Ambiance: Parking may pose some difficulty due to the presence of multiple businesses nearby. Upon entering, I was welcomed by the hostess; however, the loud music from the DJ made it challenging to communicate effectively. The entry doors remained open, which raised concerns about potential insects affecting the dining experience. Service: The staff provided a warm welcome, and our server, China, demonstrated excellent hospitality and attentiveness, readily answering all questions. Communication was somewhat impeded by the volume of the music. Additionally, I noticed that silverware and napkins were not offered prior to the meal being served. Food: I ordered wings as an appetizer and needed to request additional napkins, as well as plates suitable for sharing for which I thought this would be a standard process without asking. The margarita was served in a plastic cup rather than glassware, which was unexpected. My pasta entrée was flavorful, and the salmon shrimp Oscar was equally enjoyable. It was concerning that, although my reservation was at 8 p.m., the restaurant had already run out of sautéed cabbage, an item on the menu. I would appreciate advance notification from staff regarding unavailable dishes. Overall, the quality of food and beverages was commendable. Overall: While the restaurant offers excellent cuisine, the loud music significantly limits opportunities for conversation during dinner. I recommend this establishment to those seeking good food, but not to those looking for a quiet dining environment. There are both advantages and challenges associated with this venue, and I hope the team continued success in the future.

Initially, we thought the place was closed until we observed all the cool patrons parked on the other side and entered through the back. The mentions from other reviewers about the heavy smoke smell are indeed accurate. If you find it intolerable or would rather avoid it, this might not be the ideal spot for you. On the positive side, the bartender was incredibly friendly and sweet--a true grandmotherly figure who takes care of her patrons.

The vibe was nice. You must make a reservation! This is what I enjoyed: Side of Lamb chops: 10/10 tender, meaty, nice smoky and sweet flavor, well seasoned. Side of Mac and cheese: 6/10 a bit dry, needs a bit more seasoning, if both of these things were not an issue it would be perfect. Oxtails and jollof rice: 10/10 oxtails were full of flavor and enjoyable. They could have been a bit more tender. Overall the flavor carried it to a perfect 10. The rice is seasoned and a bit smokey and cooked to the perfect doneness. Table bread: 9/10 puff puff style bread. They were fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Brought out first and provided with every meal. It had a sweet seasoning mix on it. The mix to me was more for after dinner instead of right before the meal. Dusse mimosa: 10/10 nice and stout. I prefer Dusse over Hennessy which is what was on the menu. Jerk chicken: 10/10 flavorful wings. Jerk seasoning was there and not too spicy. Cooked just right and not dry. Collard greens: 6/10 savory flavor. I am a collard greens specialist and I prefer a sweet and hot profile. Although these are just savory they were cooked to the correct tenderness. Candied yams: 10/10 get blend of cinnamon and sweet flavor. Cooked perfectly.

Our server was great but she was handling many tables! Drinks: Sidecar (5/5) got two of them!! Food: They start you with complimentary beignet style puffs..eh these are alright...very greasy. We split the Oxtail spring rolls (3.5/5), collard green egg rolls (4/5), Catfish & Grits (just a tad salty but good... 4.5/5), Oxtail & Grits (no real Jamaican flavor 2.5/5), Mac & Cheese (literally taste like noodles and cardboard box 0/5), Collard Greens (very salty and interesting flavor (3/5), Yams (4/5) Hostess: Seemed like she had an attitude and not personable AT ALL. I also watched her rub her bare feet at the host stand. Plenty of parking!

Lol hookahs are very reasonable priced, however, the hookah was not good...at all. From the time one of our hookahs got to our table, there was something wrong with it. We kept telling the server but she wouldn't take it back, she would just try to fix it and it still was not working. The other hookah was pulling great for about 8 minutes and then it started smoking really bad and harsh. Hookah should not be doing that after that short amount of time. I'm giving 3 stars due to the hookah being undesirable and a cover at the door. But the atmosphere was lit and overall had a good time. I wouldn't recommend the hookah though. @MissMo2323

This, my friends, is my definition of Heaven. :-D Though I've visited Ten50 quite a few times before, I only noticed Renegade on this latest trip to see the Total Solar Eclipse. So I grab a Lyft from my hotel and book on down the road to Renegade and was blown away when I walked in. Their walk-in humidor is easily one of the biggest (if not THE biggest) ones I've ever seen on this planet. Their selection is great and their prices are even better! I basically spoiled myself on Padron Anniversarios every time I visited. There's a nice big seating area with comfy leather chairs, and the regulars welcomed me with that mythical Texas hospitality. I felt like a regular less than 2 minutes after sitting down! Not less than an hour into chatting, the regulars invited me to hang out with them in the parking lot to watch the solar eclipse the next day, too! Now how can I say no to that? :-D It was absolutely magical enjoying a Padron Anniversario during a total solar eclipse with Boston's "More Than A Feeling" blasting from an amazing Mercedes sedan sound system! The best part? Since I usually make visits down to Richardson every September, I now know where to hang out during the day. GO HERE!

For about $13, you get unlimited free play all day, making it an excellent value. The arcade is a little smaller than some of the other Free Play locations, but it's packed with classic games from the '80s, '90s, and early 2000s, along with a nice selection of pinball machines. There's a full-service bar and food menu. I didn't try the food, but the drinks were reasonably priced. My only complaint is that there aren't many places to set down a drink while playing, so it can feel a bit cramped when it's busy. The arcade is tucked away in an older shopping center, so it's easy to miss if you aren't looking for it. Even with the Father's Day crowd, the staff stayed busy while remaining friendly and the restrooms were clean. Overall, it's a fun and affordable place to spend a few hours, whether you're reliving your childhood or introducing someone else to classic arcade games.

There are a variety of games- PacMan, a foosball like hockey game, racing games, pinball, frogger, shooting games, old classics like Fix-it-Felix, DDR, shooting hoops, skee ball and more! It's relatively clean and employees come help is something is glitchy or a ball is stuck in the basketball game, for example. They play music at an appropriate volume (this place is way less deafening than cidercade, and less crowded too!). I've never had food/ alcohol here so can't speak to that. It's definitely a great place to go, especially with a buddy, to get competitive and just unwind a little! My only complaint- the arrows in DDR are not very sensitive and tend to stick a little on their machines. It's very hard to adjust the initial difficulty level because the DOWN arrow on both sides of their machine is so not-receptive to touch you have to jump on it with intense force to move it from basic to more difficult. I'm actually pretty good at DDR and kept getting BOOS from arrows I was hitting. So just don't come here specifically for a DDR marathon and you won't be disappointed. Everything else was in good working order!
