Mess Hall ILM

First time at this cool little spot! I ordered the Samdawg - a funky little concoction that was an unexpected combination and a happy surprise! The flavor blend was excellent. My husband got a burger with Cheer wine chili - he loved it too. There are no fries, but each order is served with tater tots and they were perfectly crispy. I loved the atmosphere, prices and friendly staff also. We will be back!

My buddy suggested we take a ride over and catch lunch at the mess hall. It’s a neat little building with seating indoors and outdoors. We ordered at the counter and then sat outside where they brought our food to us. I had the Sam’s burger, which was fantastic. I got the tater tots with a side of the mess sauce, which was delicious on them. I had a fat ass moment and topped it all off with a orange dream sickle shake. My absolute favorite, Dunn to perfection. It’s my favorite burger in Wilmington so far. It’s a nice quiet little neighborhood, a nice spot to catch a bite and relax.

WOW I haven't had a burger and tots like this in a LONG time. Simply delicious 🤤 I got the breakfast burger. The bun was soft, the patty crispy and the sauce pulled this thing together in a supreme symphony of burgerphonic flavors. The tots were crispy, hot and delicious paired with their ketchup that sat table side. Will be back. Must go back. JUST GET THERE.

They have amazing tots and some fun combos. Order at the counter and then you’ll get a buzzer to get your food once it’s ready. The burgers tasted a little dry and not too much flavor. Also didn’t love the potato bun. Fun cocktails at the bar. Friends had the hot dogs and said those were really good.

Great spot tucked away in Wilmington. Food is outstanding. Service could use some improvement, seemed to be understaffed. One young lady out front trying to take orders while on the phone and make drinks. She still found the time to be friendly once she was done with the long line. Again, outstanding place to eat, great atmosphere. Will return.

Excellent Burger. Old-fashioned. Tots are very popular round here, these are some of the best. Hot dog was a miss for me. Not a good dog, no natural casing, no snap to it, and horribly under done (basically warmed up) no char. Maybe it's a roller dog 🤷. But not for me. A little less sauce would be my preference, but sauce is fun and interesting.

My husband ordered the Samburger and I ordered the Carolina burger with Scott's tots. Oh my goodness, it was so good! We will definitely be returning!

Perfect place to come, enjoy a drink, and listen to live music. Very impressive. P.S. Enjoyed the creative entrance... you got me. Giggles.
