Liam and I had to take our Basset Hound, Molly, to get some shots before we go on spring break. Since the vet is in Salem, I usually take advantage of the opportunity to stop at the Dinner Bell.
I had driven past the Dinner Bell for years before deciding to 🛑 stop. I lovingly refer to this place as a “Dive” and it is totally worth a visit.
The faded Coca Cola sign, red and white tin awning, and the rusty “Short Orders” sign just add to the character for me.
The burgers 🍔 are a bit larger than a White Castle burger so you may need more than one.
I go for the the double cheese burger with 🥓 bacon.
The Dinner Bell is located at 305 South Main Street in Salem, Indiana and is open from 5:00a.m. To 2:00 p. m. Except Sunday when they close at 1:00.
I haven’t ordered breakfast yet, but the guy next to me today had a full order of biscuits and gravy and the cook laid an omelette right on top of it. The lady said it didn’t have a specific name but that he gets his like that all the time. I look forward to trying it some time soon.
