The Haze

The Haze is an American and Asian BBQ Joint at 106 King St., just off the Capital Square in downtown Madison, Wisconsin. Owners Justin and Cory Carlisle, Daniel Almquist and Shinji Muramoto bring you barbeque from around the globe. Local powerhouse Christopher Pax oversees the day-to-day operations of the restaurant. The Haze opened on Tuesday, October 20th, 2009.

Justin, Dan and Shinji's keen palates and expert execution, combined with local farmers' meat and produce, deliver one of Madison's outstanding dining experiences. Daily specialties range from traditional Kansas City ribs to Vietnamese Bahn Mi sandwiches and house-made sausages. In fact, The Haze is so dedicated to supporting local farmers that you'll find their pictures hanging on the restaurant's walls!

Open for lunch and dinner, the atmosphere is warm and casual making it perfect for sipping a Trappist beer.
