Our first visit and we went for breakfast. It was nice and busy for 8:00am on a Saturday. Everything was really good. Queso benedict was delicious. A little spice and a perfectly ripe avocado. Ham and cheese omelette also very good. Very cheesy and good quality ham. American style breakfast with sausage patties and subbed biscuits and gravy, again very good. The sausage patties were great quality, fantastic flavor. Very reasonably priced. Service was good. Plenty of parking. They have alot of tv's which would be nice for watching sports. We will certainly be back.

Ole Piper Inn's online menu stating it comes with cheese.

I ordered food from ole piper inn tonight through door dash. I ordered 2 chef salads I asked and paid for extra dressing and extra breadsticks. Problem is the order came with garlic bread which I do not care for. One of the Chef salads had no cheese on it, I decided to call ole piper inn and asked to speak with supervisor, talked with Bill, his response was Our chef salads do not come with cheese, that's odd as the menu says it does and my salad had cheese on it, the other did not. He also replied that they have not had breadsticks for months, I said then you should have added that in the email you sent with the added cost and update your menu then. He said my beef is with door dash, there was nothing he can do. All door dash did was deliver the meal, Ole piper Inn prepared the meal. Very odd, I will NEVER again order or eat here again if this is how they make their customers happy. with an I don't care attitude. And he is the supervisor?

Breakfast combo with French toast
Tippy P.

We were looking for a restaurant that serves breakfast all day, and this is it! My daughter doesn't like breakfast so she was able to order something from the other menu. Busy restaurant during the day, parking lot was full and we had to wait for a table. The line for pull tab was also long. They have a full bar one side and booths on the otherside. Family friendly vibe here, they can accommodate large and small parties. My breakfast combo was big, I had to pack some food home.

Reuben

Service was good. I usually get the Reuben which is awesome. Took my little brother for his birthday and we both ordered the Reuben I was a little upset with the corned beef it was more sauerkraut than meat. Boyfriend got the hot roast beef and mashed potatoes. Didn't care for it. I will give it another try.

Spicy Buffalo Wings

Server was extremely friendly and provided fast service. I had buffalo wings and zuppa toscana soup, and both were phenomenal! Highly recommend!!

Benedict Con-Queso Specialty
Marquie J.

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.

Hangover Hashbrowns
Michelle O.

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!

The written down order I said to the server!

The food was great however I made a over the phone order I had written down as I was reading it off they said the price was 15 dollars more than what was on the website! When I went to go pick up I didn't get half of my order called to correct it and they told me I would have to pay for everything that wasn't there when I didn't even get what I ordered in the first place I read it off a paper written down and they did not offer to fix the issue.

Breakfast, 1/26/2024
Kent G.

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!

Our friendly group at Oliver's
Jessica S.

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.

Buffalo Chicken Wrap with onion rings
Nicole N.

Since moving to Coon Rapids I've passed this spot many times off of hwy 65. Today I decided to give it a try! Here are my thoughts Pros: -Large portions -Onion rings were lightly battered and crispy (Yum!) - Friendly staff -They have the GOOD ranch and blue cheese Cons: -Multiple people saw me and my son standing at the door waiting to be seated. I was just about to walk out when someone finally came over -Food over all was very average. Think Dennys/Perkins -Walking in had cigarette butts all next to the door and it smelled smoking walking in -Decor/ ambiance feels kind of like a diner but without any actual cool decor Overall this was a very average place and not enough for me to say I want to go back.

Coffee

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.

He told me back then that someday we needed to check out J&J's. We love small business, local, non-chain restaurants. I decided to surprise my husband and take him to J&J's for Father's Day. We are empty nesters, so it was just the two of us for lunch. We arrived just after 12 p.m. There was a line out the door, which we expected since it was Father's Day and Sunday lunchtime. We were told it would be a 15-20 minute wait for a table, which we had no issue with. We ended up waiting less than 10 minutes because there was a table available on the patio. The weather was beautiful, and with summer being so short in Minnesota, we like to take advantage of it whenever we can. Our server came to our table shortly after we were seated, but it was long enough that we both had time to decide what we wanted before she arrived. I ordered the Texas Philly, and my husband had the brisket sandwich. We had to wait a while for our food, which we understood given how busy the restaurant was. Others around us were complaining about the wait, and those tables had a different server who was very apologetic about the kitchen being backed up. The hand-cut fries were piping hot and seasoned perfectly. It's so rare to go out to eat and get hot fries, let alone fries that are piping hot. That alone was worth the wait! My husband loved the brisket sandwich, and the Texas Philly was SO good--piled full of meat. We live in the south metro, but it was well worth the 30+ minute drive to get there. We'll definitely be back and will absolutely recommend J&J's to others!

You sit at a table and order off your phone, and servers will bring your food and drinks out to you. Had no problem with that, it was a fairly easy process. Our servers were kind and I believe we talked to the owner for a bit who was attentive to all the tables! The food is the disappointing piece. I had the chicken rojo avocado tacos and they really lacked flavor. There was plenty of chicken in such a small tortilla, which made the taco fall apart as you ate. My sister ordered the pesto Mac and cheese with chicken and it was okay, but the chicken was not good. I didn't try the tenderloin bowl, but it seemed to have better reviews than my meal or my sisters from my family. I don't make my way out to Blaine often enough to try again, but I think this would be a better spot for pizzas and milkshakes.

The restaurant was understaffed - the bartender was not only running the bar but also serving the entire dining area. We sat at the bar and waited about 10 minutes before being greeted. We also overheard a nearby table voice frustration about the slow service. We're pretty patient, so it wasn't the end of the world, but it was noticeably slow. That said, once we were helped, our server was friendly and attentive. I ordered a Spicy Margarita and my husband went with an Old Fashioned. My margarita was on the weaker side; not bad, just forgettable. My husband enjoyed his Old Fashioned. For food, we tried the Bang Bang Shrimp, Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps, and the Crab-Stuffed Portabella. The standout was definitely the Bang Bang Shrimp; we both really liked it. The lettuce wraps and stuffed mushroom were fine, just not dishes we'd return specifically for. The overall vibe was calm and low-key, and the staff was kind despite being stretched thin. I'm glad we gave it a try, but it's probably not a place we'll be rushing back to.

They were perfectly crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside without being too doughy. So good! For my meal, I ordered the croque madame and substituted the salad for fries for an extra $2. I was SO impressed. The bread was perfectly toasted, I loved the cheese-to-ham ratio, and the egg on top brought everything together. They also gave me a very generous portion of fries--I couldn't even finish them--so the $2 substitution was totally worth it. I also ordered the cardamiel latte, which basically tasted like fall in a cup. Cozy, delicious, and definitely something I'd order again. The space itself is much bigger than I expected, with plenty of booths, long tables for larger groups, outdoor seating, and what appeared to be a bar area. We came around 12:30 on a Sunday, and while there was a steady flow of people, it never felt overly crowded. One thing to know is that you place your order at the register and then they bring the food to your table. The counter also has coffee and baked goods, so there are plenty of options if you're stopping in for something quick rather than a full meal. I could see Churchill St. working for so many occasions--Sunday brunch, lunch or dinner, a birthday celebration, or a fun brunch with girlfriends. They even have a cute little shop with kitchen items, stationery, and other goodies that was fun to browse.

It's a vegan dish which I appreciated as I have heart issues and try to avoid dishes with a lot of meat or fried ingredients. I asked the servers what they thought about it. They were less than enthusiastic, but I thought I'd try it anyway. I should have followed their lead. The dish was salty and otherwise not very flavorful. Heart healthy maybe, but I definitely wouldn't order it again. I only ate about a third of my dish. The server asked what I thought. I said it was "ok". I tried to convey my disappointment without really complaining. She kind of shrugged it off and walked away. No offer of any sort of replacement or attempt to rectify the situation. Maybe I should have been more direct. Churchill St is also a semi self serve type of place, which is fine. I kind of like that. What I don't like is an assumed tip that starts at 18%. Other than bringing out our food, there is no service. We got our own water. Went up to the counter and ordered our own drinks. Eventually a girl in a camo hoodie cleared our plates but that's it. It seems like they want to position themselves as an upscale casual place, but they fall short in a few key areas (food and service) In fairness, we have had better meals here in the past . My wife's $14 Chardonnay was really good and a generous pour. Churchill has potential and I am sure we'll be here again, but probably not for a while. Too bad, so sad. I guess.
