The Dinner Bell

Our first time ever at a Dinner Bell. It was wonderful! Food was outstanding! Fried chicken, ham, corn salad, eggplant, black eyed peas, collard greens, lime beans, sweet potatoes, dumplings, squash, corn bread, BBQ ribs, rice and gravy. Plus a lot of desserts. We ate at a table with 10 other people...just like family.

It was as I remembered. Haven't been here in over 30 years. Definitely brought back my childhood memories. Even to the old smell of the building.

The Dinner Bell is that hidden gem. If you are traveling on I-55, get off for McComb. You really need to go for lunch. Everything is home cooked. I went there by myself. I sat down with people I didn't know. It turned into family this family dinner. Everyone talking about where they were from and where they were going. The food was hot and flavorful. The service was as good as the food.

The food here is true at-home, old-timey Southern cooking, and absolutely delicious! This place is one-of-a-kind.

Traditional Southern MS family style dishes served on a large rotating lazy-Susan. Certainly a unique location for the region!

I have been a number times and my last trip was with friends who haven’t been before. They enjoyed it and would come back. The service is always great and the employees are always happy to take care of you. Recommend it highly and will continue to go there. Just wish it stayed open longer.

Came here with a wedding party dinner. The food was out and waiting for us. The tables have “Lazy Susan” turnstiles on them and you turn it to get what you want. There was a wide selection of food: ribs, steak in gravy, chicken, and more. The wife says the chicken was amazing. The staff was very nice and courteous; bringing refills and more plates of various dishes.

I love the country cooking and the atmosphere. The lazy Susan is unique and adds fun to the experience.

I’ve been coming here for decades, a great traditional Southern sideboard. Best fried chicken ever!

Southern cooking at it's best! The fried eggplant and fried chicken are a must! Such a cool and unique experience eating at the large round table with a lazy susan in the middle. Will be back!

Relaxed casual dining with great Southern dishes. Very reasonable price. Inside an old mansion right off Hwy. 51 in McComb, Mississippi.

Drove 2 hours to visit and planning on going back. Home cooking. Plenty of food. Dessert included. No wait. Friendly service.

This is the best place I have gotten food from in years. This is some good old fashioned down home southern cooking. And the carousel table was to die for. Everything in here from the main course to the desert to the drinks were done perfectly just like I remember my grandma cooking!!!! I ran into this place making a delivery all the way from Hammond Louisiana and I will gladly take anybody back there that's looking for something good to eat I wouldn't mind driving an hour and a half just to go there. Just to show everybody that from scratch good cooking has not gone away.

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 home style food

A group of 18 from Healing Place Church had lunch there two weeks ago and only 3 of us had been there before. Everyone raved about the experience and food. One couple took home four takeout plates! You can't beat the Dinner Bell for bringing you the sense of a family Sunday meal from long ago. It reminds me of eating at my grandma's house when I was a child.

Some of my best memories of eating at the Dinner Bell are sharing a table with total strangers. I have been blessed to meet folks from other states; and at times find that I'm sitting next to a home town person.

They have the best fried chicken and fried eggplant. Then there is the smothered cabbage, yellow squash, rice and homemade gravy, bean of the day, cornbread, ribs and the best sweet tea in the South! Probably in the US, but I've never had it out of South Louisiana.

Some advice based on much experience, wear your loose fitting pants.

A great southern comfort food experience.
Certainly recommend for a change of scenery from every day dining to a rather unique lazy Susan dining with locals.

Hands down, the best country (not cajun) cooking I've ever had from a restaurant. I'm southern, always have been, and have eaten at restaurants all across the southern states. From blues sheds to the some of the finest dining; this place tastes like "home" and I love it. Would give 100 stars if I could.
The people are fantastic, so is the whole place in general. Love!

The Dinner Bell is the most Mississippi restaurant in the South. The eggplant and the squash casserole are amazing as is the banana pudding. I love their fried chicken. Honestly there isn't a single thing I've ever thought was average (I've gone about 5 times over the last 15 years).

I come down from Kentucky and had the privilege of having Thanksgiving dinner @ the dinner 🔔. Food was wonderful and a great experience, I would most definitely be back and recommend this restaurant to everyone. Love the tables ,no wait staff asking you you every 45 seconds, you o.k ? Lol,yes, but can't you see my mouth is full of food!
