Timber Lodge Steakhouse Steak House 16396 Wagner Way, Eden Prairie (612) 937-7629  This has got the best steaks in the twin cities. Even the expensive steak houses can't beat the taste. The portions are huge, the restaurant is open, clean and interesting, and the service is great. Their caesar salads are always fresh and crisp.

#2	Great Mandarin Restaurant Chinese 8251 Flying Cloud Drive, Eden Prairie (952) 941-9828  The lunch buffet is one of the best in the Twin Cities.

Kabuki Sushi & Teppanyaki Japanese, Sushi Bar, Casual/Family, Banquet/Party Room 6534 Flying Cloud Dr., Eden Prairie (952) 941-5115  The sushi bar is set up so you can chat with the chefs and watch the sushi being built. The dining area has sunken tables and screens between them for privacy. The lunch box specials are wonderful and varied. It could have more parking.

#4

Lions Tap Family Restaurant 16180 Flying Cloud Dr, Eden Prairie (952) 934-5299  This place is supposed to be famous for it's great burgers. I've been there 3 times and have had their burgers made in different ways each time. I see no difference (better or worse) than a burger I might fry up on the stove at home.

#5	Green Mill Restaurants Pizzeria 8266 Commonwealth Dr, Eden Prairie (612) 944-3000  Great variety of foods! Pizza is fresh, but you must wait 30 minutes for it. Well worth the wait! Pastas and Calzones are equally delicious. We'll be back!
