Given it's double the price of a single meat platter, I expected it to comfortably feed two. On the platter were two solid ribs, a quarter dark chicken, and one hot link which were all solid sharing portions. Brisket which I understand would be one of the more expensive items - was one slice plus a sliver of a dry end attached to it. I'm not sure if that's one slice or a one slice plus what one was counting as a second slice. This was a disappointing mark - I thought about asking the server about whether we should have at least a full second slice. Pulled pork - to me is a much less expensive item compared to brisket - yet a relatively small amount. Not as egregious as the easily measured brisket. Cole slaw - even if it was made in house as opposed a commercial bulk supplier, this is a low cost item no? Small dish. Quality is very good - just a question of the quantity. Tap water here seems filtered for neutral taste. It was a nice day on a quiet Sunday afternoon so we opted to get seated outside on the patio with umbrella shade. Traffic going by was light and quiet. Two servers available during the lull while we were there and the worked as a team to check on us outside.

We also enjoyed collard greens, but no one liked the mac & cheese. Unfortunately, the mac & cheese was very bland and watery. Service was great. They are friendly and clean.

Talked with - I believe one of the owners - she said it was just her and her husband running the place. The restaurant was quiet with just us and one other couple inside on a Sunday afternoon. We ordered two brisket sandwiches and an order of pulled pork nachos. The food was good, brisket was a little dry, but no real complaints. They had 3 sauce options you could put into to-go containers yourself to try out, we opted for the southern comfort I believe and it was good BBQ! Also a nice touch I saw is they sold farm fresh eggs. My only two critiques would be phone etiquette and inventorying expired product. We called ahead of time to make sure the restaurant was open with it being a holiday weekend. Once the phone was answered on the other end, it was silent for about 30 seconds then we were given just a "Hello?". We had to confirm we were calling Cherry Red Roasters instead of calling someone's personal phone. We were given sour cream I believe in a packet to go with our nachos, but the expiry date on the packet was 5/13/2025 when the date we dinned was 5/25/2025.

There's also a regular menu to order from at other times. For sure there's alcoholic beverages. It's about $11 for a margarita. They have a few flavors including the classic lime as well as mango and pineapple. It's about $13.50 for the lunch buffet. This has a few sections including the salsa bar as well as the bigger line. Get all the toppings possible including guacamole, jalapeños, and salsa just to name a few. The main section has corn and flour tortillas as well as tortilla chips, and lots of filling choices including beans, meats, and potatoes. Certainly it's best to come for the lunch buffet. It's located on Third Street at Lafayette. They're closed Sundays, which is the only bad thing about it, where the buffet is served weekdays and Saturdays.

Burgers were decent and fries and sides were pretty good ( We are off to a good start) food came out timely and we were checked on but not bothered , prices were fair/ decent quality was good and was able to check out smoothly and leave . Bad news guys , here comes the truth ever since that day it was hard to figure out what days this place was open and what was on the menu when? Hours changed closed / back open , only communication was thru Facebook - ohhh no ! I'm Not on Facebook for real !!! Drive by no cars where's hours? Note on door - ohhh no! Never good ! Honestly I gave up between trying to communicate or see what there serving every weekend became a chore - how hard is it man ?? We tried 5 times - you advertised prime rib can we get this weekend? What day ? What time? Omg is it this hard ?not this weekend ??but follow us on Facebook for great deals? What??? I'm not on Facebook I just want to give you my money for Prime rib? Pop up events ? Wth is that ? I had to ask a millennial!! They didn't know I'm a Generation X neither generation could figure this place out - Now the big black trailer we all thought was gonna be barbecue in the parking lot is Soft serve ice cream? Cmon man - hahaha - sorry I had to laugh because of the stickers on that thing : Twitter / Facebook ohh man I avoid that type of social media but I'm a Yelper yaaa buddy and I'm a meat eater and Haze Smokehouse has some damn good smoked ribs and steaks !! And I can figure out what they are serving before the weekend and make plans to go there and have no stress or drama on Facebook or Twitter or Twatter or Tik - Tok -never been back , drive past it daily lost my business and most of my friends even younger people I work with said they would avoid any food place that they mostly communicate thru Facebook- was shocked to here millennials say that there the ones veering in your lane cause they can't put that damn phone down! 5 Buck keeping it real since 1968 Truthful reviews always-
