Per below, Laure E. left out vital context that she was already intoxicated at 2 pm and was harassing other customers, including a deaf person who could not respond. She had also been removed from another bar prior to coming to Richardson Bar & Grill. The fact she insulted multiple patrons and made them extremely uncomfortable was also excluded. Megan is extremely talented and professional when she needs to be, but is also a hardworking and dedicated person who cares about all of her customers, regardless if they are regulars or not. The staff at this restaurant/bar are always welcoming, and not just to locals. I just moved to Dallas and they have been nothing short of wonderful to myself and my colleagues. Megan, Biriley, Jenn, as well as the kitchen staff and management run a great ship, and if you're looking for that local watering hole/casual feel you can't do better in Richardson. I can't recommend it enough to anyone looking for a casual and fun place to hang after work, on a day off, or just trying to catch the game. Give them a shot. read more

We love this place, always have a great time & the folks there are great! TC (DJ on Saturday night) always plays music we love. The waitresses are down to earth & typically have our drinks waiting for us when we walk in. Is it a dive, yes - is it local, yes - do we always have fun, yes - so all boxes are checked. DJ starts at 9:00 pm on Saturday & mainly karaoke but she will play a song if you request them. We love their nachos! Cheese sticks are seasoned well & big! There is still zero drama & they have a covered smoking porch. I am so glad they do not smoke inside! THANK GOD! They do have a pol table or 2 (I think), ample bathroom space, bar seating as well as floor seating. Typically doesnt get packed until 10-11. If you are loking for a cold adult beverage with good folks, good music & not far....YOU WILL LOVE RBG! read more

Kareoke nights on Friday and Saturday are always fun and entertaining; this is a Beautiful bar with a fun staff and the food is awesome; waitresses are very efficient and friendly! Love making this a fun date night with my wife! read more

Terrible bar tender I didnt look at her name but she was very short tempered and soo dismissive. Careful with that lady. Make sure you bring your ids even if you are only ordering mocktails... do better bartender read more

It was going good till I had to close my tab came in from California for work on a Valentine's Day wanting a relaxing drink maybe music till the dark haired girl behind the bar who is a normal here with another bartender named Ross pretty sure her names Megan when I asked for her name she turned around like she seen a ghost so I had to ask the lovely lady at the front. And she gladly gave me her name. What upset me was when I went to close out my tab she gave me an attitude about my card not working when I simply told her to tap it like she did with my friends and what a suprise it worked I let her know I wouldn't be coming back nor tipping cause of her attitude hope the owner sees this and gives a response shitty service and a shitty attitude if I could give a 0 would. Ps.your bartenders get sloppy drunk. Edit due to managers response Mike I never once handed her another card it's funny cause I'll still stand on the sloppy drunk thing there's a mass group of people with me who have been here multiple occasions that have seen her drink. also looking at reviews this isn't the first bad altercation with Megan I'd still rate this place a shit show and I'm glad you stand behind your disrespectful team read more

Service is controlling and the bar is obviously mostly empty for a reason. Older folks are in their best element as patrons because they've lived the life they wanted to already. Bartender Megan Dosent seem to care about anyone but her regulars. Congratulations. read more

Megan is exactly the kind of bartender every dive bar needs! Learns your name, laughs at your jokes, and pours great drinks! Come for the game, stay for karaoke! Food is good, too! Win, win, win! read more

Love the ambiance of this place during the day. Super chill, great music, extremely friendly bartenders, and good drinks. This is a "cheers" style bar with lots of regulars and everyone is friends. I can't speak for the night time but I love the day time vibe. Food is pretty traditional bar food. Sometimes great, sometimes just ok. But it's a bar first. Can definitely recommend if you are looking for a regular place. read more

Great experience! Speedy service! Brylee is the best ! He was very nice and respectful, I will definitely be back.

The vibe of the place is what you would think dive bar but in the best sense. Service is excellent. We usually see Jen tending bar she's a peach. Food is bar food but a little inconsistent develed eggs are very good. Drinks poured correctly. On Sunday the football selection is a little limited. Partons are fun people of all types the best thing about a dive bar. We enjoy this place will frequent often. read more

It's really disappointing honestly, I wanted to love this place. The vibe is great, and the music is usually on point, but the staff is seriously dragging it down. After my initial encounter with Megan, which was absolute trash, I thought maybe it was just a fluke, so I came back a couple more times, hoping for a different experience. Unfortunately, it was more of the same. The second time, the bartender was just as unhelpful and seemed more interested in chatting with her friends/regulars than trying to generate new ones. My third visit was barely better. I hoped to see a different bartender, but no luck. The same crew was there. It was disheartening to see such potential wasted by a lack of professionalism. It is hard to justify coming back when there are so many other options with better service and drinks. If you're looking for a night out, I'd recommend looking elsewhere until they make some serious changes. But if drunk and coked up bartenders is your thing, five stars. read more

for me!!! This place has the total vibe for fans of the friendly neighborhood dive bar! Megan & Jen are amazing and quick to wit, with your drink ready at hand! Such a great layout and a fun time to be had throughout! read more

Nice bar and great service! Natalie was an absolute doll taking care of us and the woman bartender with glasses was super kind too- very attentive and even helped carry drinks. Food was really good and karaoke was a blast. Surprisingly won money on one of the machines and a worker gave it to us out of pocket since we couldnt make it back the next days because of work. Certainly a cheers type environment. Definitely will be returning! read more

Total dive bar but excellent. Great bar food selection, large space to fully immerse in karaoke or step away. Offers pool as an option as well. read more

That guy Bralie, terriawful, terrible and awful at the same time.! Always giving me the proper amount of alcohol in my shots and the hair makes me think he's another girl behind the bar. read more

The staff here is literally the worst and the female bartender deserves to be fired, I ordered a shot for about 4$ and paid in cash when I took my cash and walked away for a minute I realized she had not given me about 10$ back and I came right back to ask for my receipt bc she had not given me my receipt which is a proof of purchase that every restaurant is required to give, she wouldn't give me a receipt and also when I pointed out how she kept 10$ from me she started giving me attitude and gaslighting me for this situation when she clearly was the one who processed my cash. DO NOT come here that bartender is a thief! read more

Dive bar, however in a good way. Patrons are friendly and diverse. The bartenders Jen and Briley are always happy to see you and treat everyone like family. Food is expected bar food, however a lot of options. I love the flat bread pizza and home made fried cheese sticks ( they are big) and portion is allot. Be ready to share them. This is at least an every weekend stop. Fun ans friendly place. read more

Female bartender on shift was incredibly disrespectful. Decent drinks, if you'd want to be degraded. Staff were horrendous, will never come back again. Staff could not be worse. read more

Great bar the staff is top notch super friendly, great food. The owners have it going on.

Amazing staff, everyone is super friendly and quick to make drinks. The price is hard to beat, so affordable. RBG is my favorite dive bar to go to! read more

Lex and Megan are amazing! They are the only amazing people about this bar. They are polite and extremely friendly. When they see our drinks need replenishing they are ON IT. It was busy and they aren't rude to us like another bar tender named Ross. He seemed extremely bothered when he was asked for simply water. I appreciate all of the other bar backs & bar tenders. Lex and Megan are the only reason why I will ever come back. read more

Ross is the son of the owner and he's extremely rude. He doesn't want to serve anyone and expects people to tip him for not giving decent service. He is extremely drunk when he doesn't work. He shows up to "work" on his days off and always thinks he is better than anyone else because his parents own the bar. He should carry himself more professionally. The only reason he has a "job" at Richardson bar and grill, is because of his parents. He should not be working at a professional level only because his parents own the business. He is not the best representation of this business I'm extremely sorry for anyone that encounters this guy. read more

great service. bartenders are always welcoming and friendly. Food are always good and hot definitely will be back

Staff is very rude and disrespectful to customers. They accused my friend of lying saying that they gave back his card and when they finally found it there was no apology. The place is good, the drinks are good, the staff isn't. read more

Just trash. Especially the manager. Someone should probably send the health department there.

This place is awesome! Love the bartenders, the atmosphere, and the drinks! Best bar in Richardson!

I have gone here a few times to drink. I like the bartenders I can't remember his name but it starts with a B. He's a good guy & he's friendly. I played pool, my friend did kareokie. We also played Ginga so never a dull moment. I keep going back. It's nice & big place. There's plenty of parking space. If you have not been you should go. read more

I've met friends for lunch and dinner here more than a few times, and went along with it out of politeness when they chose it. The only food that has ever tasted good is the tortilla chips. I've tried their burger, the fried chicken sandwich, the grilled chicken sandwich, the fries, quesadillas and the blt. None of them were any good, essentially frozen ingredients thrown together w/out regard for taste or quality. The last time I got roped into going to RBG I ordered the blt -- we all thought it would be pretty hard to make a bad blt, right? Wrong. The tomato slice was thin and tasteless, the single, sad leaf of iceberg lettuce looked old and the single slice of bacon barely covered the length of the bread. Completely SOAKED in mayo on both slices of bread, though. [ shudder ] The exterior of the place is run-down and sad-looking, too. Matches the blt. read more

THEY DO NOT ALLOW SMOKING INSIDE ANYMORE (which is great- just wanted to mention since older reviews have the wrong detail; I couldn't smell any smoke odor either, so that's good). I came here to kill time while I got my car detailed across the street because some biscuit spilled fish soup in my car while I was Lyft driving. The vibe on a Sunday afternoon is chill and the locals waited until I finished my first drink before trying to talk to me, which was smart since I was pouting and scowling. I will likely come back for Friday or Saturday night karaoke if I ever find a free babysitter. Jen is an awesome bartender! read more

Great place friendly people and great staff highly recommended if you have never been and food is awesome

Day one staycation decided to try this local bar and grill for lunch. Great place all in masks and social distancing. Smoking allowed on patio. Jen the bartender greets you as you come in. Tried the basket of fried jalapeño, onions, pickles. Crispy with cool ranch to dip. We tried the hot cheese burger which was hot, went perfect with the ice cold beer. Great music lots of TV's each one with different programs. Lots to too if you enjoy shuffle board, darts and pool tables. Will come back good food and beverages. read more

Never been here before and will never be back. Walked in on a weeknight around 10pm and the music was so loud, I drank half a beer and left. My ears were ringing and hurt for a good hour afterwards. It was so loud, your grandmother could hear it across the street with the doors closed. I indicated to the bar lady that it was loud and I couldn't yell loud enough to give a drink order. It made sense why few people were there. Terrible business model. I'd be angry if I were the owner: they are a candidate for Bar Rescue. read more

People who give this place a bad review don't understand this place for what it is. It's a dive bar where you get cheap drinks- and if you want to order a drink- get up, use your legs and go to the bar. If you want food- ask for a menu at the bar- they will come get your order. To the ones complaining they didn't get service - you didn't get up and go to the bar - that is the standard protocol here. If you want sit down full wait service- try going to a dinner establishment - not a watering hole with the word 'bar' in the name of the business. It's Smoky- so if you don't like smoke- don't go here- or else you will complain. Dive bars that aren't smoky are not quite a dive bar now are they. If you like to throw darts- watch the game And be left alone- and play good music in the juke box- you'll like it okay. Just quit acting annoyed when you want to order a drink but you didn't get up and order it- it's how they operate. Good place if you know what it is and what your looking for read more
