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.

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 As far as the the restaraunt, it is older and outdated.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.

We were greeted by the hostess and allowed to choose where we wanted to sit. They have table and booth seating available. Our server was really prompt and friendly. For starters, I ordered gumbo. It was horrible; look at the picture and draw your own conclusion. I do NOT recommend the gumbo!!! Save your $6.99.... THANKFULLY, everything else was yummy!!!!! My mom had the popcorn shrimp platter and I had the catfish filet platter( fried hard). The platter comes with 2 sides + hushpuppies. See pics We couldn't eat all our food so we had to get to go boxes. We also ordered lemon pie but since they were out, we got the key lime pie instead. Reallly tasty slice of pie heaven! The Ark is located off Main Street in Springville, Al. They have parking on both sides of the building. Overall, this was a solid visit. Good food, good service in a comfortable atmosphere with TVs and nice music playing. I plan to return soon!
