Eagan’s dining scene just got even more exciting with the arrival of Copper & Rye, the newest restaurant to open at Viking Lakes.
Located in the heart of the growing Viking Lakes development, Copper & Rye brings a warm, modern atmosphere paired with elevated comfort food, handcrafted cocktails, and a menu designed to bring people together. Whether you’re stopping in before an event, meeting friends for happy hour, or enjoying a family dinner, the restaurant delivers an experience that feels both upscale and approachable.
One of the standout features is the food itself. The menu takes familiar favorites and gives them a creative, chef-driven twist. Guests are already raving about dishes like the Wagyu Smash Burger, Lobster Mac & Cheese, Hot Honey Salmon, Swedish Wagyu Meatballs, and Prime Rib Sandwich. Shareable starters like the Whipped Feta Dip, Lobster Queso, and Beer-Battered Cheese Curds make it easy to try a little bit of everything.
The restaurant also offers a thoughtful cocktail program and an impressive whiskey selection, creating a lively gathering space that fits perfectly within the Viking Lakes community. With its spacious dining room, large bar area, and patio seating, Copper & Rye is quickly becoming a go-to destination for both locals and visitors.
Owned by Trellis Hospitality, the group behind several well-known Twin Cities restaurants, the concept was designed to feel welcoming and community-focused while still delivering a high-quality dining experience.
As Eagan’s food scene continues to grow, Copper & Rye is another exciting addition that showcases the variety and quality of dining experiences available throughout the city.
