There is a competition for who serves the best tenderloin and even a "Tenderloin Trail". The Piper had their tenderloin sandwiches on special for $3 off regular prices during the month long event. The Piper is a popular sports bar near Morse Reservoir with a neighborhood bar vibe. A pool table and several electronic games are available for the night crowd. We sat in the inside dining area, but there is also seating on the patio and at the bar. Sports and beer decor cover the walls. Michaela, our server, was super friendly and attentive. The food came out quickly. Michaela kept our glasses full. The breaded tenderloins are large and served on a fresh toasted sesame seed bun. The breading tastes flavorful and pork is freshly prepared. The sandwich was served with a dijonaise sauce and lettuce, tomato, onion and pickle. The kettle style potato chips were delicious as well. All in all, it was a great tenderloin and worth the drive north.

The servers / bartenders really take the time to get to know you and the owners are always so present! It's a great place to hang out with friends. They also let me hang out with my pup on the patio, and bring him water! The only thing I wish was different was not allowing smoking on the patio. I really love sitting outside, but I don't like to inhale smoke.

The parking lot tailgating before dinner is half the experience. Where else can you sip a drink next to a pickup truck, make friends with complete strangers, and then walk inside to eat a meal that makes you question every life choice that led you to lesser restaurants? The food is absurdly good. The famous Perkinsville Pork deserves its own state holiday. Portions are generous, flavors are bold, and the menu somehow manages to feel both elevated and unapologetically Hoosier. Service was friendly, the atmosphere was chaotic in the best possible way. Everyone having a great time. Come hungry. Come early. Bring a folding chair for the parking lot. Leave wondering why every restaurant isn't this much fun. 10/10. I'd drive past three chain restaurants and a dozen sensible decisions to eat here again. Will be back soon.

I can definitely understand why people will tailgate just to get in for dinner. We started off with the meatballs, the pork loin, and the pierogies. The pork loin is a must get, and the other others were delicious as well. For my entrée, I got the pork loin as well because it was so good as an appetizer, and before that I started with the tomato soup, which was also excellent. Addison was our waiter and was extremely attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. We had a party of over 10 people and he handled it flawlessly. If you're in the mood for something out of the city in a little bit of a change of pace, I would highly recommend trying here.

One of the more bizarre dining experiences I've had with my wife…read more We had a 7:00 p.m. reservation on a Saturday and were seated promptly. Initially, service was fine. We ordered fried green tomatoes, which were delicious, and both wanted a Sauvignon Blanc with our appetizer. We ordered the only Sauvignon Blanc available by the glass. About 10 minutes later, we were told they were out of it, although another Sauvignon Blanc was available by the bottle. We didn't want a bottle, so my wife ordered the waitress's recommendation of the Pinot Grigio by the glass. I decided I was having steak and ordered a Pinot Noir instead. Another 10 minutes passed. My Pinot arrived, but we were then told they were also out of the Pinot Grigio. At that point, the waitress apologized and offered my wife a complimentary glass of the Sauvignon Blanc normally sold only by the bottle because we'd waited so long and unsuccessfully tried to order two different wines. Eventually her wine arrived and we ordered dinner. My wife ordered the scallops and sweet potato casserole. I ordered the prime rib with mushrooms and roasted potatoes. About 20 minutes later, our food arrived. Mine looked great: prime rib, mushrooms and potatoes. My wife received sweet potato casserole and scalloped potatoes--but no scallops. I asked if we were still waiting on the scallops and was told yes. Since my entire hot dinner was now sitting in front of me, I confirmed again. Yes, they were coming. About 10 minutes later, our waitress returned and apologized. Apparently the scallops had never actually been ordered. She said they would be ready in about five minutes and would be complimentary. So I sat there staring at my dinner, waiting to eat with my wife. Another 15 minutes or so passed before the manager finally brought the scallops. They were good. He apologized and offered me another glass of wine on the house, which I accepted since I'd now spent roughly 25 minutes waiting with my dinner sitting in front of me. We finished irritated, but were still hoping for dessert. We have little kids and only get out together every couple of months, so we were trying to salvage the evening. Instead, we essentially got, "Anything else before you go?" I guess not. Then the bill arrived. Every single thing we'd specifically been told was complimentary was on it. My wife's scalloped potatoes--which she never ordered--were on it. Her Sauvignon Blanc, offered complimentary after they couldn't fulfill either of her first two wine orders, was on it. The scallops, which we were explicitly told were on the house after they forgot to order them, were on it. And the additional glass of wine the manager offered me because I'd spent 25 minutes watching my dinner get cold was on it. At that point I said there were quite a few discrepancies with the bill. Our waitress agreed and said she'd get the manager. She returned without the manager and handed us a revised bill. One glass of wine and the unordered scalloped potatoes had been removed. I never saw the manager again. We never got dessert. We paid and left. That's what made the experience so frustrating. There were things we genuinely liked. The fried green tomatoes were excellent, the food itself was generally good, and our waitress seemed genuinely apologetic. But being out of multiple wines by the glass, forgetting an entrée, bringing a side that wasn't ordered, leaving one person's entire dinner sitting on the table for 25 minutes, offering complimentary items to make up for those mistakes, and then charging us for them anyway is an astonishing series of failures for one dinner. We went out expecting a nice Saturday night together. Instead, the entire evening became an exercise in figuring out what was available, what had actually been ordered, what was still coming, and finally what we were actually supposed to be paying for. Just a really disappointing experience.

There was no one at either the outside nor the inside host stand upon arrival. We chose our own table on the covered patio. It took 20 minutes for my cocktail to be delivered. Our server explained that there was only one bartender, two servers working, and they weren't terribly busy, so as he put it, "It's not a big deal." Well, from a customer's perspective, it's certainly not ideal and we didn't feel all that much of a priority. We ordered the Pick Two Lunch with a cheeseburger and baked potato soup as well as the Fish & Chips. Our meals tasted fine and the portion sizes were adequate, we just felt like the service was slow and a little lackluster. Bottom line: it was nice to spend a little time enjoying the view of the water on a fall day.
