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.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0 - 1877144Jan 27, 2024
There's lots of parking which is always a good thing for me.
My server had a lot to do obviously cause randomly in the middle of us looking over the menu to tell him what we wanted he just walked off and disappeared
The Dj is straight.. it got a little boring after awhile.
My biggest take away was that brunch is from the time they open omw Saturday until 5p and I was there ready to eat lunch/dinner around 4p. In the end we just got some BS appetizers and kept it pushing.. but honestly I wish we never would have went.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 18105232Mar 19, 2024
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 perfectly
Fried 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 returnHelpful 1Thanks 1Love this 2Oh no 0 - LaShundra W.Little Elm, TX6263447Apr 28, 20241 check-in
Kisses to the mf'n chef and bar tenders! I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I walked in, but this place is a vibe!! The food was absolutely amazing! Drinks on point! DJ kept the day party jumping! And if you're a hookah smoker, they have that too!! My friends and I truly had a great time and will be back!

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.

Me and a group of friends went here on a Friday for game night and they did not disappoint. The wings were perfectly cooked and seasoned. The jerk sliders were just as good, maybe put on the menu the heat level my Fiance wasn't ready for the spiciness of the sliders. The drinks were strong and you definitely tasted that which isn't a good thing. A drink should have potency but, one shouldn't necessarily taste it. The service started out really good but, towards the end we couldn't find our server so that was a bit of a downer. Overall I recommend and would come back for karaoke or another game night.

The food was really good. My server was amazing and I enjoyed the music. It's a good brunch spot that is not too crowded. There was a little wait time for the food and we got our food all at different times but I would recommend visiting at least once!

Came here for the first time one a Friday night and had a good time. When I walked in, I was greeted by a hostess I asked for a table. The charge for a table was $40. I'm not quite sure if they offer any free seating at a certain time. We had drinks, food and hookah. The atmosphere was great they had game night which was really fun going on that night. Everything came out at a decent time. The food was amazing!! We had the catfish and grits and I can't stop thinking about it.

This was a terrible "X-Perience." Save your time and money; I def wish I did. Our reservation was at 1:15, and we didn't get our appetizers until 2:30 and our entrees until 3:15. They said the kitchen was backed up, and the appetizers were 5 minutes behind and the entrees were 10 minutes behind. Still, that was after we'd already waited 45 minutes. We ordered hookah, which never came until we asked again 30 mins later; it's cash only for that, so just a heads up.
The food was lukewarm after waiting forever and a day! I was so over it; the lamb chops were not it, the waffles tasted old, and the "homestyle potatoes" looked like the frozen ones you get at Walmart, nothing special at all. The whole experience was a joke, honestly.
My plate came with two eggs, but I only got one. When I let the server know, he explained the manager was having an issue and wouldn't make the extra egg or comp anything off my order, so he took off the cost of one egg ($1.60). How absolutely insane!
My Ratings:
The salmon croquettes were super salty and lukewarm. (2/10) #HardPass
Deviled Eggs - 8/10
Chicken Enchilada Egg Rolls - 7/10
Lamb Chops - 4/10
Chicken and Waffles - 5/10
Our server Dom was friendly, but disappeared for a long time on end, continued to give us false wait times, didn't check on us (water refills and old plates that needed to be picked up), and lacked proper communication given the extremely lackluster experience. For his friendliness, I give him a 6/10.
Also, they charged an automatic 15% gratuity for all checks and if you pay with credit card you will be covering the fee.
On the flip slide, here are the things I like: the deviled eggs were really good, and the chicken enchiladas weren't amazing, but at least it was piping hot. And most importantly, the ONLY reason I'm giving two stars is because of the DJ. He was great.
That's all! I hope I helped someone save $75; that's an overpriced disappointment.Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Mar 5, 2023
The vibe wasn't bad. I wasn't expecting much after reading the reviews prior. This automatically adding gratuity to everything makes me want to stay at home. lol
It was karaoke night and it was fun watching the people not know the words to songs even with the words on the screen and singing off key. The hot honey wings and hookah was good. The only negative I saw was that it's really no where to dance.Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0
