Piper's Restaurant

Medieval Americana meets Korean late-night culture. Since 1964.

Popular food: Steak-o-Piper (formerly Steak-o-Bob) is a kabob with side items; King Louie Burger served on an English muffin; dinner specials; famous rice pudding.

Unique food: Pat bing soo, a shaved ice extravaganza and one of Korea's great contributions to the world of dessert.

Drinks: Soft drinks, coffee, beer, wine.

Seating: Counter and plenty of booths and tables; covered patio (shielded from the street).

Ambience: Really nice and recently remodeled, retaining some of the old Excalibur theme; lots of cops and UPS drivers eat here, so you know it's good!

Parking: Good sized lot -- parking is no problem here!
