    As other reviewers have noted this is a smorgasbord featuring home cooked victuals and accoutrements.

    Perhaps the only piece of information lacking in the other reviews is a word of caution to pace yourself and not to over do it.

    In terms of specifics, had the catfish which was amazingly good. Sides that I had that I especially enjoyed were the collard greens, sweet potato casserole and stuffing.

    There were cherry and peach cobbler for dessert as well as banana pudding.

    Food was fantastic. We went to a place last night that had the word "Catfish" in the name and I left thinking it was very good...until tonight. The catfish here...now that was good! Fried chicken with a little hot sauce...Mmm. Salad bar was fresh and offered quite a few items. The meal items consisted of Fried Chicken, pan fried Pork Chops and Southern Style fried Catfish. Side items were mashed potatoes, chicken gravy, Mac and cheese, southern style green beans with ham, carrots, collard greens and baked apples. Oh, don't let me forget about the banana pudding made with vanilla wafers (like mom), apple and cherry cobbler.
    Originally, I was going to give it a 4  because the bathroom definitely has lackluster, but after I thought about how stuffed I was after, I decided on 5 Star . After all, I wasn't there to go pee, I was there to get my grub on.

    This is the best place in Marshall county for good southern cooking.  25 dollars for 2 people and ice tea and the quality of the chicken and fish alone (besides the specialty - Thurs - dumplings, Fri - steak somethin, Sat - pork chops, Sun - thanksgiving dinner every Sunday - plus the catfish/chicken) is worth the amount you can eat - and none of its mediocre.

       Every night is great no matter the special because they have fried catfish, fried chicken, French fries, green beans with ham, white beans with hammock pieces, Salad bar, desserts and everything else.  

                                                                      Service is great

          Never liked cherry pie/cobbler and used to get apple cobbler until they were out of apple - let me tell you I don't get the apple anymore, the crust is rolled over/doubled  near the corners and has butter sugar sprinkled on top of 9 x 13 aluminum pan.  I take corners, watch out!
     
         If you want the Guarantee of good people and food then get rung up at the Dinner Bell - momma couldn't cook it any better than this family team - and I don't know any of them except they have had an outstanding restaurant for the last 6 years since I have moved here.  

         We eat in Murray at jasmine and spend 48 dollars almost everytime - you can't get momma's cooking anywhere for 25 dollars for 2 people, tea, and all you can eat fresh salad bar, cobbler, EAT EVERYTHING U TAKE

    BRING CASH - NO CHECKS OR CARDS!!!!!!!!!!

    4pm - 8pm Th, Fri, Sat, Sunday 2nd week March-October - me thinkest

    When I first drove up to this small place I was'nt  sure if it was going to be any good.
    I was really surprised and delighted with the food. We were there on a Sunday for the cafeteria style dinner. All you can eat for 12.95!!!  There is a salad bar plus a great variety of home cooked items. It's the real deal. I'm coming back next chance I get.
