Get there early! The truck opened at 11am in Bellevue - I got there around 11:35 and there were already ~30 people in line. It took me about 30-35 minutes to place an order and another 2 minutes or so to get my food. By the time I reached the front, they were already out of gumbo, jambalaya and rice & beans. Prices are a little on the high side ($9-12 for po boys) but the sandwiches are quite hefty. I really enjoyed the oyster po boy as it actually tasted like oysters and not just fried batter, though there was a little too much bread (it was better as an open-faced sandwich). They said their most popular item is the pork po boy, which I took a bite of - very flavorful and would definitely be my order for the next visit. The real winner here is the beignets ($4 for 3) - they tasted almost exactly like the ones from Cafe du Monde in New Orleans. Perfectly fried and covered with a thick layer of powdered sugar - yum! Overall, the food is reasonable/good for the prices but not sure it's worth a 30+ minute wait. read more

Tried this out with a co-worker after hearing great things. The staff was really friendly and I was shocked at how fast our food came! I got the Shrimp Po' Boy and it was just ok. I liked that the shrimp was fried in cornmeal but for some reason I think it made the sandwich taste really dry. There was no mayo on the bread- just in the slaw- which I think contributed to the dryness. My coworker got a sandwich and the beignets- didn't hear much about the sandwich but she loved the beignets! I might come back to try the shrimp and grits since I keep seeing great reviews about the truck- maybe I just ordered the wrong thing. read more

Peace maker was freakin delicious!!Will get something from this food truck every time I see it!!

I'll probably visit this truck again, although my first visit was disappointing. I had the oyster po' boy, which was just okay (not great for $10). The oysters were all right, but one was a little sandy. I didn't care for the Mama Lil's pickles at all, and I LOVE Mama Lil's products. I know nothing about po' boys, but for me, those pickles stepped on the rest of the flavors. If the sandwich had cost $5, I would have thought it a good deal, but it was pretty spendy for a lackluster product. I also know nothing about beignets. I found them to be heavier than I expected, and I wasn't prepared for them to be so bulky. That might be my problem, since I'm accustomed to doughnuts. Perhaps if the beignets were smaller, we'd have liked them better. read more

My husband has Thursdays off and has made a recent habit of picking up a sandwich and beignets for me and I have to say that Thursday is now my favorite lunch day! I've tried the portabella mushroom sandwich and the blackened shrimp sandwich and they are both delicious! The beignets are to die for. Find Where Ya at Matt right away! read more

I have been here three times. Each time I ask for NO AOILI on my po boy. Everytime I get all the way back to work (decent walk) and my sandwich is so slathered in aioli the bun is soaked and the sandwich is unsalvageable. I would go get my money back, but it's kind of a pain in the ass walk and I have work to do. I will never eat at this food truck again, 3 strikes and you're out. read more

pork po boy! granny smith apple slaw.. delicious! Seriously guys. The food here is delicious and they are FAST! I am so glad that they include Georgetown in their rotation of locations so that I can drop by here for lunch. I really took a chance getting a sandwich with slaw on it, but I was pleasantly surprised. Granny smith slaw is the only slaw I like!! Yum! read more

Where Ya At Matt - That cooler has Mexican coca-cola in it! - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is the first time I have ever been here or even heard of this place. I had a pulled pork po boy and it could quite possibly be one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. At least top 5 candidate The flavor is BIG! Very savory meat and crispy tasty coleslaw piled on top to give it a great balance of textures. The bread is super quality, and doesn't go soggy while holding a sloppy load of pulled pork goodness. This place is the truth! read more

Came here on a Sat around 11:20 and they still weren't open yet. They didn't start taking orders until 11:40! I got the Shrimp Po Boy and the Creole Pork. The Shrimp Po Boy was okay but the Creole Pork was terrible. The pork was tough and the flavor was too Cajun for my taste. Overall I'm not feelin this place and the service at all. Matt, I don't care where you at because I won't be back. read more

Where Ya At Matt - Shrimp Po Boy - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Seattle, Washington

See all

I went to New Orleans and the standard price for po boys is around 9 dollars. I love the food and the service. I always steal me a hug when I leave. Shrimp po boy is beatin like a foster mother!!! read more

The food is good. I don't think the prices are justified (but I say that for 99% of Seattle's Grease Trucks). The jambalaya is such a small portion for the price. You get a lot of meat but not much else. I have to make a slide of rice every time I order it just to balance it out. The po boys are tasty but the peacemaker isn't worth it just like the T-shirt you have to read to understand what is in the peacemaker. The guy taking orders at first had a bad attitude but later gave me a smile and a less superior attitude. read more

I ordered a small gumbo ($5) and Matt's seasonal Pumpkin Beignets ($5). The gumbo is the traditional chicken and sausage variety, with rice, roux, bell peppers, and all the other fixin's. The pumpkin beignets intrigued me: pillows of deep-fried dough anointed with Matt's secret pumpkin pie sauce and dusted with powdered sugar (of course, the regular beignets are similar, just without the pumpkin pie sauce). It's not every day that I can find a truck that serves beignets, let alone any type of creole cuisine. The hearty, delicious gumbo was delicious. It didn't come at me with an overkill of flavors, but instead channeled the comfort food vibe from Matt's truck to my stomach. It's a dish I could eat every week, no doubt about that. And then I got to the pumpkin beignets, which I'll basically sum up as unfairly good. It made me so happy that I don't have to travel to New Orleans to get the real deal. The pumpkin pie sauce was off-the-charts awesome, and even though remnants of the powdered sugar got on the table -- and heck, even on me -- it was well worth every penny spent. Just killer food here! read more

I found Matt in SLU today! What an amazing culinary experience from a street vendor. I couldn't decide between the pork po' boy or the red beans and rice, but went with the pork. The cilantro pesto was just right, not too overpowering. Granny smith apple slaw added the perfect crunch, tartness, and freshness. The pork was very flavorful with a little kick, but perhaps a touch too salty. My friend ordered a jumbalaya. Wow! That was ridiculously good too. So here we go: Quality: 5 Quantity: 5 Value: 4 ($8 for an amazing sandwich) Cleanliness: 5 Pros: Tasty sandwich on excellent bread Cons: Pork just a little salty, but I will overlook it this time and will definitely return! read more

Exactly! Where ya at Matt? Your shrimp po boy had undercooked, barely battered shrimp and a pathetic attempt at condiments. The cheese grits were overprocessed gruel. To add insult to injury, a 50 cent surcharge for card purchases. First truck I've seen this at in Seattle. Anyone with a palate - don't waste your time or money. Clearly Matt isn't anywhere. read more

This food is crazy delicious, and I don't even normally tend to gravitate towards Cajun food. I've never been to New Orleans so I can't vouch that this is authentic, but I don't care--it tastes so good! I've tried many of the items on their menu, and each thing is better than the next. You absolutely can't go wrong with this place!! read more

The Roast Beef was awesome, and the beignets are to die for. I'll be coming back to try the red beans & rice and jambalaya.

Found the truck at the Seattle Street Food Festival...only went because my Dad called from L.A. & told me to check them out...I had the Jambalaya & Beignets & the wife had the Shrimp Po-Boy. We sampled each others dish. The Jambalaya was pretty good except the rice was slightly under cooked. Other than that it was alrigt. The Shrimp Po-Boy however was great...fresh shrimp (fried perfectly)...spicy pickles...I Loved it!!! While we were eating our entrees the Beignets were cooling & by the time we got to them...they were still warm but not too much...which made them PERFECT!!! Definitely worth another visit!!! read more

Holy moly this place is amazing. Best beignets I've ever had in my life. Forget the sad crap Toulouse calls beignets, these ones will change your life! Not a huge fan of fried oyster po'boys, but these were top notch. I found it to be a bit too saucy so I just ask for less sauce. Amazing and I look forward to Friday food trucks lunch. Makes a work day go by quicker. read more

Phenomenal food! Friendly service, had it all set up for people distancing. We ordered jambalaya,gumbo it was so flavorful. It was spicy but that's what makes creole food creole food. For a diet splurge order the beignets they are out of this world!!! read more

I've had Where Ya At Matt a handful of times. I first caught wind of the food truck after I saw coworkers carrying around white paper bags stuffed with powder-sugar coated pillows of goodness (beignets), so I decided to check it out. The first time I went there I ordered a Peacemakers' Po Boy. The meat was crunchy and juicy, it was a very texture contrast to the bread that was soft and light. The flavors were good; however, there was a lot of mayonnaise and I loathe mayo, so I now know that Po Boys aren't for me. If you're looking for someone to give a good Po Boy review, I'm probably not your guy because I am not the biggest fan of mayo. That being said, it did taste good. The beignets are really good. They're light, fluffy, and airy. There's a light crunchy to them (because they're fried dough), but it's like eating fried pillows. There is about a pound of powder sugar in the bag to accompany the beignets and it definitely provides the right about of sweetness for it. Without powdered sugar it's like eating a plain doughnut, but with powder sugar it's very, very good and addicting. Also, be prepared to get powder sugar everywhere because it's nearly impossible to eat these without making a mess - if you're eating them the right way (with lots of powdered sugar). Because of the mayo and the revelation that Po Boys aren't for me, I was content on not going back unless I wanted beignets, that was until a dreary rainy day where I forgot my lunch. I went out to the food trucks, saw that there was gumbo and decided to give it a try. Wow... and I mean wow! The gumbo is incredibly good. I've had a lot of gumbo (granted only in Seattle) and I've not come across any that are as good as this (though Restaurant Roux is pretty good). I'm not 100 percent sure what's in the gumbo, but from what I can gather there's the "holy trinity" (onions, celery, and bell peppers), as well as chicken, andouille sausage, green onions, rice, and I'm not sure what other ingredients and spicers are in there. What do I do know is that it hits you in the mouth with such great bursts of flavor. (This gumbo provides me with such great joy). There's a nice soft kick of heat to it, maybe from cayenne, that adds really nice depth to the it. The sausage also has a little kick to it as well and the chicken balances it out by being a very mild flavor. The rice just soaks up the broth gumbo and is a nice texture addition. It's stupidly good. If I could fill up a bathtub with the gumbo and bathe in it I would. I would go on a game show, submerge myself, and eat my way out if I had to - it's that good. I'm not going to say it's my absolute favorite thing to eat, but I'm also not going to say it isn't. The cornbread is good, taste like normal cornbread. Because it's nothing special, I probably wouldn't buy it again. I'd probably want twice the amount of corn bread at the price it's sold for. I've also tried the jambalaya as well. It's pretty good. It's one of the better jambalaya's that I've had. It's got good flavor, similar to the gumbo, but it's less soupy and (If I remember correctly) has shrimp which is a nice addition/flavor change up. Anyway - get the gumbo and if you don't mind mayo get a Po Boy too, because they are good. Where Ya At Matt is one of my favorite food trucks that I've had the pleasure of eating at. read more

Had the Oyster Po' Boy (my first po' boy ever!) here outside of the Seahawks game right before their win over Green Bay (controversy! Go Hawks!). It was great! Crunchy, yummy, great buns, messy in just the right way (not too much!). Oysters could be a bit bigger but it was so yummy and filling, who can complain! Great price too. read more

I had WYAM yesterday at the Mobile Food Truck Rodeo. I love Southern food like nobody's business. I just wish that their Po Boys were half the price for half the size so that I could have justified getting the Shrimp n Grits as well. The line moved swiftly (the "Wrangler" at this truck was really on top of it), the guys working the truck were friendly - even though they were clearly swamped, and my Shrimp Po Boy came out quickly enough. The Shrimp were coated in corn meal and were super crispy, perfectly cooked and hot. The slaw was nice too - vinegary, which balanced out the sandwich. My only complaint would be that it was haphazardly tossed together, so the first few bites were of a plain soft roll with shrimp in it - it eventually got better and better as we ate the Po Boy because the lettuce and vinaigrette were all on the second half - as well as the toasted bread. I'd hunt them down again - and next time, Shrimp and Grits are going into my belly. read more

It's hard to find good Po' Boys around the NW... These are pretty good. There is a nice selection and they are loaded. I really enjoyed the shrimp. They were a good size; not the popcorn small guys and also not too big. The bread did get a little soggy, but because it tasted good I can overlook that. The Beingets were outstanding. If you get them order the coffee, they go hand in hand. I was not a huge fan of the Mufaletta, a bit too salty for my taste, but for those who like Mufas, I think you will enjoy it. Friendly quick service and easy to find... at least in Georgetown. read more

Checked them out at the mobile chowdown, pretty good overall. I got a shrimp po boy which had fresh bread, crisp veggies and I really liked the dressing. What I didn't like was the shrimp tasted a little fishy, not sure how fresh it was or maybe it's deep fried in the same fryer as the oysters and left some flavor on them? Tried the jambalaya, was on par with any other restaurant I've had. The show stealer for me were the beignets, they were awesome. Very soft and remind me of a sweet version of crazy bread in nugget form. If I ever get back there, I'll be ordering the beef po boy and of course some beignets. read more

Delicious New Orleans fare. Try the beignets and the shrimp po'boy. read more

Where Ya At Matt - 3/17/11 Georgetown - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Seattle, Washington

See all

Where Ya at Matt has numerous New Orleans soul food dishes. Some of these items, mentioned by other yelpers, are full of flavor, POW!, and some lacking thereof. Last week a couple buddies and I went to check out Matt's in South Lake Union and had: -andouille sausage po boy (4star) -smothered chicken po boy (3star) -shrimp po boy (1star) -andouille sausage gumbo (5star) Before I get to the po boys, I have to say the gumbo is awesome. I love me some gumbo and Matt's is on point. It is hearty enough and who doesn't like andouille sausage? The spice level is perfect. Just enough spiciness to get you that flavor everyone eats spicy food for without being too spicy to the point where it puts your tongue out of commission for the rest of the meal. Matt's po boys all have one thing in common, well executed bread/bun (not sure what it's referred as when talking about a po boy). It is toasted and dense enough to soak up the juices of whichever filling you decide to get. Both the andouille sausage and smothered chicken po boys were spot on. Definitely worth checking out, if the gumbo was already not good enough reason to. What surprised me was the shrimp po boy. The ingredients were good and of expected quality, however the seasoning was lacking. Not a lot of flavor here. Basically a bun with some breaded and fried shrimp topped off with some lettuce. Not recommended and definitely not the best representation of what Matt's offerings. In summary a solid destination for lunch. Fresh ingredients, hearty, and, for the most part, flavorful. Where you at Matt is another fine addition to Seattle's gourmet truck food scene. Things to try or have again next time I go (next wed): -beef and gravy po boy -andouille sausage gumbo -shrimp and grits -cat fish po boy -sweet potato pie read more

I may have found my taste buds' soulmate in their Cajun Pork Po' Boy. Enough for 2 meals, really. And what a stroke of genius, putting that thinly-sliced apple on the sandwich! The only thing I added was a little Louisiana Style Hot Sauce from the Gumbo Shop. HEAVEN! read more

The Po boys I've had here are delicious. The shrimp and grits are also lovely. But if I don't have a sweet potato pie to take home I am filled with regret later. The perfect combination of savory and sweet, this little pie always delivers. Where Ya At Matt is also one of the few food trucks to park it in Magnolia, which is another plus. Sometimes I want something tasty without having to go all the way to Capitol Hill. A reliable standard. Thanks for the fresh grub and the friendly attitude! read more

The rain didn't put a damper on lunch today as a friend and I both enjoyed tasty gumbo and beignets from a friendly crew. I liked the gumbo, while it was fairly flavorful I would have preferred a bit more heat from the spice. My friend however, thought the gumbo was terrific. As for the beingnets, lovely!! We'll both be back. And, now that I've read about the planed permanent kitchen at the old Buckaroo space I'm eager to try Matt's fare seated in a proper dining room too! read more

Went back today to try another shrimp poboy. WOW! It was 100% better than last time. I was so happy that I tried again! Far more flavorful, the bread was better (not a soggy mess), it was spicy & seemed it even had more shrimp. (And, not all just pickle flavor!) In fact, I'm not sure it had pickles & if not .... I prefer it that way. Really an awesome poboy this time. Got beignets and shrimp & grits (for later) which were excellent last time, so, a must have this time. I must have hit them on an off day with my first poboy. I'll likely return every week now when they are in Bellevue! Thanks for a great lunch & later....a great dinner! read more

Poboys for lunch, yes please! My favorite item is the shrimp poboy. Everything is well executed with its light, cornmeal batter on juicy shrimp. They keep the toppings simple with spread, tomato and lettuce on a French roll. You'll often see Where Ya At Matt with the longest line. Always worth the wait, don't settle for some of the lesser food trucks. read more

Simply delicious! Enjoyed a Muffuletta today. Looking forward to sampling the Bread Pudding and Beignets at the 4th Annual Blues for Food Fest this Saturday (www.bluesforfoodfest.org)! read more

Where Ya At Matt - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Food = yummy Trucks = cool Food from truck = awesome. Usually. This time is not an exception. I'm not overly familiar with Creole cuisine, so I can't say that I have a huge basis to judge on, but this was good. I don't know what makes a po boy different from a sub per se, and some people might find that sacrilege, but I do know that the andouille sausage one I had was excellent. The sausage itself had a nice burn at the end of it, and the slaw and pickles in the well toasted bun were superlative. One of those places where I feel almost compelled to try everything on the menu because they will all be different kinds of (but no less) goodness for my mouth. read more

Went here for lunch while it was parked at the Barnes & Noble in Bellevue. We made sure to show up early. Around noon, the line can get super long and there is a higher chance they can run out of some of the food. I got the gumbo and cornbread. Very filling and super flavorful. I enjoyed it. My friends both got po boys and really liked them. read more

Best Cajun/creole food on the west coast. I've been following this truck for many years and the food never disappoints. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu read more

The catfish is just right! I took a chance on the food truck last week, and am glad I did - as soon as I saw the catfish poboy sandwich on the menu, I had to try it, and I was richly rewarded! I don't know how they get it so right in the mobile truck, but this perfection. The breading is very light, like a breadcrumb crust, and not oily at all. And the fish inside was perfectly cooked, very tender and plenty o' catfish flavor. And, it's plenty big, almost too much for 1 sitting for me. I've had it twice now, and exactly the same both times. The sandwich is a full 5 stars - I gave a 4-star rating because the sides were pretty ordinary. read more

Gumbo wasn't spicy at all, and tasted like chef boy r d. Disappointing. Service was quick but for 10$ I would have expected this food truck to deliver on the flavor. Overall the gumbo was really bland. Maybe their other food is better? read more

Oh, tasty goodness. After experiencing Where ya at Matt? at the this summer's Moblie Chowdown, I began checking and checking to see if they were ever near me. Seemingly unable to be anywhere near the truck, I was a little too excited to walk out of a meeting and see the truck right in front of me. Callooh, callay! To add to my excitement, they had a fried green tomato Po' Boy with blackened shrimp. It was soooooo tasty. And juicy and spicy and crunchy and all of the textures one would want from such a sandwich. On top of the incredibly tasty sandwich, the guys there were super nice. Only downside -- I think I stained my favorite jeans with the sauce that dripped from my sandwich. Sigh. read more

NOM NOM NOM!! I have to say, I have read about this food on blogs and in newspapers for weeks now, and am so glad I finally tracked the truck down and tried it! Where Ya At Matt showed up at the QA farmer's market yesterday for the final market of the season, and there was already a line forming at the truck before they were even open and ready to serve people. They were definitely hustling to set everything up so they could serve the eager, hungry customers who were practically drooling while waiting in line. Matt himself takes the orders down the line, and passed out paper bags with 2 beignets each in them to the handful of us waiting, stating it was something to munch on while we waited, but we had to eat them while they're hot (usually $4 for 3, or $5 with coffee). I wasn't sure if I wanted to spoil my po'boy by filling up on dessert first, but boy am I glad I did! The soft, tender and fluffy little balls of goodness dipped in a tremendous amount of powdered sugar are almost dount-like, but not greasy or laden with too-sweet frosting. They are perfect little puffy pillows that I want to eat constantly. I was so grateful to have those to munch on, and thoroughly enjoy, and I thought it was a really great customer service move--we were all highly satisfied and didn't mind the wait once we got the beignets! I ordered an oyster po'boy ($9) based off the recommendations I'd read. I'm sort of wishing I ordered the Peacemaker which is the oyster po'boy with bacon and goodies...but the one I got really hit the spot! The oysters were plentiful, juicy and plump, and covered in a delicate yet crunchy and NOT greasy breading. There was a nice amount of lettuce/pickles/peppers with a light dressing that complemented the crispy oysters. Finally, words cannot even describe the amazing bread that encompasses the lip-smacking filling of the po'boy. All I can say, is perfect ratio of bread-to-filling, crispy crunchy crust yet still soft and chewy at the same time...it's a miracle if you ask me...every sandwich should have this type of bread! Thanks Matt for bringing your amazing talent and flair for N'awlins food to the streets of Seattle! read more

Shrimpalicious -- Shrimpalooza -- Shrimporama!! Had to check Matt's out after seeing the 50 person line at Mobile Chowdown. It was worth the wait! Tried the shrimp po' boy--INCREDIBLE, it was packed with shrimp, done to perfection , crunchy outside (cornmeal in the batter?) and succulent on the inside, the bread was perfect, lettuce, tomato, dash of hot sauce--my mouth is watering!! Gotta say, it is tough to decide on what to try next--gumbo, red beans & rice--so many choices! read more
