I had 1/2 lbs. of shrimp that came with potatoes, sausage, boiled eggs, and corn. The star of the show, however, was the sauce! At one point, I actually grabbed a spoon and just ate the sauce. Delicious food and the staff were super, super courteous and friendly!

They didn't have any seltzers, the Lemon Drop Martini they claimed was so loved was not good. It was wing night and I wasn't impressed. We were told they were out of oysters which I told my friend they were known for. I ordered a side of onion straws to go with my wings. Not only were they not good but they cost $6. The whole experience was a disappointment.

I grabbed a menu and ordered the Chicken fried chicken with fried okra to go. The server thought it would be a little wait but the food came out pretty quick. The chicken fried chicken was a nice size but I would have loved more rice. The meal comes with a salad but I decided on fried okra for an additional cost. I was disappointed in the portion size of the okra since I had to pay extra. Overall decent meal and will try again for dine-in.

We started with the poutine which was delicious I got the grilled buffalo chicken sandwich. My son got the loaded tots. Both of our dishes were good. I'll definitely keep this restaurant on rotation.

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.

The chicken fingers were horrible, they taste frozen and were similar to a child's chicken nugget. I would not recommend these!!! The wait staff are friendly and very helpful..

Was seated immediately by hostess…read more Waited about 5 - 10 minutes before approached by a server Jennifer who apologized profusely for my apparent lack of service! She proceeded to take my drink and food order. Just seconds later she delivered my beverage. And mere minutes later my tossed salad. The lettuce and other veggies were fresh and crispy, the croutons crunchy. Then I had barely finished my tasty salad when Jennifer arrived with my steak and smashed potatoes! Smashed potatoes were basically Idaho potato baked with skin on and "smashed" good taste. My Ribeye steak was cooked just as I requested. Nice amount of char on the meat! Steak was delicious and only a scant amount of sinew found near the edge. My server enticed me with the offer of Banana pudding and I surrendered. The pudding came swiftly garnished with four or five vanilla wafers on top of whipped cream. Sadly actual bananas were non- existant only pudding. But it's ok. Overall I'm satisfied with the food and good service I received.

I just don't understand why they can't have 2 people working at that time of day. She was answering the phone taking orders and not taking care of the in person customers. If they're worried they can make money that way. If they thought about it they would make more. We were a party of 6. Which be would make $75 - $100. Not only did they lose our business to another local business, they lost more to the same local business. We ate together.
