"This is easily the dominant barbecue stop in Richardson. The menu is slim, and the dishes are straightforward — meats are priced by the half pound, and all the usual Texas barbecue favorites are on it, with the expected sides. For sandwiches, opt for brisket or pulled pork. And the banana pudding earns raves." - Courtney E. Smith

UPDATE Jan 2023: WOW! 1st visit was back in 2017. I guess 14 miles from our house keeps us away far too long. So back we came and it was great. Got lots of leftovers. You have to be really hungry to get more than 1/2 lb serving of meat. Especially if you get any side dishes. I took a bunch of new photos but the place hasn't changed much for me compared to last time. Sunday lunch seemed very popular with friends and families. 2017: Great impression for our 1st visit. We got the half pound pork ribs and turkey. Different look to the place interesting stuff on the walls including the old Chevrolet pick up truck in the dining areas. See photos. The ribs were delicious and I managed to save 2 for leftovers next week. But we ate all of the banana bread pudding yummy. Worth another visit sooner than later.

I sought a restaurant with plenty of free parking, and I found it here. Opting for various BBQ meats including beef brisket, sausage, and pork ribs, I noticed a subtle smoke flavor that fell short of my expectations, though the overall taste was satisfactory. While the beef brisket and sausage were decent, the pork ribs lacked flavor. Of the side dishes, the coleslaw stood out with its unique cilantro twist and light dressing. The best side dish was five cheese mac.

Very friendly staff! Walking into a atmosphere. Where they greet you and answer your questions about the menu is a 🙌🏼 place to eat. Also the food is DELICIOUS!!! People! Very clean organized place to go for any occasion!!!

Stopped in during my visit in the north Dallas area and I'm glad I found this place. They have plenty of parking with indoor/outdoor dining. Great place to meet friends for dinner and couple of drinks. The service was fast and friendly.

Great food and atmosphere. The lean brisket was very tender and juicy. The fried okra had the best flavor, ever. The stuffed jalapeños were really good as well. Even the sweet tea was flavored exactly right.

You walk in and straight to the pint as to what meat you would like. Then, you walk through the door and pick your sides and beverages, pay the register, and find a place to eat and enjoy. I got here around 130 pm on a Sunday, and it wasn't busy. The staff is super friendly and delightful. Extremely respectful. I loved the vibe and atmosphere. Will be returning! *HUGE PORTIONS OF MEAT BTW*

I've been to Ten50 a couple of times now. Their take on BBQ is good. The meat is cooked well and has good flavor. I recently had the chopped brisket, but I've had the jalapeno sausage and pulled pork before. All were good. The interesting thing I can say is I think they have some of the best sides you can get anywhere. Their Mac and Cheese is creamy and thick but doesn't feel overdone. I am a fan of the way they do fried Okra. It is lightly breaded and has a nice flavor to it. I know my wife and I will be back again for lunch or dinner.

After eating here, now I understand why Texans take so much pride of their BBQ! I noticed that how they prepare and grill the meat are clean. Efficient process I believed! My most favorite is the Brisket but all of the food are good. Highly recommended! We'll be back given a chance.

Had to choose between three different BBQ places while out here in Texas: Pecan Lodge, Ten50, and Terry Black's, since we were in town for only a short while. Went with Ten50 since it was closer to where we were staying. So glad we made that choice! I like their set-up here. You start off getting your meat before heading inside. You just let the guys know what you want how much of it (starting off with 1/2 a pound. We got 3 pounds of brisket, 2 pounds of sausage, 1 pound of pork rib. You can also grab your corn on the cob and baked potatoes here, as well. For our party of four, the meat was plentiful that we had to take home the rest (which filled their take home box). Once you get the meats, you head inside for the sides and drinks. It's kind of like cafeteria-style where you push the tray along and let the crew behind the counter know what you want. I think we went overboard on the sides; they do give you big portions that we were able to share a few. We went with the potato salad, mac n cheese, coleslaw, baked beans, green beans, and a couple rolls. Once you grab your drinks, sauce, utensils, and pay, you head into the spacious dining room (felt like we were eating in a huge barn), and pick out a table to eat at. Before we get to the food, let me just say that I love the ambience here. Felt like we were at just one giant party with the string lights and cozy vibes. Also, the staff here is extra friendly. Now the good stuff. I read a few reviews about the brisket being dry, and I guess we just happen to be here on a day where the brisket was juicy and melt in your mouth tender. With or without the sauce, it was the highlight for me! The sausage was just okay for me; it was heavily peppered and a bit on the cold side. I guess by the time I got to the pork ribs, I was full on brisket. The dry rub had a sweet, unique taste to it, and to me, was flavorful. There were 2 kinds of sauces you could choose from (if you're the saucy BBQ type.. and I am), Carolina and their House BBQ sauce. Loved their house, but not so much the Carolina sauce - it was too vinegary. For the sides, my favorite were the green beans; cooked to perfection with bits of bacon. The potato salad was a close second with bacon, green onion, and cheese, the mac 'n cheese was creamy and delicious, the baked beans also had bits of bacon and was so good! Who am I kidding, all the sides were equally delicious! Unfortunately, the roll I got was stale. The rest of my crew loved it, and said it was soft and warm. I'm guessing I ended up with the last of the cold ones and theirs came fresh from the oven. Still would like to come back and try other BBQ places in town, but for now, Ten50 is up there at the top for me!

It is a great location for a large group or work event. They host private events as I have had job events here and they have tons of meat options to meet your tastebuds. They have turkey, brisket, pulled pork, and torpedos which are stuffed jalapeños with bacon and stuffed with chicken or brisket, your choice. They have sides and okay desserts like banana cream pie. They have indoor and outdoor seating so if the weather is nice then opt to sit outside!

This is a great local place to visit when you're craving BBQ. My favorite part of dining at Ten50 BBQ is the big smokers outside... right when you walk up you can smell the smokey deliciousness coming from the pit! You start by picking out your meat then head inside for sides and dessert (you can pick out whatever on your tray before checking out). They have both an indoor and outdoor seating area - it's so nice to eat outside when the weather is nice. Here is what I tried when i visited and how I would rate: - Potato salad (6/10) - Brisket (7/10) - Yeast roll (8/10) - Torpedo w/ chicken (8/10) Overall, the BBQ wasn't my favorite but it was tasty. My brisket was fatty, yet dry and I prefer a more classic potato salad (versus loaded with bacon, eggs, etc.). I did enjoy the torpedo which was a bacon wrapped jalapeno with extra goodness inside like smoked chicken and cheese. Great flavor and spiciness!

Huge place with decent food. My sliced brisket was dry but had decent flavor. The fried okra had more of a cornmeal batter and was not my fav. The banana pudding has real bananas in it which I liked. The employees were not overly friendly but got us what we needed. Bottom line is this ... if I worked in the area I'd come for lunch but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here.

Fair to middling. Mac and Cheese was really good but meats let this place down. Atmosphere was nice and clean staff was friendly.

One of the better bbq spots I have tried. Classic Texas bbq! The St.Louis style ribs were some of the best I have had. Fall-off the bone tender with the perfectly seasoned and sauces. Texas torpedo was delicious and the brisket had great bark and nice smoke flavor. Slaw was amazing and green beans were solid. Great ambiance. Easily one of the top 10 bbq joints I have been to. Surprised it is not rated higher. Can't wait to come back!

Central TX resident visiting Dallas. This is the BEST BBQ around. Split the brisket, pork ribs, turkey, & beef rib with my friends. It was amazing. Best brisket I've had in Dallas, bar none. Loved the ambience, line moved & finding seating easy a problem even at noon on a Sunday. Was awesome to see the pit masters load up the smokers while we waited in line. Come for the show, stay for the food

Came here on a Tuesday for lunch. Accessibility- there is both handicap parking and wheelchair accessibility Service- first you get in line for your meats. Then you get a tray for all your sides. Food- we were a group of 9. We ordered: -Brisket: nice bark and good smoke ring. Try to ask more of the fatty portions of the brisket. It's more tender. -Special pork chops (not on the menu): juicy and smoked to perfection - House sausage: average - Sides: ----fried okra- was a hit! ----baked beans- good ----green beans- just reminded us of our elementary cafeteria days ----cold slaw- average -----potato salad is good -----Mac & Cheese Return Factor- yes if we're craving for some Texas BBQ

Misa N.

Yelp
Solid BBQ. The sides are just ok but the meat really shines. Favorite by far was the brisket - it was so tender and juicy. Would come back solely for that. Also got fried okra, potato salad, mac and cheese, and rolls for sides. The fried okra was good but not amazing like the reviews made it sound like. Potato salad and mac and cheese were solid. The rolls were so good, slightly sweet and buttery. Would come back just for the rolls and brisket. They have indoors and outdoors seating, so we sat outdoors as the weather was nice.

Rebecca F.

Yelp
Came here for my husbands reunion. Our meal was set up as buffet style with brisket, pulled pork, turkey, all very moist, even the pulled pork. I'm not a fan of pulled pork because its usually dry, but their was very good and sides. Everything was delicious, and the young ladies that were serving us were so friendly. Would definitely recommend it.

When we got there, everything was nice. It's quite spacious and open spaced. There was no one there so we were able to get our food quickly. The line was easy to go through, we got our meats then sides. I got a loaded potato with brisket and jalapeño sausage, and my family member got ribs and brisket. For sides we both got Mac n cheese and a roll. Dessert was banana pudding. Starting off with the potato, it was EHHH, really needed butter, the brisket gave it no extra flavor, it was also a SMALL potato (spring creek gives bigger potatoes) I was not impressed with that loaded potato, I only liked the house bbq the other one was way to vinegary for my taste but I have had better bbq sauces. The jalapeño sausage was nothing special, it was okay. My family member also was not impressed, said the ribs were okay and the brisket was DRY. Mac cheese was good, rolls were also good, just didn't like that I had to pay .75 per roll, banana pudding was basic, I was expecting more and the were not even close to netting my expectations. Overall it's not a bad place, okay food, but honestly I was expecting it to be better. Paid $65 for everything My plate Loaded potato (brisket) Jalapeño sausage Mac n cheese & roll Water Other plate Ribs Brisket Mac n cheese Soda Banana pudding

I went here for an early dinner on Friday with coworkers and found this bbq place to be tasty, well staffed and reasonably priced. Im new ro TX so i have limited experience with bbq but i was happy with my food and so was everyone in my party. It it interesting how you start outside with the meats then make your way inside and through the sides, desserts, drinks. I ordered a pulled pork sandwich and a side of mac n cheese so didnt get to try much but i enjoyed my food and had leftovers to bring home. Everyone was very friendly and attentive. I really liked the decir- it was simple and Clean. Will definitely come here again, i need to try more items on the menu. I think i was most impressed with the attentiveness of the workers, granted it was pretty quiet bc we were so early, but it was still really nice.

Ten50 is a solid BBQ spot in Dallas. The property is super spacious and you can get a good view of all the smokers where the magic happens. Don't miss out on the St. Louis Pork Ribs, the Brisket, and the Mac n' Cheese. The indoor area is big and clean, perfect for big groups. Not sure if it's my favorite BBQ joint in Dallas, but it's up there.

Cher Y.

Yelp
Our local friend recommends this bbq spot. I must say it is one of the best bbq we had for a long time. It beats those famous spots in Austin. The briskets are so flavorful and tender of course. Chicken is juicy! You can literally eat the bones too. Yes the slaw is sugar free! You got to live that. The only thing I would say not good is the salad. No decent dressing whatsoever.

Anthony D.

Yelp
Fried okra and sausage were good. The pork ribs were terrible. I ordered 1/2 lbs and got 4 bones. 2 bones were just that, bones. Had little to no meat on them and the meat that was on them was burnt. Inedible. The other 2 were fatty and not tasty at all. I am a Texas native (Austin) and I hold BBQ to a very high standard and it's unfortunate that this place has twice been disappointing. Still on the hunt for great ribs in Dallas. Would not recommend this place. Still wish this place the best of luck going forward.

Some of the best key lime pie I've had in all of Texas. I really enjoy this bbq joint. It's a little pricey, but you get a good amount of food for your buck, and it's always worth it.

From the moment you walk up, you'll be greeted by the aroma of mouthwatering smoked meats and the warm, rustic ambiance of the restaurant. The long wood tables create a prefect dining experience for enjoying a meal with friends and family. But it's the food that truly steals the show. The brisket is cooked to perfection, with a smoky flavor and tender, juicy texture that practically melts in your mouth. The half chicken is equally impressive, with crispy skin and moist, flavorful meat, the seasoning is a tad spicy though. And let's not forget about the sides! The Mac and cheese is rich and creamy, with just the right amount of cheesiness. The fried okra is crispy and addictive, but I could only eat so much. The fries are perfectly seasoned and cooked to a golden brown. And the yeast rolls, they're so good, you'll want to take a few home with you. The BBQ sauces are truly amazing as well. Overall, Ten50 is a must-visit for anyone who loves smoked meats and Southern-style comfort food. The food is delicious and the welcoming atmosphere makes for a enjoyable dining experience.

I just ate here with my family, and I cannot describe how absolutely, god-awful the food was. Who is posting the reviews for all these Texas bbq places? To be honest, I am a little angry after eating here and feel like the food I ate was fraudulent. The brisket was so tough and dry it can break a wooden table. I made a few videos banging the brisket on the table that I may upload to yelp at a later date. My sons love bbq brisket meat but could not eat the food as they complained about how difficult it was for them to chew the meat. The bbq sauce tastes like ketchup. This is the second time I've ate food from here. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.... The fried okra was the only positive. I've ate at about 20 different bbq places in Texas now and am confused as to how people down here think this is good food or acceptable; is everybody in Texas under a spell?

First time at Ten50 BBQ and was very glad I went. Barbecue was excellent!!! Both the pork and brisket selections were tender and very tasty. Service was good. The atmosphere was rustic and country. The restaurant has inside and outside seating. I will definitely go again!!!

Some of the best BBQ I've ever had! Great sides, Mac 'N Cheese, Broccoli, delicious rolls, everything!

So, we have been looking forward to trying this place. Unfortunately, we were underwhelmed! It's disappointing to have to give it this review! The brisket was extremely under seasoned and bland, the turkey tasted like lunch meat. The house sausage was decent. The torpedos are around $2.50 each and not bad. The coleslaw has way too much cilantro, and wish they had white bread and not the buttery rolls. The bbq sauces are good when they are combined. The vibe of the place is cool, Maybe will give it another shot, but sadly, we would compare it to Spring Creek. :(

Apryl B.

Love the ambiance! Lots of open seating indoor and outdoor. Great bbq options and ordering is simple. I got brisket, pulled pork, and ribs! Everything was great but, my brisket was a little dry. Overall, great visit!

Came here with a group. We were all raving about the brisket. It's the best brisket I have had in DFW so far. The St. Louis pork ribs are just okay, kind of bland. The brisket is the real star here. As far as sides go, the fries are not crispy enough, but I liked the others. The rolls are great and remind me of Luby's. I'm not much of a coleslaw fan, but I like theirs. The vinaigrette that it's tossed in is light and complements the heavier sides nicely. Can't complain about the mac and cheese or the fried okra either. At $4 per side, it is a little pricey, but for the best barbecue in DFW, it's worth it. The staff is diligent in taking your trays when you're finished. The interior has a cozy, rustic feel, kind of like Bass Pro Shops. This place is great for groups because there are plenty of big tables. We will definitely be back!

Dria T.

Yelp
So glad I stumbled on Ten50! The brisket and pork ribs are so tender and flavorful and the 5 cheese Mac is to die for. I always order takeout but the inside is nice and spacious. It's a real bbq experience here. The service is great and quick. I will definitely be back to try the other menu items but for now, the brisket, pork ribs, and 5 cheese Mac are my recommendations!

Just follow your nose you will find where you order. A group of us went out for a little decompression and boy did it work. I had never had real Texas bbq needle and now I would like to have it every day. The meats are pulled from the warmer, cut and weighed. It is served on a sheet pan to you and inside you will pick out your sides. We had the B Mac and cheese , potato salad, and fried orca. The fried orca has a little spice and flavor to it rather than just plain old ocra. Worth the wait time. The staff was very kind and helpful through our the evening. And advised us that Dr Pepper in Texas just "hits different", and for some reason it does. I don't know why...

Some ups, but more downs. Had always wanted to try this place. Drive by it when im in Dallas and tonight was the night to try it. The parking is different but if you can follow signs you will be fine. It's a big barn basically. The building and grounds are beautiful. Clean, well decorated, and honestly just a nice beautiful building. Got in line and everything a la carte. Not a huge fan of this because I don't know how much I can eat, like with a three meat plate they calculate all that for me. Asked for some moide brisket, got lean, jalapeno sausage, and the ribs. Inside you can pick sides. I went with the brisket beans and potato salad. Now this potato salad was a major up. Probably the best part of the meal. But before we go on, this was expensive. 45 dollars for just me with a water. This much be the best damn bbq on earth, right? Spoiler alert, it isn't. The sausage, it was good. Wasn't spicy at all and kinda forgetful. The brisket wasn't what I wanted and despite it being fresh pulled from the heated fridge, was very dry. The ribs? Also very dry. They have a house and a Carolina sauce. For me, the Carolina was much better. But to each their own here. The beans? Not good at all. The worst part of the dish. But that potato salad was just epic. Maybe i got the wrong meats here? Maybe. Maybe the wrong sides. But honestly the price of everything is the largest deterrent for me to come back. Syoy!

I love this trendy chic treasure! We pull up on one side and it looks rugged and rustic like a refurbished warehouse. As soon as as you enter you see a trendy updated modern establishment. There is a huge smoker and walk up line to place your meat order. Once you have your choice of brisket, ribs, or chicken you walk inside to the air conditioned dining room to choose your sides, rolls, desserts, and beverages. The dining room is large. Great for groups and families. They staff was super friendly. We ordered our food to go and everything came out delicous! We had the mac and cheese. Ooo the cheesy goodness! The baked beans w/ brisket. So good. Ribs: fall off the bone melt in your mouth flavor in every bite amazing! Brisket sandwiches with all the fixins and onion rings. Everything would cause me to plan my next trip to include a stop at Ten50!

It's good and pricey ribs are OK so, pulled pork is delicious, okra and fries little salty for my taste, and corn is so good the atmosphere was good overall is good but not my favorite.

Rachel M.

Don't waste your time on the sides, this place is purely good at the main attraction: the meat. The service is quick and the atmosphere is exactly what you would come to expect from a bbq spot. Overall, I recommend for good Texas BBQ.

Allen T.

Yelp
This place is pretty cool. It has a big open area inside with lots of seating and they also have a covered outdoor area. We came here on a weekday for dinner, plenty of parking outside. Ordered all the usual stuff. The ribs are amazing but I was hoping they would be a bit warmer. House and jalapeños sausages are outstanding with good flavor. Chicken is okay. Brisket is good too. Fried okra is a must try. You ordered upfront and then they serve you right there. I think this is a pretty cool place.

Jennifer B.

Perhaps it was because I was spoiled from the get-go from Cooper's barbecue in Austin Texas, I enjoyed this place but not as much as previously mentioned establishment. It is true that the meat is tender and juicy and quite flavourful as well. The brisket is pull apart delicious and the sausage is bursting with juiciness. But I think I'm just a Cooper's girl and I can't help that. It falls along the lines of your typical barbecue house in Texas. Décor and when you walk in, it smells like smoke meat which is never a bad thing. But there wasn't anything about the décor that really stood out for me that said this place was extremely different. It's located right alongside the highway , so it's easy to get into and out of which is very convenient when you're on a long road trip and you just need some barbecue. Overall, I'm giving it 4 stars because it is really delicious. And I fully admit that I am spoiled. You just gotta come in here and make your own kind of ratings and compared to the rest of texas barbecue places. Everybody has their own criterion for what's good, based on the meat or the barbecue sauces, how thick are they, or runny? How sweet or vinegary? So you're gonna have to decide for yourself, but I would recommend coming in and checking it out. I would have taken photos but I was totally hungry and rode weary. And I completely forgot so for that I'm sorry.

Best brisket I have ever had. I highly recommend only order a half a pound of meat total. I had so much food left over. The mac and cheese was bomb. Next time I am in Dallas Texas I am definitely coming here.

The food was very good from the brisket to the sausage. Very flavorful and moist. The staff was very helpful and nice even we arrived late near their closing.

Robert H.

Yelp
I'm not a barbecue meat fanatic, so the only reason I dined here was because of a business invite. Overall the food was very good, especially the fried okra! I had the brisket, chicken, and a chicken torpedo which is a jalapeño popper shaped like a torpedo, rolled in bacon. The Brisket was tender, very greasy but tasty. The chicken was a bit dry but the torpedo was delicious. I also had onion rings and beans on the side which were both good. The decor is very much Texan bbq cafeteria style. Sloppy eating is totally the norm, so they serve unlimited Napkins on every table. I highly suggest for any barbecue fan, and I'm glad I tried it.

Bill F.

Yelp
It was terable service beans were not barbecue some kind of white bean with chunks of chicken the meat was dry the Cash register was not working the person running it has no xperence. At all by the time we finally got to our seat my meal was total cold no one cared Will not go back ever.

Yelp
Brisket is $32/lb For $32/lb I'm expecting some good brisket. Brisket was very dry, and hard to chew. If I were you I would pay $4 more and go to terry blacks. Other options that are cheaper include hard 8, or Hutchins. I actually thought it was $16/lb, but make sure you read the menu properly. They are showing you the half pound prices. One thing I noticed is that they use the same knife to cut all the different meats. I don't know if that is industry standard, but I definitely think they should be using a different knife for every type of meat. Some people don't eat pork, beef, sausage, etc. (For religious/, dietary reasons.) I did like the outdoor/ indoor seating area. Very disappointed in how dry my meat was. I also did come before noon, so I kind of expected the meat to be fresh. Just disappointed honestly. Spent $40 including tax for dry meat. If you squeezed it no juice would come out. I was hoping mine was just a fluke, and I could get the meat replaced, but saw a lot of people comment the same thing. If they were charging $16/lb I probably wouldn't even write a review tbh. But $32/lb, I don't know. For how much you're spending, I think you should take your money elsewhere.

Ten50 is easily the best BBQ I've had in Dallas. It's in a really cool renovated industrial building in an up and coming neighborhood north of Dallas. I'm not a huge fan of cafeteria style service but I can look passed it because the food was incredible. Don't sleep on the brisket torpedoes, fried okra, or Mac and cheese, they're incredible. Their brisket in general was amazing with perfect charring and seasoning. And unlike Terry Blacks, their meat was legitimately smoked and not just covered in artificial smoke flavoring. I also really enjoyed their jalapeño cheddar sausage, perfect texture and not overly spicy. I'd say skip the cold sides, we tried the coleslaw and potato salad but both fell short. I would complain that they needed more sauce options but who the heck puts bbq sauce on brisket this perfect?? The Carolina sauce had a nice apple cider vinegar flavor which would go perfect on some pulled pork. Definitely check ten50 out, I can't wait to go back.

I have not been back to Ten50 BBQ in years and decided today I really wanted to have some great BBQ, eat somewhere different, and sit down and have a beer at a bar. I usually swing by Spring Creek BBQ for pick up but didn't want to be around a bunch of loud kids today during a dine-in meal. I fully expected to pay top dollar at Ten50 BBQ so that was no big deal. I walked up to the meats area outside, took in the wonderful aroma of the smoked meats and chose a 1/2 pound of ribs (1/4 pound for dining and 1/4 pound for home), 1/4 pound sausage for home, 1/4 pound brisket for dining and home, baked beans and lots of House BBQ for $35. I sat down at the bar to eat and got a mug of honey beer. I forget the name but it was fantastic and it had the perfect balance of flavor to go with my meal. The nice thing about Ten50 is that the place is HUGE and you can always find a spot away from noisy groups. A 1/4 pound of ribs, a few small slices of brisket with lots of sauce and a side of their amazing baked beans made for a delicious meal and I have enough left over for another meal at home. Ten50 still does not disappoint but don't complain if you think you spent too much. For the quality meats and sides (which you can sample first) you're going to spend a lot, but it's totally worth it IMO. Also, don't feel like you are limited to their menu and have to get a 1/2 pound of their meats. Get a 1/4 pound of the ones you want or one rib or whatever and they will price accordingly. As far as the sides go, you can also get samples to taste first. I tried the potato salad but said no and was all in on the baked beans which has bits of meat and an amazing flavor. The only thing that is free is the BBQ sauce, so I loaded up on that. I'm a house BBQ fan as the Carolina BBQ sauce is a bit too vinegary. Great BBQ, ambiance, and beer in Richardson. What more could you ask for? Ten50 continues to delight me for all the right reasons. I feel like I'm in a five star steakhouse but I'm being served BBQ which I'll take over a steak any day.

The banana pudding sucks taste before you buy. Torpedos mostly taste like charcoal. Really could have done so much better with those. The brisket was good, nice and tender more than usual. In general, I like Carolina sauce, but I couldn't taste it after soaking my pulled pork sandwich with it. Deep South sauces have a string vinegar and mustard taste to them which I love but this sauce didn't come close to that. Yeast rolls store bought so may as well save money with that. Lime pie. Come on, get a recipe from cotton country cook book - tart and sweet is they way to make lemon and lime pies

This is a great place to stop and eat. Some of the best BBQ I've ever had. You must try the stuffed jalapeño peppers. Very clean restaurant and helpful staff.

I'm from SoCal, and let me tell you NOTHING comes close to the taste of Texas BBQ~!!! Ohh myyy, the aroma was so delightful when my boyfriend and I parked our car, the smell of fresh smoked brisket, the long line of customers, it's truly worth the wait! There was live music playing outside while we were waiting so it wasn't so bad, while standing in the heat. When it finally came to our turn, we didn't know what to order, other than almost a little bit of everything! We also paired our food with beer and the mango margaritas, everything here was so tasty, we don't have this in Cali, but I wish we did~!! Come to Ten50 BBQ, it's definitely the TX spot for the right taste of mouth watering brisket, ribs, chicken & more~~!!!!

Ordered baked potato it was cold as ice. My wife ordered brisket. Tough. Being a barbecue place in Texas you have to step up to the plate with good food. Perhaps this was a one time only mistake but not sure I would try it again. I'll stick to my to go place in Richardson that been here for 20+ years

DELICIOUS!!! I highly recommend this place. Was in Dallas on 2 day business trip, I ate here both days. I eat BBQ in all the great cities known for it while traveling and the food here ranks in top 3 for me. Really good!! I'll be back! The interior is very nice as well. Great vibe and they have a fully stocked bar with a nice selection of bourbons.

We enjoyed the brisket and pork ribs on a recent weekday evening. There was no line so we walked through without a wait, except for the French fries cooked after we ordered them. Beef ribs are only available on specific days of the week. If you prefer these, call the restaurant to check on their availability. The restaurant had very few customers at the time we visited leaving many empty tables inside. Overall we had a good experience.

5/16/23: Went with a friend for lunch. He had been here before and it was my first time. There was plenty of parking, and we walked in through the outdoor patio area. The patio led us to the area where we ordered meats, in an outdoor covered area. It was busy, but the line was moving quickly. Meats are priced per 1/2 pound. There was a nice variety of meats and they also have baked potatoes and grilled corn on the cob. They have brisket, chicken, pork ribs and sausage. Once you order the meats, you get it on a tray, and go inside to order sides. They have hot and cold sides. The biscuits were really good. My order of okra was shareable. It was brought to me and was piping hot and good. There was plenty of seating outdoors, as well as indoors. There was a nice size bar and an area for private functions. The bar is well stocked. Very nice décor to go with the BBQ theme. It can be pricy, but the food is good. We spent almost $50 for two, which included one beer and a fountain drink.

In the area and went here on a recommendation from our local office. Nice friendly and clean atmosphere with plenty of seating. Was hoping to get the beef rib, but unfortunately I was there in a Thursday and they only carry it on Saturdays. Ordered the brisket point, key lime pie and some bacon wrapped jalapeños that they call torpedoes. Brisket was pretty good, but not super moist. Granted it was near the end of the day, so maybe it had dried out a bit. I prefer Lockhart's and Pecan Lodge to here. The jalapeños were just ok... a bit too salty. Key lime pie was also just ok. The filling and whipped cream frosting was pretty good, but the crust tasted a bit floury or undercooked, it sure, but did t eat the crust after the first couple of bites. They seem to serve by the half pound here (as opposed to a fraction of a half pound) which made it a bit expensive. When I ordered a half pound it looked a bit light so I asked for just a bit more and basically cut another half pound (basically doubling the cost) so the bill for everything including tip and mineral water was $52 for one person. I did however leftovers which made for a tasty snack the next day! Definitely a nice place to go for bbq and one to keep on my list.

This place is decent it's a definite step up from Spring Creek BBQ and Dickeys. I liked how clean and rustic the place is. I enjoyed the southern vibes. My family and I ordered 3 pounds of beef brisket and a half a chicken. The beef brisket was good and so was the chicken. We ordered a couple of sides such as onion rings, coleslaw, Mac and cheese, fries and a salad. They were all good. For the price you pay it was ridiculous that I had to use a butter knife to cut my $110 meal with. I mean to cut my brisket to use a butter knife was super cheap. I couldn't even cut my meat properly as the butter knife kept slipping . There has to be a steak knife if your charging Fogo De Chao prices. Anyways the experience is good, for me I would go once only to try it out. Overall experience was decent, except for the butter knife utensils and not steak knifes.

Every time I travel to Texas I make it a point to stop by here. It's sort of now a work tradition to take the team out to this spot. I am very pleased with this place as the food is always consistent. Some of the best bbq I have ever had. On this most recent trip, I was sad to not see the beef ribs which in the past has always been available. The other food was very tasty and made up for it. I ordered the 1/2 pound of brisket for $13 and half a chicken to share. As for the sides, I got the mac and cheese, coleslaw, and jalapeños and pickles. Their house bbq sauce is tasty. I am not a fan of the vinegar based sauce but that's just my personal preference. I've noticed people are having issues with the price of this place but coming from Virginia, this food is quite inexpensive! I wish they had these prices where I am from for the quality of food people are receiving. Overall, I recommend you try the food here. It won't disappoint!

I enjoyed the barbecue but did not think it was as good as the Houston BBQ places I frequent. I was a little underwhelmed, and it was pricey. Now it still is a good option for a group, people visiting town, etc; however; I would try another Dallas area BBQ spot before I'd consider coming back here.
