Visiting Alabama for the weekend with a group of friends. We all had the taste for seafood. The…read morerestaurant is located just off the highway in a gravel parking lot with lots of advertising signs lining the exterior of the building. Thanks for the GPS or we would have passed it. Inside is one open area with basic wooden tables and chairs. We were seated right away. Waitress said it was exceptionally slow evening. Service was excellent as she was attentive ensuring we were ok. Their menu had a nice variety for everyone more than what's posted on Yelp. Sorry, I didn't take an updated picture of it. Gulf Shrimp looked and tasted like regular shrimps from the grocery store. Nothing spectacular. Baked potato was good. Surprised they gave artificial whipped butter tho instead of real butter. Hush puppies were ok. One commented Mac n cheese wasn't that great but everything else was. Another commented the pasta was very flavorful but a bit watery and noodles overcooked. We didn't have any adult beverages so can't comment on it. Younger one had an ice cream sundae and said it was very good. Price was reasonable as well. We'll consider going back when in the area again. Recommend trying especially the catfish.

Ambience was family style and welcoming. Everyone was friendly. Fish was good, fried as request, you know ya girl likes her fish fried hard. We also ordered shrimp and grits, my guy said they were good and rich, he's from Louisiana he has standards lol. Almost forgot the gator bites.. I had pictures so I remembered lol. Delicious. Seasoned and fried perfectly. Not to hard, not too soft, perfect. We'd definitely circle the block if we found ourselves in the area again

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.

Never got crackers. Inside is basic kinda dark. Arrived about 5:50pm looked over menu and ordered by 6pm, got food about 6:45pm. We were a party of 2 adults and a child. These is not a please to eat if you have kids due to long wait time, and to be honest I almost order food to be door dash here so we could eat before our food got cooked here.

I'm longing to return to the restaurant, best service, prime ribs are put of this world, great…read moreservice, plenty of parking spaces.

Walked in expecting at least a smile from people working…read more Not a smile was given. Almost felt like we were a burden for just walking in. The place was freezing cold. Ordered Mahi MahI then the server came back and said they were out. I said I would take the Tilapia instead so she said do you want the steam rice and broccoli that came with the Mahi Mahi. Since it took awhile for a server to take our order in the first place and I no longer had a menu so no idea of what other choices I had, to make it easy, I said yes. They charged me extra for the broccoli. It might have been a good idea to let me know that before suggesting it. My husband had the Lasagna. It was just ok as well. Service all the way around was somewhat slow. Food was not worth the price paid. Definitely won't be back.

Once we got it, the temps of some items were lukewarm. A couple of our guests ordered the pot roast special and complained about the really small portion of roast received in comparison to the vegetables. It was brought to our servers' attention, but she just stated that's all that came with the special. I ordered the Fried Liver which was adequate. The fried okra and broccoli casserole was lukewarm. Overall, the food was subpar. As far as the the restaraunt, it is older and outdated. Expect no thrills and although it's a "steakhouse", I wouldn't trust eating a steak here.

But it had lobster in it. The presentation was amazing and the sushi tasted pretty good! Now - my only issue tonight was with the server. I do not know his name because he never introduced himself. I saw him three times. 1. When I ordered a drink, 2. When I ordered food, and 3. I had to ask the sushi chef to please provide me with chopsticks and a container to pour soy sauce in. The server failed to provide those to me; heck, He came to check on me once throughout my visit and I was there for about 45 minutes. I couldn't even order another beer since he never came over to check on me again. It was so bad that I had to ask another server, a lady, to please tell him to bring my check so I could pay and leave. Needless to say, the food is great, the service by this guy was awful. If I'm back in here again I'll make sure not to have him as a server if he still works at the restaurant. On a side note: I wish the sushi chef could speak English because he was extremely nice!
