About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for groups
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.

    Food and drinks were outstanding and delicious. We had Lilia at the bar and she was great! We tried multiple cocktails and the Dr Pepper cake was to die for!!

    We arrived at 5:00 PM on a Friday afternoon and the parking situation was a cluster of cars stacking up waiting to be moved and small children running around. Once inside we were seated swiftly and given water and menus. The waitress returned after at least 15 minutes to take our drink order and left without asking if we wanted appetizers and didn’t bother to explain happy hour. It was 15-20 minutes before we received our drinks. She asked to take our order, still not explaining the specials. Two of us had the grilled shrimp Caesar salad. Neither of our salads had dressing and it took forever to get the dressing. The salads were bland and disappointing for the price. Leaving presented another cluster in the parking lot as am some cars had been blocked in. One couple had been waiting 30 minutes for their car. The valet stand was a little chaotic. The bland food and chaotic parking situation was enough r for me not to return.

    This is the first time we’ve had a negative experience here. The ambience for Easter Sunday outside was great. Inside we were sat in a dark small area. The waiter seemed to be highly distracted and not very knowledgeable. He had to make coffee for brunch,as in they didn’t have any made? It was odd. The deviled eggs are usually my favorite,they came out almost frozen and yolks were very bland. Two separate times they brought the wrong food order out to our table. The wait staff inside appeared very aloof. My burnt ends and grits were not good at all. The burnt ends were like literal beef jerky. The chicken fried brisket was amazing. For a 75$ ticket and only getting one quality item. We won’t be back for awhile.

    The meats are always outstanding. The sides and appetizers not so much. The deviled eggs were old and rubbery. The vegetables and mac and cheese had no flavor or seasoning.

    Food was good. Outdoor guests received priority service as we never got drinks. Speaker over table was loud and sounded mostly like static
