    Fish and fries

    This was my second time trying this restaurant. Found this place while passing through back in June and it was delicious I decided since we were in the area hiking we had to go back. The first time I had the most amazing house salad so I knew what I wanted this time. Well what I thought I ordered was not what I got not sure if it was my fault or the kitchens fault. Needless to say I didn't say anything but I got a plan salad with just romaine lettuce, red onions and tomatoes with the really delicious blue cheese dressing but really wanted the salad on the menu. Sadly it cost the same price as the salad I was ordering but it was missing provel and the pepperoni not really sure why it was $9 since it was a basic salad. The fried mushrooms were so delicious. I'll definitely go back when back this way because really wasn't sure whose fault it was since I didn't speak up.

    We were heading home from Evansville and picked Booneville. There were a few places on the square. I happened to find parking at Commanders so we picked them. What a great choice! We sat at the bar and I asked the bartender what he recommended. He said the cheesesteak and burgers. That's what we ordered. No regrets. Absolutely delicious. It looks high end on the inside but not that way at all. Very comfortable. Engaging bartender. Check them out.

    Absolute best spot to eat in Newburgh/Boonville area. Great family owned restaurant where no one is a stranger. Fantastic Old Fashioned and other cocktails. Don't sleep on Commanders!

    If you love good food and history, this place will not disappoint. What an awesome find while road tripping one evening! As far as good, the Indiana Tenderloin sandwich is a treat. A huge pork tenderloin on a nice hoagie bun and all the fixin's tasted wonderful. It practically melted in my mouth and was so flavorful. The blueberry cheesecake was one of the best cheesecakes I have ever tasted and is made from scratch from the owner's family friend. Service was great and staff was amazing. Saw a local coming in and the bartender motioned to them and began their drink if choice from memory. It reminded me of the Cheers theme song about a place where "everyone knows your name." The atmosphere was of people who seemed to be close friends and neighbors and treated us as new friends when we walked in. The namesake of the restaurant and uncle of the owner (and Boonsville native) is the late U.S. Navy Captain Ralph Weyerbacher, the father of the navy's rigid airships created and utilized shortly after WWI. He created them from memory after studying the German Zeppelin. He commanded the USS SHENANDOAH (ZR 1) which was the flagship for the prototypes made for the Navy. Although they were never really utilized in warfare, it was a forerunner of the modern-day Naval Aviation. Being retired Navy, this was a particularly memorable experience. It was enjoyable to see the pride this community takes in its native children. Ee thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant and will definitely find a reason to make the trip back to Boonville to eat here again! You MUST come in and enjoy a moment in your day with these great folks in a great community. We loved it here.

    The food, service, and ambiance were all amazing! My very hard to impress 7 year old said this was the best grilled cheese he's ever had.
