I also had lamb curry with rice along with Natalie's strawberry lemonade. I ordered a dozen banana muffin bites to go for an after school snack for the kids. The place is small but went it for a late lunch which wasn't crowded. Anton himself offered suggestions and made sure everything was alright. Customer service is A+, the food was excellent and I will definitely be back with the family to support this local small business. read more

Anton's meat and eat - South African Near Me - Roanoke, Texas

The most unique restaurant in the Unique Dining Capital of Texas. I've never been to SA, but all the signs point to authentic: the menu is full of things I've never seen before, even though I've traveled quite a bit, and each time I've been there either Africans are eating there or picking something up. Also, unlike anything we Texans are used to, they run out of food. Everything is made from scratch, like cafes in much of the rest of the world, so you need to get there early or call to reserve if you're in the mood for something in particular. Personally, I enjoy the adventure of having to try something new. So far, I've enjoyed everything. The meatballs with tomato and onion are very good for lunch with a side, or surprisingly well paired rolled inside the thick crepes they call pancakes. The mince meat appears to be the SA version of picadillo. It's also very good for lunch with a side, or in a fried bun, which they make fresh every morning. That's the other thing that's really surprising about this place, it's also a bakery. When I traveled to Europe and New Zealand, I always enjoyed the pastries filled with meat. This place scratches that itch if you're looking for that kind of thing stateside. The number of unique, high quality, freshly made items is a little overwhelming. I tend to eat too much when I go. Last time I ordered a meal, then had to try this "sandwich" they make with a homemade loaf of bread filled with curry. I could eat that several times a week for lunch. Hopefully, I'll learn to eat a reasonable amount when I visit, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. In fact, I ate breakfast and lunch there on the same day last week. read more

Everything is made from scratch from the bread to the ice cream, curry's and masala. Anton and his family pour their heart into their food and their hospitality makes you feel like you are a guest at their home. read more

This place is a prime example of the saying: don't judge a book by its cover. First is kind of hidden, from the outside it's nothing much and even when you go inside. But oh my lanta their meat pies is to die for and they have this beef jerky looking thing that was so amazing. People there are absolutely sweet. Definitely a hidden (literally) gem read more

I was given a hard time for leaving LA and that I'd never find "culture" in TX, but as usual, they were all proven wrong. This place is DELICIOUS!! I had a conversation with the owners and I love how passionate they are about their food and maintaining authenticity and freshness. I can't wait to take my family back!! Try the lamb curry....a little spicy and absolutely scrumptious. read more

The food is fresh and amazing! Everything we had was delicious. I ordered the waffle with bacon and egg, which was cooked perfectly. One had the waffle and minced meat, which was very good. One had the meatball hoagie, which was excellent. My husband tried the salted caramel frozen custard, which he really liked also. read more

Such an authentic South African place. Owner makes so much of the product by hand and it's over the moon delicious!!
