“We're from Wisconsin went to play bingo on Saturday afternoon sat at the bar we had a young lady who bartended who was unbelievable she had a German accent I've never seen anybody hustle like she did it was a very very good experience“

“We had dinner at the Commander last night. We were a little hesitant because of a spate of not very good reviews but, wound up with a really good experience. Our server, Heather, was quite pleasant, and very attentive. The food and drinks were really good and served promptly. The prime rib was a healthy portion and very good. The $25 price was well worth it. Reviews can be very interesting. The only thing I can say is that if the spotty reviews were earned, and I have no basis for not believing other reviewers, then just maybe management learned from them. Our experience was very good and I wouldn't hesitate to go back“

“Go here quite often. Great staff, food, and fun. I highly recommend.“

The thigh and leg rotisserie style, fabulous, celery cheese olives lemon and bacon. All for $13. then I had an appetizer of firecracker shrimp with blue cheese dressing. It was absolutely delicious!“

“We stopped by this evening for dinner. There was a sign posted, they were short staffed and there could be a wait for service. One young girl had all the tables and did a fantastic job. We did NOT have to wait at all. She stayed on top of things. We ordered the chicken Chimichangas and the chicken enchiladas. both were excellent! We would order again! While the building is a little tired, the food makes up for it!! We will be back!!“
