I've been a loyal fan of Lady Jaye (and the crew before they were LJ) for years, and I can't sing its praises enough. The food is consistently top-notch, and those cocktails? SO impressive. As a whiskey lover, I appreciate their variety of whiskey-based drinks. The fun twists, like the soft serve + toppings dessert, popcorn on every table, and American cheese on their Wagyu burger - not just for show ya'll—it all tastes amazing and adds to the vibe.The place is cozy and welcoming, no pretentiousness here. Servers are warm, friendly, and always on top of their game.A few weeks ago, me and some friends booked the Friday night smoked tomahawk. Best decision ever. Tomahawk was smoked to perfection, juicy, and medium-rare. And the sides? We loved 'em all. The meal easily fed three hungry adults and a ravenous 7-year-old, and we were stuffed!Definitely a favorite spot of mine. If you haven't been yet, you're missing out—go check it out!

I cannot rave enough about this place.The staff was super friendly and kind. Checked on us often and you could tell they took pride in what they offered.And the food. My god. The tofu bahn mi was crispy and incredibly good. The bulgogi melt was INSANE. I’ve seriously never had a better melt. And the fried bologna sandwich was otherworldly.All of the sides were so good too. Don’t skip on the Brussels sprouts.Amazing food joint. Excited to visit Seattle again and will be coming back often.

I was here for the Sunday baked goods. I’ve been for dinner and it’s phenomenal. It’s definitely my go to spot for anyone who hasn’t been to west seattle or if I just want some really good food.But for today, I woke up early to get in line before the cookies, cakes, donuts and bacon all get sold out per usual. They have fun with their food, yet take the production of it so seriously. I got a bunch of new stuff this morning but everything I’ve had in the past has been off the hook!Also… the people here are all legit. They all seem to really love what they do. So glad they are in our neighborhood ✊?

The scent of the BBQ draws you in! The short but robust menu makes decisions harder than you think! All of their top favorite mixed drinks are also bottled for 'to go' and packed w potency and flavor like nothing I have ever had So love having this fine homemade food and bar in our neighborhood Thank you!

Delicious food in a warm, cozy little restaurant. It's a good spot for a date or a catch-up session with friends. The service was as good as the food - I highly recommend trying everything and sharing!

DELICIOUS! I've been meaning to come here for a while and so happy I finally made it! We had reservations for 8PM on a Friday. Definitely recommend making reservations because it's a pretty small place and was very busy. We planned to order their Friday special - braised wagyu brisket pot roast - unfortunately it was already sold out. The server told me that if I have a reservation, I can call ahead of time and reserve the special for the day as well. Next time, I'll definitely do that! I ordered the prime bulgogi short rib melt with fries, salad, and brussels sprouts. The melt was to tasty and flavorful! There was a special sauce on it that brought he all the flavors together. I didn't like the salad too much, nothing special about it. But the brussel sprouts were so good! There was a miso glaze on top making them a little sweeter. The fries came with a garlic aioli sauce that was very simple and had a nice crisp. I'd definitely come back to try their specials! Highly recommend!

Love Lady Jaye. Their sandwiches are all super good. I do wish that they had more options that were more classic meat vs sandwich. The fact they don't have mac and cheese as a side is a missed opportunity. 1 entree and 3 sides is definitely enough for 2 to share. I like to do 2 entrees and 1 side, and then have leftovers as wellTheir rice crispies are insanely good but they often run out early in the day. They have a bakery now where you can go get them.

Great food. Great vibes. Great drinks. I think where a lot of these New Americana places fail is weaving all these international flavors together and hitting nothing because their foundation sucks. Lady Jaye has amazing BBQ meat selections to begin with so anything else they throw on top just makes the experience delicious. They stick to what they're good with and new additions just elevate what they have. We ordered the brisket and special and def had enough leftovers for the next day. Their drinks are great and we ordered several. I like that they have a wide range of cocktails that covers the typical as well as off beaten path fares. While not unique I love their mega buttered up unlimited popcorn the most!Definitely recommend!

Visited for dinner on a Saturday evening around 6 pm.Bulgogi was to die for, the sides didn’t disappoint either. About $80 for our meal - two Bulgogi sandwiches, 3 sides, and 2 cocktails. The sandwiches are insanely filling because they're very rich, so expect to have leftovers! The drinks ($13-ish) are small but strong and beautifully made.We made a reservation to sit on the patio and I'm glad we did! Lady Jaye was bustling...the patio is the perfect combo of inside/outside and the reservation made the hostess happy since it's so busy.Service was average, with no issues, and on top of everything we needed. The wait for the meal was a little longer than expected, which made getting it more exciting ?If you're looking for a hip and delicious place to eat - this is the place. Keep in mind they don't serve much in the way of vegetarian food and the menu is limited (only 1 veg main dish). But if youre a carnivore it's worth it!
