Black Diamond Oyster Bar

Indoor and outdoor seating as well as bar available. Very nice and friendly service. I had their Cat 5 Hurricane, and it was delicious. My husband said their Tito's and tonic was well made. We had the oyster trio for an appetizer and enjoyed each different one. I had the crawfish bisque, and my husband had their gumbo. Both soups wete delicious. I had their whitefish blackened, and my husband had their fish blackened with grilled shrimp. Both were delicious. We will go back.

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.

Got the shrimp and crab queso. It was good. Would have liked more Pico de Gallo on it, but the flavor was great. Hubby got the oysters on the half shell. Good flavor and size. Our bartender Wyatt was very friendly and did a great job making us feel at home. Thank you, Wyatt, for your great service. AK47 was so awesome. Thanks for laughing and joking with us AK47. They have outdoor seating and live music on the weekends.

Sat out back where they had picnic tables and a little outdoor bar. Great service! Shrimp was delicious!

Came back a second time 1-2024. Had the Crawfish bisque which was perfectly creamy and absolutely delicious. We all tried something different... None disappointed. Great place. Highly recommend

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

Ms. Emily playing tonight. Always a treat. On the food, cannot fail with the oyster sampler...so, so good with a basket of fried mushrooms and a side of ahi tuna..bam...and to wash it down with a cold Shiner. Hell yes...Go Navy, Beat Army

A cozy little bar with a local vibe, but very welcoming to us winter Texans. Stopped in on a Thursday afternoon for a snack and a beer. Had a dozen oysters, which appeared to be local, blackened gator bites and ahi tuna nachos. There was so much food we don't need dinner. Gator was especially delicious. Wyatt was the bartender, and did a great job. Very friendly and helpful. Beer was cold, food was good, service was great. We will be stopping again.

We discovered this restaurant through google map seafood places and couldn’t have had a better experience. The oyster trio was so good that we came back a week later to get more! So good!

The service was amazing they were very busy and after a day of swimming we were very hungry and tired. The kitchen said they were behind and my kids were getting hungry but I didn't feel like the food took to long. I have waited longer at more expensive places. We had appetizers and meals and desserts. We didn't have alcohol. The tuna sandwich was delicious my son had hamburger was to big for him to finish it he ate the rest the next day. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Corpus Christi.

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.

When I read "hidden gem" in restaurant reviews, that's usually a good thing. I'm not one to visit a place just because it's popular/famous. I ordered oysters on the half shell first. I received seven instead of six because the waitress said they were small. Love that! I then ordered the gumbo. I have had amazing gumbo in Louisiana and while this wasn't quite that, it was still *very* good. My husband is a very picky eater and he really enjoyed the burger. Staff was super friendly, timely and accommodating. I Highly recommend this place!

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.

Man let me tell you.. not only is the food always a 12/10 but the service here is unmatched! Wyatt was so knowledgeable and sweet. We will always come here when we drive down from S.A. Best small town vibe restaurant with the best oysters!!!

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!

Great family restaurant. Very good waitress. Food was delicious. Recommend when on SPID.

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 diner is very small with not much seating however this may be its only con. Everything our table of 4 ordered was excellent. Fresh, hot and great tasting. The oysters are huge and fresh. The fish was so tender and delicious. The chicken fried chicken was a very large portion fried to perfection and served with gravy. No frozen fries here, Only freshly peeled potatoes. The drinks were served in very large cups but our waitress A.K. brought us a second cup when they got low. There is some outside seating depending on the weather. We were in and out in pretty quick. We definitely recommend giving this place a try. Their menu isn’t huge so they have perfected what they do offer.

This is the first place we ate on our visit to Corpus Christi and we were all very pleased. The restaurant has a small indoor seating area but was clean and agreeable. The staff was friendly, quick service and Lauren, our server, was awesome. Now on to the food... oh the food. The food was fresh, hot, and so satisfying we were planning a return visit to try more food before we could get up from the table.

Amazing food. Burgers was great. Gumbo fantastic. The buttermilk pie was one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. Wait stuff was so incredibly kind!! What a memorable visit.
