There are tons of restaurants in Mississippi that specialize in Southern cuisine. However, the number of restaurants that serve said food via rotating round tables is far and few between. They do exist, though, and The Dinner Bell is one of them. Take a look:
There’s no better place to get your fix of Southern comfort food than The Dinner Bell in McComb!
At one time, the state was actually home to several round-table restaurants. In fact, the round-table concept is said to have started in Mendenhall at the Round Tables Restaurant.
Aside from one move, several changes in ownership, and a two-year closure, The Dinner Bell has remained virtually unchanged throughout the decades it’s been open.
Fried chicken, sweet potato casserole, and chicken and dumplings are menu staples. The eatery’s signature fried eggplant is also a menu mainstay (and a customer favorite).
Other classics, such as pork chops, meatloaf, and BBQ ribs, are rotated throughout the week. An ever-changing roster of fresh seasonal veggies and homemade desserts are part of the tasty fare, too.
