The Ark is a seafood restaurant located near Highland Lake, built out of a converted river barge, offering a unique "off the grid" vibe. Customers have praised the fried shrimp, calling it some of the best they've ever had. The catfish is a popular choice, described as a generous portion of flaky fish with lightly battered and fried to perfection, with some noting it could use more seasoning. The restaurant provides a variety of sides such as onion rings, corn bites, mashed potatoes, and baked beans. The onion rings are especially praised for being fried perfectly with good seasoning on the batter, and the chicken fingers are crunchy and cooked just right. The ranch dressing is a favorite among diners. The menu also includes blackened shrimp, which are seasoned well. The cheese curds are a standout appetizer, and the chocolate pie, served in a plastic carry-out container, is highly rated, even though some mention the food may not always seem freshly made. Customers appreciate the friendly and clean environment, and the prices are considered reasonable. Overall, The Ark is seen as a great place for a casual meal, perfect for a detour or family outing. It is recommended to try the shrimp and cheese curds, and those ordering catfish should note that a filet is a large piece of fish, nuggets are the filet cut into small pieces, and strips are the filet cut into three pieces.
