Commander Restaurant Bar - Pequot Lakes

I ordered a steak that was undercooked and had to send it back. When our waitress returned it, she mentioned she'd check on it later, but never did. My husband's $26 walleye was laden with bones, and the au gratin potatoes were undercooked, consisting mostly of cheese with crunchy, barely cooked potatoes underneath. Our toddler was getting restless, so I decided to take her outside since we were still waiting for our bill. I went up to the bar to ask for it, but our waitress didn’t even acknowledge me; she simply said, “Yup, I’ll get it,” and walked away. That was the most frustrating part of the experience. We definitely won’t be returning.

I visited the restaurant on a Wednesday evening for dinner and found an available booth right away, as there were only six other customers in the place. Our waitress approached us quickly. It had been a year since our last visit due to staffing issues, so we were glad to come back. I ordered a small pizza and my husband had a wrap, both of which were tasty. Overall, the service was excellent.

The pizza was fantastic, and we enjoyed buffalo nachos made with kettle chips, along with a large order of fries. My son ordered the chicken finger appetizer, which he really liked. The only downside for me was the size of the beers; they were quite small. Overall, the food was excellent!
