About this business

Casper & Runyon's Nook is something of a local institution, the restaurant has a long tradition of serving up delicious burgers to hungry patrons for over seven decades.

This is a quintessential burgers and beer joint. Fries are absolutely perfect! Plenty of beers to choose from, but I’d like to see just all local/Minnesota beers. Celebrity Burgers are fun and sooo good. I’m glad I don’t live next to them so I don’t have to go everyday, or I would!

First, don't go if are starving and impatient. You'll be miserable and ruin it for yourself and your friends. Expect to wait. So, grab a drink at the bar or a coffee next door. Then, go in and have a blast. Our server dude was great. We started with the best onion rings ever. Hands down. My side of the table went for the Nookie burger. Perfect oozing mess of tasy cheese and a great burger. The fries were best. We think they were double fries.

I'm not a big city person but going to the Nook always makes the trip worth it. Love the wings and the burgers.

Absolutely delicious. Great service from friendly, funny staff. The burgers are the best we’ve ever had (guy’s big bite and juicy nookie), wings are amazing (hot damn and spicy bbq), fries are crispy...let the cheese from your burger drip onto the fries and you won’t regret it. We’re only in town today and tomorrow, but we are coming back tomorrow before we have to head to the airport. Buying shirts, which we don’t really ever do, because this place is fantastic. So glad somebody recommended it to us!

The food was fantastic! The buffalo wings were by far my favorite, Such great flavor, we ordered more! The Nook Jucy Lucy was so juicy and oozing with cheese! I was so full but continued to fill myself with waffle fries because they were delicious too! We will definitely be back!
