Writing on behalf of my better half who is in love with the smoker wagyu cheeseburger!

This place is absolutely legit, and one of the best places to purchase meat (including wagyu and rare cuts/distinct regional sourcing) and enjoy burgers/meat dishes. I subscribe to their weekly newsletter and it's always a pleasure to read, and I've learned so much about the craft of sourcing and quality of meat through it. The wagyu burger is incredible, and the fact that I don't live in West Seattle is mostly why I don't visit more often.

Spent some time at the West Seattle Farmers Market, Easy Street Records, and A la Mode just to make sure I was able to place a takeout order right as Lady Jaye opened at 2pm last Sunday (6/9/24). Ever see the drool worthy food photos for Lady Jaye via Yelp or IG?...exactly! Lady Jaye had been bookmarked forever. Heck, I've been to Little Jaye South already before this first visit to Lady Jaye. I specifically wanted to try their Sunday special, the smoked Delmonico Cheesesteak with housemade cheese whiz, tallow onions, and horseradish mayo encased in a bun and comes with three sides ($30.99). Their website makes online ordering and payment easy peasy via Toast. I wandered over within the 30 minute wait time and was able to sit at their bar counter. Full indoor bar with welcoming staff, plentiful seating, and lots of areas of interest decor wise. Most of the folks were seated in the patio area due to the warm afternoon sunshine. I also caught a glance of the meat shop refrigerated case and some of the bakeshop pop up items too. I appreciated the chilled water from the bartender while I awaited my takeout order. With the signature cheesesteak, I selected as the three sides: potato salad for me, Rub #19 fries for The Homie, and Kale Caesar for me to eat the next day. Once I was handed the goods, definitely I hightailed it across the West Seattle Freeway to 99N via the toll tunnel and was back home in Shoreline in good time. It sure was worth the wait and made for a tasty birthday meal shared with The Homie. Huge cheesesteak and generous sides! I can see why Lady Jaye is very popular and successful in West Seattle (plus Little Jaye South in South Park)...tasty, generous food made with quality, pleasing ingredients! 4 stars for this takeout order with one extra star for the kind, welcoming staff!

LITTLE JAYE - YAY!! Baked goods galore at this small, well managed and delicious cafe in sleepy but waking up South Park - unproper (509 and Cloverdale). A little pricey but if you go between 2-3 pm there 50% happy hour on cookies etc.. will make you cry in delight. If HH isn't your thing, all items are well worth full price and any baked item (fruity pebble crispy treat), or savory breakfast item like sausage gravy or egg smashwich will sure to delight. Staff is cool and free refills on coffee too, but beware, this place is busy with a bountiful of sitting and the outdoor area is sure to accommodate parties of 3 or more!!

My husband and I had a wonderful dining experience at Lady Jaye on a chilly Friday night. Although we were surprised to find that most of the patio tables were reserved when we arrived at 5:30pm, we were able to snag a spot at the cozy fire pit table. The ambiance on the patio was as warm as it could be even though it was a bit windy and chilly, and we really appreciated that the patio is dog-friendly, which allowed us to bring our girls along. We started off with some complimentary truffle popcorn, which was fresh popped and tasty. For drinks, I tried the Guns and Rosemary cocktail, which was perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. Jason opted for an Old Fashioned before also switching to the Guns and Rosemary. For our entrees, Jason tried the smoked filet mignon special, which came with a house black stallion rub, a buttermilk biscuit, and a choice of sides. He chose the Brussels sprouts and potato salad, both of which were excellent (I couldn't keep my hands off his food! lol). The filet had a wonderful smoky flavor, and the rub had a nice hint of horseradish. I decided on the cornmeal-Old Bay crusted fried white prawns with tartar sauce, which were absolutely delicious. The tartar sauce paired perfectly with the crispy cornmeal and Old Bay coating on the prawns. The service at Lady Jaye is always attentive, and you can tell that the staff genuinely enjoys working there and believes in what they're putting out there. Their passion for the food and cocktails really shines through in the quality and consistency of their offerings. Our dogs had a great time too, enjoying the attention from the friendly staff and greeting other diners on the patio. Being able to bring our dogs along for a casual dinner is important to us, and we're so glad that Lady Jaye welcomes them on the patio. Overall, we had an amazing time dining on the patio at Lady Jaye. The food, drinks, service, ambiance, and dog-friendly atmosphere were all stellar, and we can't wait to come back and try more of their rotating specials. If you're looking for an unforgettable meal that you can enjoy with or without your furry friends, Lady Jaye is the place to go!
