Lots of seating inside and out
Marie G.

Unbelievable - we were in and out in an hour. We decided to get there before the actual dinner crown or when we assume the dinner crowd would show up well I paid off. We got seated right away even though we had a reservation and we were early for it. We were a party of three adults and one baby that needed a highchair. I made the reservations online through OpenTable and they had the highchair ready for us and actually we were in a separate little corner kind of like a semi private room, which was perfect with the baby. My niece from Austin came into town to visit with her baby and her cousin, my nephew from my other sibling met us for dinner. The spot has great prices three entrées a baby entrée and an appetizer and dessert came to 88 bucks versus pretty reasonably priced. There is seating outside and they had live music going on. They had a guy singing country music to a guitar. It was great there were kids playing everywhere outside. It was really really nice. We will definitely be back.

Bar

I tried Smoky Rosefor the first time and it was excellent.!!! The open patio was vivacious, but also a few children so I decided to sit at the bar. Steven the bartender, made me feel right at home from the get-go. I explained to him that I just finished cancer treatment and I am not able to eat red meat him and the chef came over and guided me and showed me what I could eat and they made great accommodations. You can see a big screen TV to watch games! The deviled eggs were amazing! The smoked turkey meat for six hours & honey barbecue sauce was divine. I added green beans with garlic and onions. I have so many leftovers. I sincerely enjoyed my time there and they really made me feel special and I would definitely go back and recommend it to others.!!!

Queso and salsa

Huge covered patio, with fans and TVs. We shared the brisket queso and salsa...excellent. Ordered a brisket sandwich with the Mac n cheese and coleslaw for sides. Everything tasted amazing. Malalie (msp) took great care of us and truly k ew the menu.

Fish Tacos

Just down from the Dallas Arboretum is Smoky Rose, a delicious Tex-Mex spot that feels quaint and lively at the same time. Parking is easy to find out front and the interior is a noise mix of modern and classic western themes. They have both indoor and outdoor options, helping accommodate us with our dog on a cold day out. The menu is diverse and full of many food and drink options so there's sure to be something for everyone, even those who aren't the biggest fans of Tex-Mex. We ordered the Smoky Rose cheeseburger and shrimp tacos. The cheeseburger was good, pretty par for the course as burgers go (which isn't a bad thing). The shrimp tacos though, were amazing. The tacos did get a bit messy as we ate them since they were really piled on with ingredients, but some would call that a good thing. The beans they came with were good as well. While we didn't order drinks we had a friend mention that his drink was pretty strong so that's something to note if you come here looking for some. Everyone at our table seemed to really enjoy their food and everyone was happy by the time they got up to head out. It was a great meal and we're glad we stopped by for a bite.

Peach cobbler
Alyse H.

Foodie Alert! I recently got a chance to visit Smokey Rose a cute Rustic-chic Tex-Mex restaurant. We were greeted with a warm smile from the hostess and sat on the patio (today was the perfect fall weather!). Our server was so sweet and she made what she thought was great recommendations for us to eat. We started with appetizers: Pork Belly Burnt Ends and the Happy Hour (HH) Brisket Queso. The burnt ends were OK; they might have been a little too burnt, but I will say the sweet glaze sauce on top made them pretty good. However, I want to emphasize HH because the portion size was very small. It was served in a tiny cup, but still, it was pretty good. Now for our entree we got The Pitmaster, wich is a Texas twist "Philly cheese" sandwich with brisket. To be honest it was just ok. The meat was very dry. I was expecting the meat to have more flavor and more juice. My friend's Mom got the brisket sliders and she said they were ok. And for dessert, we tried the peach cobbler, and let me tell you, it was an epic fail. I think we were expecting the traditional peach cobbler with all the juices flowing everywhere, but it was quite the opposite, and because of that, we had to send it back. Overall I would say the food was a 3/5 and the service 5/5. But if you're in the area I say check them out, you may have a different experience with the food!

The food was amazing. The brisket strip was a little on the dry side but overall the meat was tasty and the loaded baked potato was mouth watering. The server was amazing and super sweet. The atmosphere was super fun and the place is huge!

Chicken Wings (Dry Rub)
Renee I.

Smoky Rose is such a cute and lively spot... and spacious. They had two events going on, on top of an already larger crowd and it didn't seem too busy. Our waiter was fairly new, which he warned us about ahead of time so we knew how to set our expectations. He was very friendly and seemed to try his best to ensure we had a great experience. Food: I ordered the Smoked Chicken Flautas and the Chicken Wings (Dry Rub). The dry rub wings were 10/10; highly recommended. The flautas had do much potential. For starters, I'm pretty sure they used flour tortillas (gasp) and the chicken itself didn't have much taste to it. However, the dressings on top were flavorful and they stuffed the flautas a great deal so it was a good bang for your buck.

Flour tortilla
Kristie H.

I've had the pork belly burnt ends before. They were amazing and I think they get better the longer they sit in the fridge. I have craved them for two weeks. I normally don't 'finish my plate' and can get three meals out of one. I added the steak fajitas as a Saturday night dinner treat, and then would enjoy the rest through my work week. The vegetables are wonderful and I highly recommend a forkful of onion, pepper, sour cream, and potato. The meat, however is just not hitting it out of the ball park. The biggest disappointment was getting half-cooked translucent flour tortillas. They're gummy and I can't imagine this is what the owners intended. Barf. Again: fajita veggies: potatoes, bell peppers, onions- chef's kiss. The steak and tortillas, someone's abuela just rolled over in her grave.

Loaded baked potato and egg sandwich
Sapril N.

I've been here before and it was good. We recently went yesterday and the food was disappointing. Everything including the breakfast potatoes and ketchup was overly sweet. The brisket was poor quality and had very little taste. The outdoor seating was overrun by small children running around unsupervised. Would not recommend.

Nisha R.

Ambiance very NICE! Beautifully decorated for the holidays. 5 STARS Drinks- My cocktail was delish! 4 STARS Service was decent. Food came out hot and fast. Presentation was good. 3 STARS Food was just ok. It was very bland and just about everything needed seasoning. A little salt and pepper goes a long way! I chose the two meat combo with ribs and chicken. The BBQ sauce was AMAZING. The meat lacked flavor. The ribs were grilled nicely, but didn't taste like anything. The coleslaw was delicious. It was my favorite thing and it was a side. It was full of flavor. The collard greens were blah. 2 STARS Overall decent experience. I was glad to try it once since I have driven by it on several occasions. Valet parking is free, but mandatory. I didn't like that there was no self parking at lunch and it wasn't super crowded.

Blackberry Bourbon Smash
Victoria E.

This is definitely a great spot for happy hour! They offer a solid selection of appetizers for just $7, along with their signature cocktails at the same price--a deal that's hard to beat. I went with the Blackberry Smash, and it did not disappoint. Perfectly balanced--not too tart, not too sweet--and with just the right kick. I also tried the wings and highly recommend the dry rub; the flavor was spot on. If you're looking for a go-to happy hour spot, this place is worth checking out!

Brisket queso with guacamole nachos
John C.

Delicious food that is always a welcome place to go after the Dallas Arboretum. Today we ate outside, which is not table service but to order at the bar and then they give you a number and deliver the food to you. Food was prepared very quickly and delicious as always. Service is very pleasant and the atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable.

Nachos

Alejandro was amazing! We had a group and he took great care of us. The restaurant is gorgeous and food is great but Alejandro was the star!

Ask the Community - Smoky Rose

Do they offer any vegetarian items? Asking because we have a company lunch and I don't want to appear like a pain.

They have some salads that you can choose from. Also, they have chips and queso and/or guac, as well as devils eggs that might work depending on what type of vegetarian diet you follow.

Is it pet friendly? Can dogs be sitting together at the patio area?

There were several dogs both small and large. All were on a leash. They had bowls of water too. I would say it's pet friendly for dogs.

Do y'all do happy hour on the patio? Also, when is live music?

Yes happy hour is the entire restaurant Monday thru Friday from 3-6pm. Live music is Tuesday thru… 

What is the happy hour?

Hi and hope all is well. Happy hour is Sunday thru Friday from 3-7pm. Monday & Tuesday are all day happy hour!…

The restaurant had that true Texas feel, with all the old-school western decor and the smell of BBQ in the air that made it feel like we had stepped into the wild west. The staff were super nice and went above and beyond. They gave me some really good cuts of meat, and I even got to watch them slice the brisket. That alone was worth it. We ordered half a pound of brisket, a jalapeno popper, with mac and cheese. The popper was incredible. Creamy filling inside, wrapped in that sweet candied bacon with a smoky, slightly Cajun flavor. The mac and cheese had a nice spicy kick too and was super comforting. But the brisket... WOW. Tender doesn't even explain it. The meat practically fell apart. It was juicy and had that deep BBQ flavor. And those little pieces of fat, those were my favorite. They melted into the meat and made every bite richer and almost buttery. This was the moment Texas BBQ finally made sense to me. That brisket was out of this world.

Here's a cleaned-up version that keeps your personality and food-review voice:…read more Cattleack BBQ DID NOT disappoint. Right now, on my highly curated list of the 25 best BBQ spots in all of Texas, Cattleack sits at #12--so obviously I had to try it, especially because it's literally down the street from my new place. I knew how that line could get, so I pulled up at 10:05 AM . Basically had BBQ for breakfast. And since I plan on hitting ALL 25 spots on my list, I made sure I tasted a little bit of everything so I could give it a proper review. First test: THE RIBS. I'm from St. Louis. Ribs are always going to be one of my first tests of whether somebody can really throw down on the BBQ pit. I got a whole pound, and they were GREAT. Passed the test. Then came the Toddfather sandwich... WHEWWWW. Brisket, smoked sausage AND pulled pork all on one sandwich. My God. So good. To finish off the meat test, I got one big piece of fatty brisket. Excellent. Exactly what I wanted. Now the sides... The mac & cheese was surprisingly GOOD. And if you know Texas BBQ, you know finding a BBQ spot with mac & cheese that can actually hold its own isn't always easy. The burnt-end baked beans had a great smoky flavor, but there were almost TOO many burnt ends in them . I was like damn, can I get some beans too?! Still good though. And finally, the banana pudding? FIRE. It was like a fancy version because it had a toffee flavor to it. Cattleack absolutely delivered. Love the vibes inside and out. This is officially a Ken's Approved Restaurant and earns the KenStar of Approval. 12 down... the journey through Texas BBQ continues.

This has been on my list for a long time, and I finally got a chance to try it out over the summer…read more I live in Fort Worth and their hours are not convenient for me to get to them, thats why it has taken me so long to try them. I read about the long lines and the lack of parking, but when I visited, it was maybe an hour before they closed, so I was actually able to find parking right outside the front door, and there was no line. There were also plenty of seating inside. When I got there, they were out of certain items, but that was expected since they are in high demand. Since it was just me, I ordered half a pound of brisket and half a pound of ribs along with a side of mac and cheese. To be honest, it did not live up to its hype. The brisket was a little dry, and for how much they charge per pound, I was expecting more meat than fat. The ribs were my favorite, and the mac and cheese was ok too. I got my order to go, and they only gave me a few sandwich bread slices and like 2 small containers of pickles. I think next time IF i go and IF i happen to be in the area i will try to eat inside that way I can get more of the bread/pickles because i love those on my BBQ.

I went with a friend of mine for breakfast around 1030. First time for breakfast here for both of us. I ordered a couple tacos and a pancake. My friend got the breakfast platter and a pancake. We were given a number, got our drinks and went to ta table. About 20 minutes in, no food. We were greeted by a very nice member of staff and talked with him for a bit. But when that was done we realized it had been about 35 minutes. No food. A waiter comes by and asked if we had the pancakes. We said yes. He told us they were out because a football team came in right before we did and ended up ordering like all they had for the day. You can't make this up. So I asked ok but where's the rest of our food? I'll check on it he said. So I leaned over to the table next to us and ask if they were still waiting on their food since they had been there a while also and they said yes did you also order the pancakes? Lol We laughed and said yeah but we should get the rest of our food no? they ended up leaving. About 10 minutes later another waiter comes and asked if the manager had spoken to us. Nope just a waiter. So he goes to get him. He comes back 5 minutes later cause the manager was helping to cook and would be with us soon. So we def in well over an hour now. Manager finally comes and is the most apologetic he could possibly be. Told us straight up our other food was never made and he would make it right now. And he would comp our meal. So that was already a really good turnaround. But when he brings the food out he also brought us a rack of pork ribs because the initial employee we talked to told him about us wanting to try the pork ribs another time and he just gave us some. Could really not have asked him to have done more to make up for everything. That alone will make me return to this location a lot. Food was fine but their courteousness and willingness to make the situation right and go beyond earned a customer for life.

A couple of heads up notes. The store no longer serves draft beer which is kinda sad. I'm no fan of Budweiser, but I'd always get a Bud draft... just because. Old school. They offer six or eight bottled and maybe canned beers. Contrary to the information provided here on Yelp they DO NOT serve wine. I wish I could remember her name, but the gal that has manned the register for as long as I've been going is still there and it was so good to see her. A pleasant tie to back in the day at Sonny's. And the school desks are still there, though I can no longer get into them. LOL. The store has undergone some physical improvements but it still boasts something of an old school BBQ joint ambiance. Worth a visit for that experience alone. I'm editing this as the response from the store manager to my little review above is odd. I never said the meal did not meet my expectations nor did I mention the bun or that I even had a sandwich. I actually thought the bun was excellent. In fact, though, the meal did not meet my expectations I made no mention of that. The pork ribs are rather unusual. When ordering I asked if I could order a pound cut from the short end. The associate at the register looked at me like a calf looking at a new gate. I tried to explain and he said their ribs are all cut up individually. He obviously had no idea how a rack of ribs is structured. I'm inclined to think the store is not smoking actual racks of ribs. The ribs appear to be pre-cooked somehow and then, based on the grill marks, clearly finished on a grill. They do not taste smoked to me. But, of course, I do not know. I requested brisket cut from the point, it came out cut from the flat. The experience was unlike anything I've ever had before in a BBQ joint. (The picture of Sonny next to your name is kinda weird).
