Without swearing, I think the French Dip is really good. You can tell they want you to have a good time there.

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.

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.

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.

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.
(3)Debra D.
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.

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 decor 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

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.

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

Caspers is a great place to go for drink specials; other than that, avoid it. The food is mediocre, at best, and overpriced for what you get. We went for breakfast and the eggs were cold, biscuits raw and coffee bitter ($2.50 a cup, I might add). The worst part is the service. The hostess was rude and frowned the whole time. They don't make you feel welcome and do only the bare minimum. If you want to drink, go there. If you want to eat, go somewhere else.

Great neighborhood restaurant. Wednesday night 1 1/2 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.

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

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 decor. 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.

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!

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.

I can't in good conscience ever go back! My bride and I went there 2 weeks ago for their Friday night special. I knew it would be busy but a stop in the bar would pass the time. We got there at about 6:15, gave the person taking reservations our name and told her we would be in the bar (right inside the door -I was skeptical as she was working off 5 or 6 different sheets of paper with peoples names on them) We checked back in at about 7:00 to see where we were in the line. She lost our name, she was even looking in the garbage can. Nothing..ok mistake and understand so put our name in again on one of the sheets..went to the bar, ordered up another beer and at 7:45 still no call so went to check. Guess what, couldn't find our name! Ok on the list again, by this time I'm getting a little anxious. Went to the bar and ordered a wine for my bride and I..she checked with them a 8:15..guess what..no name again..that's 3 times. Ok..raise a bit of ruckus and they finally found us a table for the 2 of us - a table right by the entrance of the restaurant with those real low comfy chairs that should be by a fireplace somewhere so you could sit back and relax. I tried to see the menu on the table and had to sit on the front edge of the chair in order to see the top of the table..it came about chin high. Certainly not comfortable for eating so, shame on me, asked for a table that you could sit up to. That took about another 15 minutes and told me the table was open. The waitress and the reservation person got in an argument as apparently the table we were going to have was being reserved for someone she knew. After a bit, we did get the table and all was good. A pleasant little waitress came to take our order, my bride ordered shrimp and I wanted the fish. Thank Goodness she warned me because now, they were our of tarter sauce! I love tarter sauce and fish. That was the last straw. I finally convinced my bride that we should just leave so we did that. This was over 2 1/2 hours later..we did have beer and wine and the bartender was great..I wish I had gotten his name! That was the only good experience we had there!!! I don't ever remember leaving a restaurant before as I'm usually pretty understanding of things that might happen but this was absolutely terrible!

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!

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!

I have to give it one star. I won't be back. I went for Mother's Day brunch. The place was packed -- usually a good sign. And while I didn't love the long buffet line -- about 20 minutes -- if I had ordered off the menu, I would have had the same wait time. No my problem was much more basic: poor food; weak service. There were two main buffet lines: entrees and sweets/sides. The entrees were promising: scrambled eggs; eggs benedict; waffles; sausage (kielbasa); ribs; prime rib. Of these, eggs benedict was tasty, scrambled eggs were dry and overcooked, waffles tasted like a dry sponge (only less sweet), the ribs were "seasoned" with an awful ketchup sauce and were too fatty, and the prime rib: inexcusably overcooked. As I mention above, the place was filled to the rafters. Literally. The second floor of the barn was sold out. Nearly every table had 8-10 guests. I've been to plenty of restaurants that are oversold and that go on a long wait. We all have. Most are run much more efficiently and in a better way than this one was. Each server had to have had 6 tables at one time. The Moms at my table -- there were several -- had a tough time getting a drink, silverware and etc. The servers and busers did not remove plates in a prompt manner. It was just -- it was chaotic. Would I go back? No. There are too many good restaurants in this town and in this part of the Twin Cities. Sure, it was Mother's Day and that is often a big revenue day for restaurants because many of us like to go out on that day. But well run restaurants thrive when they sell all the seats in the place. This place floundered.

Lots of hype, nothin' to back it up. A family member, when it was his turn to pick the place, always brought us together here. The best thing I can say about Cherokee Sirloin Room is that they served a nice basket of bread: warm, with soft butter. Otherwise, nothing impressive. Poor-quality, rubbery steaks. And Cherokee's "Signature Item" cheesy potatoes were half-cooked, crunchy cubes covered with a sheet of unchewable cheese-flavored latex one could use to patch a hole in a roof. Other dishes I sampled were not memorable, due to their blandness. BBQ ribs drowned in a ketchupy sauce come to mind. Salads populated with brown-edged iceberg lettuce, dehydrated carrot slivers. Turn back, there is nothing for you at CRS.

It appears Thursday night is birthday night, always. If you are on the email you'll get a notice the week of your birthday for a free sirloin dinner that can only be used the Thurs of said bday, and at this location, even though I signed up in St. Paul. No problem, comes with soup or salad, and it's a generous green salad. I was disappointed when it came out medium, although very tender. I just wasn't in the mood to wait for another one. On the other hand Basil's 1# monstrosity comes out a perfect medium rare. Same delicious signature au gratin potatoes. You get a free dessert, too. I took a bite out of a strawberry shortcake. I had a couple of Sweets cupcakes waiting for me at home. Good, but I would not order it on its own. Very crowded for obvious reasons, which I was so glad to see. The owner comes around to every table, nice touch.

"Steak Tenders $9.95"- top sirloin steak cubes and mushrooms served with Hollandaise sauce (appetizer menu) - my expectation: char-grilled savory tips of sirloin. Reality - hunks of tough, brown stew meat in a sweet gravy with 3 soggy chunks of red bell pepper, too many baby mushrooms (stems still attached), and cold. I also ordered their special house fries which were acclaimed to being extra special because of the five step process to make them. Well, they were disappointing too - they were cold and limp and had a cap of semi-melted parmesan cheese on top. They came with two dipping sauces - one catsup the other, I have no idea what it was. My husband ordered the prime rib - nothing special, just a slab of meat with two more dipping sauces (in all, we counted 10 of those mini sauce cups on our table! Really? If you have to give your customers convenient cover-up's for the food, you need to rethink your cooking and seasoning! The service was slow - we talked to our waitress two times - to take our drink order and then our food order. After that we didn't see her until she brought the check. When the hostess came to clear our table, she asked how our meal was. I told her about mine, and she said "Huh. They didn't leave a spicy aftertaste?" She didn't offer to comp it or appologize. We won't be back.
(1)Samantha M.
Nothing too great about this place. Food was a bit overpriced, and it seemed kind of gloomy in there. Service was below average. The good thing is their all you can eat crab legs on Wednesdays.
(2)Corey J.
High price bar food. Not bad, but not anything to write home about. Stick to the drinks and you will be ok.
(2)Jim S.
I live within walking distance of this place and so was really disappointed to find it to be so mediocre. You'll do much better by going to Doolittle's Grill which is right across the street. I should say as a caveat that in 10 years of living here, I've only been there once (about 2006). However, there's a reason I only went once. Cherokee's food was completely uninspiring and the decor was plain and old looking - like a supper club that was never nice at its best and now is about 10 years past its prime.

Casper's Cherokee Sirloin Room is definitely a twin cities institution that all of my relatives, including myself have frequented quite a bit. I have been here a few times for lunch and dinner. On my recent visit, I had french onion soup which was to die for; creamy, thick, cheesy broth with Sweet onions. The sourdough was fresh from the oven with equally fresh, creamy butter. My main course, the Maytag blue cheese medallions were tender and juicy topped with rich blue cheese and vegetables that were fresh and crisp sauteed in olive oil and garlic; the garlic mashed potato's were fluffy and creamy with just the right amount of garlic. Instead of dessert, I decided to have a grasshopper (chocolate mint liqueur) was rich, satisfying, and a sweet, fitting end to a wonderful dinner. I also had a penaclotta which was equally smooth and sweet; it definitely would have come in handy on one of the 85 dig re whether that I had experienced. The service was wonderful, the waitress very friendly and knowledgeable, answering any questions that you may have. The place is just as I remember it. So, for excellent steaks, ribs, seafood, desserts, and cocktails, Casper's Cherokee Sirloin Room cannot be beat. Keep up the good work guy.!
