Very kind staff, clean space, and a wide variety of delicious comfort foods. Highly recommend this homey spot that has retained a lot of its 1950s charm. Their beef tips are incredible.

No, you guys...no! You guys be lying to yourself if you say this food is good. Come on now child. I bought 3 plates (#1- meatloaf, mash potatoes, arancini #2-roast beef, mash potatoes, Mac and cheese #3- beef enchiladas, Mexican rice, and beans) and 2 pies (lemon meringue and raspberry cheesecake). Total was $51.47. All I can say is..where is the salt?! Seasonings?! Love?! I regretted going in the moment I walked in, but I ordered anyways. The meatloaf was probably the best out of the 3 plates, and even that wasn't good. The roast beef was not good. Let me tell you, you can get a cheap cut of meat and still make it taste good. But this cut was cheap and not prepared correctly. It was a sad sad lunch. I got side eyes the whole time at lunch because I chose the lunch spot. The pies were good. Out of the lemon meringue and cheesecake, I preferred the lemon meringue. I would be surprised if they made the pies in house, because if they do, great for them. They should just be a bakery. Regardless, I will never..NEVER return. I'm sorry to whoever's mamas or grandmamas in the kitchen, but they need to retire. I said what I said.

My father brought me here in the 1970's. Still feels the same. Food is really good, good price. Decor could use an upgrade. But, overall a very decent lunch stop.

I was very impressed with this cafeteria. Growing up we used to eat at Wyatt's Cafeteria on Griggs Rd but they shut down decades ago. Dinnner Bell gave me that feel. It was very cozy, customer service was exceptional, and the food was good. I tried the chicken fried chicken, with mashed potatoes, and cabbage. I had cornbread and a slice of sweet potato pie. The spinach lemonade was so good too! I will definitely be back. The reviews don't lie. It's a little hidden gem. I hope they continue to stick around. We need more home cooked restaurants like this.
