Mess Hall Ilm - Porters Neck

Great food! Great atmosphere! It was better then expected! The hype is real! Go try this place!

Don’t get me wrong the food was good but very greasy. The burger needed seasoning. The Tots were crispy. I can eat here again. Maybe try a different style burger!

I don’t know who is back there making burgers, but they’re fantastic. Twisted my arm as soon as I walked in with a pimento cheese burger special. Just unreal. Turns out the tots will knock your socks off too. Will be back.

Tonight was my first time. I highly recommend this place. They have a very chill environment. Good drinks and excellent food. There was a baby crying, not that it bothered me in the slightest. I was watching how others reacted. Nobody cared, which was great to see. Babies cry, and so what. The waitress put the chair up to get ready to close and let my friend and I continue our conversation. No rush, no hey were closing. Very customer friendly and super relaxed. I felt very welcomed here and comfortable. Outstanding job in every dynamic! Thank you for making great burgers and drinks! Well done, staff, and thank you for not giving the mother a hard time with her baby. It means a lot to me as a customer when people just live their lives and bring their children and don't feel belittled by staff or customers. Excellent excellent excellent experience and service!Parking: I'm sure during rush hour this place can be packed, but that's a good thing. There was plenty of parking tonight. There are plenty of seats inside and outside, too!Kid-friendliness: It was amazing to see how relaxed everyone was with a crying baby. Too many times have I seen people, whether it be staff or customers, be entitled to tell someone hey your baby is crying please go somewhere more private etc. Thank you for being nice and letting people take care of their business. Very friendly to everyone. Truly thank you!

Even though my family insisted on eating outside and I had to defend my meal from the flies, I still enjoyed it here. Cinnamon toast crunch milkshake was great, however I will take credit if they end up creating a nutter butter milkshake ?. The burger I had to as very good and my family loves that meals were all served with the option of tater tots.
