    We travel out of our way to stop here every so often as we and our families have enjoyed Casper's for many generations, but today will be our last visit to this location. Menu prices on their menu in store did not reflect what we were charged. When asked the worker why we were charged so much they said they rang up our combo differently but it reflected the same price. Here's the breakdown of what we ordered: 1x Chicken combo + Cheese $10.59 + $1.00 1x Chili Cheese Dog $8.39 1x Bag of Chips $1.59 Tax should be $2.21 Total should be $23.78 We were charged $27 something. As we ate inside we punched the numbers from their menu board into a calculator and were in fact charged nearly $5 more than what we should have been. In addition, their online pick up prices are much higher than their menu on the wall. Alas, we paid more than the heightened online prices.

    Local hot dog chain that serves some pretty delicious hot dogs! It's a pretty dated, establishment, but I feel like that makes its personality shine through. There's parking at the side and a decent amount of booth and counter side seating as well. The workers were very friendly and welcoming and I really enjoyed that. We got the Hot Link with the following toppings: tomato, onion, mustard, and relish. They even offered to cut the Hot Link in half since we were planning to share it as a snack. The Hot Link was decently spicy, not a super strong kick but hit the spot with all the other toppings and condiments on top. They don't skimp out on them either. I'd drop by again next time when I get the chance!

    My guilty pleasure, forever. Whenever I drive past Hayward, there's better than even odds I stop by this wonderful establishment. There's a reason why this place is basically a local establishment. First, the service is super-fast, attentive, and great. They'll quickly ask you for everything you want on and not on the hotdog (though for me, the typical answer is that I want everything on it). The hot dogs are made warm and hot from their contained hot dog containment device. Second, the hot dogs are just really good. Each of them is flavorful - and I think at this point I've had every single hot dog on the menu. My favorite in particular is the hot link - it's actually pretty hot! They told me it was pretty spicy and they were right - definitely has a kick. It's also very convenient, since they put all the condiments in for you and you can obviously request which condiments you want and which one you don't. So it's actually something that can be eaten to-go. Pricing is more or less affordable and fine. Comparable to what you'd pay at most fast food restaurants if not slightly less, but with really a higher tier of quality. Outside of Costco hot dogs (which are pretty much not meant to make money, they're famous loss-leaders meant to entice people to go to Costco), these are definitely some of the best hot dogs you can get at this price point. Highly recommended anything anyone is in Hayward!

    After trying the other hot dog place that starts with a K, it was time to try here. I ordered a Casper dog, which was a pork beef blend and an all beef with chili. The pork beef had a nice snap and the all beef was very large. The chili was mostly beans. Overall, the staff was very nice however everything lacked flavor.

    Casper's has always been my all time favorite Hot Dog spot. Especially probably because I grew up on them. They got the Perfect snap and the Perfect Flavor! Not a lot of them around anymore so when I do pass by I can't help myself I have to get One!!! Pink's in LA smacks But Casper's is Still My all time favorite and My Go To!!

    Two Casper dogs everything on them Lays sour cream & onions potato chips Promo Casper cup 99 cent refill (lemonade) Raining cats and dogs outside on this 14th of December in 2024. 12 o'clock noon is the time and I'm enjoying a pleasant lunch with the cars and dogs falling down outside. I was in the area and made the journey. The dog was calling me. yum yum

    My wife grew up eating this place. I started eating it about 15 years ago and it's always consistent and a pretty good dog very friendly ladies every time.

    Was in town so decided to stop into a Caspers. First time for a Caspers restaurant, but not new to the Casper dog. My dad loves Caspers hotdogs and we can't get them where we live. We both got the Original Casper dog combo. Comes with a bag of chips of your choice and a drink. The original Casper dog comes with onion, tomato, mustard, and relish. I am not a fan of relish as I do not care for the sweet flavor, but you could not even taste it was on there. I did test it out and it is a sweet relish, not dill. We also got a bowl of chili with cheese and onion. The staff was very friendly. I love that there is no discrimination and our elders are still able to work. The place was an older building, but it was clean. We came in right after 12pm on a Saturday and it was busy! There was a line out the door. Most appeared to be regulars.

    I'm giving three stars because service is usually good and the ladies are polite. The last two times they didn't have enough beef dogs. I bought the two they did have which I found weren't cooked all the way. When I bit into the hot dog it was a little rubbery. I called to let them know to be more careful. They offered to replace them but I told them I would just boil them myself. Once they were fully cooked the dogs curled up a little and they weren't rubbery.I've been going to Casper's for over forty years and this is the first negative experience.

    Delicious hot dogs. The staff here are super nice people and work fast to get you your food. The interior of this location is so great and feels like stepping back in time because of how nicely preserved and maintained everything is, including the classic menu board. The menu is somewhat on the smaller side; there's nine different dogs to choose from and all come with tomatoes, onions, mustard, and relish unless you hold any or all of them. Any of them can be made into a combo (chips and a drink), and they offer a couple of other things like milkshakes and a chili bowl. Simple and concise. I got the chili cheese dog and kept the mustard and onions, held the relish and tomatoes. Had to go in with a fork and knife because there was so much chili and melted cheddar and it was great. Nothing super spectacular or original, just a tasty dog. The chili was nice and on the spicy side. I thought the onions might be caramelized but they were raw and diced, so be aware if you don't like raw onions (I'd hold those next time). I'd definitely come back here again. Most dogs are around $5, the combos are $8. No fuss, just good food and nice people in a fantastic vintage space.

    Casper dog with mayo, mustard jalapeños tomatoes and onions for the win

    I am a sucker for a good hotdog and Casper has great hotdogs! This location is our go to in my household, the staff is always funny and witty and I appreciate their humor. When I was there the OG staff answered the phone and stated, "yes we're open but we're not here" that had me cracking up! I went with the Casper hot dog with mayonnaise, mustard tomatoes, onions and jalapeños. I appreciate the really amazing fresh ingredients that are cut right in front of you. My partner went with two hot links with cheese and tomatoes and those were also amazing. I appreciate how they steam their buns to perfection. Please continue to support this gem in Hayward

    Never grew up in the East Bay, but, apparently, these dogs are well known. The dog has a nice snap as you bite into it. Very good hotdog.

The bun was a decent size to hold everything, but a little too much bread. The American cheese was standard quality, thin but melts well with the heat of the dog. All the toppings were fresh (Lettuce, Tomato, Diced Onions, Pickle Spear). I think the lettuce isn't needed, I'll skip that next time. The Bacon Bits are fresh made good quality smoked bacon, decent size cut, good stuff. The Yum Yum Sauce is their secret sauce, but it was very light and I didn't notice the flavor that much. I assume it is a mayo and paprika based with other spices, not sure. Maybe I'll order on the side next time. The fries are decent restaurant quality, the kind that has a coating of potatoe flour to give some extra texture and crunch, served hot. I think they fry them fresh for the order, nice touch! Raspberry lemonade (min bottle simply company) it was decent, nothing special. Until next time...

It's really sad that I have to continue to do reviews and it's really sad. Also that consumers restaurant owners are condoning. This kind of behavior. It is so not OK. I know for you guys. It's just about the money. But keep in mind that we're human beings and we work very hard for our money. We have families. We have people to take care of as well so anytime I get an opportunity to treat myself to something I take a real serious and the idea that these young people just really didn't give a damn and it also felt very cold very cold and very, not black friendly

We were told the soda machine was broken (which was a bummer) so we ask for water cups instead (which works). So I am guessing they are probably out of soda syrups for the machine. Our food came out fairly quickly. My boyfriend's burger was good, they made smash burgers so it was thin and crispy on the edges, the 4 pieces of Hawaiian roll for a bun was interesting. I thought it was going to fall apart in the seams but it didn't. I would try this again next time. The chili dog I got, was okay, I thought the combination was salty for my taste, maybe less salt in the chilli would be better. The onion fries were delicious, crispy crunchy golden brown, and the batter was not thick. We left feeling awful due to the fattiness of the food but everything was good. Ate a salad the next day and felt better lol. Hoping the soda machine being broken is a short temporary thing because they don't really have much of other drink options. We did see a group of people eating here and got their sodas from Panda Express. Overall good for the value.
