Located in the heart of Los Feliz, MessHall re-interprets regional American cuisine using local, sustainable, organic and seasonal ingredients.

MessHall stands in the storied walls of what was once Willard’s Chicken Inn, and later The Brown Derby. During the “Golden Age of Hollywood,” legendary film director Cecil B. DeMille opened Willard’s Chicken Inn, a country-colonial chicken restaurant that quickly became the place to be for Hollywood’s elite. The building’s unique dome-shaped roof allowed for a water pumping system that made it one of the first air conditioned restaurants in America.

The structure was designed by influential architect Wayne McAllister, credited with creating some of the most popular mid-century drive-ins and car hops. MessHall pays respectful homage to the building's heritage, adding new elements such as brickwork, the corrugated metal bar face and communal tables of reclaimed wood, while custom white-oak tabletops and pops of color throughout add a more modern edge.

Messhall took full advantage of the large space and all of their fine touches—the wall of cafeteria trays, communal tables, elementary school looking chairs, high ceilings, hardwood floors, exposed brick walls and large interlocking wood beams above the bar—resemble an actual mess hall, but with a more upscale touch.
