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. Bought by the two restaurateurs, the Nook still serves the original burgers for which it became so popular. The restaurant is small, but has a casual, relaxed vibe and is a great place to stop by for a bite and drink with friends. Wash down your burger with a cold beer from their selection. The restaurant stocks both bottled and on-tap varieties. Popular fav... read more

The best burger I have ever had. It was our first experience there and we got a good recommendation from Diners Drive-ins and Dives.

Ordered onion rings, got fries. Ordered a salad to go, without bleu cheese, got it with bleu cheese. Waiter offered to have them remake it; said yes, expecting this to be quick. (Had ordered the salad to go because this was for a kid who needed to be picked up from a school event at a particular time.) It wasn't. Was trying to get out that tiny (how is it even compliant with fire codes?) hallway past a bowler and dropped the salad. Had to track down my waiter and tell him what happened. They re-made the salad and I came back... read more

With all the hype I guess my expectations going in were just too high. The staff was very friendly, but we sat in a table very near the kitchen and they screwed up virtually every order that went through during our visit. The world famous burgers were mostly just grease although the bun was really good and did a decent job soaking up the grease. The fries were also very greasy and I felt like I had gone in for an oil change instead of lunch. It all tasted ok, but I was thinking I would be wowed, which I wasn't. I feel like G... read more

I live down the street so I go there occasionally. Go downstairs, rent a lane for a few rounds of bowling, eat dinner. Sometimes the restaurant is very busy. Other times not so much. I've always had great service and the food is the best in St Paul, probably all of Minnesota. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes real, good food.

Great food and such a great atmosphere. Loved bowling in the basement too. Excellent service. You can tell the owner care about their customers.
