Tenderloin Bruschetta - incredible
Dan B.

Enjoyed a really good dinner tonight. The service was really really good and it was nice and quiet for a conversation with business partners.

Matt's amazing "Nightshade" cocktail.
Travis J.

Matt is a great bartender, very friendly but not over bearing. I asked for his specialty cocktail, and he served me "the night shade". I forget what he said was in it but it was amazing!

Caesar

We went on a Friday evening. We were able to get a reservation pretty easily. The steaks were great and cooked perfectly. The house salad was different but very good. The dining room is a little dark but there are small candles on each table (almost had to pull out phone flashlight to see menu). The chocolate tower was excellent but the chocolate did melt quickly.

Popover
Robert G.

Came here dinner. Sat right down. Ordered a wedge salad , 22 oz Cowboy steak and a baked potato. Drinks ordered. Nice steak restaurant ambiance and good service. Nice wedge salad served with a pop over bread. Steak came and loaded with chili butter which I do not like any butter on a steak. Steak was 3 stars for $83. Tasted decent but missing the wow factor. Baked potatoe was good and came with all the toppings for $10. So overall a 4.

Best lobster bisque soup on Earth
Todd S.

We came to DiamondBack's on our 18th wedding anniversary for one purpose -- lobster bisque soup. Our hostess Lilo, of course, claimed that they have the GOAT of lobster bisque soups and she was right! One spoonful and I knew it was hands down going to be the best I've ever had. We got some specialty cocktails including the unique Lonestar Gimlet which apparently was invited by our server. We also got crab cakes which, while good, paled in comparison to the world-class soup. Just a wonderful evening. What a fun place too! The light fixture at the entrance was its own work of art.

DiamondBack's in Waco is an excellent choice for a nice night out. Great steaks, flavorful sides, and a classy, comfortable atmosphere. Service was attentive and professional, and everything we ordered was cooked perfectly. A solid spot for date nights or special occasions.

Food was great as was the service. Overall very nice place for a quiet meal. It is upper end for price but worth it.

Ask the Community - DiamondBack's

Is their a corkage or BYOB policy?

We do not allow outside food and beverage. Thanks for checking in.

Are there any gluten-free options at Diamondback's? Looking for a nice restaurant in Waco but have 2 guests with celiac disease. Thank you!

Yes! Many of our fish options are gluten-free or can be made to be gluten-free. We like to recommend the shrimp cocktail, lobster escargot, or sushi. We can also substitute any of our bread options with gluten-free bread, as well as any pasta with… Read more

Are jeans and a button down shirt appropriate?

Yes. That is absolutely okay. As long as they are nice jeans. I wouldn’t feel good about ripped or torn jeans, but otherwise it’s absolutely appropriate. Enjoy!

The bar staff was very friendly without being annoying, and the beer selection was top notch, with something for any taste. The indoor/outdoor layout is fun and makes it feel like the restaurant spills out onto the sidewalk. I came back the next night for a breakfast burrito and was not disappointed. I paid 11 bucks for an enormous and delicious toasted burrito, filled with eggs, cheese, spicy sausage, and hot sauce. I'd have paid twice as much for half the food anywhere else. My buddy loved his enormous cheeseburger and the fries were bomb as well... crispy and well seasoned. I only had a couple nights in Waco, but if I had a third, I'd probably eat here again!

We stayed for about 40 minutes and then were told the kitchen was temporarily closed because it was so backed up and it was probably going to be 2 hours before we would get our food. We decided to go elsewhere but that we would come back when the have a chance to work out some of the kinks. Well today was that day. First off the vibe is good. Plenty TV's for gameday variety and a happy excited energy flowing through the place. We were seated right away and our waitress quickly brought our drinks and took our order. We got a Cowboy, a Chili the Kid, the three sliders, a kids chicken tenders, and some cheese fries. The Dogs and the sliders were all delicious. The tenders were a bit bland but they had a nice hint of heat and the breading was nice and crunchy. We wish they had a regular ranch instead of the miso ranch as an option. The cheese fries came out cold and it looked like they just put a Kraft Single on top and stuck it in the microwave. They were a bit underwhelming. Over all the prices felt a bit high... $11 for a hotdog seems steep and I felt like I could eat 2 of them.
