Was my first real job in 1970. The hamburgers were absolutely fantastic back then and have not changed at all in almost 50 years !!! Gotta have it with pickles and onions. That's all you need !!

This is a dirt cheap greasy spoon that's open for breakfast and lunch only (I don't understand why it's called The Dinner Bell). The menu is pretty limited (eggs, bacon, sausage, burgers, etc.) but reasonably priced. Burgers are about $2 each, but they're tiny so order at least 2. Sandwiches come with pickles and onions. Lettuce, tomato, and mayo cost extra.
Fries and onion rings are straight out of a bag from the freezer.
If you're in town and need a no-frills lunch for under $8 which is a step above fast food, this is the place to go. -

Casual cooking with loads of character inside the diner.
Homemade cream of wheat was delicious, they make slow cooked oats too. Toast grilled on the griddle, omelet made with three eggs, all prepared as we watched from the bar stools and were easily identified as non locals, place was filled by 8a with locals, just the was a diner should be. Waitress ran the whole show for most of the time and was very friendly. Nothing fancy, just good. -

Great small town diners are getting harder to find. This little gem is worth the stop. There are no surprises here, sit where there's an open table or seat at the counter, the menu is straight forward and the staff are friendly as can be. Our party had breakfast and everything we had was delicious and prices are cheap. If you don't see it in the menu I'm sure the staff can make it if they're able to. Definitely worth the stop if you're in the area.
Ask about the "Big Nasty" if you're looking for a big burger to fill you up, it's not on the menu. -

I came here during breakfast hours and I must say the food was good. I ordered two eggs and sausage with a side of cheesy home fries and grits. The meal was satisfying and reasonably priced. The lady who took my order was friendly and provided great service. They take credit cards for convenience and don't charge any additional fees for use.
