More than 10 years after Ten50 BBQ opened beside Central Expressway in Richardson, it will expand to the Devonshire neighborhood of Dallas, near Love Field Airport.
The second Ten50 BBQ in Dallas-Fort Worth is expected to open May 12 on Lovers Lane, between Inwood Road and the Dallas North Tollway.
It takes the place of Sonny Bryan’s, which served chopped beef sandwiches in this neighborhood for 23 years. (Don’t sweat the history: The original Sonny Bryan’s, which dates to 1958 and is one of D-FW’s oldest restaurants, remains open a few miles away on Inwood Road.)
Ten50’s aim is to offer “simple ingredients, high-quality meats and a welcoming space,” said co-owner Preston Evans in a statement.
Ten50 serves Texas-style barbecue like smoked brisket and turkey with sides that include brisket beans, macaroni and cheese, cornbread and fried okra. One of its signature snacks is Torpedoes, a play on the traditional bar snack, jalapeño poppers. Theirs come stuffed with brisket or chicken and wrapped in bacon.
The restaurant has a full bar, which can be rare at a barbecue joint.
Ten50 BBQ is expected to open May 12 at 5519 W. Lovers Lane, Dallas. The original remains at 1050 N. Central Expressway, Richardson.
