**The Absolute Best BBQ in Seattle! ** If you want…read moreworld-class Central Texas barbecue with an incredible Mediterranean twist, Outsider BBQ is the real deal. The outdoor beer garden setup is fantastic--massive picnic tables, fire pits, great music, and an incredible craft beer selection on tap. Even better, **dogs are completely welcome**, making it the ultimate spot to hang out on a weekend afternoon. The food here is spectacular. The slow-smoked meats are incredibly juicy, and the sauces and sides are absolutely yum! They put a brilliant Mediterranean spin on the menu, featuring items like a tangy yogurt-dressed potato salad with a touch of sumac, and a pomegranate glaze on the pork belly that cuts through the richness perfectly. Everything is served up with excellent, fresh bread for making the ultimate custom bites. But the real showstopper? The **banana pudding dessert is completely out of this world**. It's thick, rich, and perfectly layered--easily the best sweet finish to a barbecue meal in the city. On top of the killer food, the owner, Onur, is incredibly attentive, welcoming, and passionate about his craft. He is constantly checking in, sharing his process, and ensuring everyone has an amazing experience. Outstanding food, great beer, dog-friendly vibes, and top-tier hospitality. 10/10 recommended!

So happy I finally got to try Outsider BBQ after hearing about it for so long! My friends and I got…read morea huge combo, we tried a pound of every meat. There were 9 of us and it was a perfect amount of food. Meats - Brisket: amazing, great texture and flavorful - Spare ribs: great, just as I expected them to be - Pulled pork, sausages, pork belly: these were all alright. nothing to write home about. - Pulled lamb: I haven't seen pulled lamb at a bbq place before, so this was interesting. I quite liked the chimichurri sauce. Sides - Corn pudding and Street corn were my favorites. - Potato salad had way too much dill, least favorite by far. - Mac and cheese was good but basic :) - Kale salad was alright, didn't stand out too much. It was so busy that we had to wait around 5-10 minutes for a table to open up, and our food was ready shortly after that. I'd recommend eating the food there while it's warm and fresh... but if you can't find table space, eat it in your car!

Friday's special was beef rib tacos. The special comes with one side. I opted for Mac and cheese. My plate also came with chips and salsa, a nice surprise. The taco had a generous portion of beef rib meat. They may look small, but two tacos are very filling. The Mac and cheese was also delicious. This will definitely fill you up if you're hungry.

For the brisket, they give you one fattier slice and another leaner slice. It was tender, though I wish it was a bit juicier. The ribs had great flavor, and the BBQ sauce was solid. The mac and cheese and cornbread were both really good, though I wasn't much of a fan of the coleslaw. Other than that, everything was enjoyable. Service was great and everyone was very friendly.

Wouldn't change a thing. With all the complaining about prices I was shocked to see that they are printed on the menu board for all to say, in advance of placing your order. So I remain confused about how you agree to the price, order it, and then publicly complain about the price.

Staff and service were great!…read more The brisket was surprisingly bad; very dry, a bit hard, and no flavor. It would be considered bad if it was from a grocery store prepared food counter, but from an actual BBQ place and at this price, it was inexcusably bad. The pulled pork was also very dry and not good. Not sure what's going on... hopefully it's just a fluke because I like coming here. Sweet potato fries were great, moist, flavorful. Mac n cheese was a bit bland and needed flavor or something else added. Collard greens were pretty good and flavorful and moist.

Perhaps the best in the city. The jerk chicken is awesome and the staff is top notch.read more

The "upper tier" of AYCE isn't too bad at $46, and in the 120 minute time limit you can really enjoy a wide selection of high quality meats. My favorites were the wagyu toro, rib finger meat, wagyu short rib, sliced lamb shoulder, beef belly, and the tiger prawns. I always get lots of kimchi and sliced radish to eat it with for varied texture/flavor. Sides are not as good as a standard Korean restaurant, but the standard items are there. Meat comes out quickly once you order, and the pace at which you are allowed to order is plenty, or at least it was for a party of 2. They come by to switch out the grill frequently, so even though there aren't vents right over the grill, it doesn't tend to get too smoky. This is definitely a grill it yourself place, so just be aware that this is not one of those kbbq places where staff tends to the grill. The ipad works well for ordering and the user interface is easy.

Host said no and walked off. Took about 20 minutes just to order drinks. Those took another ten minutes to arrive.

The waitress was annoyed when we asked for a refill and said those aren't free and took ten minutes to return with another. Table next to us had to stand up to finally get their bill. Food was rather poor and the service was really bad. If your want to eat somewhere that's not really loud I'd pass on Lady Jaye. Don't think I'll return ever..

To get your money's worth, my recommendation is to order all the meat you can eat to start with and leave out the veggies, appetizers, etc. to the end - you may not even want any of it by the time you're done with their meat selection. Also try their ice cream machine for dessert. Overall it's a great place to dine at and the staff are very friendly. There's plenty of parking on-site. Will definitely be back!

It's an all-you-can-eat with a coal grill, and you get 90 minutes once you're seated, so come hungry and ready to order. The staff was excellent super friendly, helpful, and quick with taking orders, clearing dishes, and swapping out the grill without us ever having to ask. For just $5 more, the premium menu is 100% worth it especially for the wagyu. Everything we tried was delicious, but our favorites were the wagyu cubes and the lollipop lamb chops. On top of that, they offer a salad bar, fruit/dessert, and a sauce station to round out the meal. The atmosphere was another highlight: modern, clean, and comfortable, which made the experience even better. The only downside is the time limit, but honestly, 90 minutes was plenty for us to enjoy everything. Overall, we loved our visit and will definitely be coming back!

Legend has it that tens of thousands of years ago, our ancestors lived by eating raw meat and…read moredrinking blood. One day, lightning struck a tree, causing a massive forest fire that killed many animals. Our ancestors then discovered that cooked meat tasted much better than raw meat. This is why roast meat has always been regarded as an important part of the human diet. Today I gathered with friends and chose this barbecue restaurant. It's located north of Redmond, with a prominent sign and plenty of parking. Ambiance: The decor is creative, but it feels quite contradictory. Barbecue is inherently a very "Jianghu" (lively, rough-and-tumble) kind of thing, yet the restaurant leans toward an artistic, literary style. When I used to run my own restaurant, I followed a principle: avoid anything unrelated to the core dining experience. Seeing many books on the shelves here, I understand they're trying to bridge Jianghu and artistry -- but it clearly feels out of place. That said, the place is very clean, and the stickers/decorations are festive. Service: My high rating for this restaurant is largely based on the service. After we sat down, we were given free appetizers -- braised peanuts, which tasted great. The staff training is very professional, whether it's taking orders, making recommendations, attending to us during the meal, or checking on tables and refilling water. All excellent. Taste: Jianghu-style cuisine is characterized by boldness, satisfaction, and not sweating the small details. We ordered spicy hot pot (Malatang), spicy hot pot skewers, grilled beef, lamb, chicken gizzards, oysters, and many other items. First, the Malatang and spicy skewers tasted almost identical, so it felt like eating the same thing. The grilled skewers were just average -- neither good nor bad. The oysters were very tasty. However, the shrimp in the spicy skewers were very unfresh, which was disappointing. "By the way, the prices at 'Friendship Skewers' are anything but friendly -- I think it's quite overpriced overall."
