At least once a week my husband grabs lunch at Eagan’s. It’s only one block away from his office, on Water Street, which makes it easy for him and many other people who work downtown, to pop in for something quick.
With its great location, cosmopolitan mirrored walls, tile floors, and wood-trimmed bar, Eagan’s is also the perfect place to have drinks or dinner if you are catching a show downtown. A full menu is served from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., seven days a week, and a late-night menu is available until midnight on weekend nights. Brunch is served on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Just a couple of days ago, on a very overcast, crisp, fall day, I met Scott in front of his office and we walked over to Eagan’s for lunch. They offer a full range of salads, sandwiches, and daily-changing soups and specials at affordable prices.
Salads include Lemon Parmesan Pasta, Sun-dried Tomato Chicken, Pecan Chicken, and Grilled Salmon salad, while sandwiches like the Lobster Roll, Turkey Ciabatta and Gourmet PB&J (peanut butter and jelly, fresh berries and toasted almonds on whole wheat bread) keep things interesting.
Scott ended up with a hot meatloaf sandwich with caramelized onions topped with a spicy tomato sauce ($5.50). But for me, this was a day for chili. White bean chicken chili ($2.25 - $3.50). Warm and creamy with just the right amount of spice, this chili was the perfect thing for such a cool day. And now that I’ve had it, I think I may need to rent a nearby office space so that I, too, can indulge in their food on a more frequent basis.
They bake a mean sponge cake there.

Really? I've never noticed that on the menu...
