Old Piper Inn


We stumbled upon this restaurant when out shopping for gear for our road trip that is coming up.

From the inside the place was a combination of an old bar and a country buffet.  They served an okay Bloody Mary---I prefer Mary's that don't have a lot of Worcestershire sauce.  We thought the idea of a Blood Mary Club was sort of cute.

They had a pinnacle for the kids to try and claw out a stuffed animal, and a golf game that kept Drew and dad busy for awhile.

They serve breakfast all day, presumably to go along with the Bloody Mary Club?

They had a nice kid's menu, with free refills on the soft drinks.  An oreo cookie came with the dinner.  It was a nice incentive for Drew to finish his dinner.

We had a great, friendly server.   We sat in the bar area, because we think it keeps Drew more entertained.  What you say?  Watching stumbling drunks walk around is entertaining.  What do you expect, in addition to a Bloody Mary Club, they have a "Shot" club.  Needless to say, there appeared to be some members of both groups.

In addition, to the tipsy guests in the restaraunt, there other people dining with their families, sipping on soda.  So, the clientele was a mixed bag.

The food was tasty, but as usual, MN fish leaves little to be desired.  The fish was cruncy, and seemed overcooked.   They did serve a side of broccoli with the fish, so perhaps, it was a bit more healthy than the average fish fry.

The waitress offered us a plastic bag to take home our leftovers.   

It was a nice place.  Whether or not we'd return.  Maybe, if we were in the area.
