Messhall Kitchen

Step into Messhall Kitchen and you’ll feel like you’ve been transported to your favorite summer camp, minus the lumpy bunk beds and questionable cafeteria food. This Los Feliz gem embraces a rustic cabin aesthetic complete with wood-paneled walls and a charming pine tree logo, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that instantly puts you at ease.

The menu reads like a greatest hits of American comfort food, but everything here is executed with care and quality ingredients. The mac and cheese is the star appetizer, featuring sharp Vermont white cheddar tucked into shell pasta that delivers pure indulgence in every bite. For the main event, the baby back ribs showcase what the hardwood grill can do, with beautiful smoke flavors balancing out a slightly sweet sauce. The short rib poutine defies expectations by somehow feeling light and airy despite being covered in cheese, gravy, and tender braised beef.

Messhall Kitchen shines as a gathering spot, whether you’re catching up with a big group of friends, settling in for a casual date, or just grabbing drinks and a snack during happy hour. The outdoor seating welcomes dogs, and the laid-back vibe means nobody’s in a rush to turn your table.

If you’re seeking elevated comfort food in a space that feels like a warm hug, Messhall Kitchen delivers. Come hungry and ready to embrace your inner camper, because this is comfort food done right in the heart of Los Feliz.
