Besides the not so warm welcome. I love the variety of Asian & Seafood that they have. I had sweet sour chicken, Mongolian pork, prawn, fried shrimp, coconut shrimp, crab, lo mein and rice. 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. For a first impression, I feel like it could be better.

It lacked flavor, spice, and any real kick. There were only three small pieces of chicken--a tiny drumstick and two small pieces--and the rice tasted more like plain white rice with a little seasoning and leftover chicken mixed in. Even worse, I found numerous bone fragments throughout the rice, making it difficult and potentially hazardous to eat. I ultimately had to throw the biryani away because of the bone fragments and lack of flavor. The naan was great, but based on my experience, I would not recommend the chicken biryani. I can't speak to the rest of the menu, but this experience was disappointing enough that I won't be returning.

The inside is no frills with images displaying some offered menu items. My order of Chicken & Broccoli, and Mu Shu Pork were both well prepared, and as good as anything I have had in San Francisco where I live. Regarding the Mu Shu Pork, the restaurant provided Wonton wrappers, vs the traditional pancakes, and did not provide a Plum or Hoisin sauce that is often added to the Mu Shu Pork packet. FYI, H-E-B should carry Hoisin Sauce which we had. Overall a good experience, I would go back.

It comes with catfish but they let you choose your fish if you want something different! It comes with 2 sides so I got fries and fried okra. The fried okra was the star of that show for me! Also, I switched out the catfish for Blue Whiting. Everything was well seasoned and delish. My husband ordered the Blue Whiting platter which was 2 whiting filets and a side. He considered getting the etouffee so while we ate she brought out a small taste of it for us to sample for next time. (And there will be a next time!) The girl at the counter (owner??) is SO STINKIN NICE! My gosh, talk about great with customers! (Cutie with fun glasses.) It's about an hours drive from where we live but we're through Waco pretty regularly so we're looking forward to our next stop at Friday's.

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.

This was my second time visiting this place, and I really enjoyed it again!…read more There were four of us, and we spent around $50 total, which I thought was pretty reasonable for everything we ordered. For appetizers, we got the crab puffs. The combination of the crispy puff, cream cheese, and crab was delicious! We also ordered the steamed dumplings, which had a nice combination of vegetables and ground meat. I liked that the appetizers balanced each other out--one was a little sweeter, while the other was more savory. For our main dishes, we ordered Kung Pao chicken with fried rice. You really can't go wrong with Kung Pao chicken! The spice level was just right for me, although I do enjoy spicy food, so keep that in mind if you prefer milder flavors. We also ordered the beef with snow peas, and I was honestly surprised by how much I liked it. It was a new way for me to try snow peas, and I'm officially a fan! We also got the wonton soup. It looks simple, but it has a lot of flavor and was actually a nice palate cleanser between dishes. I went with my aunt, who usually isn't a big fan of eating out because she tends to have not-so-great experiences. However, this place earned her "I like it" stamp both for the food and the service! The only thing she mentioned was that the food was a little salty for her taste. She usually eats food with very little salt, though, so I think that's more of a personal preference than a complaint about the food itself. The restaurant itself is pretty, welcoming, and comfortable, and the service was fast and friendly. Definitely a place I'd come back to!

We finally made it to this one and it did not disappoint! The restaurant is spacious with many picnic tables covered with checkered tablecloths. The ceiling is vaulted adorned with beams. It's a very casual & rustic ambiance. I opted for the brisket sandwich while hubby craved the smoked turkey sandwich. The sides chosen were the creamed corn and potato salad. Our entire order was packed in one of those hefty dishwashing trays. Very clever. Staff were friendly and food came out quickly. We totally savored all the food. The brisket was just as tasty & tender as I remembered and hubby's smoked turkey had his tastebuds singing! Hands down the best creamed corn anywhere and their potato salad was excellent, too. Let's not forget their "sauce!" Everything was so flavorsome. Since we had leftover potato salad & creamed corn, we ordered BBQ sausage to go for dinner at the hotel later that evening. It was delicious, too. We're so happy we came by. Rudy's remains our #1 BBQ destination in Texas.
