The Piper's Restaurant and Tavern 8304 Falls of Neuse Road, Raleigh, NC 27615

"I realize it’s probably not good form to mention one restaurant when reviewing on another… nevertheless; I was one of those people that actually teared up when Sawmill Taproom closed their doors. If you know… you know. Every other burger place in and around Raleigh was a distant second. I lost my “burger fix” restaurant! After being in Raleigh since 1983 and marrying a Raleigh native, we somehow never made it to Pipers, until today. I FOUND MY NEW BURGER HEAVEN! Beautiful, large, high-quality patty cooked to perfection (medium rare, of course), served on a tasty brioche bun. I got the Brie and Bacon. Brie cheese melted to the top bun and with a generous topping of delicious bacon jam. Served with hot, crispy fries by very friendly staff! Top this off with low prices and that great, friendly “true neighborhood pub” feel, and Pipers is a winner on all counts. We will be back to try many more dishes."

"Delicious lunch on patio. Excellent service. Reasonably priced and large portions. The personal pizza had perfectly crisped crust. I would recommend."

"I’ve driven by Piper’s Tavern 100 times and I’ve always wondered how it was. I’m so glad I stopped and tried it out! Amazing French Onion Soup. Seriously. Cold beer and a great Bloody Mary. The show stopper was the Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich. Tender beef, mushrooms, onions and gooey cheese, on the perfect roll. But the best part is this savory, rich beef gravy it comes with. I don’t know who sold their soul to make that gravy but it was worth it! Ask for extra on the side. You’ll thank me."

"Great restaurant, great food! The manager personally went around and welcomed diners which I thought was a nice touch. The only reason I gave it 3 stars is the fact that they attach 3.5 % to your bill if you use your credit card without making you aware of it."

"Pipers Tavern is an incredible place to go eat. The scenery is awesome, the staff are incredible, and the food is delicious. I had the potato skins and crab cakes and it was some of the best I've had. For dessert, our table ordered the hot fudge sundae and creme brulee, they were both outstanding and I certainly had a wonderful time dining tonight. Will definitely come again!"
