    Our family really enjoyed the outdoor seating on a beautiful afternoon. The service was excellent and the food quite good. My son visiting from out of state just remarked that the brisket was sort of dry. He can be a critic. My brisket sandwich was really good and the bun was soft and light. The whole table enjoyed the burnt ends and okra as appetizers. We had a great experience there.

    I've been to Smoky Rose many times and have always received good service and food. This time however was disappointing. We were seated promptly, got our initial drinks and appetizers quickly and placed our dinner order without any problems. Our food then took over 45 minutes after ordering and most of it was cold plus some of the orders were wrong. Our waitress disappeared several times for over 20 minutes at a time and after waiting 20 minutes for the printed receipt I requested I just left without it. It wasn't that crowded and our group wasn't that big. Hopefully this was an isolated experience and I'll probably go back, but it has dropped down my list of preferred restaurants.

    I would rate this a 6 out of 10. The service was slow, but the wait staff was sweet. Most importantly that would keep my entire 10 people from coming back would be the food! Some said they didn’t care for what they ordered. But most of all the food came out cold. For what we paid it was not worth the price!!!

    We love eating ay Smoky Rose because we really enjoy the patio and the outdoor space where the kids have a place to play. They have a kids menu with typical things kids like. We enjoy the bbq meats and sandwiches and salads. Today there were 3 adults & two kids. We ordered queso & chips. As usual, the queso arrived but no plates so that we could share. Our entrees arrived at different times. The sliders we ordered were cold. The quesadilla was very greasy. The kids enjoyed their mac & cheese. The server was excellent & apologized for the kitchen sending out our entrees at different times. She was diligent about refilling beverages. We waited a long time for our car at the valet stand. People in line after us were all getting their car before us. All in all, not our best visit to Smoky Rose.

    I love this place for family meals. With a 4 years old son, it is a challenge to find a place I can enjoy a great Old Fashioned and let him play with the other kids. Most places that allow children double down with a playground or some sort of tacky structure. Smokey Rose keeps it classy so people with kids, people with a dog or people just looking for a good drink can all have fun.

    Have eaten here twice, the first time everything was spot on, food, service, mixed drinks were all absolutely delicious. This time the meat tray was still as delicious as the first time, but the macaroni was a disappointment. The mixed drinks were terrible also this time. Service was still great except we had to ask for plastic bags for our to go containers twice. Love the live music performer both times, he is excellent.

    Enjoyed brunch on the covered patio which was heated on one of the first cold days in TX. I had avocado toast with salmon (very good) and my significant other had the Cuban which he really liked (took 1/2 home). Service was pretty prompt and our server was very attentive. Would love to go again in spring or early summer to enjoy the outdoor patio area. It looked very relaxing.

    I wish I could give this place zero stars. I can’t even believe how rude the waiter was when I informed him I was vegan. His response: “sorry, I can’t help you. This is a barbecue place.” Well, no sh*t. The better response I get from every other restaurant on the planet is usually, “let me get a manager to help you. We will figure something out.” Trust me, I wouldn’t have been there if I wasn’t there supporting a friend for their birthday. My friend ended up asking for a manager and the manager said they could do veggie fajitas. Lol… they brought out meat fajitas annyway and I reminded them they are supposed to be veggie. So they bring out a slop of onions covered in grease. More grease than onions. Since when are veggie fajitas only onions!? I asked for corn tortillas. They bring out two flour tortillas. Like… what?!?! This place can get nothing right. I ask for corn again and about 30 minutes later, they bring me 4 miniature corn tortillas. Service in general was terrible!!!!!! Not to mention, valet is REQUIRED. So annoying. Do not recommend this place. This place was gross and everything was floating in grease. Reminds me why America is so fat.

    I brought a group out for a business dinner here. We did shared plates and their boards and large sides were wonderful to accommodate everyone. The whole group enjoyed the ambiance, food and cocktails. Would definitely return for a group dinner like that again. The only thing to be aware of is that they add a “large group” surcharge of 20% for your server — it wasn’t a problem, but just so you know ahead of time. I did think that the service could’ve been a bit better but overall it was fine.

    The food wasn’t very hot when it arrived and everything was dripping with grease. I know that BBQ meats are heavy and greasy but this was so much grease it ruined the food. The service was hard to get refills, not all drinks were ever delivered and the server rushed us from the moment we sat down and asked for a tip when the bill was presented. It was disappointing all around.
