In my short trip through Waco, I was craving Asian food and found this little spot near Baylor U. - amazing variety of sushi and korean menus - great value for portion sizes (I couldn't finish as the portions were Texas size!) - serve serve kiosk but support staff were friendly - somewhat satisfactory taste But when you walk in with the lowest expectations in a small town diner, it's not difficult to be satisfied with a mediocre food. The spicy korean tofu soup wasn't even close to avg quality I've had in the big cities of LA, Chicago, or NY, but it did its job and satisfied my korean food craving. I'd come back for more!

We were the only ones there and she kept coming back every 4mins to bring us things we weren't asking for and interrupting our lunch.

It's hard to mess up sushi and sashimi but this was just not great. I've had better at buffets that offer sushi and that's saying a lot. The hibachi was ok, but nothing I would brag about. Maybe dinner time is better, but I don't think we will be back for lunch. Their ginger dressing is very good though.

This restaurant was very generous and gave us plenty of fish in our bowls, unlike a lot of other places where they skimp out on the protein. In addition to poke bowls, they had salad bowls, and other cooked protein if you are not feeling like poke that they. The restaurant also had a large selection of rolled ice cream! Ambiance: counter service, casual. Plenty of tables to fit small groups of 2 or a table of 4.

Long version: Fresh seafood served with bright citrus and crisp veggies is a recipe for success. With shrimp and Mahi-mahi as the staples, this food truck honors ocean sustainability and local suppliers. We arrived late during a special event evening and the CDM crew was almost sold out. But they were eager to please with what they had and honest about where they were. The Pacifica mixed ceviche bowl was AMAZING. I'm not kidding. Mango, pineapple, red onion, jalapeño, and lime for days. Shrimp & Mahi were perfectly balanced, tender, and tangy. I highly recommend this truck, and I do not like most mobile eateries.

Dining at Diamondback's during Baylor graduation weekend made one thing incredibly clear -- this…read moreteam cares deeply. Was the restaurant absolutely packed? Yes. Were they working nonstop trying to take care of hundreds and hundreds of guests all at once? Absolutely. And through all of it, the front of house staff handled the pressure with grace, calm, professionalism, and genuinely selfless hospitality toward every single table. In reading some of the negative reviews, I think it's important to remember that while a few people may have had frustrating moments during one of the busiest weekends of the year, there were also countless guests having wonderful experiences that same evening. Small businesses and restaurants are incredibly difficult industries, especially during high-volume weekends like Baylor graduation, and the people showing up to serve deserve kindness too. Our experience this weekend -- and every experience we've ever had at Diamondback's -- has been exceptional. You can feel how much every staff member cares about every guest who walks through the door, and that care extends all the way to ownership. The owner clearly does not take feedback lightly, and it's obvious she pours her heart into this restaurant and the people dining there. Diamondback's continues to embody true hospitality, and I could not recommend them more. Looking forward to many more memorable evenings dining at this amazing Waco restaurant.

My family had dinner here this past weekend…read more The setting is a nice, upscale steakhouse. Warning that parking was a bit hard to find. Even though the parking lot is large, it was packed when we got there (our dinner was 6:30 on a Friday night). The service was good (a bit more on that later). We had: Lobster S'cargot (4/5) - Lobster served with the traditional s'cargot sauce even on the s'cargot dish. Pretty good but very rich. When it first came out, we thought it as being served in a hollowed out bowl but given it's served on the s'cargot dish, the portion size is actually pretty small. Akaushi New York Strip (5/5) - The better steak of the night. Very good version of the NY strip, full of flavor and perfectly seasoned. 10-oz Cold Lobster Tail (5/5) - I added this to make my entre "surf and turf." Delicious and presented in an awesome manner! Akaushi Rib-Eye (3.5/5) - This was an "off-the-menu" special. The waitress brought out a big platter with the specials of the day (6 various cuts of beef). We were told one of these was the Akaushi rib-eye served bone-in. The steak looked great raw (well marbled and 3/4 inch thick). This is not what we got. What we got was not bone-in and the steak was very thin (more like 1/4 inch cut). Putting gross weight aside, looked nothing like what we were presented. We did not say anything as the steak itself was okay. I have a feeling the waitress told us the wrong thing. Cajun Pasta (3/5) - Seasoning and flavor was okay but the pasta was severely overcooked. Overall, a pretty good meal for our trip.

Some of the food was great and some of the food was not so great. What made some of the food unsatisfying is that it wasn't fresh. A lot of meats, specifically the chicken were stale/stiff and dry.
