Commander's Grill honors Commander Ralph Downs Weyerbacher, a Boonville native who designed and built the U.S. Navy's first rigid airship in 1923. His innovation changed American flight. We build every plate with the same discipline.
The same engineering discipline that changed American flight in 1923 goes into every plate we build tonight. Nothing is an afterthought. Nothing is rushed.
Hand-crafted smashed burgers, buttermilk fried chicken, USDA Prime steaks and chops, built with the same care as the instruments on the wall.
Mike, Julie and chef Ben Reeder run the dining room their neighbors show up for. Walk-ins welcome. Come see why the whole square smells like Wednesday night.
Honoring a Boonville native’s Naval innovation
Our Story
Commander’s Grill is named in honor of Commander Ralph Downs Weyerbacher, a Boonville native who designed and built the U.S. Navy’s first rigid airship in 1923. His innovation and precision changed American military flight.
We build every plate with that same discipline: hand-crafted, exact, and worth the wait.
Built On Innovation. Raised On Hospitality.
