Faith was a fantastic server, so polite with a gentle welcoming personality. The food was great and at a very reasonable price. The dining room was very clean with nice relaxing music playing in the background that allowed easy conversation without having to talk too loud or strain to hear what was being said. The restrooms were clean and inviting. Be advised Mississippi Belle only accepts cash however there is a bank machine in the hallway near one of the restrooms. Mississippi Belle is a hidden gem!

Listen, if you don't come here to eat, just don't eat at all. This place serves you family style meals. That means you get a certain number of meats and sides per table, and it keeps coming as long as you ask for refills. However, once you ask for a refill on 1 item, you can not get anything to-go. That's fine because you'll have to crawl out. Walking out isn't an option because you're so stuffed. The service is good. I'm not sure you have a typical waitress, but people are constantly walking around checking on you asking if you need anything. You won't go without. I would love to say I had a favorite food, but everything I ate was amazing, tasty, full of flavor, and mouth-watering delicious! You can order all the things, sample everything, and you will be immensely happy! Let me finish by saying that I'm originally from Mississippi, currently an Ohio transplant. If this place was in Ohio, I'd never be homesick. Don't walk, don't run, but speed race to this restaurant. It's in a plaza, small in size, but will leave you fully satisfied.

We moved out this way almost 2 years ago and haven’t really found any good food until TODAY‼ If you have not been to Mississippi Belle Soul Food Restaurant…… RUN This restaurant is very clean and has some absolutely delicious food. Jesus has great customer service when we walked in the door he was extremely polite. Our hostess Kisha did a very good job and made sure we were satisfied with our food. She made some great recommendations on what we should order since it was our first visit. Everything we ordered was banging and the Sweet Potato Pie & Salted Carmel Cake was the bomb dot com. I highly recommend this spot if you are looking for some good soul food. It’s hard to compare Chicago food with Indianapolis food but Mississippi Belle is a HIT‼ #friedchicken #smotheredchicken #sweetpotatoes #friedcorncasserloe #Greens #cabbage #ribs #mashedpotatoes #sweetpotatopie #saltedcaramelcake

Hadn't been here in a few years. Stopped in on a Sunday. Atmosphere was nice. No waiting. Waitress was very nice. We placed our order after being picky. We had the all you can eat with Roast beef, smothered chicken, Greens, Mac & Cheese, Sweet potatoes, Mashed potatoes, Cornbread. All of the food was very good. The only complaint I could have is the food wasn't Hot. It was lukewarm at best. Will eat here again!

I must say I had a birthday luncheon at Mississippi Belle. There were 12 who attended. All 11 of my guests and myself enjoyed the meals. I am 56 years old and this is the very first time that I went with a group this large and 100% with satisfied with not only the service in the atmosphere but the food too. Great job Mississippi Bell keep up the good work I'll see you soon. Kym
