DiamondBack’s was hands-down one of the best meals I’ve had. The quality of beef, shrimp and salmon was top-notch! Ladies here for Magnolia, hear me now, try the mixed grill. It’s just enough and fabulous.

Came here for dinner and had an amazing experience. Came late and was still able to get a perfectly medium rare prime rib. Lobster bisque had chunks of lobster and excellent quality. The lobster escargot was amazing, and the thick cut bacon was great. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly. Really was the best meal I can remember having in a long time.

My wife and I went there for our 20 year anniversary and they had a rose on and a hand written note on an Anniversary card on our table. Sara our waitress was the best. The food was superb and cooked with perfection. My first Tomahawk steak and it won't be my last. Thank you for making our anniversary special without our knowing. Thank you again Sara

The best place to have a date night in Waco. From arrival, the staff were friendly and attentive. The host was welcoming and set us up with the perfect seat per our needs. Our server, Jasmine, was fantastic. She never missed a beat explaining the menu and building history. The beverage selection is viewable on a tablet device provided when you sit. They offer wine flights, glasses, and bottles. They also have some amazing craft cocktails.we opted for a bottle of red blend. We started with Lobster appetizer. It was good, buttery garlic cheesy good. but I will try something different next time. Our next course was house salad and lobster bisque. Both were a must try! Delicious. And for a bread, they have the most amazing popovers. These were a 5-star attraction on their own butter flaky crossaint like cheese and rosemary. We ordered the chef selection petit filet and trio of filet. Both Steaks were cooked to perfection, the miso glazed salmon was perfectly cooked, and most. We ordered the bacon Brussel sprouts as a side, and the portion was huge. For dessert, we had the butterscotch creme Brule with coffee. It was light and hit the sweet tooth just right. And the coffee they are using is perfectly brewed. The manager Michael came to visit us and was a great host. Made us feel very welcome in his establishment.

Fantastic Meal! We had the "splurge meal" of our trip here and it was divine. The Rosemary Cheddar Popovers were still hot and so delicious, my fiancé had the lobster bisque and really enjoyed it. I had the Lobster Escargot and haven't stopped thinking it since. I went online at the table and ordered an escargot pan on Amazon to make this at home. HIGHLY suggest this appetizer. I opted for the wedge salad with my steak (odd to me that they upcharge for bacon on a a wedge) and it was fine, my fiancé really enjoyed his house salad and said it was crisp and refreshing and the dressing was perfect. He opted for the 10pz filet, it was soft and flavorful, I had the Ribeye and the char was perfection. I wish we weren't traveling and I could have brought the rest with me. We split the mashed potato's and they were perfect. Our server, Chastity, was awesome. Very nice, knowledgeable and attentive. 5/5 all around.

We came for our anniversary dinner and everything was perfect! The food was so fresh and savory. Our waiter, Donald, was attentive and very knowledgeable of the menu options (and off menu options). The managers even stopped by to wish us a happy anniversary. They even gave us a rose for our table to celebrate our special night. Thank you y’all so much for a fantastic evening.

My company reserved a private room for us the other night, and we had such a great experience! Everything was perfect. The sirloin was tender and seasoned to perfection. The crab cakes were also very delicious! I was unable to get a picture of those because they didn’t last long on my plate. The waiters and waitresses were very professional and kind. I cannot wait to return one day!

A diamond indeed. This is the perfect special occasion, date night dinner place. High end from the moment you walk in to the moment you exit. The service and staff were exceptional. Personable, attentive, professional and exquisite. The food was divine. Everything was delicious, from the starter bread, to the soups and salads, the phenomenal main course, to the superb desserts. Everything we ate was good, a delicious delight to the pallet. The atmosphere was warm and cozy, elegant and satisfying. You are not rushed at all, but instead are encouraged to enjoy the serene experience all around. This is definitely a higher end establishment, and was worth every penny.

Came here for the first time with family, we got a special room off to the side where it was quiet. Best part of the experience was our server, Cullen. I had shown up about 20 minutes earlier than the rest of my party, and he took the time to speak with me while I was waiting. He was a fantastic server and I really appreciated how genuine he was. The food was good. A few things to note: the prime rib could have used more seasoning (although it was perfectly cooked), the bread was odd (not normal fluffy bread but crunchy and hollow) and the lobster mac n' cheese wasn't really cheesy and didn't have a ton of seasoning. But the service was great, and everyone enjoyed our time there. Again, huge shoutout to Cullen!

The dry aged steak was super good! One of the better steaks I’ve had in a while. But the bacon slab appetizer was not great. Came out cold and just didn’t taste that good. The service was excellent! We loved our server. Atmosphere was dated. Needs a bit of a makeover. The bud lights and various cheap beers on display above the bar seem like an odd choice.

Went last night for my sister’s birthday dinner, & ended up being very disappointed. The hostesses were nice but that’s about it. Our server hardly came to check on us & the food was meh. Definitely expected more for a $200 dinner mind you. Probably won’t be going back

To start out the food was great but then the visit went downhill. We ordered salads, no salads were served. The waiter/bartender seemed to forget we were there. When we asked for a doggie bag everything was dumped into 1 cardboard container including the creamy Cajun Seafood dip, no care was taken. When you pay $70 for a steak, you expect the service to match. The order for the couple sitting next to us was not correct either. We did sit at the bar and it was Tuesday 12/2. We were there for our anniversary.

I went to Diamondbacks in Waco last night with two friends to celebrate my birthday. The hostesses were very sweet when we arrived, and our server was kind and polite. However, the overall service was very poor and the experience did not match the price point. We were there for about two hours and barely had service for most of that time. We also noticed other tables being shown boards with the different steak cuts and having them explained by their servers, which never happened for us. The steak itself was bland and lacked flavor, and the sides were subpar. We were told a birthday dessert would be brought out, but it never came, which was especially disappointing since this was meant to be a special celebration. Honestly, the only standout part of the meal was the bread and butter, which were phenomenal. Unfortunately, everything else fell far below my expectations for an establishment like this, and I left feeling really sad that my birthday dinner was not the experience I had hoped for.

My grand daughter graduated Baylor. We had a party of 11. Reserved the wine room. We were redirected to an area that were high tops that you couldn’t stay in and slid out. Dinner took 3 hrs. Food came out sporadically, no water, ate around all dirty plates and drinks that were empty. Nothing cleared for an hour… We were leaving without our entrees and they started bringing them a few at a time. We were prepared for champagne toasts, drinks, appetizers, entrees and a wonderful evening. Apparently a much more important group took our joy. We won’t ever forget this experience unfortunately.

We were really excited to take my husband here for his birthday. His sister and her boyfriend even flew in from the West Coast, and we were all looking forward to trying this place after I found it online — it had great reviews, so I thought it would be a wonderful experience. I made our reservation a week in advance, but when we arrived, the hostess at the counter was training, so we had to wait a few minutes for our table. No big deal, but then another staff member came up and said she needed to get our table ready — which was confusing since that’s the whole point of making a reservation. Still, we didn’t let that bother us. When we were finally seated, they asked if our reservation was for five people (it wasn’t — it was for four). Our waiter came by and asked for our drink orders, but we couldn’t find drinks on the menu. I mentioned we’d never been there before, and he said the drink list was on the iPad. He was very short and not at all personable — maybe he was having an off day, but it definitely affected the experience. I noticed the table behind us also mentioned they were new, and their waiter was amazing — he explained everything, even showed them the cuts of steak. Unfortunately, we didn’t get that kind of service. Three of us ordered the seared scallops — big mistake. They were overcooked, chewy, and so salty it actually burned your throat. I couldn’t even finish one. The dish came with four scallops, and I barely managed half of one. Another staff member came by and asked how our meals were — I told him they were terrible, and he just walked away without saying a word. My sister-in-law said her tempura roll was good, at least. The bread, however, had a burnt flavor. I don’t mind paying for quality when both the food and service are worth it, but unfortunately, neither was. For a $400 bill, we expected a much better experience.

Ridiculous. This used to be our favorite place in Waco, a spot we never missed whenever we were in town. We always brought our son and his friends here and had planned to bring 16 family members for his graduation dinner. After this last experience, we will never go back. The food was good, but absolutely not worth what they are charging. The service was fine, but nowhere near the level you’d expect at the prices they command. And the drink prices? Outright insulting. $30 for a Grey Goose on the rocks (a double) — when even in New York City’s most expensive steakhouses, a double costs $24. For Waco, Texas, it’s indefensible. It’s clear they are taking advantage of Baylor families and out-of-town visitors who don’t know better. That kind of price gouging completely overshadows anything positive about the food or the atmosphere. We left disgusted and disappointed. What was once a family tradition has turned into a money grab with no sense of value or fairness. They’ve lost loyal customers for good — and anyone else considering it should think twice before wasting their money.
