Anton's meat & eat, South African SA & British UK Market

Anton's premium meat products are some the finest in the whole North Texas area. (DFW & beyond) Meaning superior quality in every way and reasonable prices as well. On my last visit, Anton himself taught me more about properly selecting meat (steaks in this case), in 15 minutes than any other meat market or butcher has in all of my sixty three years on earth. No question in my mind that this company is passionate about the products they offer and truly care about the customers that receive them. But don't take my word for it. Do yourself a favor and check these guys out. I bet you will be every bit as impressed as I am. Good luck.

This place was awesome! It doesn’t have to be a suit and tie affair to be five star. We could feel the good vibes as soon as we walked in. The staff and owner are very friendly and welcoming. We had never tried this place before and I knew my family had never eaten African food before. They were very pleased and entertained. Anton made a fresh traditional meal for me and I felt like part of the family. I can’t pronounce half the stuff, but I recommend going in there hungry. Round 2, tried the Oxtail and my wife had the triplet breakfast. This place is like having a family member that cooks for fun. The food was delicious and we left needing a nap. Yep, just like visiting family.

We had an amazing experience at Anton's. The owners are very friendly and welcoming and the food is AMAZING! I am South African and enjoyed to have a taste of home. My American husband enjoyed the meal just as much as I did. The owners were super accommodating and I felt like I was visiting family for lunch. I will most certainly be purchasing their yummy products online and cannot wait to visit Texas again, just to go back to Anton's.

A seriously nice place, and great food to boot! I had a lamb curry bunny chow, slap chips, and a carrot cupcake. The bunny chow bread was pillowy soft and the lamb curry was well spiced and super tender. I got my food to go so the the chips were a little soft by the time I made it home. I’m sure if I had eaten in house they would’ve been better, but they were still tasty regardless. The chef also very kindly gave me the carrot cupcake, au gratis, because he said the chips portion size just seemed a little smaller than normal. I told him it looks decent to me, but he insisted. I’ll be heading back there soon for sure!

I love this place. I went there this morning with my wife and kids. My boys were interacting with family that operate the restaurant. I've never had South African food, but the flavors are nothing far from what we've already had. I love the oxtail, it was so tender and cooked correctly. You have to try the meat pies is well. Everything here is fresh and taste like there's a lot of love put into this food. Must recommend place for anyone that wants to take a step away from the mainstream stuff going around

This is a phenomenal place to eat. The food is made from scratch, authentic and fresh. Bunny chows were my favorite. I gotta go back and try other items like the oxtail and bobotie. This restaurant is a true gem and the owners are the nicest people you can meet!

We have driven past this place a few times and we were always curious. We love to find local and unique places to try. This is definitely a place like that, for those that are not too adventurous you can still find something you would enjoy too. The family that runs the restaurant were very warm and welcoming. They took the time to explain all the options available. We ended up trying quite a bit of food, and everything was great. We enjoyed the sausage called Boerewors, the fried bread called vetkoek, and the cheese scones. The vetkoek is really delicious and you can try it plain or with a jam or curry. If we lived closer I would pick this up to have at home and serve for events. The savory pies were hearty and satisfying. We tried a fresh cinnamon roll and thought it was great too. All the prices were fair and reasonable. They had a lot of drink options and unlimited coffee. Everything is made fresh daily and you can place to go orders or stop by and pick up items to prepare at home. The bathroom was clean and parking was easy. Overall, we enjoyed the restaurant and recommend it.

Wonderful spot! This was my first time having South African food, and it was a great experience. The staff took the time to walk us through the menu before we ordered, and the chef explained each dish as they were brought out (we ordered a bunch of stuff and wouldn’t really have known what was what). The food was delicious! Also, this place is half restaurant and half market, so it was cool to spend some time looking at all the products from South Africa.

Anton's is not like any store or restaurant in the DFW area. They are a grocery market specializing in imported goods. You will find high quality imported goods mainly sourced from UK & South Africa premium manufacturers. This is a family owned business with a lot of charm and great tasting fresh breads, meat pies, meat products like biltong (beef jerky). Their imported groceries are a true find with spices, canned goods, jarred goods, custards, biscuits, candies, crisps, meats, and so much more. They started in this small shop in Roanoke (North Ft. Worth) and expanded twice in the same location to support their restaurant (scratch kitchen) and now a grocery store. During the holidays they offer hot cross buns and other seasonal goods so visit often. Go by and say hello to Nicole and Anton, shop and enjoy great food. Support local!!!

Get the biltong, amazing biltong, angus, wagyu, piri, piri. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend the Cabanossi, meat pastries, and ofcourse The BISON. What an amazing unique establishment. Huge shout out to Nicole and Anton for their kindness and PHENOMENAL store!

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!

Edited to add that we still return here and they have now added a mini grocery store filled with South African delights (and a few treats from England too!).

Big fan of Anton's. Picked up groceries yesterday including spicy biltong and 2 hot chicken flattie's. The peri peri marinate is delicious! Support local!

We love to get the frozen foods. The pastry pies are wonderful! We have several varieties frozen in our home freezer. They come in especially handy during the holidays. We just had a Cornish pastry pie and it was delicious!

Good biltong, only wish they still had the mini cafe and served the farm bread. They do have the recipes online though. Also the staff is very friendly and will let you have samples. great service overall!

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

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!

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!

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.

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

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!!!

Lekker! The biltong is excellent! Super clean and friendly staff. Great selection in market offerings.

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.

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?!

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.

Great family atmosphere....great selection of unique items for purchase and to eat!!! #supportlocal Check them out!

Heard About anton's from stix666 on youtube. Tried it,very good and Anton and staff were great. Will go back against

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!

I'll keep it short. The service was great but The flavors were not for me and the dish was full of fat!

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!

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!

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

Hands down best restaurant in Roanoke! This is a family friendly mom and pop scratch whole REAL foods store AND restaurant! I love their breakfast and taking their sausage pastries to go. Makes an easy healthy meal for the family! We will be coming here more than weekly for a while!

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.

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.

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.

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

You need to eat here. IT IS SO GOOD!!! They are totally the best I love them. Do yourself a favor and check them out.

Really good food and if you're looking for something different this is it. It is a family run and family friendly restaurant. It is very casual but it's food can be casual or kinda fancy depending on what you order. They also have baked goods and some bottled drinks that are authentic and again pretty dang good. They have a fries appetizer which are sat and vinegar chips and are pretty dang amazing. Give this place a chance it's delish.

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!

I met up with some friends there for brunch. The food was delicious and the staff was friendly and professional. I can't wait to go back.

Went there for lunch and had a great experience. The food was awesome and the people are so friendly and explained the menu. Everything we had was yummy and we took some to go. We will definitely be back. The coffee is really good too.

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.

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

Great fresh market with fantastic food options. The market has a lot of food pantry products, bread, etc. with better ingredients than you'll find in your local chain stores, so if you're looking for a spot (think little sprouts but better) that has quality items including fresh meat to take home and cook near Roanoke this is your place. The cooked food here is also fantastic with the biltong (my kids love it...think beef jerky but better), meat pies, savory lamb minced, breakfast omelettes, bobotie, all are fantastic. When it comes to service it feels like an extension of home when you're there. If you're in DFW you need to stop in and experience the food, service, and the store it won't disappoint.

Such a great place and top notch experience every time! These owners care about their customers and community. The food is absolutely amazing. So authentic. Their grocery line gets me excited too because I can buy all my South African childhood favorites. If you like beef jerky, try their biltong!! Best ever!!

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.

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.

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

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.

By far the best place to stop in Roanoke, Tx! The lamb curry bunny chow might just be the best thing I've ever eaten! I've been coming here for almost two years now and they never disappoint. The atmosphere is very homey and the staff makes you feel like you're apart of the family. Highly recommend to anyone in the area to try it! Just once! You won't regret it!

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.

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.

Owner is very nice and she answered all my questions and provided great suggestions. Slap fries were great. Please do give them a try as there are so many great fresh homemade goodies.

Just not good. Weird atmosphere and unfriendly people working. Seriously one of the oddest and most unfriendly dining experiences I've ever had. My wife was creeped out We took a couple of bites, chalked it up as a loss and grabbed a salad at some place in the same parking lot. Seriously one of the most uncomfortable and worst meals I've ever had. Total creep vibe.

This place is so cool and incredibly tasty! Their bread is so delicious! The ground meat sandwich was awesome!
