All About Us…

The Nook has been a part of the St. Paul neighborhood scene since 1938. Folklore has that the location was once a horse barn and then a gas station before it was Wally’s Nook, The Nook, Mickey’s Nook, and finally, Casper’s & Runyon’s Nook. Freshly made hamburgers, fresh-cut homemade french fries and a history of great customers are star attractions at the Nook. In 2000, the recipe for the famous burgers was handed down to the new owners, Ted Casper and Mike Runyon, from Mickey Brausen, former owner and a top-notch cook for 35 years. The Casper and Runyon families, together, have been serving St. Paul for 20 years and we hope to for many more. Enjoy!  - Ted Casper & Janessa Casper and Mike & Brittany Runyon
