Mess Hall ILM

We had an incredible experience here. We got the Carolina Burger with tots and added the Samdawg for only $3! My husband and I split everything and both loved it all. The dog was really solid but the burger was the star of the show. It had a Cheerwine chili that provided a little sweetness along with a slaw that really balanced the flavor. Also, highly recommend both their ranch and the mess sauce!

I had a great experience at Mess Hall. The staff was genuinely friendly, they even complimented my shirt, which was a nice personal touch and made me feel welcome right away. The atmosphere is awesome, with a fun cargo-style theme, plenty of outdoor seating, and games that make it a place I’d love to come back to in the evening to hang out. There was no wait when I visited, which made the experience even better. The food was excellent. The tater tots stayed crispy even with the sauce on them, the beef was cooked perfectly, and the special sauce was absolutely delicious. Everything paired together really well and made for a satisfying meal. The only downside is that parking is a bit limited, but the food, atmosphere, and friendly service more than make up for it. I’d definitely recommend giving Mess Hall a try and will be back.

Best ranch ever, first of all. the tots are exactly what you want in a tater tot, and the nutella milkshake is amazing. they were out of the milkshake of the month, so i will definitely be back to try that too! I came here 6/13 around 8:00 and all the staff was so friendly, helpful, and kind. they are really working hard to keep this place running so smoothly, making it super enjoyable for the customers!

I recently checked out Mess Hall ILM in Wilmington, NC, and it definitely lives up to the buzz. The space is very nice and clean, with a modern industrial look that gives it a cool, laid back vibe. It is the kind of place that feels perfect to hang out with friends for a while rather than just grabbing food and leaving. The service was very quick, and everything came out hot and fresh without much of a wait. Now let’s talk about the food. The burger is easily the best in ILM, juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right. Paired with their tater tots, which are crispy and perfectly seasoned, it is a simple combo done extremely well. It is a little pricey for just a burger and tots, but the quality and overall experience make it worth it if you are in the mood for one of the best in town. One thing to note is that it can get a bit loud, mainly because of the high ceilings and metal walls that echo sound around the space. Overall, Mess Hall ILM is a great spot with amazing burgers, fast service, and a cool atmosphere. If you are in Wilmington and craving a top tier burger, this is the place to go.

This has been on my list of places to check out for monthes and I finally got a free night so I was excited to try! I really enjoyed the atmosphere and community of this restaurant! The food was super good and I loved it! I'm vegan and I got their tator tots bowl and it was AMAZING! They have like some super secret vegan sauce they add to the dish that really takes it to the next level! I love how they can cater to different diets! It looks like they had other options to try as well and I can't wait to come back and get to taste them again! They're apparently known for their tots and I can see why! They're fried perfectly and so crispy!!! I loved every bite! I brought mine home and reheated as well and it tasted just as good! Definitely would check out if you're stopping by Wilmington!
