Very low rent type of place if that's what your into. This place is located in a strip mall besides a liquor store, a check cashing store, and a tobacco store. The patrons sit and chain smoke as you try to enter the bar. But, the rude staff offer there own misery.
If you read the reviews of other yelpers you can see that the staff at the Piper are quite rude. I only went to the Piper one time, but I can honestly say the staff here treated me with the highest level of disrespect. I have never had such bad service at least without an apology and a refund. However, my own mother likes Piper but says the waitresses are little %@*#&!.' and they need to fire some girls there.
We had to order our own beers and we were never asked if we wanted any food. After I finally found the waitress I ordered food and it took so long I started to wonder where it was. As, my boyfriend and I got up to leave the waitress came out with the food but we were actually at the door. I was pissed. My boyfriend being the nice guy he is actually paid for the cold food. Â Still no apology. So, we took it home. We open the take out boxes and guess what? COLD AND GREASY. He called to complain about the cold food and bad service and all the girl said was I will talk to my staff. No apology. No refund.
So, yelpers please be advised and read the other reviews the Ole Piper Inn has rude staff and bad service.
If you are looking for good pub food in the 55434 area I suggest Trappers.
This place burned down for a reason.
This wonderful, fun bar & grill/restaurant was destroyed by fire in early November 2012. Hubby & I are distressed for all the wonderful people who work there & have made our experiences there fun. Fires are never 'convenient' but this one comes at the busiest time of the year for them & the owner who also owns the liquor store in the same strip mall.
I spoke with one of the servers when I saw her out & about in the Blaine area. She hopes the plan is to rebuild. The reality is that such an undertaking will most likely take 6 months.
We wish every person affected by this fire the best of everything. We look forward to a grand opening whenever it occurs!
A fine pub and diner atmosphere if that's what you're looking for. The typically over-broad menu, which means they probably aren't fantastic at any one thing but competent at most. We had three different kinds of grub, and nobody had any complaints.
Close to the NSC fields if you need a place to eat during a tourament or such that's not quite next to the fields (those restaurants right next to NSC can be awfully busy during the big tournies!).
I want to love this place.......but they don't want me to.
The family and I brought Gram here for mothers day at around 2pm. The meal itself want terrible (it was adequate at best) but the service was unbearable. Our server Krista was having a bad day and wanted everyone to know it. Her greet consisted of "what can i bring you to drink?" Really? Its mothers day and you have 2 obvious mothers at the table......no acknowledgement. My wife ordered an omelet and asked if she could add a couple of items, no response. I ordered a salad and asked what dressings they had. I shit you not, she rolled her eyes at me and responded "french, blue cheese, thousand island....." Â As if I were stupid and annoying for not knowing which dressing they had. Gram ordered coke, no biggie, until she ordered another and the server set it down and said "pepsi", Gram didnt understand so she said "I actually ordered coke." the server snapped back "its pepsi". Damn....sorry! Just all interactions were very short and curt and it was just very clear that someone had pissed in her wheaties prior to her shift. Uncomfortable.
I am a little conflicted writing this review. My visit to the Ole Piper Inn had absolutely nothing wrong with it. I feel a little guilty giving them 3 stars. Simply put, there was no WOW factor. However, every aspect of the meal was JUST FINE.
Upon arriving, Ole Piper is in a little strip mall just N of HWY 10 on Hwy 65. Its an older restaurant, but the place was clean. Semi-busy (half full) on a weekday night.
Drinks: Beer selection is limited to bottles. I select a Guiness. Taps were light whatever only.
Food: Steak sandwich for me, my wife had fish and chips (with a salad).
The steak was a 6 oz sirloin cooked medium. Juicy and flavorful on Texas toast. Fries were 3/8" strips (no skin). Prepared nicely, just no WOW.
Fish and chips was pollock. Crisp, fresh, tasty. but again no WOW.
The service was friendly and prompt. I will return.
The dinner was a good value 1 Guiness, soda, steak sandwich, and fish and chips for $28.
Please Ole Piper upgrade the beer and add a daily special. I have 2 more stars with your name on them.
We stopped in tonight for dinner and a beer. Â I had the Desert Heat Burger. Â It wasn't too spicy to me, someone who loves spicy! Â However it was great and it also had a really thick slice of tomato on it. Â
My boyfriend had the Piper burger; adding fried onions, waffle fries and the sour cream dip.  I recommend the crispy, tasty waffle fries as I snatched several of  his rather than eating my regular fries.  I was told the Piper burger was pretty good.  They forgot the fried onions, but once reminded they promptly brought out a side.  And by side, I mean they brought out what seemed to be half an onion!!
The service was great; polite and attentive. Â We thought one of the tap beers tasted off. Â The manager was very accommodating by switching it out for a bottled beer instead.
Looking forward to going back for both the good food and good service!
The entire experience rides right down the middle. You could tell our waitress would rather be anywhere but there serving us and she kept getting our beverages wrong. My friend's brother wanted a Coke. I wanted a Diet Coke with grenadine. First round he got Diet and I got Coke with grenadine. Second round he got his Coke and I just got a plain diet. This is not difficult! She switched us to big glasses the second time. Perhaps to keep from having to come back and refill?
Chili cheese tater tots were a cool idea. The tots were nice a crunchy on the outside. It's topped with decent chili and real cheese. Pizzas are also pretty good, but nothing spectacular.
It's pretty divey, but I wouldn't be opposed to returning. Wednesday night is karaoke night.
A hidden gem!
Piper consistently puts out quality food at good prices. Wait staff is  friendly and the place is full of regulars.
Good wings, good taco salad, good nachos (shocking!). I'm typically there for lunch so no comment on the bar. I love that I can get breakfast all the time.
They deliver too!
This place has darts. AND a jukebox. AND a Bloody Mary bar.
If you have read any of my other reviews, you know that that's all it takes to make me happy.
The food is great quality and inexpensive. The service has generally been good, with a few (very few, considering how often we frequent this place) notable exceptions.
Two funny things I love about the place:
1. Almost without fail, the boy's steak Caesar salad is set in front of me while he gets my rodeo burger with waffle fries. This happens at just about every restaurant we go to where I order the "manly" meal however, so it's not really isolated to the Piper.
2. Our server, the energetic blonde also working behind the bar always gets flustered and upset on the few occasions where I have paid, or we split the check. She called the boy out on it once, "This just feels so wrong. I feel wrong letting her pay for you. Why won't you pay for your girlfriend?!" Picture a soft-spoken, but indignant voice. Â She really is a sweet heart.
Any Saturday morning when nothing is going on, head over. You will probably find me and the boy in first booth by the window, sipping Bloody Mary's and probably playing pull tabs much to my shame.
There is a meat raffle in the early afternoon where the boy and I have won some pretty good filet mignon and T-bone (this review is getting more and more suburban Minnesotan: I'm gonna quit now before I decide to head home and put a pot roast in the oven).
