Black Diamond Oyster Bar

You're going to get some of the freshest seafood at this joint; why wouldn't you? This city is almost completely on water! My family was being a bunch of weirdos so I arrived alone, with my book--my guilty pleasure--a hood book, I won't disclose the title ;-)....i digress....I grabbed a seat indoors. Outside seating was available; sounded like a madhouse that Sunday night. The live band was rocking! My waitress looked to be about 12; super adorable, very sweet. She checked in on me about every 13 seconds. Nothing too special about my salad but the ranch seemed to be of good quality. No hidden valley here! The oysters and pickles were lightly fried, no heavy batter, and seasoned just right. The snapper was the star of the show for It was a specialty of the day. I would've liked a few more crawfish in my etouffee for that $30 price tag, but I get....they have bills as do I! All in all, I enjoyed my visit. I loved the "down home, divey " feel. Black Diamond for the "W"!

My husband and I stopped here during our little day trip to Corpus Christi with our dogs and we loved the food!Needless to say, there were no leftovers!Also, the staff was super nice and even helped us get some water for our dogs.We dined outside and it was really pretty. The staff even turned on their giant fan for us to cool down during the hot day.

Food came out late for how long we waited and was somewhat cold, idk if the bigger male server was having a bad day or something. The thing about some of these small family owned restaurants is they pay the cooks 5$ less than fast food so the quality isn't all there. I don't know who to blame here? The manager? The owners for not paying for quality cooks? The food has been a let down several times for the price, drive down the road somewhere else you will get what you paid for, not there.

We came there just for the Oysters and got the Oyster Trio and it was phenomenal. It was so fresh and seasoned with full of flavors that it definitely made my day. I could've ate more if we had more room to eat. Customer service was great too!

Great food! Bread pudding was yummy. Always on our must stop list when in town. Oysters were good as always. As a family from the desert we love our seafood when in the area!

What a delicious find!!!! A small family owned local restaurant is a must go to. We had the oyster trio to start. This had oyster Robert, Rockefeller and New Orleans. All were amazing. We ordered a couple specials for dinner. The habanero shrimp and the mahi with crab and shrimp.. The habanero shrimp was sweet spicy, and delicious . The mahi had a nice Cajun kicked to it. The mahi was served nice Ponchartrain sauce.

Stopped by after a day at Mustang Island. I saw fried pickles on the menu and I was sold lol. We were seated right away, outside because we had our fur baby with us. They were so kind and brought our dog an ice cold bowl of water. Service was great and our order came out pretty quick. I ordered a side of fried shrimp and my husband ordered the fish and shrimp plate. All of our food was delicious. I personally wasn't a fan of the coleslaw but my husband liked it. The aesthetic is very "beach town" vibe with indoor and outdoor seating and a stage outside for live music.. we enjoyed our experience here!

Simple place; though the ambience, friendly staff & the food was excellent. We set inside at the bar. Moe, the bartender was fabulous & friendly.My friend had plain oysters & baked oyster Rockefeller, which was A+....then we shared fried fresh zucchini & Boudin balls (outstanding)Their cocktails were right on.I choose their grilled fish. Excellent, highly recommend this place

First time visiting. Enjoyed the atmosphere and staff was incredible. Food reviews were mixed from the family. Chicken and fish sandwich were winners. Seared tuna was excellent with homemade ginger and sweet chili sauces. The only mid review was the grilled fish and vegetables . Too salty and overcooked. Oysters were small. All and all a great experience.

THE BEST AHI TUNA NACHOS!!!! Food was 10 out of 10. Service is also fantastic. But seriously we were recommended by a friend to get their burger and the ahi tuna nachos. Skipped the burger (which I am sure is amazing) and glad we did because these nachos are the bomb.com
