    It baffles me to no end as to why The Dinner Bell has such a cult following. I have combined all of my dining experiences and could not come up with one full star. The lettuce needs to be rinsed before using as it has a seriously strong chemical taste. The lettuce ruined an entire cornbread salad. The Thousand Island dressing literally melted and dissolved into a salad. I have never seen that happen before. Makes you wonder just what chemicals are used on the lettuce. It ruined the cornbread salad. I've tried all the known cornbread salads within 40 miles and this is the most disappointing version. It is very dry but the lettuce is so off putting you get queasy eating it. Grilled fish too salty to eat. Fried catfish unremarkable. Meat loaf with large pieces of vessels in the meat. Yak! Flavorless hamburger on kaiser bun. Steak so small it resembled a piece of pepperoni. I know if you have eaten out more than a few times you have undoubtedly ran into a dumb waiter or waitress. I mean dumb as in zero common sense. A waitress brought a refill of sweet tea and these were her words, "we had a lot of people say this batch of tea has spoiled. If you don't like it I can bring you some different." Why did common sense not tell her to taste the tea for herself? Why doubt customers and not pour that batch out immediately? Why bring questionable items to a table? With the amount of turn over this place has, how did tea have time to spoil? Oh, and yes, the tea was indeed spoiled...along with the rest of our appetites. I grew up in the South and raised on Southern food. I continue to cook the same foods by the same methods. The food at The Dinner Bell is not true Southern Food. They serve the bastardized version of Southern food. They are selling people on the 'idea' of home cooked food. Opening tin cans of pinto beans, green beans and corn and keeping them warm under heat lamps is a far far cry from Southern cooking. Purchasing precut, precoated and precooked squash, green tomatoes and okra from the Sysco truck for convenience is the norm for all the local restaurants offering 'home cooking'. This convenience does not pay off in flavor and texture. There is absolutely NOTHING more enjoyable and satisfying than eating fresh corn cut off and fried in salt, pepper and butter in an iron skillet, served with cornbread. Pinto beans cooked long and slow with onion and pork, either in the form of fatback, hog jowl, bacon or ham. Real butter melted on piping hot cornbread with a crunchy golden brown crust, made without sugar. Fresh fried green tomatoes so tart you can't help but pucker on that first bite. Slimy boiled okra. Dry crispy fried okra. Anyone eating here and claiming it is the best home cooking they've had is just a sad case. To Each Their Own.

    Great Southern food restaurant. You could eat there for 2 weeks and never have the same thing. Good food and prices! Service was fantastic. Busy place but the line moved quickly. We had steak, grilled fish and fried fish strips. All was great. I really enjoyed the thin crinkle cut French fries.

    So, I am out in Corinth, MS now. Yours truly, the Yelp Goddess of the mystical traveling ways, is becoming one with "The Sticks" of MS and is in search of a tasty Southern meal. The Dinner Bell is hailed as a local favourite for this task. I took the challenge. Prepare to receive judgment!! Now, before you ask, yes, I do know good Southern food. On the list of my credentials for sampling of Southern cuisine is places like Poogan's Porch and the Glass Onion in Charleston, SC. So I know what to expect! Plus, my Dad was a Florida cracker and educated my tastebuds. The restaurant has simple decor, wooden tables, aluminum panel ceiling, and a nice size dining area. Table was a little sticky, but I don't think it is from not cleaning as much as OVER cleaning with harsh chemicals and ruining the wood. Menu is simple with a fair number of typical Southern choices. This is NOT a vegan's delight nor a heart-healthy place. Buyer beware! After glancing over the menu, I made my selections. The chili and cornbread came first. The chili was dark - this is, as any good cook knows, a sign that the chili was darn near scorched. They caught it just before, obviously. While the overdone taste was ever so slightly there, it was a good solid chili with mild heat. Very meaty with tomatoes and beans in good proportion, I would have liked it even more if not overdone. In contrast, the cornbread was just too dry! It isn't sweet cornbread and could have been better by anyone's standard. So instead, I got a side of hush puppies added on. Now, we hit the mark here. Little bite sized munchkins of hush puppies perfectly deep fried, they were the gems of my meal! Skip the cornbread altogether and get the puppies, you will be happier! I got the 10 oz ribeye with baked potato and Texas-style toast next. The steak was a generous portion and perfectly cooked! No steak sauce needed!!! The baked potato was also a generous size and came with real butter and sour cream. No complaints there. I was not impressed with the Texas-style toast. It was toasted correctly. They overdid it on the butter, though. You could skip this and not miss a thing. So, I was gonna call it quits there. However, my very pleasant waitress said they had chocolate cobbler. I thought why not? While is it a generous small portion for only $1.50, it was nothing short of a disappointment for me. It was basically Duncan Hines-like cake mix with canned chocolate syrup on top. Not my idea of homemade as it was billed. Better idea to skip dessert entirely, walk a mile, then go for ice cream later. So the verdict? No, this isn't real down home Southern cooking, but I would say it could be termed trucker-style Southern food. Big portions, cheap pricing, but far from being the true real deal. I think if Yelp would let half stars, it is more a 2 1/2 star place, but the folks are nice and it isn't a terrible place to dine. Just not as stellar as some would have you think. Yelp Goddess has left the building!! Thank you. Thank you very much!

    It really bothers me that this place is hailed as a bastion of "Real home cooking". The food was on par with the kind of thing you might find in a hospital- it all tasted canned or frozen. The only fresh food in the entire place was on the salad bar, which would be the highlight of the restaurant, but they give you these weird tiny little wooden bowls to eat from. The whole place looks like the kind of thing you'd find set up in a high school gym or someone's basement. Fold out plastic tables, cheap chairs, office grade industrial carpet. There's kind of a weird musty smell. The only upside- the portions are big. This place is good if you're really hungry and don't mind eating sub par food, but PLEASE do not consider this to be "Real southern cooking".

    Don't believe that other review! THIS is real Southern comfort food! My coworkers and I pigged out here and loved pretty much every last bite. This is the rundown of what we inhaled: deep fried pickles (AMAZING. Best I've had) deep fried onions and jalapenos (YUM) deep fried bananas (best dessert on the menu - we tried all) deep fried green tomatoes (meh, had better elsewhere) white beans (delicious) hushpuppies (loved 'em) fried chicken breast (ORDER THIS! Best fried chicken of my life. SO juicy) baked sweet potato (fabulous) peach cobbler (decent) Ok, so we ate a lot. You get the hint. The takeaway here is to get the fried chicken and the pickles and jalapenos and banana. You will walk away with a stomachache from the grease if your system is not used to it. Deal with it. No pain, no gain. It's worth it when you are eating! :)

    Only been here only three times over the past two years, have to say that their food is good, not great. I did have a steak there and I enjoyed it very well - but had better at other places. Shrimp PoBoy is just ok. They have a fair size menu to choose from. What is a sore spot that stays with me is the menus and tables are sometimes sticky from not being cleaned as they should, same thing with the floor when walking. Bathroom is very small, dishes are plastic, etc. If located in a big city, this place would not survive the competition. From the locals's opinion, this is a great place to eat. So your experience might fair better, I hope it does.

    Had a great NY strip and baked potato. The salad bar was so so but the fried pickles were great. As one poster stated the portions are large! I would definitely go back.

    You must try the catfish fillet and cornbread salad. This place is always busy and has great customer service.

    If you want average food for an average price in a mediocre restaurant, then this is the place for you. It would be good for groups or families.
