The best thing on the menu is the small block burger with fried pickles , unless you feel like having breakfast which is the best deal in town ! I love this place!!

Preston Hursey, III

Gravy cheese fries . So great. Pimento cheese under the gravy . Got it as a mistake from the kitchen. Love them even before with Tabasco on top!

Josh DuVall

There's a lot of excellent stuff to choose from on the menu, and everything I've had has been top flight. That said, this is where you get the legendary burgers that formerly resided at The Penguin .

Amanda Ogden

Christy Curley

Fried pickles were great! My friends got burgers and loved them. I got fried chicken with green beans/mac and cheese . Delicious!

Antonia Logan

Great conversation atmosphere, I had the Hamburger Streak and it was delicious. I went back at 2 am and had the "Diamond in the Rough"

This is the old Penguin . Amazing block burgers and sweet potato fries ! They offer vegan choices too.

J Sambets

Everything is good, But try the small block burger (all the way)! and the best fries in Plaza Midwood.

Joe

Diamond is the real penguin . As well as the real diamond. If somebody disagrees, kick them in the taint

David J.

Ribeye steak sandwich and swap fries for mac & cheese . And get a bottled drink like Cherwine or RC Cola. You'll want to thank me later. Just know that you're welcome.

Angel Truesdale

I hate tartar sauce but the carrot tartar sauce they have is one of my fav things in the world! Get it with hush puppies or EVERYTHING!

CJ Toscano

Near identical menu to the pre-Diamond Penguin menu. Black bean veggie burger is killer. Easy on the hush puppies - they are the size of golf balls and fill you up fast! Read more

Lauren Teer

Can't go wrong with small block & fried pickles . If the parking lots full go to the CVS down the street!

Sean Rouse

Try the Diamond Dog - Their signature hot dog . All beef foot long topped with chili onions and mustard . Good dog.

Corndogs are hand-dipped. Pig wings are delicious. Fried pickles :). Add a veggie plate and you're golden for multiple meals.

Maureen Barrett

EVERYTHING is so good and the staff is laid back .

Seriously, folks just letting their dogs walk all over the damn patio outside has to stop. It's a restaurant , not a dog park .

Fried pickles = amazing!! Sandwiches , burgers , hot dogs , and veggie sides are great.... Not a big fan of the entree meats though.

Patio is very dog friendly , they bring out water and don't seem annoyed by fur-babies! :)
