I highly recommend their breakfasts. Breakfast dishes are actually amazing. But lunch and dinner are just ok, not bad. I've been here dozens of times and they're consistent. Lunch and dinner are ... not bad... The quesadilla is tiny, extremely small, but delicious. Their enchiladas are mediocre, I'd try something else. The Spanish rice needs reworking. Manager: please try something else different recipes for Spanish rice. The rice is actually not good, I couldn't finish it. Their beans are good, yes. The tortilla chips? Bad! What's up with those? Really, find a different brand, a different supplier. The chips are almost inedible (unless you're starving on a desert island). So... to summarize: Dinner Bell is ok, not good not bad. I'll definitely go for breakfast but probably not anything else, we'll see.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I have the pleasure of dining at the Dinner Bell in Van, Texas, and I can't stop raving about it! This charming diner has become my new favorite spot for hearty, homemade meals available all day long. From the moment you step inside, you are welcomed with a warm and friendly atmosphere, where locals gather to enjoy delicious food and great company. The menu is a delightful mix of classic diner favorites. I ordered their famous hamburger steak, with mash potatoes and gravy, and it felt like a warm hug on a plate! You can taste the love and care in every bite. The ingredients are fresh, and they definitely know how to cook comfort food just right. What truly sets this diner apart is their incredible staff. Each member brings a smile and genuine hospitality that makes you feel like part of the family. Whether it's your first visit or you're a regular, they treat everyone like neighbors, creating a delightful sense of community. If you're in Van, Texas, and craving some truly homemade meals in a cozy setting, I highly recommend stopping by the Dinner Bell . You won't be disappointed! I can’t wait to go back and try more delicious dishes from their extensive menu. Five stars all the way! 🍽️❤️

Wonderful food and great service at an amazing price! We had a party of two adults and three kiddos. I ordered the yummy Patty melt with a side salad. Y’all, their ranch is amazing and homemade. My mom ordered the meat omelette with hash-browns. She loved it and my 19 month old son ate half of it. My daughter ordered the 2 pancake with bacon meal and loved it. My son ordered the waffle. And of everything we received, that was our least favorite. It just wasn’t fluffy or crisp. Our lovely waitress told us the biscuits are homemade and fresh, so we started with two orders of biscuits with a side of gravy. Fabulous! So fluffy and delicious! I also ordered the broccoli & cheddar soup. It was yummy! All together we spent under $50 for all that food. What a steal! Highly recommend y’all!! Can’t wait to go back! Ps. Take cash, as there is a 3.99% credit card fee.
EXCELLENT home style cooking. 👍👍
