Coming from someone that grew up in the deep south, this is the best southern food I’ve had in Los Angeles. The cornbread is buttery perfection. The catfish bites took me back to eating catfish along the Tennessee River. The short rib melts in your mouth. And the banana pudding took me back to grandma’s house.

It’s the small things here too! A perfect Old Fashion that lets the bourbon speak and isn’t overpowered by bitters. And the assorted plates and doilies are a subtle but necessary touch for the impeccable southern vibes.

I highly highly recommend this spot. I know we will be back.

Hatchet Hall is a Southern-inspired restaurant with a California twist. The indoor dining room and bar were buzzing with energy, filled with young people enjoying their meals. We sat at the outdoor garden area, which was beautifully decorated and offered a much quieter atmosphere.
For dinner, we started with the Cast Iron Cornbread—highly recommended by my niece—and it truly was the best cornbread we’ve ever had. We also shared a Caesar salad, baked oysters, Cajun fried catfish bites, meatloaf with mashed potatoes, apple brandy short ribs, and broccolini. Every dish was flavorful and perfectly prepared.
Overall, everything exceeded our expectations, and we can’t wait to return.

I visited Hatchell Hall last Friday to celebrate my boyfriend, and unfortunately the experience was very disappointing. I had been here years ago and remembered the food being absolutely amazing, so I was really excited to share that with him. This time, everything felt far from what I remembered.

The greeting at the door was the first red flag. The host only said “hi” with no warmth, no “welcome in,” and not even a simple “do you have a reservation.” When she couldn’t find my name, she didn’t ask if it might be under a different one or try to help at all. It felt very unprofessional for a place of this level.

Our waitress also didn’t seem friendly or engaged. I smiled and greeted her, but she didn’t respond the same way. No questions about whether it was our first time, if we were celebrating anything, or even a basic menu explanation. She dropped off the menus and walked away without any interaction.

Then came the food, which was the biggest disappointment. I spent close to two hundred dollars including tips and valet, and the quality didn’t match the price.
• The corn bread presentation used to be charming, but this time it came on a plain plate with a big ball of butter on top, looking more like something from IHOP.
• The ceviche did not taste fresh at all. Both my boyfriend and I noticed the same off taste.
• The soup was okay, nothing special.
• The shrimp and grits, meatloaf and mash tasted extremely simple, like food you’d get at an average diner rather than a nicer restaurant.

In general, the food didn’t taste freshly made. It used to tasted fresh and carefully made, so this was a huge letdown.

On top of that, the way the dishes were brought to the table felt unsafe and unprofessional. My boyfriend and I were sitting next to each other, and multiple times the staff reached between us from behind to place the plates. Bringing hot food from behind guests is unsafe and definitely not proper service etiquette.

Overall, I left feeling disappointed and honestly embarrassed because I wanted this to be a special night. My boyfriend was sweet and didn’t make a big deal, but he agreed the service was bad and the food was just okay.

Had dinner here last night and the ambiance was absolutely splendid. Although we arrived late for our reservation and close to closing time, we never felt rushed. Our server was fabulous, and I wish I had gotten his name.

We ordered the Cornbread, Grilled Oysters, Pork Chop, Elk Loin, Carrots, and Mushrooms.

The cornbread was the best I’ve ever had, perfectly textured with a crisp crust, and the compote butter truly knocked it out of the park. The grilled oysters were fresh with a tomato based sauce; not bad, but they could’ve used a bit more cheese and grill time. The pork chop was excellent, crispy on the outside and juicy inside. The elk loin was cooked perfectly and paired beautifully with the apricot bacon compote.

The atmosphere inside is dark, romantic, and reminiscent of a Marie Antoinette-era aesthetic, while the patio is beautifully lit and inviting.

Definitely recommend!!

This place is genuine, and with the most relaxing vibe. The approach is to give you an experience that you and whomever you dine with you won’t forget. Food is encouraged to share, made to order with fresh ingredients. Its family owned. Just to start they offer either fresh or sparkling water. The food and presentation was top-notch. Highly recommend it, especially if you want a unique, soul warming Los Angeles dining experience. Just, take a glance at their menu online, they make a cornbread appetizer that I guarantee will be enough to come and at least try that and have a specialty drink to pair. Cozy lounge areas, romantic lighting inside and outside. The dress code was casual, and there were kids there as well.

Had dinner last night – I would call it a very good restaurant but not excellent. Started with lazy river drink which was excellent and the corn bread was very different and a highlight. The hamachi civiche was tasty and a little spicy. The pear salad was average and gnocchi loaded back potato was average . Some at our table loved the fried green tomatoes while others felt it was average. I had the elk and as others have said – not gamy. I thought it was cooked perfectly but lacked much flavor. Lastly the carrots were oil at best.

Our server was attentive but did not offer many suggestions. Like others – I found it interesting that the chef requires/recommends that your entire order be placed at one time. While it really didn’t bother me one way or another it can come off somewhat pretentious. Parking was also a challenge. PS On a lighter note – one reviewer mentioned only one bathroom – not to worry, there are two.

I’ve been wanting to try this place for a few years now. Good but expensive for non-downtown Culver City location.

Summary: THE CORNBREAD!
The rest of the menu is good, very good. The branzino was amazing but costly. There is a lot competition for the $50-$100 per person space: Hatchet Hall has nice bar area, a beautiful, cozy private room, a nice casual outdoor dining area. A unique dining space. Hatchet Hall is cool & casual place with fine dining meals and prices.

But I would go back for the cornbread and try a few other dishes. Again, everything was good.

We started with the Caesar salad, which was great and super light. The star of the show was the cornbread! absolutely incredible, it comes with a mound of butter on top that just melts right in, and we honestly wanted to order another one. It’s that good. We also had really delicious dates, scallops, and literally the best roast chicken ever. It was so juicy and so good. Totally recommend

Went to the Old Man Bar which is at the end of Hatchet Hall so this is a review for that and not Hatchet Hall itself. The Old Man bar has a very cool vibe. On Sunday and Mondays, they only serve cheeseburgers but their cheeseburgers are really good. They have a ton of whiskeys so if that’s your thing, you will not be disappointed. Good prices and very, very friendly staff. My only complaint was that the background music seemed excessively loud.

The vibe here is amazing!! loved the atmosphere and the bar area was a great place to hang out while waiting for our table. All the staff were super friendly and welcoming, which made the experience feel really good overall. That said, the food didn’t quite live up to the hype for me. The buns were overly salty and reminded me of store bought sesame burger buns, and overall the flavors just didn’t hit. But to be fair, the place was packed, so I get that it’s hard to keep food quality super high at that pace. I’d definitely come back for drinks and the vibe, just not necessarily for the food.
