Commander Restaurant

Returned a breakfast item as it was not prepared correctly and they did not use ingredients as advertised on menu. We politely pointed that out immediately when served (didnt eat or touch) "Owners wife" refused to remove charge from guest check and said; "take it home then". We didn't want it as it was pretty badly prepared and not appetizing at all. Still they charged full price even though we left it untouched. Never ever will we be going back.

We were meeting family coming from Michigan and a half-way point was Munster, Indiana. If you are looking for great food & service with a diner-type atmosphere this is it! From the time we walked in the restaurant, we felt at home. The hostess was very friendly and was an expert in hospitality. The waitress was very knowledgeable, kind, attentive, and efficient! The food was amazing and the portions very generous. The meal was timed perfectly. The large menu has a variety of choices and everything we ordered was excellent. Highly recommend. Thank you for a great experience!

Been going here for years and for the past couple of months I have been seeing the sewerage flies everywhere, I have been trying to ignore the flies but finally after so many months of just ignoring the flies I actually mentioned it to the older lady I believe she is part of ownership because only family manage the cashier station ! Well it was just horrible they have gotten worse within time thoose sewer flies everywhere and couldn’t even eat comfortably without having to flag them away every second. On my way out I let the older lady with glasses at the register know of this after she asked how was my visit and she simple said yes I know they come from the bathroom sewerage I was stunned to see that she didn’t really care for it I got my change and walked out! Never again, I will have to find a different establishment for me to enjoy a meal ! Sad to say that they are ok with flies coming from toilets to their customers food !

We ordered breakfast and lunch.. The ham and cheese omelet was fluffy, hot, and delicious. The potatoes are crispy and hot. The sausage gravey was delicious. The chicken & rib combo was delicious. The chicken was crispy and juicy. The ribs fall off the bone.. Lemon rice soup wash delicious and hot too.. Thank You, and Happy New Year....

The Commander is clearly a venerated part of the Munster community, though both its service and food have seen better years. A look around the restaurant speaks volumes as to the issue, experienced in a simple omelet. Where a traditional omelet is a folded and formed patty of egg with ingredients cooked inside, this is a crumbled scramble with egg the consistency of rehydrated mashed potato mix. The chorizo has absolutely no heat or flavor and somehow the cook managed to cook the jalapeño slices to the point that they provided texture rather than heat. Hot sauce was needed to have any appreciable taste. Photo evidence shown to demonstrate the odd consistency of this so called "omelet." Hash browns were almost flavorless, and the pancakes marginally better. The toast managed to look and taste like it had remained under a heat lamp for far too long. I ate it all because I was very hungry and mother taught me to clean my plate. Service is spotty and seems to not pay close attention to the order being made. The decor is comfortable and seating a high point of the experience. All in all, this returns us to the clientele. They seemed pleasant but nobody under 50 was in the restaurant. It clearly caters to customers who require the consistency of their food be for aging pallets. The flavors (or lack thereof) are centered around customers who want food to be light on spice, high on comfort. In this, I can't even say it's competently made. I will not be back.
