The food looks like it is prepared for senior citizens that's have to have a soft food diet, Looks flavorless and not very appetizing at all. I would venture to say I'd probably not visit that place to eat if everything was no charge. read more

One of those places where the reviews had my mouth a'waterin' before I even walked in. The decor is wonderful. Run out of room on them walls, put stuff on the ceiling! Very cute and interesting. The food? Okay. Not above and beyond, any of it. Hubby had a BBQ pork sandwich which was good. He ordered the slaw, and when I heard it was vinegar, not mayo based, I was excited. But they put too much sugar in it for my taste. Overpowered the vinegar. I had a salmon patty that was nothing to write home about. I ordered the Amish salad for my side, which was so sweet, I felt like I'd ordered a dessert. I was definitely not as impressed as I thought I would be. read more

Dinner Bell Too - LUNCH!!! - New American Near Me - Anna, Illinois

Really enjoyed breakfast at Dinner Bell. It looks to be in a converted house, so pretty small seating but covered floor to ceiling in nostalgia. Family of 5 really enjoyed our breakfast, Haystacks are huge, Pancakes were a hit, and I really liked the country ham. Most of the patrons were eating lunch, it looked like a reason to come back and check it out again. The only negative was it could have been a little cleaner inside but otherwise a great experience. read more

we usually go there for breakfast. simple, inexpensive and friendly. I suggest IF you never been there, go there. it is just grand! and the prices are good as is the food. read more

Just not a fan. Food was bland and not cooked well... the restaurant was messy and felt sticky... only been once so could've been the day ‍

Great place! More personality than I have ever experienced. Don't judge a book by its cover. Food was so, so good. Great service as well. Try the biscuits and gravy. Some of the best you will ever have! read more

Driving through from Memphis and saw this place. Now this is how a burger should be. Awesome cheese burger and staff was very nice! Will be back next time!! read more

Small restaurant if you don't pay attention you will drive passed it. The parking is in the back, entrance as well. We came on a Sunday and it closes at 2PM. The waitress was friendly. Large choice on Menu and a family style if you wish all you can eat. We ordered from the menu burger and Philly cheese steak. The food was fresh and hot. Service was fast. We arrived just after the big rush on a Sunday 1PM. I had finished eating by 1:30PM Philly Steak , 1/3lb burger. Onion rings, fries and two drinks. $21.00 Oh and banjo music playing. Worth the stop if you can. read more

Dinner Bell Too - Inside - New American Near Me - Anna, Illinois

Love this place! Wish they had been open for dinner on the Thursday we went back to Anna. We were on a mini vacation to the area and looking for mom-pop type places to eat. Interesting wall decorations, and lots of history of the restaurant. Very friendly wait staff, felt very comfortable and the breakfast food was great and very reasonable. Check their hours as it appears they cut back evening dining service. Also, looks more like a home than a restaurant, smaller dining area but worth the stay. If you do find them open for dinner, skip The Brick House and go here instead. read more

Doesnt look like much from the outside... kind of just looks like a house. Don't let that fool you! The service is great and the servers are really welcoming. We were in town for the eclipse and didn't know where to go. They had a big sign outside welcoming "city folks" that I thought was a great idea. We totally would have kept going and missed out. Breakfast was fast, cheap, and delicious. Actually felt like I was eating at a friend's house. It consists of the normal fare.. nothing over the top, but just down home goodness. One of the workers talked with us for some time. Everyone was really friendly. Give this place a try. read more

Excellent food and pleasant staff. I love the way that the restaurant is decorated with old time memorabilia. Our family tried the breakfast and we loved it. There are lots of different things to choose from including country ham, fried taters, eggs, bacon, omletts, and much more to choose from. We look forward to trying the other down home items on the menu on our next visit . One more comment, the restrooms are sparkling clean and anyone is welcome to use them. #rootbeerstation. Keep up the good work Dinner Bell Too read more

Great comfort food, it took me back to when I was a kid and my mom and my aunt would make Sunday dinner for a huge family.We had the family style chicken dinner which included amazing fried chicken, chicken and dumplings like I haven't tasted since I was a kid, and their was plenty of chicken in the bowl, corn, probably the best cole slaw around ( except for mine ), green beans/bacon, mashed potatoes, and sweet tea that was perfect, not to sweet, and ice cold. I can't wait to go back and take my boys so they can try the amazing comfort food that serve there. P.s. The service and atmosphere makes you feel at home and the prices are low enough to make it affordable for a big family to enjoy this place. read more

Just passing through headed to the wine trail and found this gem. It doesn't look like much and it's easy to miss but the food was great. It was lunch time so we had sandwiches. We had Philly cheesesteak and a cheese burger. Both were fresh and served just right! The special was all you can eat fried chicken and dumplings with all the fixings. The table beside us order it and it looked awesome! Too much before the wine trail though read more

We like to try non-chain restaurants when traveling, and tried this place because of the good reviews. We were not disappointed. My husband had the Philly steak sandwich, which was loaded. He said it was very good. I ordered the club sandwich, and it was very good. Loaded with lots of meat and very tasty. The staff was very attentive and friendly. The place is small and has very interesting decor. We plan to stop in again when we are around Anna again. read more

I was passing through and stopped here based on reviews. The food was fine, but not as good as I was hoping for. My omelette was dry and had a slice of cheese melted on top rather than mixed in with the other ingredients. Waitress was friendly. read more

My toast was delicious! Bacon was good too! Boyfriend said his ruban was pretty darn good.

So glad we gave this place a try! Fried green tomatoes were good. Prime rib sandwich and Big Bell sandwich (prime rib, ham, jalapeño, and cheese) were fantastic. Even the crinkle cut fries were perfect. Waitress was friendly. Restroom was nice. I can't see how you can do any better than that in Anna. read more
