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.

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.

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.

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 food was plentiful and adequate. If you enjoy eating with 20 people with a large lazy Susan with your food moving past at a fast pace, you’ll love this place. The wait was long.

Since the early part of the century, my mother’s family were residents of McComb but the end of WWII found many of the seven Carlisle children and their new families scattered across the country. I was born in McComb in 1946 but my USAF father was soon stationed everywhere but the south. Each family returned to McComb every summer to see Mama & Papa Carlisle but after they passed in the mid 1950’s, trips back to McComb from the West Coast were only for attending remaining family’s funerals at the Hollywood Cemetery. However, after the Preacher’s last Amen, spirits were greatly uplifted because we all knew we were headed to The Dinner Bell for the best “Grandmas’ cookin’ ” we’d had since the previous funeral. Like at our own Grandma’s table we youngsters didn’t budge until our plates were clean so the bread pudding or pie could be passed. All the elders are long gone but over the years I frequently visited friends in NOLA, and we always managed to find time to drive up I-55 to experience the Dinner Bell again. In 2001, I brought my husband and both adult sons “home” with me to McComb for the Carlisle Family’s last Hollywood Cemetery funeral and watched with delight as they made new memories, agreeing The Dinner Bell definitely lived up to my description. My last visit to the Dinner Bell was in 2014 and since I’m 77, widowed and live in the Pacific NW, my traveling days are pretty much done. I wanted to let everyone and especially the folks at the Dinner Bell know I’m so grateful to have such sweet, sweet memories of those family meals as a child with the Carlisle family and as an adult with my own family and new friends. Every once in a while I tie on one of my Dinner Bell aprons, leaf through my Dinner Bell Golden Anniversary Cookbook and tear up the kitchen so I can once again put a little South in my mouth.

Sitting around a big table with strangers all dipping out of the same plates as they are spun around on a big lazy susan is pretty odd to me. It’s like a buffet that comes to you. If the thought of other people having access to your food bothers you, this is not the place for you. The people at our table could not identify the grey substance that turned out to be what we believe was a peach cobbler. Most of the rest of the food was pretty standard and decent Southern fare, but not really worth the cost, once the strange experience is taken out of the equation. As for service, the staff seemed nice and the glasses stayed full, but it’s a buffet, so service is minimal. It is worth a trip, and worth going once, but I don’t think we will be back.

I was in town on Sarurday 06.03.2023 and chose this place based on a Google search. My first impression was quite an excellent one.

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.
