Ferah Smokehouse & Cantina

Brand new classy, yet casual, facility in booming Wylie, Texas. Smokehouse meats, salads, and sides.Nice sportsbar counter seating, and a bonus private room for 16 persons.Excellent staff, Laura was attentive and kind. I got here mid-afternoon, it was quiet. I was set up with coffee and warm cornbread. Nice variety of mellow overhead music. Very nice locking restrooms. Seating for up to 150 when the remodel of the patios is finished. Nice padded booths give privacy.Wasn't too hungry, this stop was not planned for today, so I went with the Southwestern Caesar Salad, which was very good, generous serving. I gambled on Chicken Enchilada Lasagna and, well, it must of been a micro chicken since the small pieces did not even add up to a drumstick from a normal hen. The Sangria Of The Day was simple, but good flavor. Growing pains for a very nice new facility, south side of FM 544, in front of Home Depot, with a nice parking lot. 4.5 rounded up to 5.0 today. This should become a Wylie top spot, soon enough.

Nice ambiance. Had queso and chicken flautas. Hubs had short ribs. Neither dish was spicy. Guacamole and queso were tastyHad a cape cod to drink. Very goodFirst time customer. Will be back to try more

Ferah Smokehouse Cantina is our new favorite local restaurant. We have always enjoyed Ferah's at Firewheel, and the Smokehouse Cantina has taken the concept to new and better heights. They have a great selection of amazing custom drinks, like their smoked Paloma! I love all the Barbecue items in the menu, including their main BBQ platter! The sauce is delicious - just the right amount of spice and tangy to make that a huge winner.Seating and atmosphere is great - comfortable and spacious. Waiters are super friendly, responsive, knowledgeable, and helpful. They have a nice focused wine selection with several great choices you will love.Come visit this charming new one-of-a-kind restaurant!

This is a great restaurant. The food and service was excellent. The menu is very unique so have fun. We were a large group so had the smokehouse burger the tacos the brisket the enchilada lasagne and the blackened chicken pasta. It was all wonderful. Hanna was absolutely lovely

Must go! Hannah was our main waitress and she was fantastic. Great & honestly recommendations on food. I had the supercool salad and couldn't be happier. It was large though, come hungry. Husband had the baby back ribs and devoured them. We finished off with with salted Carmel cheesecake. Yummy.Drinks were fantastic.

What a great surprise this hidden gem. Food was good. The cornbread was excellent like it was cake. Loved the wine selection. And ask for Angel great server.

I love Ferah's Tex-med in garland and the owner is the nicest person ever, so let me preface this review by saying I know the caliber his new restaurant will get to - it's just brand new and still working out the kinks. I fully intent to try the restaurant again and hopefully will be able to upgrade my review.I took my daughter here for lunch. It took almost 10 minutes for someone to come over and greet us and get waters.The meal was taking awhile to prepare so the waitress brought over some free cornbread with honey butter. Oh my gosh it was to DIE for, it was so delicious! I also ordered chips and salsa. Took forever to get them, but the salsa was delicious. I enjoyed the chips as well - dusted with chile powder I believe - but they would have been better warm.My daughter was happy getting a side of rice and beans with fresh flour tortillas, that's her go-to meal everywhere. The flour tortillas looked homemade and had a bit of char on them. Loved the cilantro rice - beware if you're in the 10% where cilantro tastes like soap - this rice is VERY cilantro-heavy so if you're not a fan, don't get rice.I ordered the smoked chicken flautas with no sour cream. My order came out wrong, they accidentally gave me enchiladas. So I waited 20 minutes for my food to come out, at which time my kid was already finished. When I received them, there was sour cream sauce all over and they were greasy and burned to a crisp... to the point where I pulled one apart and the chicken wasn't even recognizable. At that point I just told the waitress I was done and sent it back, they didn't charge me for it. The owner came over and apologized and offered us free dessert, which I declined because we had other plans. I did appreciate the apologies and taking my order off the check. I was disappointed, but I know they'll continue to get better. I'll wait another few weeks and try again!

I was looking for something new to try so I decided to visit Ferah Smokehouse & Cantina. I grabbed a seat at the bar and the very busy bartender quickly got me a water and I started off with a frozen margarita. The dining room was clean but not too many people were there considering it was happy hour. I ordered the chipotle bbq meatballs and creamy elotes. Both were served quickly, along with the complimentary cornbread which was pleasing but they weren't particularly hot. It wasn't worth complaining or sending back to the kitchen since I just wanted something to taste with my margarita. I don't think I'd get the frozen margarita again because I didn't really get a strong margarita taste from it at all.

Positive feedback: Food was amazing and the entrees came out quickly! The interior of the restaurant was stunning! I would order the Chili Lime Chicken again! The complimentary cornbread was great! The Mac and cheese bites were good, but I didn't taste the brisket! Constructive feedback: 1) Hostess quoted 30 minute wait time, but actual was 1.25 hours. Team will need to be better at estimating turnover time. As a guest it was disappointing to see many open tables within the restaurant, but a huge queue of folks waiting for a table. It didn't make sense that we had to wait 1.25 hours2) Cleanliness- Silverware, floor, chairs, and tables were all dirty3) Service- slow and chaotic. Our server had tables all over the restaurant, including the outside patio area. Water wasn't served until 15 minutes after being seated4) Timing of food- appetizer, cornbread, and entrees all came out at the same time. For such a small table, it was overwhelming trying to fit everything

Such a great new restaurant in Wylie! The food is amazing and service is exceptional.
