We ate there Saturday we got there rite as it opened so not much of a wait at all . It was our first time to eat there and won’t be our last. They have the best home cooking i have ever had at restaurant! The pork chops were delicious and the sliced tomatoes off the salad bar were the best . It was well worth the hour and 45 min drive to eat there.

Been to the Dinner Bell many times. Hands down the best home cooking in the area. It’s a unique experience with seating at picnic tables with others, but we’ve always enjoyed chatting with our neighbors. Best service and cobbler you will find. All that and the price is reasonable. They give a military and police/fire discount. Limited days/hours make this place very popular. A must do if you’re in the area on the days they are open.

This is not an intimate dinning type restaurant. Tables are 10 foot or so long picnic type tables and you share space with other patrons. From the well stocked salad bar to the very generous selection of hot food every thing is buffet style. Hot food buffet is in a bit of a crowded alcove where you do meet the other dinners and get opinions on the various dishes. All in all this "homey" family type of atmosphere works well here, much more than a lot of places where I have seen it done. I found only one dish to avoid and that was the pickled Okra on the salad bar it was limp and vinegary. Biggest draw backs were food was too good and you will over eat and the restrooms were outside "round to the side" of the building (modern plumbing) sort of fit in with the overall feel of the place..

Food and people are simply the best. Home cooking and all you can eat! The chicken and fish especially are fantastic.

If you leave here hungry then you hate food! Simply love this place. The fried Catfish and Chicken was top notch. Not many places like this anywhere anymore. Buffet style with many, many options. Salad/Desert bar was loaded. And the cast iron pan Cornbread , well yea it was awsome!

My husband heard about The Dinner Bell from a friend on social media and we decided to give it a try this Sunday afternoon. We were not disappointed. The food was delicious and the service was good. Wasn't expecting the seating with other people at the table we didn't know but we met some really nice people this way. We are glad we came and hopefully will get back again soon.
