I'm standing inline and there's a cashier, that's running between the coffee shop part, and ringing in all the people waiting in line. Literally working 2 registers and making coffee.

Maybe don't berate your staff when it's the lunch rush. The staff rocked! Management, not so much.

The cabin-like décor is anything but campy at Messhall. The thematic notes throughout the…read morerestaurant are embedded in the details, from the plates to the decor on the wall, the bathroom doors, and some of the menu items too. It's the perfect place to get your buzz on before you get yourself to The Greek. Or simply grab some bites and connect with friends in a casual setting. Personally, I choose to sit at the bar, but there are communal tables and more intimate booths, as well as patio seating with the massively tall, old, and iconic everygreen trees along Los Feliz Blvd. to further set the tone. I've been coming here for years just for the oysters. I'm a glutton for those shucked delicacies and Messhall does it up right for a great price during happy hour. On Tuesdays, they're $1 each and Wednesday Happy Hour prices are $2/oyster. They're always fresh and served with mignotte sauce (shallots + red wine vinaigrette). I like to pair my oysters with a martini so I often opt for the Gin Gimlet ($10) because crazy people love their gin. Or if you can take advantage of their Mini 'Tini ($6), then do so. Again, I go for a Gin Mini 'Tini because well, crazy people love gin. However, Vodka is another option for these adorable mini drinks for lightweights like moi. For the carnivorous souls, the Backyard Burger looks filling enough and there's a Hangar Steak with Frites (aka fries) that looks amazing and you can get that for $20 during Wednesday nights, which isn't bad these days for a solid piece of moo. The "Blackened Shrimp Slider" on the HH Menu isn't bad for $3. So if you're jonesing for a cabin-like vibe with a modern twist, Messhall is a good stomping ground for locals, and bar service is always on point. *** FUN FACT: Speaking of those evergreen trees just out front. They're often confused for pine trees, but they're actually "Cedar Deodora Trees" that were planted in the 1920s. They're like a century old now, which further adds to the charm of this area. Now if only they could share their opinions of Messhall. I bet they'd have a few campfire stories of their own to tell. ***

The sides are pretty small for their price. The Crudo only had a few pieces of fish. The biscuits were good, buttery. Happy hour ends at 6 PM, so you could come earlier to get some drinks and then start the oysters at 6 PM. The mai tai was not very accurate, didn't really taste like a true mai tai. Overall, I would come back for the $1 oyster deal, but I wouldn't order anything else next time, only the oysters

There's a lot of variety here, which makes it perfect if you can't decide what you're in the mood for. Some of my favorites are Gyoza Boyz for their hibachi steak plate, Island To Table Patty Hut for the mild beef patty, and Tea Maru for the Okinawa milk tea slush! They also have a great hot dog spot, Enigma Coffee, and more options to explore. Indoor and outdoor seating plus bathrooms are a huge plus. Overall, it's a solid spot with something for everyone and a great place to mix it up when you're indecisive.

As I sat down with my tray, he cheerfully asked if I needed anything else. He then told me helpfully not to worry about the tray that he would pick it up. This is especially helpful to people who are first time customers and who do not know the protocol. Later as I was leaving, he went out of his way to say thank you and goodbye and wish me a good day. Loved his attitude and outstanding service. My complements to the chefs, the great vibe and the great people who make up Philippe's.

Indoor and outdoor seating available. What they do make is delicious. Pasta, burgers, Mexican, chicken, salads, a salad bar. All affordable. But you may want to plan your lunch hour earlier rather than later (like 11:30). If you have your heart set for a specific menu item, you may be disappointed if you don't get there early. Some stuff runs out. If it's gone, they're not making any more. I've been disappointed to have to make a second choice in a moment's notice on two different occasions in four visits. I only have a 30-minute lunch and have little time for a cook to make something. I'm usually ordering something packed up and ready to go. This would otherwise be 4 stars, but it's 3 because they don't always have what I want.

Sometimes along the way, I find a home, like Public Works. First I had to observe and report, then I had to observe and report, now I have to observe and report. All that observing and reporting makes me hungry and this cafeteria does not disappoint. I've installed custom stainless steel stuff in this kitchen that I cut out and shaped myself! I've checked behind the fridges and coolers, this place is clean. Cafeterias, Cantinas, Chow Halls, all hold a special place in my heart (they feed me). My bosses are hiring again, why they don't promote first? I'll never entirely understand (I work so hard). I hear these candidates asserting themselves, freezing up, oscillating and bending at the waist. I want to tell them there's an obstacle course for laborer applicants, but they aren't laborer applicants because no one starts from the bottom anymore - it's romantic and old fashioned, it's quaint and rustic, it's over. For me it's the classic novel found on a shelf in the middle of the night, devoured like a piece of meat. Ground chuck, ground floor, it's the parking lot below the ground floor actually, it's the shovel and the gravel, the shot put and the post hole digger, anyways I could go on forever about what it is and what it isn't, but this cafeteria though, what they've got is a griddle where the eggs spread thin before hardening, and then the other ingredients can be wrapped inside a cozy egg blanket, and then it all gets rolled up into a tasty tortilla. There's salsa and a salad bar, there are sandwiches and snacks, coffee and juice, don't be afraid, it's only lunch.

We came in a party of 10 & there was enough seating for us all. I love the order first then seat yourself because we didn't have to deal with splitting a check or waiting on a waiter. I ordered the Asian chicken salad. Um this was so good. It's a huge portion and I arrived after a catered birthday party so I was already slightly fulll but I finished the entire plate cause it was so yummy. Definitely would love to come back and try out more from their menu! But it would take multiple visits because their portions are so large!
