Pepper grinder rating: 0.

Men’s room rating: 3.5. (Clean, with some nice touches. Lawrence particularly liked the “Please wait. Your hostess will seat you.” sign.)

Dwight’s comments:

It was one of those weeks, when we wanted to go somewhere and know exactly what we were getting, and how much of it we’d get. “Comfort food”, for want of a better description.

Catfish Parlor does a reasonable job of this, with good service and all-you-can-eat specials (Catfish all the time, popcorn shrimp Monday and Tuesday nights.). They have the sort of style I usually don’t like (fake homestyle, complete with decoration by the BMTCRSC, but it works for them: I think because they don’t take it too seriously.

It’s not fine dining by any standard (and I’m not really a big fan of catfish as a food), but if you want to go someplace predictable (and like a good loose child policy: “Unattended children will be seized and sold to the gypsies.”), or pick up dinner for the family on the way home, Catfish Parlor is worth a try.
