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

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!

Consider this your sign to order something crispy for the table. 🥒🔥

Our Fried Pickles have that perfect combination of crunchy breading and tangy pickle inside. They’re great for sharing, but we’re certainly not going to judge if the basket stays on your side of the table. 😂

Fork or fingers? And are you sharing? 👇

Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, the heroes who ran toward danger, and the families whose lives were forever changed.

Twenty-five years later, we honor their memory and remember the courage, sacrifice, and unity shown in the days that followed. ❤️🤍💙

We will never forget. 🇺🇸
