About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Lively
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.

    We ate inside that was as cold as a meet locker and wasn’t comfortable at all. Service was very slow. We were a party of four (4), our entries were delivered at two different times. The first two and then 10 minutes later the other two. We were credited for our teas. Overall we were extremely disappointed in the service and food presentation as if our sandwiches were thrown together. We have been patrons for years. Between the service and the valet who forgot were our car was parked, it may be a while before we come back, very disappointed.

    We started off with the brisket queso, which was fantastic. The chips were also delicious. Our entrees were the brisket street tacos and the Charlotte sandwich with the extra sausage, jalapeño, and brisket for $3. Both of the meals were great, and the extra meats on the Charlotte really put it over the top. The lemonade was really excellent as well. Great atmosphere also. Waitstaff was on point and very attentive.

    I love this restaurant! Very dog friendly and attentive to our two Australian Shepherds. They offer a plain chicken breast for the dogs if needed. Our dogs thought they were in heaven when they tasted the deep fried brisket! It was an amazing entree. The valet parking is a must do to lack of parking space. The valets were so nice to help us with the dogs in unloading and loading them. The only negative is the flies seem to like the area. Although they do have little fans for each table, I would think it would be wise to investigate to see why there are so many flies. Regardless, we will return again. It has become one of our favorite places in White Rock.

    The brisket was good, although the ribs were dry.

    Loved dining here for the first time. I was in a party of three. We ordered an appetizer to share which came out very fast. Then we ordered 3 entrees to share as well. Two of them came out very quickly. We went ahead and started sharing the two that came out. Turns out the third entrée never arrived. I’m not sure if they never brought it to the table because it was never ordered or what? However, we found out that the two entrées, plus the appetizer was enough for the three of us so we never asked about the third entrée until the end just to make sure it wasn’t on our bill.

    We celebrated my 3 year old grandson’s birthday with 10 family members. Denna was our waitress and she was outstanding. The food was amazing and I think Smokey Rose serves the best frozen Paloma’s in Dallas . Overall my family who had never dined at Smokey Rose were impressed and will definitely add this restaurant to their favorites list.

    Mother’s Day, so busy. Understaffed, brisket was mostly fat and we had an issue with a foreign body in one meal. I’m afraid it’s suffering the way of becoming a victim of their own success.
