Casper's chili is legendary and is served spilling over your bowl style. It's the oldest diner (since 1909) on Route 66 and has been featured in USA Today and other publications. Shakes, old fashion steak burgers, coneys and homemade desserts. It's located in small unique Quonset hut with a rather artsy decor. We go every time we get a big snowfall!

Drinks & Nightlife
I'm not a drinker but my husband and I checked the newly opened Tie & Timber out because its just up the street on Pickwick. We tried the specialty beers and enjoyed them. They don't serve food but you are welcome to bring in anything you want. Young adults were playing board games and having pizza. During nice weather, they bring food trucks to the parking lot and it's popular with the neighborhood.
