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.

    Smoky Rose is always delicious and has a great ambience. We sat on their indoor/outdoor patio on an unexpectedly chilly day. They were kind to keep the overhead heaters on for us, though. The only complaint was that the music was too loud on the speakers. We requested that they turn it down, but it seemed like the volume only decreased slightly. It was very hard to hear the people at the other end of the table, and there were only 6 of us, so it wasn't a large table or group. Otherwise, great experience as always.

    Loved the ambiance here. Great place to enjoy a nice day on the patio. Live music was a nice bonus, and the food and drinks were enjoyable.

    Way too loud under the covered patio when a band is playing. Be prepared for 30 min wait at valet.

    Cam, the bartender, is the best. The food is food. Don't ask for any extra like tortillas. You will see it on your bill, and a certain drink is listed on the menu that is an additional 4.00. Overall it's a nice place to visit.

    Smoky Rose is one of our go-to restaurants. We enjoy the ambience and the food is always solid. We had prompt, friendly service and an enjoyable dinner on a dreary night.

    Nice local spot with great areas for families to gather. We were looking for something a little more intimate for a date night and our table was very small and pushed up against a post(we opted for outdoor dining)so little legroom for us tall people. Also table next to us was less than 2 feet away so for to listen to their conversation all night. Food and service very good and prompt for a Saturday night. Next visit would be with a group of friends or our family.

    The service? Absolutely pathetic. I stood around waiting to be acknowledged like a ghost in broad daylight. When I finally got to place my order, the waitress never introduced herself, never checked in, and never even bothered to clear the table. It was like she disappeared into thin air—too bad she didn’t take the awful service with her. The wait for food was a complete joke. By the time my sandwich arrived, I had aged a few years, and for what? A dry, lifeless excuse for a meal. No moisture, no flavor, just pure disappointment between two pieces of bread. And when I wanted to leave? Oh, that was a whole new level of frustration. I practically had to send out a search party to find someone willing to bring me the check. How is it this hard to do the bare minimum? This place is an embarrassment. If you enjoy being ignored, waiting endlessly, and eating uninspired food, then by all means, give them your money. Otherwise, do yourself a favor and go somewhere that actually respects its customers.
