Given the great reviews & comments of the outstanding burgers at Mayslick, the Burger Guys & gals couldn’t wait to give this one a try at our Favorite Local Gem.    Would this be an opportunity for a letdown?  or A Big Surprise.

Nestled in Mayslick about 15 minutes or so from Maysville, Ky, the Dinner Bell is a pleasant neighborhood Diner located next to & Linked by a doorway to the Gas Station/Store next door. Unlike the older look of this building, Don't let that fool  you, this place has awesome food & service.
The menu offers many Home cooked Southern Country cooking options and sandwiches. Included with fries or the best Cole slaw around slaw, the $9.99 Traditional Burger is a huge piece of Beef served on a good tastingr bun with tomato, lettuce, mayonnaise, and onion!

This is 1 huge Burger! & it looks great

We always taste a piece of the meat 1st by tearing off 1 small bite, it was clearly, 

Fresh meat? Yes.    Hand made? Yes.   Made to order? Yes.   Toasted bun? Yes.   Juicy? Yes!

Toppings were fresh & tasty, the Fries excellent, Cole slaw is the best we've had anywhere.

We also think they have the best Fried Chicken Livers anywhere, also an huge taste Fried Chicken sandwich, great Meatloaf, everything we've had here has been overall great, top quality & friendly service every time, it's a bit of a small place so try to avoid the busy meal times, Prices are very good.

The Chef's are all excellent even when the Owner is not there doing the Cooking himself, everyone does a Fantastic Job, make sure to TIP WELL, they deserve it here.

Wednesday Nights are Senior Day & 10% off Seniors.

Bacon Cheeseburger Deluxe

1/3 pound all beef patty topped with your choice of cheese (American, Swiss,
 Provolone, or Pepperjack), crispy bacon, tomato, lettuce, mayo, pickle,
and onion served on a grilled bun
We stopped here in July 2022 during Cincinnati Burger week.

It's a nice place, clean & pretty good service.

The Burger was big, the toppings were all fresh & tasty.

I will make this one quick & easy, it's a big burger, looks awesome, but other than good tasting fresh toppings, forget it.

Overall it was an OK Burger, Definitely not top 10, probably not to 20, there are so many other excellent burgers in Cincinnati & Northern Kentucky, & the price at this time was expensive, but now currently the prices are out of this world & beyond Considering ever going back here again.

Would I recommend it, NO! Great Atmoshpere, always seems crowded, but I can find 25 other better & cheaper burgers around.

FINAL THOUGHTS: Get your great burgers somewhere else, this one is not worth your time for it.

Hamburber Deluxe: $5.00 Fries: $3.50

1/3 pound all beef patty topped with  (American), tomato, lettuce, mayo, pickle,
and onion served on a Sesame bun.


We went here on Friday 02/17 /2023 during at 1:30pm.  We thought it was enough after Lunch to avoid any rush, we were wrong, this place was packed, the Cook was also the Waiter but he did a wonderful job of handling it all.

It was a nice big burger, we always taste the meat by tearing a piece off and try it before we let any
of the toppings or burn or anything affect our thoughts on it, It was a very good piece of beef.

The toppings of lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, mayo & American cheese were all fresh & very good.

The Bun did not fall apart, always great, & it tasted good & fresh.

It was pretty big for price, my Wife got the Hamburger Deluxe, No Cheese & it was just as good without cheese, the Fries were as good or better than any we've had at any other restaurant.

The overall taste of the burger was very good & tasty, it definitely hit the spot & was exactly what we were looking for in a good Lunch to start our weekend.

Would I recommend it, if your in the area definitely stop in & try this little HIDDEN GEM out!

The Burger & Fries are well worth it & the Fish Sandwich we saw many ordering was big & looked great itself, so our next trip will be to try the larger Double burger & the Fish Sandwich & Onion rings.

FINAL THOUGHTS: This is a Pretty darn fine burger, is it top 10 on our list in the City?  NO.

But it's Definitely top 15 & probably very close to #12 or 11, not sure yet exactly where it will place on our list, but it's definitely one of the best in the City, better than ZIPS Cafe in Hyde Park which I've tried many times over the years & think it's overrated & Overhyped by it's many Locals that push all the reviews for the place very heavily, Zips is a plain good ole fashioned Burger, this one is Better.        

We ordered a side of their excellent fries & you get some good chips with it.                                             It's an old Bar/Cafe with several Tv's for sports, it has a handful of parking spots with Meters out front on Montgomery Road, but just go on down ridge, turn left at the 1st street then the 1st driveway on your left into their back parking lot for free & their is a back Entrance right into the place restrooms are right there on your right as you enter the back door, it's a small place so go on off hours if you want a good seat.

Bacon Cheeseburger

1/3 pound all beef patty topped with your choice of cheese (American, Swiss,
 Provolone, or Pepperjack), crispy bacon, tomato, lettuce, mayo, pickle,
and onion served on a grilled bun


We picked this one up at the Drive Thru on Monday 08/18/2020 during Cincinanti Burger Week.

It was a big burger, we always taste the meat by tearing a piece off and try it before we let any
of the toppings or burn or anything affect our thoughts on it, we got Provolone on one, pepperjack
on another one and Swiss on the 3rd, the Bacon was crispy and pretty good.

It tasted and looked like a Frozen Patty out of a box and it the meat itself was not that good,
I would rate the meat a 4 out of 10, if that, not a terrible Frozen patty from a box, but not
that good either.

Now what surprised us about it was the toppings and how it all mixed together.

Without the Meat on it, it was one of the better tasting burgers out of 8 we tried on the day.

It was our 3rd place we hit and we kept saying after going to Herb & Thelma's 1st, we would have
loved to have taken Herb's Burger and put it on this bun and toppings and you would have a real
winner here.

The Bun was good, the toppings fresh, but the mix of it all tasted very good, sorta had the taste of
Miracle Whip instead of Mayo, but not sure, it definitely needed lots of salt & pepper to help
the flavor of the meat to even have any.

I predict most will be tricked by the good mix of flavors of the toppings and bun and it will hide or
mask the not very good Frozen patty from a box Flavor.

But then again, it's a Chili Parlor, not a Burger joint, you get what you get.

Would I recommend it, if your in the area late and want a quick decent burger, yes, or a quick lunch.
But otherwise, get the Chili!

FINAL THOUGHTS: Get your great burgers somewhere else, this one is just for a quick fix or for Chili.
Or take it home toss out the meat and grill you a nice one on your own grill and you will have something.

I've been wanting to try this place out for many years now, but we just never had the opportunity.

 

And I'm sorry we did not get to under the old ownership.

 

But here is in with the new and out with the old.

 

It's a Bright Cheery place, lots of Neon signs and things to look at.

 

Parking is limited to the street out front and across the street,  we went about 4pm and it looked like we just avoided the Dinner rush, I would suggest going at an off rush hour time of day, or get take out as you won't get a seat without a long wait.

 

We wore our Masks of course as did all of the Staff, removed them at the table.

The Waiter was very nice, he asked if we had ever been there before and explained the menu to us and said call him when ready, as it's a very small inside, you can't seat very many people at all.

 

It has a nice bar also.

 

I ordered the Burger with 8.5 ounces of ground Angus chuck!

It had no official name just Burger, with a side of fries.

My Wife had the Filet Mignon Burger! A 1/2 lb. ground filet mignon. with a side of beer battered onion rings.

We ordered them with 2 slices of Swiss Cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, banana peppers and mayo.

They were huge burgers, for $10 and $12.50 they should be big.

The Buns looked & tasted like Brioche, they tasted very good.

The Toppings were fresh and extremely good.

My Angus beef burger was better tasting than her Filet Mignon, the Angus Burger was fantastic.

From the 1st bite we knew it was a top 10 burger on our list, big and juicy piece of beef, with lots of Flavor in it.

We could easily have split this one and enjoyed it, I ended up taking nearly half of it home.

The Onion Rings was excellent also as were the fries, try both.

FINAL THOUGHTS: We can definitely recommend this one anytime, but be very hungry and ready to eat.
