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.

    Pros: Location Come on a nice day and sit outside. The patio is enjoyable. The wings were good, the dry rub was sweet and savory but the blue cheese did not complement the wing (not much flavor and needs to be thicker). Cons: The desserts need to be reworked. The Dr Pepper sheet cake was not a sheet cake, couldn’t taste Dr Pepper and was a thick cake not sheet. The peach cobbler tasted like baby food. Cobbler should have some crunch and texture. Valet- why? Maybe on a busy night but not a slow weekend night. When we left there was a line of people waiting for our cars and they were right at the front door. I stood waiting for mine to be open.

    The Valet was fine, the outdoor patio space was very cool with fire pits and large gathering areas for groups. We were there early so it was overrun by kids running all over the place. Probably a good use of space for the time of day. Inside is very large and open, which was accommodating. When full, I would imagine this restaurant gets loud. Service was okay- server was not friendly, but was attentive. Our app did not come out first (deviled eggs), our sandwiches arrived 5 min after we ordered them. The Cuban sandwich was outstanding , the brisket cheesesteak was meh- decent flavor, very cheap on the product. The deviled eggs had no flavor, I would not recommend. The server did not charge us for the deviled eggs because they did not come out first, which we appreciated. Overall, the experience was good but not fantastic.

    It’s always a great time at the Smoky Rose! The service was not the best that it’s ever been , but other than this one off, it was a fantastic time!

    Brought my family that came from out of town to have an early dinner before going to Christmas at Arboretum. We had a reservation and granted it was early, however did not expect to get our food sooooo fast! Our waitress was fabulous and the food as usual did not disappoint! Always a great place and fun music as well.

    Mediocre experience. Not worth the bill, for sure. In fact, they never gave an itemized bill, only the total. Food was fine, not great. Same with service. I suggested the venue for our party of ten. I won’t again.

    Fantastic first visit today. Arrived and seated on time for our reservation. Top service from Camila, she was thorough and thanked us for our business. Food came out fast and delicious, we had the BBQ sliders, turkey BLT, the Charlotte, the Cuban and fried okra side and four beers for under $100 (before tip.) Everyone was happy and looking forward to our next visit. Even the valet attendants were pleasant.

    The restaurant was good but the Valet parking was horrendous. Waited twenty minutes for my car to arrive. Unacceptable.
