    We have been here a few times. All of the past times have been great! Until tonight... all three of our burgers and buns were so burnt we couldn't even eat them. The service was good and so was the fries. But that was definitely the only positive about our visit tonight.

    Definitely a must try when in town. Chili was excellent. Customer service is one of a kind. The employees take pride in their work and service. I will be back, tomorrow to be specific

    Large Chili and Hamburger.

    It's been prob 40 years since I've eaten here at Casper's, but it was my go to back in the 1980s. The chili is still good although the atmosphere has changed. I'm just glad it's back on Glenstone.

    Holler for Heather!

    Finally had the beans and cornbread! (Okay, I had some chili, too.) Casper's is great! Nothing better on a cold winter's day. We had to fly home for funeral services for my Mom. It was the first time all weekend that it felt like things were going to be okay again.

    The menu on the outside of the restaurant.

    The food here is soooo tasty!! The waiter was just awesome with our meal. It is very quiet and cozy.

    Great joint! I love it. Huge portions and great menu. Server was busy as hell but still made time to make us to go drinks and thank us for coming in. I loved it at other location but I think this location is even better. Calories don't count here guys. Food was good but not hot ( temperature wise) I looked over that because they were packed. I'll keep going and trying new things on menu. Got a T-shirt and will be back. Turn up that stove and get your chili hot ! Too good of a spot for it not to be warm. Look out for "The BIG weenier coming through!

    Cheeseburger combo: 1/4 lb patty, hand cut fries, and drink - $8.99!

    Hand cut fries: crisp outside, moist inside; burger: smashed, thin, flavorful, crisp yet juicy drinks: bottomless trying chili next time Staff: happy, joking, efficient, attentive, food served hot and delicious. Waitress "Marcie" is reason enough to stop in!

    Very Good. It's been there forever. My parents suggested we eat there. I guess i should listen to them more often.

    Favorite eatery in Springfield. Order the frito-pie with a crushed-ice Dr. Pepper and say hi to Marcie. Cash only.

    When I go to Lindberg's I read the menu but end up ordering my favorite - the grilled cheese with…read moreonion jam. Oh my.. I'vehad several items on the menu but always come back to the grilled cheese. This local bar has history, is on a lively street, has great food, great service, live music, and a good selection of beer on tap. What more can one ask for??

    After moving back from Las Vegas, this was my first time eating at Lindberg's in a little over two…read moreyears. Unfortunately, I left disappointed because the food quality just wasn't what I remembered. I had been telling my wife how great the food used to be--almost like gourmet bar food--and was really looking forward to sharing that experience with her. The smash burger no longer tasted like the duck-fat burger I remembered, and the fries definitely didn't seem to be house-made anymore. They tasted more like a lower-quality frozen product, which was a letdown. On the positive side, the service was excellent. Even with the restaurant getting busy and a live band setting up, the staff stayed friendly, attentive, and on top of everything. One thing to note is that we initially arrived around 12:45 p.m. on Sunday, only to find out they weren't open and was told that something came up and they didnt open until 3:00 p.m. on this Sunday. Overall, I still enjoyed the atmosphere and appreciate the great service, but I hope the kitchen can get back to the food quality that made Lindberg's one of my favorite spots in the past.

    Amazing would go again multiple times!…read more This was the first time I went to Springfield and my friends brought me to The Table and I would come to Springfield again just for this place. Before you even walk in the building looks amazing, it's more spacious in the inside than it looks on the outside. Big open space and a little shop and showcased so many great items. There was jazz music playing and everything just felt cozy. Also it might sound weird but go use the restrooms! They look fantastic and will give you many ideas just for decorating. The food was delicious I had gotten the S'mores Iced Latte, Caprese Toast and shared Berries & Cream Pancakes. You might say wow $14 for some Caprese Toast but it was so filling you really don't need anything else. Everything was reasonably priced due to how elegant and delicious the food was. The service was really quick and it was fairly busy the food was hot and everything tasted really fresh. The people were very kind and helpful with any questions. The service was very professional and enjoyable!

    Made it back to the place and another good visit…read more - see that bacon jam sauce on the burger?....that is darn good. I'm not one to mess with my traditional burger taste. But that bacon jams sauce really works! - The corn dip we had for an appetizer - that dish was really good. Did I say really? Yeah, really good. - Chicken sandwich - If I was you...I'd skip that one. Nothing special. Dry. Just not a good menu item. To the owners if they read this: The place is too nice to have counter service to order. Both times I've been here, it is always backed up and takes a good while to order. We were the 3rd group back last night. Parties of 2, each group was. And it takes too long. To end on a positive note: the place is neat and always great to have people revitalize an old building in our town.
