Ive been to Diamond on several occasions. I love when they have drink specials ~ pickle backs are something Ive come to enjoy thanks to a special.
The fried pickles are awesome and so are the hush puppies (both artery clogging, I know, but I cant help myself :).
However, today I discovered two items ill never order again: the creamed squash and the Veggie Meatloaf. Im a vegetarian and have had this type of dish at Letties, which is around the corner on Shamrock -- and they do Veggie Meatloaf really well...so Diamonds paled terribly in comparison. Diamonds Veggie loaf is too dry and absolutely too large, unseasoned, and over breadcrumbed. The squash was swimming in cream, as though it hadnt even been cooked...so that was gross.
However, Ive never been disappointed with the mac and cheese OR the black bean burger. Next time I go, Ill stick to what I know.
3 stars because there are some great staples on the menu.
