The true surprise was how interesting the menu was- nothing seemed 'ordinary'. Even standard items like wings were slow cooked and tasty. Loved my rockfish and the hubby liked his Shepards Pie. Service was great and... (more)

Food was way overpriced and poor. The 10$ Fish Bites appetizer was 4 tiny (marble-sized) pieces. (although I admit they were tasty - but TEN dollars???) The 6$ Crab soup was one of the worst examples of a dish I've... (more)

Some really amazing food. The wings melt in your mouth (I recommend the Thai Chili) and the Maryland microbrews are fun to try. Great neighborhood hangout! (more)

The sunday special was listed at $2.00 drafts and that was for some good micro brews. The bar food is a bit different and the rockfish bites are excellent as well as the crab/corn fritters and the crab dip. It was rainy... (more)

I decided to pop in for HoCo Restaurant Week and try their $20 pre fixe. First off, the staff from top to bottom was incredibly friendly and accommodating. The food was great, best Shepard's Pie I've ever had. We stayed... (more)

I've visited the Diamondback Tavern several times over the past few weeks and enjoyed a few things and been a bit disappointed in others - parking could be better, but that's part of the charm of the location. The... (more)

After years of being jaded by the restaurants in Old Elicott City, there is a "diamond" in rough at the Diamondback Tavern. The first thing to attract my attention was the effort to incorporate local (and by local I... (more)

I read the last post and definitely wanted to offer my opinion about this new establishment. The newly renovated Diamondback Tavern is a very nice change of pace from the former Tiber River Tavern. Yes, the place has... (more)

I am NOT affiliated with any restaurant NOR am I in the restaurant business. The criticism in my previous post (my honest opinion - opinion being the operative word), caused a misplaced, rash, and flailing response... (more)

I went to the Diamondback Tavern Just recently and it was simply fantastic. I had always gone to Tiber River Tavern when it was there, but enjoyed Diamondback Tavern much more than Tiber River. As soon as you walk in the... (more)

Supposedly this Tavern - which serves amazingly yummy food, is also haunted. This place is great for so many different reasons. You can have a romantic dinner with your S.O. or you can just go here on a late night... (more)
