It’s been awhile since I have eaten at the Dinner Bell and it was well worth it! The staff, atmosphere and the food was great! Love the fried chicken, fried egg plant and yellow squash casserole! I will make sure to go back often. Love it!
Loved the atmosphere, the service was great.... but the food... brought back memories from my childhood... chicken and dumpling, fried eggplant, chicken �..... yummy �
My favorite place to go for fried chicken. The fried eggplant and dumplings are also great. It's served on a large lazy Susan ... very unique experience.
A truly fabulous experience. Great southern dining at its finest. The fried chicken was excellent as was the fried eggplant. Sitting at the large round table with other guests was a unique but pleasant experience as well. If you are ever in McComb treat yourself to this neat experience.
GREAT CLASSIC SOUTHERN COOKING!!. I haven't been here in a while I guess I should call prior to traveling because they always seem closed when I go but thanksgiving dinners here were always a good treat the fried chicken and stuffing and eggplants are among the best!
Excellent eating. Not crazy about fighting people for the dishes on the turn table but well worth the bother considering.
Load up on the delicious old fashioned southern veggies n skip the meats n deserts.
Classic and wonderful. The Dinner Bell will not disappoint you. They have the best fried chicken in town, amazing banana pudding, and friendly service...plus all the southern favorites you can think of for the sides. It is buffet style but you get to sit the whole time and spin the giant lazy susan at the round table to get what you want! Wonderful place to go...if you are just passing through town it will be memorable and if you live here it will be a favorite :)
Awesome! Like dinner at Grandma's with all your favorite foods.
Enjoyed it - 3 stars out of 5. Operations: very efficient: Large table could fit 16 people. The food: everything was great except the ribs (cooked in the oven instead of smoked on the pit. The sweet potato casserole - heavenly as well as the yellow squash. The fried chicken could have been better.
Food was always hot: and always coming.
Rating: gave it 3 stars because it did not rock my out of me feet . Just good cooking.
Yummy!. We always get lunches to go because we never have time to eat in. They always give us so much food, there is enough left over for another meal. The eggplant is delicious and so is the fried chicken. My favorite? Porkchops!
Good southern cooking. When in McComb the Bell is where I go for a great lunch. One of two round table restaurants in the area with verry good southern food. The chicken is different at each and both are tasty!
I have a fried chicken addiction!
grimer!
I love to take my mother here. We have been going there for years. One of the last traditional round table seating restaurants left. As you would expect, serves southern comfort food on a rotating "Lazy Susan" style table. Known for their fried chicken, dumplins, vegetables, famous fried egg plant, and deserts, they also have various other dishes. Menu varies from day to day.
Besides the good food, dining is always enjoyable as you get to meet local patrons, many from other places in Mississippi and Louisiana, as well as those from other states.
Service is friendly. Prices are a little higher but worth the experience.
We have been to the Dinner Bell years ago and decided to go today. Nothing has changed! It is the same delicious food and the setting is awesome. There are several rooms with large tables in each one. On each table there is a large lazy Susan. You are seated with other people and you serve your own self. They keep the serving dishes full of delicious home cooked vegetables and meats and it is very reasonable to eat there. The Dinner Bell was originally built in 1959. Later, they added additional rooms to enlarge. It is about an hour and a half drive from Baton Rouge.
The Dinner Bell is an awesome place to eat. You sit at this big round table that you can turn and pick whatever you want to eat. The food is really good, and the people starts a conversation with one another, and everyone's like one big family. The owner, and servers are great! I think it's a wonderful place to dine!
I really want to rate it 3.5. For its history and unique vibe only. Food is very bland and mediocre. I guess its like "grandma 's " years ago although my grandmother was a fabulous cook but most people are not that lucky. I would go again with a group that wanted to eat there if that was what they wanted, but I would not go out of my way. Mostly canned vegetables. Sweet potatoes and eggplant are good. Chicken is ok. Mine was dry. So is the cornbread.
Make sure you time your trip right - only open Tues- Sunday 11-2 but worth diverting from the interstate. The experience is as much a reason to go as the food. The food!! Southern favorites like fried chicken, red beans & rice, mashed sweet potatoes, limas, lots more!
Hadn't been able to go to the Dinner Bell in years. They were still just as good as I remember. The staff was super friendly. I really enjoyed myself.
Great down home country cooking . The ladies that keep the tables filled are terrific and friendly. Recommend getting there for 11 to avoid the crowd. WONDERFUL PEOPLE
