There aren't a lot of family-friendly places on the St. Clair strip. When we had our kid, one of my relatives would joke that I should bring him to Wise Guy's or Legends.
I went to Piper's once a week for a few months and I was happy with it. They were welcoming - in particular they were very accepting and accommodating about me bringing my one-year old for a weekday lunch.
The burger is really good, absolutely above-average, it's a real home-made hamburger. Their fries are also excellent - a chopped-up deep-fried potato, fried to order. No fuss, no muss, phoney coatings or anything. Not the usual shoe-string frozen-packaged stuff you'd get at a bar. Sauces are also excellent, though the curry is a bit sweet to my taste. The portion sizes are large, even the 'lunch' portions are big. Fish and chips tastes like what I've had in the UK though it is no Seawitch. The shepherd's pie was very tasty although a bit small on the serving size, and a bit of a weird match with fries (considering it was topped by potato.) The only disappointment was the veggie burger, which is essentially a bean and lentil stew-like concoction dried into a patty. It was mealy and flavourful in all the wrong ways, and the salad that it came with was a flop, the dressing was thrown all over the plate, including on the bun and patty of the veggie burger. That being said, this is a bar - so a veggie burger and a salad are probably the forte of very few places like this.
The Piper's Lagers home-brews (normal, light, and red) are also worth a try - cleaner and crisper than most beers, very refreshing and kept stone cold.
I'm a happy regular customer and glad a place like this opened on St. Clair. When it first opened I was skeptical - ust what we need, another bar - but the Piper's is a welcome addition to our neighborhood.
