Why go
Ten50 BBQ is the Richardson pick for a casual group meal when convenience and a relaxed Texas barbecue format matter more than formal service. Go for lunch or early dinner if conversation matters; choose a full-service peer like Wildwood CityLine or Another Time & Place Grille for a more composed special occasion.
About Ten50 BBQ
For a low-friction meal in Richardson, Ten50 BBQ has a casual dress code and daily hours that begin at 10:50 AM. That makes timing direct for people comparing it with other dining options. For details about service style, seating, reservations, menu, pricing, or group accommodations, check with the restaurant before making plans.
The practical appeal is simple: Ten50 BBQ is a Richardson venue with casual dress and posted hours every day. If you are choosing for a meal where atmosphere, service format, or menu details matter, confirm those directly before making plans. If the event needs a different kind of dining experience, compare it against Wildwood CityLine or Another Time & Place Grille instead.
Consider it for casual plans, and check group details

Timing matters more than planning far ahead
Ten50 BBQ's hours are 10:50 AM–9 PM Monday through Thursday, 10:50 AM–10 PM Friday and Saturday, and 10:50 AM–9 PM Sunday. Those hours give diners multiple windows to consider during the day and evening. For availability, wait times, and reservation policies, check directly before you go.

For another comparison, Jeng Chi Restaurant, Russo's NY Coal-Fired Pizza, or Pineda's Mexican Cuisine may also be worth checking.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Ten50 BBQ reads as straightforward and product-driven: no-frills in name and approach, it leans on smoke and slow-cooked meat rather than décor or branding. The writing emphasizes the sensory arrival of post-oak or hickory char — 'the smell arrives first' — so the room feels defined by its food rather than froufrou touches. Its Central Expressway location brings a pragmatic, neighborhood energy: a working-lunch pulse during weekdays and a more relaxed weekend crowd. That mix keeps the place casual and warm, a plainspoken Texas barbecue joint that lets brisket and ribs set the tone.
Best For
Ten50 BBQ is best suited to midday visits and casual gatherings. The profile highlights heavy lunch traffic from nearby office parks and residences and notes how the barbecue format 'fits the rhythm of the midday rush,' so it's an easy pick for coworkers, families and groups seeking hearty, shareable plates. Weekend service settles into a slower, more substantial meal pace, making it a comfortable spot for low-key family dinners or group orders. The restaurant’s focus on staple Texas barbecue — brisket, pork ribs and comforting sides — underlines its appeal for straightforward, crowd-pleasing meals.
Ordering Tips
Expect a product-forward experience: order confidently from the signature proteins and share sides. The description lists Ten50’s standouts (USDA Prime Brisket, Heritage Duroc Pork Ribs, Five Cheese Mac, Jalapeño Poppers, Banana Pudding), so plan family-style plates to sample a few. Because the operation is described around counter-service and the midday rush, visit a little before peak lunch hours if you want to avoid a line, or be ready to queue for quick pickup. Keep orders simple and centered on smoked meats — that’s the point of the house.

Restaurant context
Ten50 BBQ is the easier call for a casual Richardson group that wants barbecue and flexible timing. Compared with Jeng Chi Restaurant, it is less about a paced sit-down meal and more about a relaxed, food-first outing. Choose Jeng Chi when shared Chinese dishes and a more restaurant-like rhythm suit the table better.
Russo's NY Coal-Fired Pizza and Pineda's Mexican Cuisine are the stronger alternatives when the group wants pizza or Mexican food rather than barbecue. They are practical cross-shops for families or mixed-preference groups, especially when barbecue feels too specific for the occasion.
For ambiance and a more composed dinner, Wildwood CityLine and Another Time & Place Grille are safer picks. Ten50 BBQ is better for easy booking and casual energy; those peers are better when service style and a seated occasion matter more.
