About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Good for groups
  • Neighborhood gem
Whereas traditional Tex-Mex uses a Santa Maria Grill, Tex-Que derives from our offset Smoker to cook all of our proteins and incorporate them into our inclusive menu. Smoky Rose offers all of the Texas staples from our top rated Brisket Queso, to our delicious smoked Brisket Tacos. We have it all - made fresh in our scratch kitchen. Bring your furry friends to our dog park and enjoy the beautiful weather at our patio with live music every weekend. Located right across from the Dallas Arboretum.

Address: 8602 Garland Rd. Dallas, TX 75218.

The "beautiful patio" and live music enhance the ambiance, though some patrons mentioned the "music was too loud." The brisket and smoked turkey fajitas are highly recommended.

    Server completely ignored our table when there was 20min between when the first person got their food and the last. By the time the last person got their food no one else’s was still hot. If she would have acknowledged the delay the review would have been different.

    Always enjoy - the road noise is loud and the valet parking is so crowded - location is tight . But we know that going in . Burnt Ends are to die for

    The idea of the restaurant is great. It's a barbeque place with a huge outdoor patio and live music. However, the parking situation makes it difficult to ever want to return. They simply do not have a parking lot big enough to support the restaurant and they require you to valet park. The lot is not set up for valet parking and trying to get in and out of the lot is a nightmare. The food is great, but the amount of food for the price you pay is not proportional. We paid $5 for a 1/3 cup of mac & cheese and $12 for 1 cup of mashed potatoes. The meat was delicious, but the portions were small. We paid $80 for two people, and we were still hungry when we left.

    The service was exceptional, the place is great, the food was delicious, the only issue is the parking situation is less than ideal. It is only valet parking and it was 15 minutes for them to receive the car and about another 20 to bring it back when leaving.

    Celebrated my birthday. Due to weather they were very kind enough to move us to an inside table. Was nice and warm. Server was amazing. Food and mimosas were great!

    Visited this early afternoon on a cool, spring day. There was a live musician, who sang some pretty amazing classics - though it was a bit loud for the time. Our table ordered chips & guac, bbq sliders, tacos & of course, margaritas. Everyone said they liked their meal. I definitely would like to come back and sit in the patio during the summer days.

    The service was impeccable. We were seated at the exact time of our reservations. Our waitress was friendly and made excellent cocktail recommendations. Food was serviced 10-15=minutes after placing our order. Our dinner was going extremely well until my second bit into my meal and to my surprise I pulled out of my mouth a bread tie. The waitress was summoned immediately and she quickly apologized, offer me another meal, and credited our bill for several items. This was not our first time eating at Smoky Rose, accidents do happen, so I would definitely return to this restaurant again and I strongly recommend you try it.
