Lady Jaye – Cozy Patio Perfection on California Ave! ​If you're looking for the best spot in West Seattle for a great drink, a fantastic burger, and a cozy atmosphere, look no further than Lady Jaye on California Avenue. ​This place is truly an all-season gem, thanks to their incredible patio. It’s the perfect escape, especially on a chilly evening. Cozying up around the fire pit with a cocktail or a local brew makes you feel like you've found a secret cabin right in the middle of the city. ​The food is just as impressive. Their Wagyu Smash Burger is absolutely killer—juicy, smoky (thanks to their in-house smoker!), and perfectly balanced with all the classic fixings. Pair it with their signature Ranch Fries or the Waffle Fries for the ultimate comfort meal.

One of my favorite places in Seattle. They recently revamped their menu to focus on sandwiches but the quality remains very high. I've stopped their twice since the revamp first time getting their Fried Chicken sandwich, which is probably one of the best you can get in this area of the city. Picture shown is of the Smoked Tofu Banh Mi, which was also very good. Both portion sizes were extremely generous. Looking forward to trying the other items in the future.

Why We Chose the Wagyu Smash Burger

We chose the smash burger for one simple reason: max flavor. 

Pressing the patty hard onto a blazing-hot flat-top, well, that creates a deep, crispy crust impossible to get from a regular grill. To elevate this perfection, we knew we had to use American Wagyu. Japanese A5 is excellent but rich. American Wagyu delivers the ideal amount of marbling and tenderness without overwhelming your precious palate. 

It’s the sweet spot of buttery flavor, beefy richness, and smashing success that makes our burger simply unmatched.

Lady Jaye in the press

“This West Seattle smokehouse knows its way around wood like Steve Martin knows his way around a banjo. And while you would have a great meal here any night of the week, Lady Jaye’s Thursday-only smoked wagyu cheeseburger is something to plan around.” – The infatuation
