Anton's Restaurant

Absolutely fantastic! I went here with family for a birthday celebration and we had a party of 8. We had an earlier dinner at around 4:30 PM and the restaurant was pretty dead but by the time we left it definitely filled up! I saw other reviews complain about service but our waitress was amazing! Maybe because it was not as busy, just something to keep in mind!I have zero complaints about the food, actually quite the opposite- the food was an absolute 10/10 and I can't imagine ever getting something here that is not delicious. Everyone at our table was thrilled with their entrees. Each entree comes with a 'house roll' and they are huge! Definitely not what I expected since I do prefer savory bread with salted butter, but these rolls were slightly sweet and had a creamy butter they were served with. They were not the greatest rolls I've had in my life but very tasty! My boyfriend and I each ordered a pasta entree and let me tell you, the Cajun pasta was incredible! My mom is from the south and she makes an amazing version but this was the best I have ever had in a restaurant. The pasta had shrimp, sausage, and chicken and a delicious creamy sauce that had a little bit of heat. I will absolutely get this again if I am in the area! My boyfriend's dish was the Gouda chicken pasta and it was also quite good. Not as good as mine, in my humble opinion, but that pasta also had an addictive creamy sauce with a strong note of cheesy goodness! If you love gouda you would love this, just needs a tish more salt for me. Overall, a wonderful experience and such a sweet location. We got to see geese walking around the building while overlooking the water. The interior is very rustic but still romantic nonetheless.

Love this place! It's an old school supper club on the river with great atmosphere, fun service and delicious food. Kid friendly. Overall, great place for a good dinner.

A lovely evening to sit outside and enjoy the great view. I had a blackberry mule for a drink and it was tasty, albeit a bit weak. Another in our group had one of the old fashioneds and he said it was quite strong.We ordered mussels for an appetizer and they were great. The popovers were also good. Our main meals were steak Oscar, sirloin, and ahi tuna. The sirloin was cooked as ordered (medium rare) and tasted good. The Steak Oscar was also ordered medium rare but came a bit more cooked than that, and was tough. The Ahi tuna was good. Asparagus was cooked perfectly. For dessert, we shared a chocolate lava cake and it was good too.Overall: Friendly service. Great outdoor patio. Nice variety of menu options.

My wife's sister had her retirement dinner at Anton's. Any excuse to go to Anton's, is a good excuse. The restaurant is on the river. At the time of writing this review though, it is in the river. :'-( Every couple of years the river gets so high, that it floods the restaurant. We got our feet wet leaving the restaurant. Anton's changes their menu yearly, keeping their seafood, steak and pasta dishes always delicious. The one menu item that is included in nearly every meal though, is their Popover with Honey Butter. This bread delight is as addicting as Red Lobster's cheese biscuits. Tonight I went with the Cajun Pasta, with a medley of steak, chicken and shrimp. Absolutely delicious. My daughter's cheeseburger was cooked perfectly medium, and for a unique change, she finished her burger. My wife had a fancy Steak Raspberry Salad, which she found delicious and healthy. I will happily drive an hour to eat here. The food and atmosphere is always a delight.

This place is adorable. It appears to have once been a speakeasy, and if it wasn't, they fooled me. They have all kinds of fun wall decor. And this place is huge. It seemed that the rooms with seating were never ending, and I never made it to the upstairs seating area. When the weather is warm, they have an upstairs patio/porch seating area as well that looks over the water. They have these neat tables that look like buggy's pulled behind horses as well as regular tables. Our server was Lisa and she was great! She was friendly, helpful, and attentive. They do have a smaller menu. Many items have shrimp or another seafood incorporated. Almost all entrees come with a popover served with honey butter. We each had the ribeye with the august in potatoes. Steak was cooked to perfection at medium rare. The potatoes had an amazing flavor but could have been cooked a little longer. Can't wait to come back here when it is nice out and try the upstairs area seating.

Stopped in with the Wife on a Friday around 5. Not many cars in the parking lot and the building is not much to look at. But like they say don't judge the restaurant by the parking lot! Or something like that. Food: we started with shrimp/artichoke dip and is was very good. For the main course we both ordered steaks. I have the ribeye and the wife had the New York with mushrooms. Both had the Asiago potatoes. All the food was extremely good. Our server was very polite and helpful. She recommended the steak to my better half. What really sets this place apart is the ambiance. Our booth had a covered wagon feel. Felt like the Dutton's in 1883. Very quiet for a late afternoon date. The 4 stars for this place is right on. I would definitely recommend Anton's and we will more than likely be back when we are in the St. Cloud area.

Hands down, probably the worst restaurant food in Saint Cloud. Everything is frozen food, and they can't even get that right. Let alone asparagus, come on.. Butter, salt pepper, easy. First restuarant that I wasn't even able to eat vegetables. $30+ for halibut that 100% looked like it was cooked out of a box, tasted like a microwave meal, and the center was cold. Microwaved. 86 it. I would be curious to go back into the kitchen, Gordon Ramsey would shut this place down for good. The owners should have taken the insurance flood money and ran. Your sauces do not pair with anything, fire your chef, and change your menu. People don't come and pay out the arse for frozen food that we can cook better at home. $110 for 2 and tasted like shyte. Popovers and wait staff were literally the only plus. Shut it down or go fresh food with a new chef.P.s. I don't write any reviews. The dinner was 100% inedible and got tossed, we both were in the toilet, throwing up and shyting our guts out. Thanks for that.

Maybe the worst restaurant experience I have ever had. Four went for dinner celebrating a bday. First of all, the mixed drinks were weak for all. One person asked for an additional tall beer later on and what came was a medium sized mug. Appetizers of muscles and stuffed mushrooms were fair as the muscles were somewhat small and the stuffed mushrooms were presented as a mushroom cap with a scoop of Thanksgiving stuffing on it. Not sure how many there were, maybe 3-4, since they were drenched in a lot of sauce. The main courses were fair at best. My walleye was small. When I asked for tartar sauce, it took 10-15 minutes to get it leaving my fish somewhat tepid to eat. My wife had Steak Oscar and it was horrible. The steak was tough and it had an unusual flavor. The crab on the steak was cold and had an odd grey appearance. The brussel sprouts were overcooked and soggy laying in a bed of bacon with some blue cheese crumbles on top - inedible. The third had stuffed shrimp and received 5 shrimp with 5 scoops of stuffing laying on them that was supposed to include seafood. The last meal was satisfactory. You would think that we should discuss the Steak Oscar meal with the waitress. Not possible. The waitress never came back after delivering the food to check on us, to see how we were enjoying the food, or to see if we needed more drinks. Nothing!! Two other waitresses working the room were in and out several times but our waitress never came back to check on us. She did return about 20 minutes later at the end of the meal asking if we wanted anything else. Yes! The check so we can get out of there. (It wasn't worth complaining at this point and further spoiling the bday dinner.)Not only was the food and service bad, but the meals were overpriced especially the appetizers and watered down drinks. The only thing that we really liked was the rustic log cabin ambiance. When we went to leave from the back of the restaurant, it was empty. So, why was our waitress absent for so long?Needless to say, we will not be returning.

Loved my experience at Antons. Unique gem overlooking the Sauk River. Food and service were excellent.

Always excellent! We had a siblings and their Mother holiday together with spouses. Our server took care of all 9 of us well. The food, service and ambiance were all wonderful.
