We had a wonderful, relaxed meal. Drinks were perfect, filets were perfection - cooked exactly as ordered & very tender, lobster tails was good - not the best ever, but I’m glad I ordered it, salads were delicious, and the Tower of Chocolate was unbelievable! Our server, Courtney, couldn’t have done a better job!

Not bad. Great food and the dining area is nice.
The bathrooms are horrendous feels like a dive bar bathroom.

Driest, unflavored steak I have ever had in my life. The bread is stale and hollow. Overpriced trash.

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

We went here for my wife’s special birthday. When I made the reservation I said it was for my wife’s birthday. Upon our arrival the receptionist wished my wife a happy birthday. There was a card at our booth wishing her a happy birthday and our server, Rex, pointed out that she would be getting a complimentary dessert. Rex provided outstanding service which was a perfect complement to the excellent meal we had—Diamondback sushi roll followed by the sesame encrusted seared Ahi tuna closing out with turtle cheesecake. We will certainly go back here the next time we are in town.

Husband and I went crazy and decided to get married in the middle of nowhere, the "closest" place with restaurants was Waco and found this place in an article.
So happy with our choice! They were great!

We asked a little of everything, the only thing we did not like was the tuna.

The desserts are huge!!! We really wanted to try several, but we could not order since there was no way we would finish them.

Probably my favorite restaurant in town! The service and quality of food are incredible! Very luxurious but with a nice family atmosphere. Absolutely love Jacey and Ike at the bar!

Always a wonderful experience at Diamondbacks! We went to celebrate my birthday, and everything from the moment we walked in the door until we walked out was fantastic! The food tasted amazing, Kelsey our server was attentive and so sweet. She even brought out a sparkler in a cup of whipped cream at the end to celebrate. Marshall our host was equally helpful and so nice. We’ll always go back to Diamondbacks!

Lighting made the place feel like a perfect date spot to celebrate the night with my wife. We made no prior plans, but despite that they heard of our anniversary, and gave us an amazing evening. I wish I took pictures of the food, but it was just too good to wait. Kaleb was a fantastic server with attention to all of our specifics. The Cowboy Ribeye is every bit worth the price tag on it.

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.

Amazing steak! Possibly the best we've had. Super cozy and romantic atmosphere, service was just great and loved the rosemary popovers! We were visiting for the eclipse and would definitely come again

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.

Had a really great time with my husband. The atmosphere is so romantic and the food divine *chef’s kiss*. Our server J was so nice and courteous through and through, great recommendations too! We started with the calamari appetizer then the caesar salad and for the main course I got the lobster and he got the lamb chop. The roll was a bit salty to my liking but it didn’t lessen the experience. We’d definitely come back and we recommend!

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.
