Mayslick Dinner Bell

Another great visit!! This trip we ordered:Frog legs with green beans and scalloped potatoes2 piece dark chicken meal with French fries and greens Fried green tomatoes Our opinion:I was very excited about ordering the fried green tomato appetizer. I think this is the only thing I was disappointed by. The size of the tomatoes is large - but the breading is a flour breading instead of the traditional cornmeal breading. I thought it was too heavy and overpowered the flavor of the tomato itself. I probably wouldn't order these again unless a lighter cornmeal breading was an option. Please make that an option - because this tomato with a cornmeal breading and the fry dip sauce could be absolute heaven. Fried chicken: amazing, delicious, yummy - some of the best fried chicken everFrog legs: you get 3 sets of legs and they are good size. Fried to perfection and delicious. Sides:Scalloped potatoes - I wasn't crazy about this side. To me a scalloped potato is a thinly sliced potato with a creamy cheese sauce. I would call these cheesy potatoes instead of scalloped. They were larger chunks. Green beans - loved themGreens - a bit salty but goodFrench fries - the perfect French fry with the most amazing sauce ever

Down home atmosphere? Check.Friendly local crowd, staff and a boisterous chef? Check.Giant plate of homemade delicious food at low, low prices? Check and check!!I loved my platter of chicken livers w very sweet corn casserole and mashed. I still have 1/2 of it to take home. Hubby's chicken fingers were also fresh as can be. You will smell like fried everything afterwards, so don't plan a romantic evening. You also should not expect fast service on a busy Saturday night since it is a one room place. But if you leave hungry, it's your fault!

My wife and I make it a point to stop at the Mays Lick Dinner Bell whenever we are nearby. We always split a dinner, and always still manage to have food left to take home. The food is tremendous, the prices are reasonable, and the portions are huge.It is down home cooking at its finest.From the fish platter, which has catfish, bluegill, and grouper, to the fall-off-the-plate size ribs, you can't go wrong. The hardest part about eating here is that decide which amazing meal you're going to order. But no matter what you get, you'll always be glad you stopped by.

Always a great experience! Homemade everything, huge portions, amazing prices!If this was near a major city, reservations would be required. We've never been disappointed. We headed over after a quick trip to Maysville. We arrived about 15 minutes until close. I worried they'd be finished seating and wouldn't have minded if that had been the case. They welcomed us, seated and served us right away. We drive 45 minutes and this is a monthly staple. Especially Saturday steak night. It easily rivals the Ribber and I'd dare to say even Jeff Ruby!

OMG fabulous food, good old home cooked southern food.Excellent service! Passing thru on drive and discovered this hidden charm. Highly recommend

Never thought a diner at a gas station would be good but it was!! I ordered their grass-fed never frozen rib eye special with a huge loaded shredded chicken baked potato, cowboy beans and dinner roll. The boys ordered their fried cat fish. Their sign at the front door says "if you leave hungry, it's your own fault" and they weren't kidding! The portion was a lot! The steak was cooked to perfection and seasoned well and very tasty! I think it was a 14 oz steak and I finished it all! You can totally tell the cook have passion for cooking every dish as he was signing along with the music they played. The waitress and the rest of their staff was super friendly and very attentive. Will definitely come back here next time.

The food was amazing! If you love a greasy spoon this is your place. You will smell like grease at the end but your tummy will be so happy you won't care! The burgers are huge!

This place was probably the last place I expected to have great food, but man was I surprised. You pull up in front of super unassuming marathon gas station, but once you go into the restaurant you're met with an authentic atmosphere and the message "If you leave here hungry, it's your fault!". That message ended up to be truer than I had thought it could be. I ordered a bacon pepperjack cheeseburger with fries, and when I got it it didn't look like much, but the quality and taste was something else. It was a huge single-patty burger which was well seasoned and flavorful, and even came with onion rings on it. Any diner would be jealous of the quality of the food.The guy who cooks the stuff is also the owner, and he seems very passionate. I'm looking forward to the opening of another location, which I heard they're planning to do.TL;DR: Food good, would recommend you make a trip to go here even if it's far away.

The Service was Very Good! The food was excellent! A couple stand outs were the cowboy beans (maybe the best ever), the deep fried corn on the cob (a serious treat!), the catfish was excellent! That is a fair start! The food was Plenty! Small plperfect place for us! Nothing fancy, no dress code but awesome service and better food! Well worth the driving distance and would sure do it again!

My first visit and was looking forward to it due to reviews. It had a homey ambiance. The service was great and servers were friendly and attentive. My husband and I ordered the ribeye special. The shredder pork stuffed potato was very good and actually would make a meal by itself ( we took it home) . The ribeye was full of grizzle and my husband gave up it. However, I found the flavor combined with seasoned drawn better very delicious and chewed what I could and spit out the rest. The cowboy beans and the cabbage/ turnip greens were way too sweet! Could not eat them. I was very disappointed! I would go again and try something else if I could talk my husband into another go! We tipped well due to excellent service
