My husband randomly decided to stop by and pick up some sides for our dinner. I can be skeptical when it comes to soul food places because I am particular about my soul food. The food here reminded me of having dinner after church when it's been prepared by the elders of the church. It was so good! I plan on going back soon to try out some other other sides and their protein options. I have clearly been missing out!

I got the same meat as I did last time and the herb roasted chicken was very good. Chicken was not dry at all. My fiancé got the fried catfish and it was pretty good as well. I thought the breading was really good, but I would add a little salt to it if it was me. The only con that I have for this restaurant is that the person taking your order is so loud it is a little disturbing to eat inside.

I think the sauce, onions with the jalapeno, and potato bun really make it! I opt for tater tots but their fries and sweet potato fries are great, too. The bathrooms are spotless clean and they have hooks for handbags and the locks work easily. It's amazing how the little things really make a big difference. Music was upbeat at lunch. There's sports on every TV. On occasion, like a major event like the Super Bowl, they will play the sound of the TV through the speakers. I love the indoor and outdoor space and how it all flows together. It's a great place for groups or show up alone or meetup for a casual meeting or lunch date.

Worth it if you're in the area and want standard food items but not worth a special trip.

My sister and I decided to tryout The Ark restaurant in Springville for lunch today and we were not…read moredisappointed. My sister ordered the lunch portion of fried shrimp and I chose the catfish nuggets, fries and okra (I think the fried okra was the real thing - not some name brand that's purchased in the frozen food section of a grocery store). We enjoyed our food very much, and neither one of us was able to eat all of the food on our plates, which was only the lunch portion; so, I can't imagine how much food you're given for dinner/supper. The service was great and our Waitress was very attentive and friendly. The restaurant is a good size with plenty of free parking, and I'm pleased to say that the ambiance is pleasant and relaxing. I feel certain that we will dine at the Springville restaurant again, because in addition to having a nice lunch we also walked to the Springville Antique Mall also located on US - 11 (actually the main street in Springville) where we experienced several magical nostalgic memories. I really hope you make plans to treat yourself to an enjoyable afternoon in Springville soon.

We went on a Tuesday evening and bottles of wine were $10 off. They also have trivia on Tuesdays!!! We ordered the brussels sprouts and meatballs to start, along with a delicious New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Shoutout to my kiwi cousins. The brussels sprouts had a distinct pickle flavor to them, and a deliciously spicy aioli situation on top. Great starters. The meatballs were simple, yet scrumptious. Ideally moist, good red sauce, great flavor. I am in no way Italian so my options on red sauce are moot. Seemed good to me, though. We ended off with the pepperoni pizza, which had the CUPPED ronis. If they're not cupping, I'm not calling. Great pizza, crust not too thin or thick, good flavor. Service is a bit slower on the patio than the rest of the restaurant, I'm guessing. We're harder to see. That being said, if you're on the patio (how many times can I say patio?), you're there to be leisurely. Service went at the exact pace I wanted it to. There is also seating indoors, and on a covered porch, for those patio averse.

High ceilings and exposed brick are a few of the ways to my heart. If you've seen a post about this place, you've probably seen a picture of the crackly round, artistic dish and wondered what it was. There are dumplings on the underside of it and you break each one off of the crackly part to enjoy. We did enjoy these but I would've loved a soy sauce to dip them in. They came with chili crunch, peanuts, and green onions but I wanted an actual sauce. They were very standard tasting dumplings and there was nothing extraordinary about them unfortunately. As always, we'd looked at the menu beforehand and decided what we wanted. It does state on their website that their menus can change due to freshness and availability. But we'd both decided on an app and entree we wanted only to get there and have none of them on the menu. I do appreciate a rotating menu to accommodate local items, but I would also love for those to be updated on a regular basis. So after rerouting, we decided on the chicken skewers as another app with the dumplings. These were chargrilled, flavorful, and had a nice crust on them. I got shrimp fried rice and Julia got spicy beef noodles. It was fine but I wish the shrimp wouldn't have been cut up. It felt like they chopped them up in order to not put as many in the dish. At $25 for this, I'd like whole shrimp please. There were a few pieces of raw spinach with pepper on the top. I would've loved a sauce of some kind. I would've preferred shrimp hibachi with fried rice from a Japanese place that included vegetables and sauces. This was not *bad* there was just SO much room for improvement. We both agreed that nothing was awful, but for these prices and the hype, we expected more. Our waitress was super friendly. Bonus points because they had match boxes at the host stand! There was a paid parking lot diagonal from the restaurant, so we had to walk through an intersection to get there. There are some spots up front if you can snag one. Overall, we enjoyed our time here but won't be sprinting back.
