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!

Sometimes all you really need is a hot Chz Burger and a good side. 🍔🧀

Fresh off the grill with plenty of melty cheese, a Casper’s Chz Burger keeps things simple in the best possible way. Add fries, tots, or onion rings and you’ve got yourself a pretty solid meal. 😋

One Fried Mushroom turns into two pretty quickly around here. 🍄😋

Hot, crispy, and golden on the outside with that tender mushroom inside, they’re the kind of side that disappears before you realize how many you’ve eaten.

What are you dipping yours in? 👇

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? 👇
