Ole Piper Inn

When I used to live and work up in the Fridley/Blaine area I used to come frequently to Ole Piper Inn for breakfast/brunch/lunch. Today I was up visiting family and had some free time and really wanted to come back and have my favorite Hang Over Hashbrowns again! They did not disappoint either!Ole Piper has a great menu, a comfortable space and excellent service. The food is always spot on as well. I almost always get the Hangover Hashbrowns with a side of Hollandaise. Low in fat...not at all. Worth it...Yes! The Hashbrowns are perfectly cooked, delicious sauteed onion and green peppers, jalapenos, and sausage over the top with cheese and an egg of your choice (I do over easy for this). I add some Sriracha and I am in heaven! The service is always friendly and efficient and the ambiance is a diner type feeling with a bit of a bar vibe.Definitely recommend if you live or are visiting the area!

0/5/2024This is always a stop when we're in town. Unfortunately, during today's visit, the waitress was extremely rude, and that's an understatement. We called ahead since we had a large group. The kind hostess showed us to our tables and even offered an additional table when they didn't have enough chairs. A few minutes later, a waitress (baseball hat on, long hair, section by kid crane games), however, was NOT happy, came over to the table and said, "You need to move. We have other customers." We explained to her nicely that the hostess offered us the table. She wasn't having it at all and said "that's too bad. Join the other tables you already have. It's not my problem you don't want to sit with the kids." Keep in mind, the kid table was full (we squished in as many as we could), the high top nearby was near full, but since I had a baby with that needed a high chair, I asked where she would like the three of us to go with the baby since the high tops won't work with a high chair. My husband asked about two other empty tables/booths that were smaller, but she said those were for other customers (although there were lots of empty tables in the restaurant and nobody waiting at that time). Asking what we should do or where we should sit, she said "figure it out. We need this table. You're not the only customers, you know." I said, "you are being very rude," and she responded with "you're just mad because you're not getting your way." I was in disbelief.I've worked in the service industry myself, but regardless of the situation, I would never speak to a customer in this manner. In fact, had she POLITELY requested we move and explained the mix up between her and the hostess, found seats for us, or offered any other solution than just "move", I wouldn't be writing this. She never once greeted us politely, apologized for the inconvenience, offered a soliton. A nearby table, who clearly had waited awhile requested to order from her, and she spent the first few minutes bitching about our group to the customers. It was an unbelievable experience - one I've never had a restaurant. She's clearly not a fan of groups, or kids with their parents in town for a tournament, or quality customer service.

Best all day, every day breakfast (at a bar) in the cities!Their breakfast is fantastic: I love benedict con queso and their omelettes with hashbrowns extra crispy. I've heard good things about their pizza. Service at the bar is fantastic, upbeat, and fun. Table service is decent as well. I've never had to wait more than 5 minutes for a table during their weekend breakfast rush hours.

Stopped in on May14,2024 @ 8:25am.Sign in entry way said seat yourself so I did. It took 15 minutes for anyone to come over to ask if I wanted a menu.Said I've been sitting here for 15 minutes.Told the waitress that the sign said seat yourself and she said I wasn't aware of that.No apology or anything for not acknowledging I was there. So I got up and left.Usually they are very good at service.Very disappointed!!Have this isn't a new problem.Will I go back ? I don't know yet.There are other places to go for a good breakfast!

Overpriced crappy dive with rude staff. Food is not that great, portions have gotten smaller and prices higher than the local fancy places. Went in with a group of 10, place was empty and staff huff and puffed throwing herself around and mumbling Jesus Christ. So rude we left before we even sat down and went down the road to Oliver's where we were treated well. I emailed management about our experience and did not even get a response.

It's bar food, nothing to write home about. It's good, we have always had good service. It's usually busy, so it's obviously decent food. I don't think they have anything "healthy" on the menu, but if you're hungry for a burger and fries they got you.I do like breakfast here as well, but again it tastes good, not really good for you. I would say it has more of a bar feel than restaurant.

Had a late breakfast here today. We've been wanting to try this place for breakfast but always so busy there is nowhere to park. We had great service today and the food was tasty. I ordered the egg combo with bacon and my husband had the egg combo with sausage. We both got the coffee which was very good.

We stopped by here for a late breakfast today. We have tried coming here in the past and it has been so busy but it was an off time so not too bad today. I got the eggs and sausage combo. It was good. Their coffee was very good. We also had great service. Thank you.

I have never been treated so rudely before in my life. The food and ambiance were ok. it's hard to give a decent score for anything else when we were treated so horribly by the staff. We were with a large group that had called ahead to see if they could accommodate us. There wasn't enough room at the table so we sat at the table behind and staff came up and said "oh she hasn't gotten here yet she's kind of busy especially when you just sit where ever you want."when staff brought out our food neither my husband or I heard her come to the table until she said "hello, HELLO!" never again.

Rude rude rude. Every time I go whether for pick up or dine in. Now the folks that seem to occupy the bar seats daily seem to get better service. Guess you have to come daily to be treated well. One person in our group got their food 20 minutes after everyone else. No apologies or discount on the meal. We won't be back
