Caspers Hot Dogs - Richmond

I haven't been to Casper's in yeaaarssssss!!!This place feels so nostalgic to me! Just brings back memories from my childhood. My mom used to take me all the time. The food : Caspers is literally a classic, tastes the exact same! The Casper dog with cheese and jalapeños was my go to so I had to get that! The service here was great. Both of the people that helped me were very friendly! My meal was $13 and some change and honestly like I said .. my mom used to bring me here so idk what the price used to be like but that's not bad for the the hotdog, chips, AND a nice size drink! Thank you Richmond Casper's for making my experience exactly what I remember!!!

I've been going here for year's and never gotten a bad hotdog, I got a cheese dog my regular it was $7.19. You can see them making your dog and they fix it just how you like it. All staff are extremely nice they all have been working here for years. They get busy but they get you in and out quick..

This is an icon of days gone by where it wasn't what you ate but who you ate with. The dogs are barking good and the ladies -and guys that serve you are happy to accommodate.

-Classic tasty hot dogs-Good customer service-Love the old-school vibe-They take cards, but I suggest bringing cash to tip

Came in wanted something different and my gf mentioned Casper's definitely coming back and ordering again felt the love there

Growing up in the Peninsula most of my life, I wasn't too familiar with Caspers Hot Dogs. In fact, I didn't know anything about them, to be honest. I just happen to be at Richmond Civic Center taking care of some personal matter and after returning to my car, I was about to drive off, but I noticed this bright, orange-colored structure staring right at me from a block away. First of all, anything that is colored orange will immediately get my attention for obvious reasons (Go Giants), and this one was practically screaming at me. I didn't start my car and ended up removing my keys from the ignition and began walking here. The architecture has a 50's old diner look to it, but only in a more compact package. The place is tiny, but it's cute and certainly stands out. They certainly have the branding on point since there's a "Caspers" sign on top of the structure and a signpost for a double whammy. Due to Covid, take-out orders at this time.When I walked in, there was a customer placing their order, but the ladies greeted me so warmly that I felt so welcomed. The menu is on the rear left of the place, and it's a simple, minimal old-school menu. Since they're famous for their hotdogs, I got a chili cheese dog ($6.69) with everything on it. The lady that was making my dog kept referring to me as "Honey" and had me buzzin' like a bee. Besides, the way that she asked if I wanted everything on it, I just couldn't resist. Really though, both of them were so sweet, friendly and lovely that I felt like on Cloud 9 and grinning from ear to ear. When I got back to my car, I had plans of devouring it, but quickly realized that wasn't going to happen with all the stuff that was on it. So, I had to wait until I got home and full discretion here...I had to eat it with a fork. I tried eating like a normal hotdog, but it was just too messy. The hotdog had a nice snap to it and tasted well with everything together. The bun couldn't hold up to all the toppings from the chili and cheese, and just made a soggy spectacle. That's why I picked up a fork. It was pure guilty pleasure, and I was enjoying the moment.Is it healthy? Probably not. Even the "cheese" sprinkled on top and melted together under the heat of the chili looked suspicious. But once in a while, eating a bit of nostalgia is worth taking a chance and it'll take you on a journey to the past. Caspers was started by an Armenian family in Chicago then moved to the Bay Area. It was established in 1934 and have expanded to 7 locations, all in the East Bay. This location in Richmond, one in Dublin, two in Hayward, one in Oakland, one in Pleasant Hill and last one in Walnut Creek. It is run by the founders' grandchildren consisting of these seven restaurants, wholesales and online sales. Funny how an orange-colored structure will make me do.

Great hotdog , great customer service , can sit down and eat inside old school setting. I liked it

Awesome hot dogs! The steamed bun makes ALL the difference! The cheese on the cheese dog just melts in your mouth, delicious. The ambience is so cool. Its like stepping into s time machine. We will go back just to say hi to Darla. This will be a regular stop.

Very poor service terrible customer service from the lady with glasses she rather do other things than your hotdog

Born and raised in Richmond in 1938 and lived on Caspers growing up. Will never forget sitting in that same building and eating what I believe is as good as a fillet.
