Missouri's oldest greasy spoon diner famous for their chili. Caspers then moved to Glenstone and Seminole near Martha’s Pancake House.
(1107)

Casper’s dates back to 1909 when Casper Lederer started serving chili from the back of his fruit stand. This genuine Springfield tradition started way back then not too far from their current location cooking on a Garland Stove (which they still do today). Then 26 years ago they moved to this little Quanset Hut where they are still today. Casper’s has been owned by a three people; Casper Lederer, his son Charles Lederer who used to be also known for his wood cut prints and the current owner Belinda Harriman who keeps the tradition alive by serving chili, chili dogs, hamburgers and other good greasy but tasty foods to the Ozarks. Casper’s definitely fits the term DIVE!

Save a little room, because dessert is calling. 🍍🍰

Our Pineapple Upside Down Cake is sweet, classic, and just the thing to finish off a Casper’s meal. Sometimes after burgers, chili, and all the good stuff, you still need something sweet!

Are you a dessert-after-every-meal person? 😋👇

Sometimes tots need a little Casper’s treatment. 🥔🌶️

Our Chili Chz Tots start with crispy tater tots and get covered in Casper’s world-famous chili and plenty of melty cheese. It’s hot, hearty, and definitely not a side that stays boring for long. 😋

Are you sharing these with the table, or keeping them all to yourself? 👇

When we say Big Weener, we mean BIG. 🌭😂

Our Big Weener starts with a foot-long dog and gets smothered in Casper’s world-famous chili and cheese. It’s a classic Casper’s kind of meal: simple, hearty, and plenty messy in all the right ways. 🌶️🧀

Think you could finish the whole thing? 👇

Sometimes a regular cheeseburger just isn’t going to cut it. 🍔🌶️

The Double Whammy takes a Casper’s double Chzburger and smothers it in our world-famous chili and plenty of cheese. It’s big, messy, and definitely not an order for the faint of heart. 😋

Are you tackling this one with a fork, or going all in with your hands? 👇

Some meals just taste like they were made to warm you up. 🫘😋

Our Ham & Beans is a simple, hearty Casper’s favorite that proves comfort food doesn’t need to be complicated. A bowl of tender beans and savory ham makes for the kind of lunch or dinner that really hits the spot.

Are you reaching for a bowl when you’re craving something warm and filling? 👇

Good food doesn’t have to slow down your day. 🚗😋

When you’re hungry but need to keep moving, Casper’s drive thru makes it easy to grab your favorites and get back on the road. Burgers, coneys, chili, and plenty more are just a quick stop away.

What are you picking up from the drive thru? 👇

🌯🎉 HAPPY FIRST ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL CASPERITO DAY! 🎉🌯

And now we can finally tell you who we have to thank for this completely serious and internationally recognized holiday. 😂

Ean McPherson, this one’s for you.

For nearly every post we’ve made over the last couple years, Ean has been there doing the Lord’s work: reminding us about the Casperito. Again. And again. And again. 😂

So in honor of our unrelenting, diehard Casperito champion and official torchbearer, October 14 will forever live on as International Casperito Day.

Come celebrate with a Casperito today, and everybody give Ean the recognition he has clearly been campaigning for. 😂👏🌯

Ean asked about the Casperito. Then he asked again. And again. And again. 😂🌯

So naturally, the only reasonable response was to create the First Annual International Casperito Day.

Wednesday, October 14, come join us at Casper’s, order a Casperito, and help us celebrate the kind of dedication that somehow turned a Facebook comment tradition into an actual event. 🎉

We hope you’re proud, Ean. This is what persistence looks like. 😂

Wednesday, October 14 is officially the FIRST ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL CASPERITO DAY at Casper’s!

Why does such an important international holiday now exist?

Well, let’s just say one extremely dedicated Casperito fan has spent the better part of the last couple years making sure we never forgot about it. 😂

Come celebrate the Casperito with us on October 14. And stay tuned, because there’s still one part of this story we haven’t shared yet. 👀

If you’ve been wondering what all this Casperito talk is about, October 14 is your chance to find out. 🌯😋

Loaded up with chili, cheese, tomatoes, jalapeños, sour cream, and all the Casper’s goodness you could want, the Casperito is not exactly a quiet meal. And honestly, that feels appropriate for its very own international holiday. 😂

Come celebrate the First Annual International Casperito Day with us on October 14!
