Best Authentic Restaurants in Eagan

This restaurant is one of my favorites! The food is always exceptional, and the modern, beautifully designed atmosphere makes it such a welcoming place to dine. The staff are consistently friendly, professional, and attentive, which adds a personal touch to every visit. I’ve eaten here several times, and each experience has been wonderful. While it can get a little loud at times, it’s never taken away from how much I’ve enjoyed being here.

Our new favorite go to steakhouse! Some of the best steak we’ve ever tasted! Salad bar was crisp & fresh!. The service was amazing! (Thank you to Manuel & Cidicley! Your hospitality/service was awesome!) Ambience & decor very comfortable. YOU WILL ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE! ❤️

Definitely a step above a typical shawarma / gyro place with a full menu of Mediterranean dishes. It is also weirdly enough a local watering hole with an extensive beer and cocktail menu and a lot of folks hanging out and playing pull tabs. I would recommend making a family style meal of the many small plates available so that you can try a little bit of everything. If you are already familiar with the mezza table, the food is solid and a fairly basic representation of the cuisine. There are certainly more authentic/gourmet places to eat, but probably not at anywhere near the very modest price point of this establishment. For two of us with a drink each and a sampler platter to split (which was perfect for two modest appetites) we walked away for 40 bucks, which is hard to do for a sit-down meal these days. . The atmosphere is a bar, and not particularly romantic or a great place for a quiet conversation. It is a good place to get together with a bunch of people.

The food was delicious, reasonably priced. The server was attentive but not intrusive. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch.

Love Buca. Plenty of pasta and sauce options for the kids. Not bad vegetarian options.
