Service was super super friendly. Food was good but we made the mistake of eating outside and couldn’t enjoy it due to a LOT of flies. Eat inside and you’ll be happy. Definitely the tastiest hush puppies I’ve ever had.
The food here is amazing!! Eat here if you are thinking about it! The Ahi Tuna Burger with a fried egg was DELICIOUS! The fries are getting than 5guys! I highly recommend. All the food was off the charts and the costumer service was excellent. We were greeted once we walked in and everyone was very nice. The restaurant was very clean as well. You can eat inside or outside. The outside has heat lamps.

I fall a bit short of my fellow Google Map raters, and I rate Black Diamond a solid 4-star establishment. There were things worthy of a 5-star mark, other items were more on the order of a 3-star rating. We had a few drinks (Cat 5 Hurricane, Peppermint Bark, Tanqueray/Tonic), all were good!
Let me start by briefly stating that "AK" was our waitress... she was awesome... walked us through the menu, explained lots, and answered all questions... as the place got busier while we were there, she still stopped by an often! 5-Star service... attentive, but not intrusive ... thanks AK!!!
General observation about the place... Food service... everything came out of the kitchen HOT (temperature), a few dishes so hot we had to let them cool off before enjoying them! Lots of locals eating there (speaks volumes), including many "Winter" Texans. Great conversations with the locals!
We opted to start with oysters... some of the half-shell variety and then the oyster-trio. The half-shell oysters were "da bomb" ... plump and juicy, with horseradish and cocktail sauce on the side (we were yearning for a mignonette sauce, but no luck).
The baked oyster trio was a bit out of our "what we like" zone... a dozen oysters fixed Roberts-style (cocktail sauce, jalapenos, cheddar cheese), Rockefeller-style (cream cheese, spinach, bacon, Swiss cheese), and New Orleans-style (white wine, butter, garlic, parmesan). Our fav was probably the "Nawlins-style, which were very good.
Between the fried goodies and the entree, we sampled a cup of the house gumbo, a bit "fishy" for our palates... when we make gumbo, it never includes fish, usually shrimp or chicken/duck with andouille sausage. The gumbo was good, just not our preference.
And in Port A/Corpus Christi, why not enjoy some fried food, right...? The next food salvo consisted of fried oysters and fried mushrooms. Fried oysters were tasty, but a but limp. The fried mushrooms were on point, exactly what anyone would want... piping hot! Deelish! One note about the batter on both the oysters and the mushrooms, it was a bit salty, remedied by removing some of the batter and dunking in ketchup! LOL
We split the one of the daily specials as an entree ... the blackened mahi-mahi topped with crab and "crawtails." Very tasty fish, but the blackened seasoning was very overpowering, a bit too much. We scraped some of the seasoning off, and the fish was very good. The side of grilled veggies was great!
So, a solid 4-star place, with outstanding oysters. We'd likely go back to Black Diamond just to eat the oysters on the 1/2 shell, they were some of the best we've had in a long time. Shucked and served ice-cold... YUM! Recommend Black Diamond next time you're in the neighborhood!
I can't tell you how impressed I am with this place. Great atmosphere, and the food was great. I had several huge oysters I had to cut in half so each half would fit on a cracker. The gumbo was so good too. What I'm impressed with the most is the staff. They all worked hard and supported each other well. I didn't see one employee on their phone the entire time I was there. Super friendly to all the customers
Wyatt did an awesome job of juggling, bar, outside area drinks, and serving customers. Great service and the oysters on the half shell were delicious.
Good little place, the blackened drum with mango habanaro sauce was amazing. And the Tuna nachos were really good. We also tried the amber jack which was a little dry, but not terrible. The Trio oysters were decent, and the most expensive item on our tab. And the Pina drink was good but weak and I'm a light weight. Lol. It took a bit to get our food. But The staff was really friend. Overall a good experience.
This hole-in-the-wall is a must visit! The food was fantastic and the beers were the cheapest I’ve seen in town. The fried fish sandwich was undoubtedly the best I’ve had.
The service isn’t very fast and we did have to wait about 20 minutes to be seated (mind you, on the Fourth of July), but I assure you it is worth it!
Had the Snapper special blackened with rice pilaf & House salad. Oysters on half shell too. Food was excellent. Had a lady on guitar on stage which made for a great atmosphere performance. I'd return again.
This tucked a way seafood place is great. They have fresh seafood grilled or fried. The oyster trio was full flavored and on point. The fried fish and shrimp had just enough batter to make it crispy and not overwhelming. The tartar sauce and cocktail sauce I could’ve ate with a spoon it was so good. Customer service was exceptional. You will not go wrong with anything on the menu.

Food is delicious! There was a 30 min wait but we grabbed some beers at the bar. Not a very large restaurant. Server AK was awesome she was very attentive. Oysters were so fresh and tasty. Red drum was awesome! Scallops were great! No complaints about food. Just be patient with parking.
