Outsiders has a solid smoky, flavorful bbq for sure! I had the burnt ends which were pleasantly fatty, as they should be. The fries were crispy and not greasy. And the bread was golden brown, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The sauce is probably more southern... which is fine. In KC it sweeter... but the important part is the meat. Do this! Go here! Try it! We will be back. Seating was great, spacious..indoor and outdoor seating. Clean and like dining in the back yard. The staff was very kind and the wait was not long...and they were very busy since we came on July 4th.

They are high volume, so have your order ready with few question. They don't like that. Come early, prepare to joust for seating. We spent ~$160 (family of 5), I'll stay agnostic on value, as this is a labor intensive dish. I think better can be had elsewhere.

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.

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.

There's street parking only so ease depends on the hour/day. Staff let us know everything is made in house with love so they can run out of a lot of different things if you come late. For my visit I got the boneless jerk chicken meal with a side of baked beans and Mac and cheese. Based of first impressions, the protein portion looked like half the amount and I expected more for a $22 meal. The chicken was lightly seasoned but came with a sauce that was robust and spicy. The Mac and cheese was pretty heavy but very seasoned and creamy which was nice. The baked beans were like typical bbq baked beans but with a bit more spice. Cornbread was nothing special.

A solid option for KBBQ that's in Seattle proper and affordable is a rare find. This place runs…read morewell, has good meats, and good service. 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. It wasn't very busy but the people at the bar were extremely loud and most likely drunk. Food finally got ordered and arrived. My chicken sandwich was wrong and didn't come with any sides. 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..

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."
