Mississippi Belle

Food is consistently delicious. Restaurant allows for larger groups. The family style meals give an opportunity to share the flavors!They only take cash!

This restaurant is cash only. They do have an ATM onsite. It's ideal for large groups since their meals are served family style. The meals are hearty and come with 4 side options and fresh tomatoes, sliced onions and 2 little fried corn bread patties. Since the Saturday special is fried pork chops, I gave them a try and was not disappointed. My other two sides were Mac' n Cheese and collard greens (which I got 'to go.' One pork chop was so filling, I had to get my second pork chop 'to go' as well. (Another entire meal.) Service was quick & efficient. My order was filled correctly (I didn't want the onions.)

No wait, we sat down right away. Loved the soft music playing in the background. Well lit, cozy vibe. Food was out in less than 15 minutes. The fact that dinner is bottomless should be criminal! We ordered fried chicken, meatloaf, and fried fish. This came with 4 sides: mashed potatoes and gravy, sweet potatoes, greens, and mac n cheese. Hot water cornbread, sliced tomatoes, and onions came on the side. We ate ourselves silly! Everything was cooked to perfection. So good, just like home. Can't wait to come back.

The food here is good. Very good. Down home and hits many of the notes you would expect for 'good' soul food. But not perfect. Not exactly like Grandma's. I ordered the fried chicken white had 2 3 piece servings; collard greens; macaroni and cheese; fried cabbage; baked beans; sweet tea. Ordered a slice of lemon cake.The best parts:Meal includes a drinkMeal is all you can eat with 4 sidesAlso they have southern desserts! Chess pie sweet potato pieThe service was greatPlace was clean and the other diners were quiet and minded their business.The could be better parts:It is cash onlyNeed to offer pepper sauce for the greens and cabbageThe food is seasoned but could be seasoned differently. To make the food for everyone it seemed like it is under seasoned. I need some paprika or Mrs Dash or something. But as is better than 90% of the so called soul food I have had all over the country.Sweet tea was sweet but they should have used simple sugar syrup.The baked beans tasted like they relied on a ketchup base and not bbq sauce- I didn't care for it.The Lemon cake was moist but more yellow than lemony. Should be lemony.

Stopped in with my best friend for lunch before going down the street to look at cars. First CASH Only so plan ahead. We walked in and was greeted immediately, ask if take out or eat in. We sat down and was ask about drink as soon as we sat down. Drinks came then ordered food which came out super quick. Pretty sure the food was made ahead, but it doesn't matter because it tasted wonderful. I mean seriously I bet this place is packed during main meal times. This is basically a bunch of tables and chairs. I will gladly come back here again, I am hoping for Friday's because they have catfish nuggets. And I hope to try dessert next time as well.

This was a fun family-style meal with true southern cooking! The prices are a little higher than I initially expected given the casual environment, but it is all you can eat and includes a soda, tea, or lemonade. The table picks 4 sides together and they are served family style in large dishes with the individual meat choices. Personally, I would have preferred the option to stick with individual plates as we didn't take advantage of the all you can eat benefit. I would say the best part was the meat - the ribs were truly falling off the bone! The sides didn't stand out to me, but we had a decent experience overall.

This is one of my favorite Soulfood spots to go to the staff is very friendly. The ambience is really nice and spacious inside. The food is definitely amazing. I cannot wait to go here again.

Tonight I FINALLY was in the right place at the right time with a nose that could actually smell and a tongue that could taste again. I guess BOTH wanted to make up for #lost good eats because the idea of soul food for dinner would not leave my mind. I'd heard that Mississippi Belle (near Broad Ripple) was one of Indianapolis's hidden gems, but the exterior of the restaurant does little to draw hungry patrons in. And that's the reason for over 25 years I've just driven right on past, instead of feeding my curiosity. Look what happened this evening when I finally walked through the front door! Sure, I might have wanted to taste ALL THE THINGS and requested something that you won't #find on the menu, but I'm telling you! WHATEVER you get at Mississippi Bell will NOT disappoint! #Getlostindiana

Newly remodeled after a fire in 2019, the Belle is back!! The interior got a nice transformation & the food is just as delicious as ever. Dinner here with loved ones feels like coming home. Don't forget to bring cash, though they do now have an ATM in case you forget.

Stopped in to check out this soul food place as it was recommended by a coworker and it was great! We truly enjoyed the Fried Fish, Ribs( so tender they truly do fall off the bone) and you don't even need any sauce ( I didn't care for the bbq sauce provided), the smothered chicken was great as well and very tender. We enjoyed the corn casserole very delicious and tasty, the greens were great, didn't care for the cabbage of Mac and cheese but the sweet potato was decent.The service was great and quick and we truly enjoyed the young lady that waited on our table. The restaurant was very clean and roomy. Support this business it's definitely worth it!
