Decent food, Great atmosphere, friendly service

I come to Parachute Inn every single time I'm in town visiting my grandparents.  We're always there right when it opens on Saturday, yet the place is almost always already half full.  I've never looked at the menu so I'm not sure what else they offer besides the catfish and seafood buffet.  But the catfish buffet is pretty great.  It comes out hot and fast and there's always plenty of it.  It also includes french fries, hush puppies, a salad bar, and a dessert bar with usually about four different types of desserts.

For a slightly higher price, you can opt for the seafood buffet which includes the catfish plus shrimp, crawdads(?), and maybe some other stuff which I can't identify.  I've never had any of that.

It's seat yourself, not the cleanest place around, but you can also dine in a carved out plane that is attached to the main dining room.  It's pretty cool and still has the cockpit.
