First time here. Hours are on the door in the first photo. If you go there, get there at least 30 minutes before they open as it does limited seating. Roughly, about 50 with picnic style tables. Great atmosphere. The food was fabulous. It is a buffet style restaurant where you go get your own items. They were constantly refilling drinks and were absolutely polite. They do have a salad bar.I had the Salisbury steak, green beans, mashed potatoes,sweet potato casserole, and white beans with ham. Salisbury steak was the tenderness I have ever had. White beans with ham, delicious, and tender ham pieces. Sweet potato casserole, spot on with flavor. I also had cherry cobbler, peach cobbler, and banana pudding. All were good. The price is VERY well worth it and reasonable. $15.95 for an adult, T

What a find! Don’t let appearances turn you away - yes, it’s a cafeteria-style buffet and you’ll probably be sharing a table with others, but the FOOD…wow! The catfish was incredible and my wife loved the fried chicken. There are also plenty of delicious sides to choose from and the salad bar is well-stocked with everything you need. And there are also several excellent dessert options, including banana pudding and a couple different cobblers. And all of this cost us less than $20 per person, including our drinks!! If you’re in the area and want a hearty, home-cooked meal, you have to try the Dinner Bell!

My husband and I came here for the 1st time without any idea what this place would even offer. The inside is set up with picnic tables and benches. It was busy on a Friday night but we were seated quickly. For $14.95 we enjoyed a full salad bar and numerous home cooked options and desserts. We tried the fried chicken, fish, cornbread, green beans, corn, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, pickled beets, cobbler, banana pudding, and the best hush puppies I've ever had! Iced tea arrived continuously and plates cleared without us noticing. They are open 4 days a week (Thursday-Sunday) with different menus each day. Sunday is turkey and stuffing. We'll definitely return. For the kind of place it was, I'd give it 5 stars.

Great out of the way find. Nice Food buffet, staff, are 1st rate. Only drag on the place is the bathroom is out side and not heated.
