A tasty reuben was not enough to keep me visiting this restaurant. I ordered a beer that sat on the counter for a full 15 minutes before our waitress brought it over. It was nearly lukewarm and we got no explanation or apology. My friend ordered a beer a few minutes later and had the same result. The atmosphere is fun and laid back if you need a place to kick back with a few friends, but the servers seem pretty up tight and don't have much concern for your needs, even though the group of people I was with are all super friendly and patient. Perhaps it was just our server in particular, but all we got were eye rolls, scowls and one-word replies to our questions. When she rang up our bill, we paid with cash and shorted our change (only by 4 cents, but still). Super disappointing experience, as we had heard good things in the past. We will not be returning. read more

Beautiful and festive atmosphere for the holidays! Lights everywhere making a very cozy experience! We came with my husbands parents for their steak special on Tuesday. The special is an 8 oz steak, choice of potato and salad or soup for 10.99. The steak was great! Food came out extremely fast and our server was very nice. read more

Our favorite steak place, we have gone here for decades. Wonderful steaks great service, and some real nice specials especially Friday and Saturday nights. read more

Without swearing, I think the French Dip is really good. You can tell they want you to have a good time there.

Big shout out to Casper's. First a fire and then a stupid stabbing that had absolutely nothing to do with the business and in fact happened outside in the parking lot with non patrons of the restaurant. People do dumb things, please don't let their stupidity affect your decision to dine out at a great restaurant. Always a hard choice - the steak sandwich is amazing. Love the Cobb Salad and the garlic butter with fresh baked bread. But hands down - LOVE the open faced Turkey Sandwich substituting pot roast for the Turkey. Nice wine selections as well. We had a super cute server last night - Kylie. She will go far in her career with her positive attitude and welcoming smile. Please support your local businesses. read more

I love Caspers! I come here way too often--the staff is friendly, attentive, and outgoing. If Cory's bartending I know I'll have a drink set in front of me before I even sit down. Oh, and Wednesday's crab special...don't get me started (drooling). read more

You can't find anything about their thanksgiving buffet on their website you have to go to a different website to find it. I assume their servers are just are retarded as the people who made try website. read more

Love this place! The seating hostess, our waitress and the restaurant manager all took the time to talk with us and make us feel welcome. My husband had Steak (cooked to perfection!) and I had the BBQ Ribs; so tender they fell off the bone (wow,the barbecue sauce was the best that I have ever tasted!). Be sure to get the Au Gratin Potatoes; no one in the Twin Cities makes them as good as Caspers. Everything is reasonably priced also. Can't wait to go back! read more

Not impressed. The food was not good. By the time I got my bbq sauce I was already ready to leave. Kareoke on Saturday, lame!

Great bartenders friendly staff. Wonderful drinks you have to come here. Wonderful dancing on the weekends.

Had the best service tonight! Went to eat for birthday Thursday! I enjoyed my free sirloin (like actually free) and had a great time with the family! Good job guys! read more

We've been loyal customers for years -- great prices, solid food. Unfortunately today's experience was a bust. Service was poor, and our breakfast entrees were cold like the had been sitting for 15 minutes. The staff is more interested in talking with their friends/customers at the bar vs. waiting on tables. And we were the only ones at a table on the bar side. Disappointed. read more

Caspers is amazing! When I crave a burger, I want Caspers. Not only is the food wonderful, but the service is outstanding. They go above and beyond to make sure everything is cooked to perfection and we are completely satisfied. I highly recommend this establishment. read more

Sat in the "bar" side for 10 min without anyone acknowledging us. The booths were dirty and wet as well as the floors. YET, it smelled of bleach. To say the least we left without ever being waited on. This was a Saturday night at 6pm and it seemed like everyone was already drunk and partying. WE WON"T be back. read more

No ambiance, but great steak, fish, sides. Generous portions.

A local pub that has character and is like a "cheers" bar. Food is always good and the drinks and atmosphere will keep u coming back.

Good restaurant and great bar. Outside patio/bar is probably the best in the area, they have bags. Friendly ppl and staff, especially Tony and Corey. The stuffed burger and Mac and cheese bits are amazing. I recommend! read more

Was at a party here yesterday and had a great experience. Wonderful selection of appetizers, loved the walleye fingers. Our server did a great job attending to us and being prompt with drink orders. We'll certainly return and won't hesitate to schedule other parties here. Cheers to all the staff and cooks. Sally read more

The food was OK but the service was really poor. A large group came in after us and our waitress ignored us and saw to it that the large group got served prior to us. The food, once it was served was cold. Don't believe we'll be back. read more

Waited 20 minutes for a drink order. We are outside on the patio. She went inside to get a drink. Why. Had 4 different waitresses. Received food an hour after we were seated, we ordered one food item. We never received our tab and we had to be somewhere so we left cash and left. I have no idea what our meal cost. Hope we left enough. Extremely disappointed in how operations were run. read more

Went there Saturday to eat the prime rib, food was okay, but there was at least 4 flies surrounding us. And I swear our waitress was high. Probably not going back. read more

Casper's reopened earlier this month after having been closed for seven months because of a fire. We went there the second week. It was medicore. The interior has been opened up and there is one large room. We were in a booth in the traffic lane. My wife said we should have asked for a booth near a window. The small room toward the bar now is outfitted with leather chairs, supposedly to make it look like a VIP cocktail lounge. We went on a Monday night. They no longer have the early bird specials that were available Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. Monday was $9 steak night. Three of us had that; none of the steaks was cooked to specifications, and the meat was tough. The waitress said these were "special steaks that are not on the menu". Presumably the non-special steaks are better. Two us had au gratin potatoes, which are a "house speciality". They are cubes of potatoes with some cheese slopped on top, and then something was done to burn the cheese on ours. None of the wait staff has returned. We were told they found new jobs because the place was closed for so long. The new people are young college-age types. Our waitress was OK. I noticed that the menus now list prices in whole numbers such as 18 rather than $17.99. The prices have increased on everything we used to order. I suppose that's understandable considering that food prices has risen. A week later my wife and I went to Casper's for lunch with a couple of friends. One friend had a roast beef sandwich, and the other had a rueben. My wife and I each had a "lunch express" half sandwich. She ordered beef, and I ordered turkey. We both got turkey. She informed the waitress when she passed by, and she whipped away the plate and came back with a roast beef sandwich unadorned with the pickle, lettuce and tomato that had been on the previous plate. Two in our party had a side of fresh fruit, and another and I had french fries that were called five step fries. Our friend inquired as to the five steps, and after hearing the waitress' explanation, he told her it sounded to him like fries that had been really mangled. When we got the fries, they were the same as what I have had at the old Cherokee: soggy and limp. read more

We have been going to Casper's for over 28 years! Fairview Ridges used to give new mom's a gift certificate for dinner (our daughter is 28!~) We've been there for "Birthday Thursday's", Burger Night, Crab Leg Night and the free taco buffet M-F (3-6PM) can't be beat! The patio is exceptional and wonderful for a Sat or Sunday brunch. The $10/all you can make and enjoy Bloody Mary's are a great bargain too! It's a nice place to meet neighbors, work friends or just get a burger and relax. Rick and the staff are always friendly and more than willing to help you with menu choices, drink selection and welcoming attention! Check out Casper's Cherokee and I'm sure you'll be back :) lucretia read more

Love it! The overstuffed burger and the seven spice salad are my favorites depending on if I want to pretend to be healthy. And if you want a long island on a hot summer day.... The patio is the best and you can sip it for hours enjoying the sun, friendly waitstaff and other custormers. Plus there is always some ridiculous special or promotion going on. Definitely one of my favorite places to go for happy hour. read more

Awesome staff, good food and DJ Don't Josh Me on Friday and Saturday nights is the best! Great place to go have a good time if you don't want to deal with the Hassel of downtown. Wish they promoted the DJ more but it's definitely a great spot to party it up with hotels down the road. read more

Our family goes to the birthday night dinner a couple times a year. Our 7 year old son has autism. The employees put us in a back corner when we called ahead and requested a table for the birthday night as well as it was St. Patrick's Day. I truly feel these owners do a nice job helping families celebrate important events. The food is amazing, another reason why we go their my son loves the soup! I would highly recommend checking this place out. Also we love going on Tuesday nights for the burger night! They have great quality of meat! Very fresh!! read more

I've tried to give this place a chance so many times, because it's a convenient spot to meet with a majority of my friends and they have decent happy hour prices. I just can not get over how terrible the customer service is. As someone who has been in the restaurant industry for over 10 years I am appalled at how bad the service is. I'm a little more lenient than most, but 20-30 minutes to be acknowledged is a bit of a joke. That has been the case every time I've been in, so I have had to walk to the bar directly each time to order anything. I've also had to order entrees from the management team because the servers just goes MIA, even when they have a small section! I say skip this place and go next door to Doolittle's, their happy hour may not be as cheap but at least you'll be acknowledged and be treated like a paying customer should be! read more

I live within walking distance of this place and so was really disappointed to find it to be so mediocre. You'll do much better by going to Doolittle's Grill which is right across the street. I should say as a caveat that in 10 years of living here, I've only been there once (about 2006). However, there's a reason I only went once. Cherokee's food was completely uninspiring and the decor was plain and old looking - like a supper club that was never nice at its best and now is about 10 years past its prime. read more

"Steak Tenders $9.95"- top sirloin steak cubes and mushrooms served with Hollandaise sauce (appetizer menu) - my expectation: char-grilled savory tips of sirloin. Reality - hunks of tough, brown stew meat in a sweet gravy with 3 soggy chunks of red bell pepper, too many baby mushrooms (stems still attached), and cold. I also ordered their special house fries which were acclaimed to being extra special because of the five step process to make them. Well, they were disappointing too - they were cold and limp and had a cap of semi-melted parmesan cheese on top. They came with two dipping sauces - one catsup the other, I have no idea what it was. My husband ordered the prime rib - nothing special, just a slab of meat with two more dipping sauces (in all, we counted 10 of those mini sauce cups on our table! Really? If you have to give your customers convenient cover-up's for the food, you need to rethink your cooking and seasoning! The service was slow - we talked to our waitress two times - to take our drink order and then our food order. After that we didn't see her until she brought the check. When the hostess came to clear our table, she asked how our meal was. I told her about mine, and she said "Huh. They didn't leave a spicy aftertaste?" She didn't offer to comp it or appologize. We won't be back. read more

High price bar food. Not bad, but not anything to write home about. Stick to the drinks and you will be ok.

I wouldn't suggest spending any money here. We called ahead of time to ask about the daily special that we saw on their website. For Saturday it was the prime rib special. When we called to confirm the special the boy on the phone said no it's not today, I said really it says it on your website, he then says oh yeah ok it is today then... we asked if the special starts or ends at a certain time, he said no it's all day. The minute we walk into the restaurant it looked like we were pre judged by the manager. He didn't welcome us in, literally just looked at us. We said hi how's it's going can we get a table for 4, we also called ahead of time in regards to the prime rib special, he says yeah well too bad that doesn't start until 4pm, I said really we just called and asked, he then says yeah well ITS NOT. We just left and went to Doolittles across the street. I'll never spend money somewhere where A. The employees are rude and disrespectful and B. Don't have any idea what they're talking about. I can't say anything about the quality of the food but the service alone from the second we called to the second we walked in was horrible! read more

We tried Casper's for Mother's Day brunch buffet. Eggs drowning in water, various pieces of eggs benedict in a jumble, slices of ring sausage, bad fish, ham, roast beef, rolls baked from frozen, bad shrimp cocktail, messy fruit and veggie trays, crackers from a box, and cubed cheese from a bag. Not impressive. Desserts were tasteless bars and cookies from a box. Jelly bellies on the dessert table were fun, though. Server was nice and quick on the drinks, but took forever to bring us our ticket. Wish I had stuck with our favorite brunch spot. read more

My mom is in town and wanted to take her to a nice dinner. The dining area had food all over the floor. The person that sat us actually had to grab a water from an empty table. I could not tell if it was a nice restaurant or party bar. If i wanted to meet friends for drinks the barn area looks great. The atmosphere did not match the prices. I will not be going back. read more

I can't in good conscience ever go back! My bride and I went there 2 weeks ago for their Friday night special. I knew it would be busy but a stop in the bar would pass the time. We got there at about 6:15, gave the person taking reservations our name and told her we would be in the bar (right inside the door -I was skeptical as she was working off 5 or 6 different sheets of paper with peoples names on them) We checked back in at about 7:00 to see where we were in the line. She lost our name, she was even looking in the garbage can. Nothing..ok mistake and understand so put our name in again on one of the sheets..went to the bar, ordered up another beer and at 7:45 still no call so went to check. Guess what, couldn't find our name! Ok on the list again, by this time I'm getting a little anxious. Went to the bar and ordered a wine for my bride and I..she checked with them a 8:15..guess what..no name again..that's 3 times. Ok..raise a bit of ruckus and they finally found us a table for the 2 of us - a table right by the entrance of the restaurant with those real low comfy chairs that should be by a fireplace somewhere so you could sit back and relax. I tried to see the menu on the table and had to sit on the front edge of the chair in order to see the top of the table..it came about chin high. Certainly not comfortable for eating so, shame on me, asked for a table that you could sit up to. That took about another 15 minutes and told me the table was open. The waitress and the reservation person got in an argument as apparently the table we were going to have was being reserved for someone she knew. After a bit, we did get the table and all was good. A pleasant little waitress came to take our order, my bride ordered shrimp and I wanted the fish. Thank Goodness she warned me because now, they were our of tarter sauce! I love tarter sauce and fish. That was the last straw. I finally convinced my bride that we should just leave so we did that. This was over 2 1/2 hours later..we did have beer and wine and the bartender was great..I wish I had gotten his name! That was the only good experience we had there!!! I don't ever remember leaving a restaurant before as I'm usually pretty understanding of things that might happen but this was absolutely terrible! read more

Easter brunch was awful. Line for food was ridiculously long. The hot food was inedible. BBQ ribs were over cooked and meat was fatty. Prime rib was too tough to eat. Salad line was too long, so we had to skip it. Restaurant was dated and dirty. Feet kept sticking to the carpet. Window panes had webs and dead bugs trapped in. Definitely not coming back. read more

This place is terrible. The management is rude and the food is awful. The only good part is the free bread you get at the beginning of your meal. Don't waste your time. read more

Just had Easter brunch today......worst brunch that we've ever went to. What Easter brunch has NO cheesy hash browns, bacon or lil sausage. STAY AWAY...... read more

I love Caspers. I think it is a great restaurant; the service is always great and the food is usually pretty good. I used to go there a lot during the football season but the one thing I cannot stand is how they do their seating arrangements for the Vikings game. Everything is clumped together and there is no room or space to walk around and it is hard to even get out to go to the bathroom. I feel like it's a maze. The seats are elbow to elbow and there is usually a spot in between people because they don't want to be that close to a stranger. Seats get lost that way and half the seating is already taken away because it's "stadium seating". The tables need to stay as is, there are literally TVs everywhere. There will be more spots to sit at, people won't be tripping over chairs, and the servers will have an easier time serving food and drinks. read more

We ate there for Easter brunch. Horrible! Eggs benedict was tasteless, french toast sticks were hard as a rock, scrambled eggs were huge chunks, i had no idea what it was until someone said eggs, ham was filled with fat, roast beef was almost raw...gross, green beans had no taste at all. Just a terrible experience and total waste of money. read more

My husband and I took my daughter here for dinner for her birthday last night, May 1st 2014 the service was amazing. Our servers name was Teresa she was attentive funny and very efficient. I ordered the 24 ounce bone in ribeye steak it was juicy, cooked to perfection, and melted in my mouth. My husband ordered The Naked tenderloin, and was happy with that steak until he tasted mine, my daughter ordered the birthday steak and was happy with it until she tasted mine so all the steaks were good but mine was superb. I highly recommend this restaurant! read more
