iced tea 
Dear ,
 
It's not like it took a rocket scientist to figure this one out. Southern people love sweet tea. And now there's sweet tea with vodka dumped in it.  Well, no wonder Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka is the new in thing around here. And we are mighty proud to have been one of the first folks in town to serve it.  Actually we know a guy who knows the guy who invented Firefly in South Carolina. If you haven't tried it, well, beat the summer heat and head on over. Phillip will mix one up for ya*. 
 
Lots happening this month at the DB.  Kids are getting out of school -- some are graduating (from High School)(and Pre-school)... so bring them on over to celebrate!  We'll be doing a lot of that this month because believe it or not -- this month marks the Diamondback's 20th Winston-Salem anniversary. Some of you have been with us even since the earliest days in Roaring Gap!  Lord knows we couldn't have made it without all of you -- thank you!
 
Lots going on this month:
grilled steakNew low-cost Grill-Ready Platters and Chef's Cooler-Pack
This is an exciting new venture for the Diamondback and we're hoping everyone will give it a try. Now you can order beautiful steaks, salads, seafood, side dishes, appetizers and more and we'll get them ready for you to cook -- right at home.  So if you're planning a big backyard cook-out, we'll prepare it all for you!  Or, if you're headed on a trip -- we can pack your cooler for you and dinner will be ready to put on the grill when you arrive. The prices are fantastic -- read more about all this below.
  
Father's Day is coming up of course. We love Dads, so we generally turn this into a 2-day event.  We'll have great food and sports for all the fun Dads in town.  
  
Happy summer and hope you catch lots of fireflies.  - Kimberly and Murphy
*Our legal department says that we need to say that you need to be over 21 years old to drink Firefly iced tea but of course, you already knew that.

Now at the Diamondback
gazpachoGazpacho - cold, delicious and now available. We're famous for our gazpacho and the season is here.  We use fresh ingredients so our gazpacho is amazing (if we do say so ourselves!). Stop by and have a cup with a nice glass of white wine.
 
ciao bella 2NEW!  Ciao Bella Blood Orange Sorbet
Ciao Bella Sorbet is new to the Diamondback and we love it because it's made with fresh, all natural ingredients.  
We think you'll love the intense fruity flavor.  Nothing could be more perfect a sweltering hot summer day.  Let the kids try it and watch their faces - this is a long way from vanilla ice cream baby. Come check it out. 
proseccoProsecco:  Italy's sexy version of champagne
Prosecco is a light, sparkling wine that has become very popular lately -- possibly because it's has the bubbly magic of champagne at a more affordable price. Now is the perfect time to enjoy a little prosecco with light summery foods. 
Try it with a light salad & vinaigrette, fresh seafood or a bowl of delicious gazpacho.
 
WINE LOVERS PLEASE NOTE:  Our new wine list is coming out in mid-June!  This new list is so special that it took 18 months to procrastinate and perfect.  Truly special new selections and definitely not your run-of-the-mill list.  And yes, we'll still be featuring the 7 1/2 oz pour that we invented over 10 years ago. That's more wine than you find at a lot of places -- and that's a good thing.
 
 
baseball with uniformWing-it after the Game!
 
$5.00 Wing Specials for Little Leaguers!
Now kids can get 6 jumbo wings, a soft drink + a choice of side for just $5.00.
 
We've had lots of Father/Son duos lately --coming in after baseball for beer, root beer and some famous Diamondback jumbo wings. So we figured why not make a deal for these folks. If you haven't tried our wings we invite you to head on over.  Maybe leave your best white shirt in this closet. This can get messy.

saladGo green.
Fresh, tender little lettuces are arriving at the Diamondback and we invite you to come make the salad of your dreams. We have over 65 ingredients to help you build your salad masterpiece. Add some seasoned, marinated chicken to the top for protein or some fresh, sliced avocado to make your hair shine honeychild. Whether you're on Atkins, Weight Watchers, The Flat Belly Diet or any other diet you can build a healthy salad that will make you feel satisfied.
kid in poolCurb side take-out.  Great food. No mess.
There are going to be moments this summer when it's 6:00 pm and you're still in a wet bathing suit with little small people staring at you asking what's for dinner.  Well, we have a simple, delicious solution:  just call the Diamondback.  There's so much to choose from, including:
  • healthy, inexpensive kids meals
  • burgers, ribs, seafood and steaks
  • make-your-own-take out salad (big portions that you can split!)
  • all of your other Diamondback favorites
Just give us a call 20 minutes before you get out of the pool, place your order for a fresh, healthy dinner and then pull on up into our reserved take-out parking space and we'll bring it out to you.  This is a better alternative to fast food any day of the week. Plus, we won't comment on the fact that your hair is plastered to side of your head or that you reek of chlorine.  You're with friends here.
To place your order call (336) 722-0006.
P.S. Technically we do not know this little kid in the pool but lots of kids tend to look like this after the first 5 minutes in the pool.  It's after the 6 straight hour of swimming that you really need curb-side take-out because by then honey, those kids aren't smiling.
door stepNot exactly the postman.
Generally the postman doesn't bring you a coupon for a free cold one -- but we just might.  If you live near the DB, you may be finding one of our "Summertime Fun Packs" on your front door. 
 
Our Fun Packs are fun because they're filled with free stuff.  We love our neighbors and we want you to head on over.  By walking,  you'll save gas and tighten your behind at the same time. 
cowsCows in the house.
As you know, the Diamondback has lots of gorgeous rotating art work for sale on our walls.  And some of this month's selection features well, cows.  We've fallen in love with these magical bovine creations and we think you will too.  Come on in and take some of these gorgeous cows home with you.
Thanks again everyone and please come join us for - Kimberly and Murphy
