The sides (baked beans and collard greens) tasted like they were out of a can with no seasoning added. Wow. Just bad. I should have known to leave when there was only one table clean and no patrons in the restaurant. When I asked the young lady at the register what her favorite dish was, she stated that she doesn't eat here. That was clue #2. My mistake. Believe me, it will not happen again.

The BBQ is delicious. A little concerning due to location but don't worry. It's great!read more

BBQ is a beautiful American tradition and Stateline is a remarkable representation of all the best things about it. The small space is nicely appointed, tastefully, but also unquestionably like a BBQ joint. What does that mean...hard to know, but at the same time, it's nearly always easy to tell when you are inside a BBQ joint vs any other restaurant. The ribs are delicate and fall off the rack, with an intense Smokey flavor. The wings are their signature dish and also rather incredible. People are nice and there isn't much more one can ask for. It's an incredibly solid place for a very enjoyable piece of this all American tradition.

However, my son says that this is the place where ribs are not pork but BBQ. This BBQ family is on point. My daughter and her classmate/best girlfriend were going to a Beyoncé concert in ATL last summer; we are from Nashville. They got chicken sandwiches to eat in and two to go. I got a thank you text after the concert saying, "Thanks for looking out with the two extra sandwiches to go." Last but not least, as a baker, the pound cake is very good. You will not be disappointed.

The restaurant it self is unassuming and very casual. You will feel right at home here in shorts and flip flops. The food is the real gym. We had the grouper, and it tasted like it came off the boat that morning. Great flavor, tender and flaky, just like it should be. The season was on point, flavorful but not overpowering. I added the fried ahumó and glad I did. They were perfect. My wife added the crab cake, and that was excellent as well. Plenty of crab meat and not too much stuffing. If you are looking for fresh, authentic gulf seafood, this is the place to go. I can't wait for my mom to come to town from Nashville this will be a must eat for her.

Bottom line: going back to "The Ark" very dissatisfied with flavorless food and slow kitchen!!My…read moreson and I were told about this restaurant which is close to CMP Talledega Marksmanship Park. We have in past gone to "The Ark" A bit smaller, less emphasis on alcohol but excellent. We came fish market on way out of town since near Marksmanship park for "D Day" Rifle matches. Unfortunately, bottom line is the food was "OK" but IMHO we both agreed the food and service was much better at "The Ark" ; our meals tonight were bland and kitchen slow. Took almost 40 minutes to get our meal. My son's "chicken sandwich " was two chicken tenders. My 2 whole catfish dinner 1 side (green beans) was fresh hot but not much flavor. Service was good. The menu is very extensive with steaks etc . But menu was overwhelming too. While this may be popular with locals, we prefer "The Ark" smaller yet just as busy, better tasting food and more desirable sides and food came up much quicker. Don't expect to return as we agree "The Ark" is hands down tastier food.
