X-Perience Restaurant & Cocktails

We came in on a Saturday morning and received great service from our bartender as we sat at the bar. Multiple people checked in with us to make sure we were doing ok and if we needed anything.The place was very elegant and cute! Definitely would be great to take pictures in!Both drinks were delicious! I would get either of them again! They were perfect. They even have infused drinks! I didn't try the steak and eggs my friend ordered them! The gravy was delicious and I'm glad I got it on the side so I can actually dip my biscuit and chicken in it! The actual chicken and eggs didn't have much flavor! I was expecting some good tasty flavors on the chicken. It was very crunchy but not much flavor. I just added salt and pepper to the eggs!I will come back to give it another try

I struggled with giving them a 3 because I enjoyed myself and the food was good but let's start with the good things. Bad things start at #31. Waitress Nia was very attentive and kind. There was also a slender lady who walked around checking on guests regularly with a smile. She was very knowledgeable of the menu and made recommendations. The atmosphere is OK. I was uncertain if it was beach themed or not. The DJ was playing good music. They got busy pretty quickly and their crowd was nice. Nothing too rowdy or problematic. My type of people to be around. 2. Food was delicious. I got the loaded grits and my girlfriend got steak and eggs with waffles she enjoyed hers. I ordered biscuits with mine and they make a good biscuit! Reminds me of the frozen Pillsbury buttermilk biscuits. I had a Crown Royal drink similar to a French 75 but it was served in a bowl like glass. It was good! 3. We arrived about ten minutes before our 12:30PM reservation. We were the first customer. The hostess (didn't get her name, she was a larger woman with long hair) asked my very pregnant friend if she would be able to sit at the high table. My friend said no and the hostess hesitated looked around like they didn't have space to accommodate us. We were both worried that we would be put up high because of how long it took her to pick a table for us. She did sit us at a low table. 4. They were cleaning up when we were seated. they open at 12PM and were still cleaning when we arrived and for several minutes after we were seated. It's obvious last night's staff didn't clean the before closing. I'm talking multiple employees sweeping the floor, wiping tables, preparing place settings, etc. 5. The hostess never provided us with menus or mentioned a QR code. She just abruptly came to our table several minutes after seating us with her phone out with a QR code displayed. My friend and I both scanned it as we realized this was her way of giving us the menu. It would've been nice to hear something like "Our menu can be accessed with this QR code" or something! It was awkward. She wasn't aggressive or seemed like she had a bad attitude. The silent phone presenting was just very awkward. If the QR code was on the table we would've gladly scanned it without being prompted or requested as this is the day and age of QR code menus. 6. You don't get flat wear sets here. You get a fork wrapped in a cloth napkin. We ordered steak and lamb chops. We had to request knives. We were brought tined butter knives. Yes, butter knives for grilled red meat. We had to put in work to cut our meat. 7. The bathroom was disgusting. Again, it seemed as if they didn't clean up the night before and never looked at the bathroom. We were the first guests. The first stall was dirty so I went to the next one. There was vomit and toilet paper all in the toilet. Like full!!! Dried vomit on the toilet. I was so grossed out I drove to Cava to use their restroom. 8. We requested A1 sauce. They clearly water it down. The A1 sauce was so loose that it dripped off my meat before it made it to my mouth. It was served in a plastic to go cup. So was the syrup. They gave small amounts too. Look at my food pic, you'll see that small amount of syrup for all of those waffles. The plastic to go container also decreased the presentation of the waffles. 9. They have a professional photographer who tells you to smile and flicks away. You have no clue what the images are for until he later approaches your table with framed photos that he just took of you attempting to sell the 4x6 images for $20/pic. Would I come back? Yes, because I believe these are challenges they can quickly fix. Cleaning up the night before, advising their hostesses to be more welcoming to staff, give full flat wear sets or include steak knives with steak, and provide A1 sauce without adding water. Tell the photographer to inform guests why he's taking their picture. We would've tipped him to take those same images with our phones as we upload on social media. I hope X-Perience takes this as recommendations and not slander because aside from the challenges I noted we did have a good time. I wanted to give a four but the experience wouldn't allow me to. If I return I'm hopeful things will improve.

Very trendy spot with great R&B music. I went on a Saturday night with my friends and same had a great time singing karaoke! The food was seasoned well and the DJ was hitting! Definitely won't disappoint!

Tried X-Perience Restaurant a few weeks ago with my friends for TACO TUESDAY special. $1 Street tacos, $2 Birra tacos, $2 Margaritas The restaurant has a great atmosphere and very cute decor. R&B hits playing the whole time. The street tacos were good. The meat was seasoned very well. I wasn't fan of the birra tacos but my friends enjoyed them. You can't beat those low prices. The server was nice but she did mess up our drink order. She tried to go give me a blueberry margarita with watermelon flavor, added on top to fix it. I didn't feel like complaining since it's a $2 margarita and it wasn't the worst. I am definitely coming back for the street tacos. Super surprised this place isn't packed on Tuesday with those prices.

3 star experience for me- but would return for another shot. Pros: Parking - there's plenty of it in the lot outside the restaurant. And it's free. Server- Nathan was attentive and friendly Vibes- the music was on point! Crowd- good vibes all around during brunch. Spacious and everyone seemed to be having a great time. Menu- good variety to choose from. Access- We didn't have to make reservations. Just show up and get seated. $8 for the blueberry lemon drop. Watery. $14 for the crab cake - honestly, compared to where I usually get crab cakes, despite the size it's cheaper than most. $4 for the side of grits. They were well seasoned. The DJ started off with R&B (what I believe was promoted- it was the reason we showed up). He played the Tamia Line Dance -- some Beyoncé-- then it got a little less r&b and a little more hood. We stayed for an hour and some change and left. Cons: My lemon drop tasted like lemonade water. That's my go to drink, and I bartend at home as well, and I'll never have to have that again. It was a short pour, too. Credit card charges- 3% upcharge for using a credit card. I didn't know that. It *may* be on the menu, somewhere, though. I doubt it. Automatic 15% gratuity "for parties 1 or larger" so on ALL tickets. This shorts the server, b u t I get it. Sometimes people don't tip. I tipped him extra because 15% wasn't much on my bill.

Came here for dinner with friends! It was pretty packed on a Friday night. Service was pretty good at the beginning but became sparse are time went on. This place lowkey became a club around 10! The DJ was really good and has everyone's attention. The bathrooms could use some maintenance. We opted for finger foods. The jerky sliders were spicy and flavorful. The wings were perfectlyFried and flavorful. My drink was a spin off of the French 75 and was very strong. I only got one and definitely felt it! We played uno which was alot of fun! Our hookah was good also.I would definitely return

I really like X-Perience! I've been here a few times and it's always a nice vibe and the food is pretty good. The service can be a bit hit or miss however. The first time I came was on a Saturday with a friend for karaoke (really great spot for karaoke by the way), and our waitress was great. The next time was on a Thursday with a couple friends and our waitress that night was friendly but our waitress kept forgetting to bring us things we ordered. The last time I came was again on a Thursday and our waitress that night was HORRIBLE. She wasn't just unfriendly, she was bordering on rude. That being said, she didn't forget anything at least, but still what's with the inconsistency?The food here is pretty good, some items are better than others. The cajun/creole pasta is really good and has a great price. The last time I came, I just ordered sides: the mac and cheese, the greens, and the candied yams, and I really liked all three! They all had great flavor and were filling.The drinks are always pretty good here and I love that this place has live music. Thursdays have live music and Saturday has karaoke, which was a lot of fun. If you're looking for a low key place with good food, drinks, and music, put X-Perience on your list.

Had a great time the food was on point, Went on a Sunday , they serve brunch on the weekend

One thing about X-Perience...they're consistent with providing a VIBE, but know that every time you're going to get slow and poor service LOL. So if you're coming here to eat & it's even 1/2 packed, expect to wait at least 15 minutes to be greeted, 10-15 before you get the drink you ordered & another 40+ for your food (provided they don't forget to call your order in the first place). The first time I came here was in 03/2024 for a birthday party. I ordered a strawberry lemon drop & oxtails for the entree (w/two sides). The drink was regular, nothing special but the food was good - meat was nice & tender although quite spicy. I also have to admit their collard greens are up there for best in DFW. The only dish that could've used some seasoning was the macaroni. At a certain point in the night they opened the floor for karaoke, which I thought was cool - a way for the us to set the tone and break the ice to connect with everyone in the room. If the audio works, you'll hear one of the beautiful serenades from a woman that was at the bar (shocked us all when she opened her mouth). The most recent visit was this month was for brunch. I would've ordered the lamb chops and grits but $30 is a bit steep for only three lamb chops, especially when you can buy a whole New Zealand rack (8-10 pcs) for that price . I did try to order the deviled eggs & an espresso martini instead, but I never got the deviled eggs and they didn't have the ingredients to make the espresso...??? So I settled for another strawberry martini. Overall I think this is a cool spot that has a lot of potential to be one of the better places to go & socialize in Dallas. It's just some things in terms of their service that I know can be better.

My Matron of Honor through my engagement party here with a part of 16. We felt the love as soon as wel walked in. We received two rounds of free shots, fast service, and good food! I'd definitely recommend the catfish and chicken. The only issue is their brunch menu lasts until 4pm! I would've loved additional items that late in the day. Despite that we loved the dj, service was steady, and we really had a good time! Thank yall for having us! We definitely reccomend.
