Casper’s Cherokee

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.

Not impressed at all; I came here to eat, not to drink, so my experience is based off of being seating in the dining area.
This is a blue jeans t-​shirt kind of place. That’s not a bad thing, but if you overdress you’ll definitely stick out! Dining area was pretty empty when I came, but clean and not too noisy.
Ordered drinks, I stuck with water and my friend ordered a beer. Immediately after receiving his drink, we both saw specs floating around in his beer, clearly not part of his drink and too many to count. We asked for another drink and received it around 7 minutes later. No apology; rough start.
Food was boring. Nothing stood out to us; he got a steak, I got a buffalo chicken sandwich. Both were decent but I probably could’ve gotten the same sandwich at Perkins at a cheaper price.
Not coming back anytime soon.

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.

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.

Stopped in here for breakfast. Very big portions for a small price. Bloody bar was good with vodka, gin and tequila options. $ 6 for one bloody and $ 10 for unlimited! Great deal, excellent food and a nice outdoor space, too! I will definitely be coming back!

If you like spending your meal trying to figure out what that «chlorineny» smell is, then Casper’s is for you. I only mention this because aside from the less than warm hash browns, we were warmly greeted and looked after very attentively by rookie server, Stacey.
The traditional breakfasts of eggs, bacon (which was kinda tasty) and pancakes were satisfying and well portioned.
Stacey is going to do fine as a server. Not so sure about Casper’s if they can’t create a more appealing fragrance for their guests.

Do not go on the patio if you are a non-​smoker! Gross!!! Too bad because it is a very nice space.

Hard boiled eggs; delicious treasures trapped in a hard walled calcium shell. Youtube tricks, household hints, «As Seen on TV» products, all exist abound. The struggle is real. Well no longer! The ingenious kitchen staff at Casper’s has solved the problem as old as the question of which came first.
If you too wish to unlock this secret all you have to do is order brunch. Turns out it’s remarkably similar to poaching an egg, except you leave it in there long enough for the second coming and presto, you have a hard-​boiled egg sans shell. The real problem Casper’s has is that there is no hard-​boiled egg on the menu. How then, are they to get the word out? Well this inventive staff has come up with a solution to that too! They just wait until somebody orders eggs benedict and then presents their discovery on a bed of English muffin and Canadian bacon. Sure there’s the expectation of poached eggs, but who wouldn’t be so excited at this discovery that they could overlook this small fact?
There were four of us, a summary:
They managed to mess up poached eggs so badly that it was straight up hard boiled. Anybody who has ever SEEN a poached egg knows that you can tell the difference between a poached and a hard yoke. They knew when they sent it out, they just didn’t care.
Turns out Grandpa’s Favorite Biscuits and Gravy has nothing to do with its taste (you can probably blame a 40 year 2 pack a day habit for that one) and everything to do with the fact that the congealed mess doesn’t require teeth to eat
The spinach tomato scramble did indeed have spinach and tomato and scrambled eggs. What it lacked was any kind of seasoning. Just like the hash browns lacked a complete cooking time, and was just as unpleasant as you’d think eating raw potatoes would be
Tl;dr version: overcooked, overcooked, under seasoned, under-​cooked
So why two stars?
Well the first was that the service actually wasn’t bad — especially based on past reviews. He did stop and ask how the food was, but given that every single dish was almost comically bad we basically told him it was good (the ‘as they could manage’ was said under our breath)
Second they had $ 10 bottomless bloodys. They give you a glass and all the fixings (including the vodka) were at a station. I would have liked if they also provided ice to refill your glass but the mix was good and the price was great. Maybe if we had had a head start on the drinking we wouldn’t have cared so much about the food.

Decent neighborhood place. We miss the old (pre-​fire) Caspers. The service is okay at best. The prices have been raised but the food quality hasn’t increased. The beer options are decent but pairs well with the free popcorn.

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.

I Really, I mean REALLY want to give this place 2-​stars. However after speaking to the management prior to leaving, and HER AMAZING SERVICE they earned a second chance for my business.
It is a sports bar atmosphere with a Perkins décor. Casual dress, but expect to hear everything going on in the bar.
Food quality is for sure worth trying again!!! The BARN BURGER IS DYNAMITE!
My girlfriend and I entered the bar at 8:30 walked around and chose to sit in the restaurant. We re-​approached the host, and requested a table for two on the restaurant side. After her body language said no, and she had rolled her eye’s upon hearing our request. (She apparently REALLY wanted us to sit in the bar.) We where given the table, and sat down.
I then for the next hour and forty-​five minutes witnessed my host walk around the establishment carrying on a conversation about incest, and her acceptability if your only half related. She walked up to a servers table, opened the check, commented on how garbage the tip was, then proceeded to the kitchen and made ANOTHER comment about the tip.
I had asked a gentlemen if the fish dish he had «was appetizing as it looked?». The HOST… I know again… Clearly has some sort of relationship as she stopped to have conversation, sit on the chair with her legs in the air /​sideways and finally jumping like a kindergartner practically on his lap. I saw her touch, get close, and leap hug another male employee later on. Vaguely summing up her intimate conversations and interaction with the staff.
(I KNOW THIS SOUNDS MADE UP, I swear on my HONORABLE DISCHARGE this is 100% accurate.)
My server, I felt it was an off night. Overall I didn’t mind her service but a filled glass more often would have been nice.
As a server myself I would like to give a verbal tip for her or any waiter. Touching the table is a «TERM» it does NOT mean break my contact barrier… not once but twice. Unacceptable.
Ill write another review on my next visit, as I said they did entice me enough to try again.

Food and service OK, but french dip way overpriced at $ 14+…2 HUGE TVs behind bar…

I ask for suney sid egg and I get raw egg in sted they gave me hash browns are bland and under cooked I wood not recommend this place

I really want to like this place.
All you can drink Bloody Mary bar 10 – 2 for $ 10 makes a great Sunday fun day. They hand you a glass with ice and you pour your own. All the fixings including hand stuffed blue cheese olives.
Giant tvs perfect for watching the game.
Awesome bar area with a loft. In the summer, the patio is incredible, redone in the last year or so.
However…
The service is terrible. I mean really bad. Sit upstairs and prepare to make trips to the bar if you want anything. Actually, sit anywhere besides the bar and you will struggle to get anyone’s attention. In fact, it seems the servers go out of their way to avoid customers. If you ask they will politely say «oh, didn’t see you there» every time. I wish this was a one time occurrence, because I DO really like the location and the atmosphere, but unfortunately the terrible service has been consistent in every visit.
The owner seems very nice when we’ve encountered him and has been the first person to greet us when the bartenders and servers have ignored our presence on numerous occasions.
Caspers has the potential to be awesome. It’s really too bad they can’t figure out how to treat guests.

Great neighborhood restaurant. Wednesday night 1 ½ lb snow crab legs for $ 10. You can add one side for $ 3 and two sides for $ 5. Well seasoned wait staff and friendly host stand. Bar is vibrant and offers frequent specials. Free taco bar during happy hour and bar was hopping.

UPDATE: We wound up here for Mother’s Day 2014 because it was close and seemingly convenient. We’ll go to McDonald’s for Mother’s Day 2015 before we’ll go back to Casper’s.
They had the dining areas packed. Big groups had people who couldn’t get in or out of their seat without more than one person getting up. People were seated at the end of tables, so I felt like I was invading their personal space by trying to get by on my way to the buffet. Way too many people seated at one time.
The food was mediocre. The hot foods didn’t impress, and they were serving prime rib that was clearly undercooked. Prime rib is supposed to be rare, but it’s not supposed to be raw.
This joint clearly isn’t equipped to handle a buffet meal, and our large group paid far too much to be packed in like sardines for a meal together. I mean it when I say we’ll go to somewhere cheap and unspectacular before we’ll pay $ 16 – 17 per adult for a horrible Mother’s Day brunch.
There is no chance I’m going back to this restaurant again.

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!

Pictures sure can be deceiving!
Prior to meeting here, I checked it out online and even changed clothing because from the website information and menu, it appeared to be more upscale than it actually was. Well… I changed out of my yoga pants and Nikes for NO reason!
Immediately I could tell this was not my kind of place; It looked like a barn from the outside and everyone on the patio was smoking… I wanted to turn around and go home.
I walked in and felt like I had gone back in time to the early 90’s and it smelled like it too. The carpeting was dirty, the bar area was stinky, and when I finally made it out to the patio, it was smoky, and full of obnoxious drunk early 20’s crowd.
I had a few glasses of Riesling, served in cheap small wine glasses. It tasted fine, but probably not worth $ 7 per glass. Server was OK, not terribly friendly nor attentive and a little slow.
Dirty ashtrays all over the place, a drunk man who kept coming to our table, and shaking our hands, eventually asking us if we had any «weed»…WHAT? Are you frickin kidding me? Do I look like I sell weed?
The dining area was empty and I would not chance it. I will not be returning.

Wanted Casper’s crab leg special on Wednesday nights, but was told they ran out! How do you run out of crab on crab night? :) My wife and I started to think of other places that might be serving crab and while reading through the menu, the words, «Casper’s Overstuffed Buger» caught my eye. My wife… «I guess I know what you’re getting, so we’re staying than?» :) It was about as flat as the juicy from Matt’s Bar, but with superb flavor! While I DO like juicy’s with a boat load of cheese flowing out of it at all times, I also like cheeses that melt more stringy and pliable like a pizza. Packed with Provolone and cheddar cheese, which do just that, I was enjoying every last bite I took and the buttered and grilled bun always helps the cause!

Caspers post fire menu is a bit different but pretty true to the menu before their fire a couple years ago. Classic menu including steak, fish and chops. I always mix up the 4 or 5 steak options but prefer the mignon overall. Even on a Saturday night at 7 they can squeeze a table in for you. My overall review of Caspers is that you can get a really good meal at times or just average. They brought back the old school décor back as well. Doesn’t look much different then what it was before they had the devastating fire that nearly burned the whole place down
