Excellent steakhouse in the spice Village shopping center. Outstanding customer service, great atmosphere, high-quality food, great drinks and a creative menu. We came here after 8 PM on a weeknight and they were open and gladly took our party of three. We ordered the New York strip and a petite fillet. We ordered a wedge salad with blue cheese, tuna, tower, and for our sides we had brussels sprouts and waffle fries, all of which was outstanding. Our waitress was Bridget and she was knowledgeable, friendly, and eager to help. She is fluent in sign language in the event that it's necessary. The weight staff are put through rigorous training and testing to ensure customer satisfaction. This is far and above what my expectations were for Steakhouse in Waco, Texas and this is a really outstanding place read more

Ambiance is loud, seems to be good for big groups. Food is texmex and is okay at best. Service was good.

Not our first time at Diamondback's but possibly the worst -- and maybe the last. It could be that the chef that night didn't know how to cook steak, of all things, because the New York Strip was bloody, indicating it had no time to rest, and unseasoned, indicating no salt or pepper was applied. The Caesar Salad was wimpy and also underseasoned. The off-menu Ribeye was too thin a piece for the exorbitant price -- not equaling what was shown beforehand -- and, as with every other item that night, relatively tasteless. And the sides of mushrooms and potato au gratin were disappointing as well. The mushrooms tasted as if they came out of can and the potatoes were overwhelmed by cheese. Service was adequate but when we were provided the restaurant's touted biscuits, they were tough and cold, as if they were made three days before, refrigerated, microwaved then served an hour later. Yes, they were that bad. And when the kitchen prepared fresh biscuits later in the meal, known because the table next to us was given a portion, our server neglected to offer us any. By the way, no complaints were given to the manager because we had to leave for another engagement and didn't have the time to complain. Also, we wanted readers to know how dismayed we were with this experience. read more

Wonderful dinner to celebrate a birthday. Diamond Backs never disappoints. Service was outstanding. Ike is excellent .

Today is my 61st birthday. I came with my son to have a wonderful dinner at the bar. I requested the sommelier to come over to recommend a nice bottle of wine to accompany our steak dinner. The bartender said he refused to come over because he only speaks to large parties. I was willing to spend $600 on wine and dinner tonight. I have traveled the world over and my wife and I have eaten at Michelin rated Restaurants. I have never had a sommelier refused to come to my table. Maybe because I had on a cowboy hat and jeans. I was willing to tip him well!Welcome to Texas! I paid for my drinks with no tip and left. Service was very marginal at the bar. The restaurant was virtually slow and so was the service. I lived in Waco 40 years ago going to college. It seems it has changed like the rest of the world. Service sucked! The bartender told me he was training another sommelier. Hopefully he did not teach the trainee this method of taking care of your client that pays your bills. Hopefully the new trainee will take his job.! The only bright side of the whole experience was the very charming hostess. I'm sorry I did not get her name. She was very pleasant. Choose another restaurant! read more

Excellent experience! Great ambience, fantastic food, but the staff....... Our waiter, Donald, provided us with excellent service not only regarding the food, but also with his polite demeanor. The reception team were very welcoming and friendly, allowing us to ask questions about the establishment and the history behind it. Also, the food and dessert was incredibly exquisite, making even the most picky eater in our party enjoy the delicacies. As a result, Diamond Backs has earned these five stars for a job well done! Great restaurant! read more

Our server Addie was wonderful! My husband and I orderoff the Featured Steaks that were Aged. My Bone-In Filet was excellent! My husband ordered the Ribeye. He described it as ' nothing special'. Our salads and side were really good. We each had a cocktail, and a bottle of wine with our meal. Are you ready for this? My husband glanced at the bill when we got home. We were actually charged for the two olives in my Martini. Never in our travels have we been charged for olives in a Martini. I guess there is a first for everything. read more

This place is amazing and the food was not bad. We had Ribeye Steak, perfectly cooked and the sides were great as well. The bread before meal was an added surprise. We had crab cakes as appetizer, great choice. Crowded but still had room for an intimate supper spot. Close to Magnolia and our hotel. read more

We were recommended this steakhouse while we were visiting Waco. It was an excellent experience. The food was amazing, the service (ask for Hayden) was the best table service we have ever had and the ambience was incredible. Cannot recommend this restaurant enough! read more

Saw this place was recommended for fine dining so we made a reservation for dinner. We came early but we're still seated immediately with Trish our server. She was amazing. So kind and attentive. I said she was a veteran server and we found out she was. We had such a wonderful evening and the food was so delicious! A must if you go to Waco! We had steaks and they were perfect and the lobster bisque was the best I've ever had. read more

Had a Texas size ' "Beef. It's what's for dinner." ' moment and needed a great steak. Reservations at DiamondBack. Without a doubt this was a five star experience. From ambience to food to service, it was all excellent. Lobster Bisque and House Salad for starters. Split a Bone-in Cowboy Rib Eye with Au Gratin Potatoes and Brussel Sprouts as sides. All delicious. But that steak! Holy moly. Perfectly cooked to medium temp, tender, juicy. Wow. We were absolutely stuffed, but every time that damn dessert cart went rolling by, we rubber necked to see what was on it and what each table ordered. We split the chocolate tower that was a three layer monstrosity that included mousse and cheesecake all covered in dark chocolate. Another big, wow. And our server, Tyler, was terrific. Super personable, helpful with menu selection and provided impeccable service. Truly a wonderful dinner for our last night in Waco. read more

My husband, daughter and I had dinner here this evening. My daughter and I both tried The New Vegan Meatloaf! special. I don't know how they did it but it was the best meatloaf I have ever tasted. If I hadn't known it was vegan before ordering, I never would have known. It was that delicious! read more

The ambiance was great. Definitely high end steakhouse feel. I always think it's funny when places want you to make a reservation and you get there and you still have to wait and then they walk you to your table and there's tons of empty tables. I get it, there might not be enough servers but that's the scheduler's fault. You know they can afford to put more servers on the schedule. We had the Calamari appetizer, I've had better. The batter wasn't cooked all the way and fell of the squid. The side Caesar Salad was extremely small but tasty. The Wedge Salad was good. For entrees we had Sushi, Chicken Parmesan and Chicken-Fried Venison. They were also good. We had a glass of wine and beers. A place like this, I think should have tap beer but they only had bottles. We didn't have desert but they looked good and all of them were really big portions. Service was good. We of course considered having steaks since it's a steakhouse but they were so expensive, we got other items. I get it, it's a high end steakhouse but come on, between $60-$140 for a steak, only, please. Especially, since I can buy grass fed meat myself. I know you're also paying for the ambiance and service too, so I can see going to a place like this every once in a while. So we got 4 beers, 1 glass of wine, appetizer, and 3 entrees and we spent $200. All and all it was good. I would recommend it, if you don't mind spending the money. read more

The server presentations were great but and a very big but she took 20 plus minutes to take our order. Then I ordered the dry aged ribeye and half of it was burnt to a crisp. Come on now if I am going to pay that much for a dry aged steak at least it should be cooked properly. All in all it's not worth the money honestly the atmosphere and service is not worth the price. read more

From the moment we walked through the door I knew we were in good hands Friendly professional service. Food beyond expectations. Kindness shown to my 2 grandchildren. Way above and beyond. Cannot wait to return read more

A Texas style steakhouse- solid steak and a jumbo baked potato side. Both of our steaks were cooked perfectly with a nice char to them. The mushrooms were well seasoned but a little overly buttery for my taste. We tried the pressed sushi roll and it was okay... kind of large pieces that feel apart when you tried to eat it. Fish tasted fresh though. Dessert options looked good, we tried the red velvet bomb which was very moist. Good service and a nice unique wine list. read more

Best meal I've ever had... From the rosemary cheddar popovers to the akaushi rib eye steak... Amazing!

mondbacks Steakhouse, and I have to say, it was an absolutely incredible experience. The restaurant had a great ambiance and the service was outstanding, but the real star of the show was the steak - it was hands down the best I've ever had! Diamondbacks' steak was cooked to perfection, with a beautiful sear on the outside and a juicy, tender interior. Every bite was bursting with flavor, and the quality of the meat was simply outstanding. I was blown away by the attention to detail that went into preparing the steak - it was clear that the chef was a true master of their craft. In addition to the incredible steak, the sides and appetizers were also top-notch. We tried the roasted vegetables and the truffle fries, both of which were absolutely delicious and perfectly complemented the main course. Overall, I would highly recommend Diamondbacks Steakhouse to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience. The quality of the food is simply outstanding, and the service and ambiance make for a truly special evening. If you're a steak lover, you absolutely have to try the steak at Diamondbacks - it's the best I've ever had, and I'm sure you'll agree! read more

Good food, steak was great and service was top notch. Not cheap but a good dining experience usually isn't, a must try if you're in Waco. read more

First i would say that the service was wonderful. The ambiance was also fairly nice. However, the food was nothing to write home about. They started by telling that the steak was their specialty. We both ordered filets. the inside was cooked wonderfully, but the outside was burnt. so much so that chewing it genuinely hurt the roof of my mouth by scraping it. the drinks were good. but i've definitely had a better filet at longhorn. for the price it is simply not worth it. we will not be back. read more

Simply Amazing!!!!! Everything was superb..Outstanding service. Thank you sooo much to Tony (server) and Miranda (manager) for making our night extra special... The BBQ fried Oysters, Lobster bisque and the sesame seared tuna are to die for. I've been to numerous fancy restaurants in the USA and to be honest I have never tasted food like this in 39 years... literally I was in a food coma and forgot to mention I was in heaven... hahaha Skip the Magnolia table (waste of money) and treat yourself to outstanding food. Thank you DIAMONDBACK'S!!! read more

Dinner at DiamondBack's was one of the best meals I have ever had, which is really saying something coming from a vegetarian at a steak place. The cold heirloom tomato soup was drizzled with a delectable pesto olive oil, perfect on a hot summer day. I had never heard of carrot soufflé before and it was amazing. Think of the creaminess of mashed potatoes combined with the fresh taste of carrots, topped with sage butter. The charbroiled broccoli was good, but the star of the show was my husband's garlic asparagus. My husband enjoyed his wedge salad and thought his summer steak was just the right size steak for the end of a busy day and a big meal. Even though I couldn't imagine eating another bite, I'm not sorry we ended the meal with the warm, gooey goodness of the chocolate lava cake. So many times I anticipate making do with a baked potato or side salad when I take my hubby out for his meat fix. I could not have been more delighted with Diamondbacks. It may be pricey, but it is worth ever penny for a romantic night out. read more

Our server and manager went above and beyond to ensure I had a safe and enjoyable gluten free meal. From our server grabbing the last 4 gluten free dinner rolls just for me to the manager going down half of the menu advising me on what to order, my dinner was fantastic! The steaks looked beautifully cooked as well and my mom said she loved the lobster bisque. Drinks were excellent (I had the Autumn Fizz), sushi appetizers were huge and we weren't rushed through our meal. I enjoyed the overall ambience and the safety precautions taken place for social distancing. Definitely a place we will visit again the next time we are in town. read more

We stumbled on to DiamondBack's through Yelp. The reviews were spot on. We did not have a reservation so sat in the bar. The service was great, food excellent. The pork belly/bacon appetizer was awesome. We would plan to visit again. read more

Get a reservation. The food is amazing but really great service as well. We were seated right away on a Friday evening. The place was packed. To start we ordered the colossal shrimp cocktail & they were so good. The wine menu is brought to you on an iPad so you can get a little information about each one. Some really great choices. The puff pastries with rosemary and butter were to die for. Please get the lobster bisque & dip the pastry in it. Those 2 belong together. The wedge is kinda half a wedge really but the house made blue cheese dressing was delicious. I ordered the petite steak burrata and the steak was perfectly cooked & seasoned well. Had to end with bananas foster being from Louisiana but omg this bananas foster will give Brennans a run for the money. It's a little different and I loved it! It's super cozy in there and perfect for date night or celebrations. Definitely going back while in Waco. read more
