| - Went to Diablo's for the first time today thanks to an online voucher deal and I'm quite pleased.
Location wise, this area is booming, lots of nice terraces, bars and restaurant. At first glance, I thought this place was bigger but it occupies the second floor of a building and has a really nice back terrace. There's also live music on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
The whole vibe of the restaurant is fun, pretty pin up girls, Hello sailor, American nostalgia. The decor is rustic, simple. Maybe a little bit so, their outdoor tables are made of untreated wood and if you're not careful, you could get splinters.
There's a wooden tool box on every table that holds salt/pepper and condiments. Big rolls of paper towels signal something deliciously messy is on the way.
We started with drinks - Saltwater Cowboy and Shark Attack, both served in mason jars with colorful straws and fruits. My "Cowboy" was really strong whereas the Shark tasted like a sweet lemonade, very easy to drink. By the way, the pictures of the drinks on the menu don't always correspond to what you'll get. For example, Shark Attack is a Barbie pink grenadine based drink, although it was pictured as yellow.
Many unique cocktails to choose from, all so appealing, I'll definitely be going back just to try them at the very least.
Main courses: we tried ribs and mac and cheese. There were many side dishes to choose from, we chose garden salad, corn bread and a mix of sweet potato and regular fries.
Pretty much everything was delicious, although the mac and cheese which is made of Parmesan and Emmental - I found that to be a bit too pungent for my taste buds. It's definitely not a mac and cheese kids will love although if you're looking for a kick, they also have it with blue cheese.
Next time I'll also opt for strictly sweet potato fries as they seemed a lot more moist in the inside and crispy on the outside.
We didn't order desserts as they only had a pecan pie and Sailor Jerry rum ice cream at the moment. Selection is lacking but they are working on it!
Service was prompt and efficient. They seem to be training a lot of staff and there were no shortage of waitresses around to help you.
There were so many other yummy menu items, I'll be going again as I'm looking forward to trying some fried chicken, tacos, Poboy sandwiches and pulled pork.
Overall great smokehouse, southern style cuisine and fun environment. Just the name itself, Diablo's is a win for me.
