Tried this place because everyone said it was the best. It was seriously overpriced for mediocre food. Dont believe the hype! Jemil's Big Easy is way better. I was very disappointed. read more

I've visited this truck twice and have had the following items: oyster po boy, big bold pork po boy, shrimp po boy, jambalaya, red beans & rice, and the beignets. I started with the beignets. So good. Freshly fried and dunked in powder sugar, the outside was perfectly golden and crispy, while the insides were so soft and steamy. I was wearing dark clothes that day, and I ended up covered in powdered sugar. The oyster po boy was love at first bite. Breaded and deep fried fresh oysters lined up on a soft, yet sturdy white bread stuffed with dressed lettuce and tomatoes. So delicious -- the smooth texture of the oysters combined with the crunch of the veggies and chewiness of the bread was perfect. The flavors are so fresh and well balanced. This is my favorite. I liked it so much I came back a second time to get another one, but alas, they sold out as I was waiting in the line that snaked through the lot. Since I couldn't get my favorite po boy the second time, the bf and I opted to try the big bold pork and the shrimp po boy...in addition to a bowl each of the red beans & rice and jambalaya. If I had just eaten the oyster po boy and beignets from this place, I would have given it five stars. However, the reason why I didn't give five stars was because of the red rice and beans. I found this dish to be kind of lopsided. The beans were too salty and too smokey. If perhaps there was a greater ratio of rice to beans, it would have helped to balance it out. The rice was also very soft. I'm not an expert on Creole food, but after about three bites, I wasn't too keen on finishing the rest. The jambalaya, albeit tasty was also over-salted. I found it to distract from the natural flavors of the chicken, andouille sausage and shrimp. The po boys I chose in place of the oyster were great, even if they weren't my favorite. I personally would seafood over land meat anytime, so my preferences are a bit biased. However, the pork in this instance was definitely more exciting than the shrimp. The pork is cooked in a heavy dark sauce with flavors that I can't identify, but know that I like. Thin slices of apple is then layered on the meat topped with a cole slaw...such a wonderful sandwich. I like my sandwiches large and complicated and this one surely was. The shrimp was prepared in the same fashion as the oyster, but the shrimp was a little bland and I wished I had a giant tub of aioli to dunk the sandwich in, but it wasn't bad by any means. The food here is great, even if there are a few items on the menu that I would opt not to order my next visit. To top off the gastronomical experience, I get my Where Ya At Matt fix at the South Lake Union location, which is right next to a park, which is just the right place to sit and really enjoy the food. read more

Good soulful food, prompt and friendly staff. I like the breading on the oyster po-boy. Oysters are fresh and tasty and the bread is soft and slightly crusty. The catfish po-boy was good, but the catfish is not as fresh as the oysters. Gumbo and jambalaya are flavorful, a bit on the salty side and could use less meat and more rice. Red beans and rice are better without sausage. I love that they are in Belltown on Mondays! I work from home and Matt's truck is a block away! I like having this ethnic option in Belltown! read more

What can one add that others have not already said? All of the praise is true and deserved. We've worked our way through about half of the menu and most of it is not just good, I wouldn't even say great... Most of the food caused me to roll my eyes back into my head and a pleasurable moan to slip from my lips. I am not exaggerating. I'm not familiar with Cajun food so I cannot compare. But if the food is half as good as Where Ya At Matt down there, I'm glad I don't live close. I would be fatter then I already am. Perhaps happier but definitely fatter. read more

Another of our favorite Washington Brewersfest locations. My wife absolutely loves this place. She will get this once for sure every beerfest, but will sometimes hit it once a day. If for no other reason she does it for the Beignets. I have tried some of the food and have seen other things that I must try next year. I hope to see them every year at Washington Brewersfest!! read more

Can't complain, the food is tasty and the prices affordable. The roving food truck makes the experience even more enjoyable and personal. I look forward to following Matt and the truck around Seattle. read more

Really enjoyed the jambalaya I ate today. The heat in it was just perfect. Spicy right up to the little sweat under my eyes, but not too spicy so I couldn't enjoy the whole bowl and the flavors. The beignets were good but they were served in the bag with far too much powered sugar. There was atleast a half of a cup in the bag left after I we were done eating. Overall an excellent meal. read more

Very surprised by how much I enjoyed this food truck. Killer Po Boy and the Beignets are delicious. The hype surrounding this truck is well deserved. read more

BAM! I went here after reading about it in a local magazine. SOOOOO good! The Po Boy was AWESOME, and i'm not even much of a sandwich eater. Gumbo and Jambalya also awesome. Would be 5 star, but it's so popular, the line took awhile, and a little on the pricey end for me. I'm cheap though. haha read more

Where Ya At Matt? has been stationed near my office through the summer and I finally tried it last month. The jambalaya was outstanding. Full of flavor, decent amount of heat, and incredibly satisfying. read more

Kind of an odd location in SLU, but they're super fast and the food is pretty darn good. And if you're looking for gluten free options, just ask for a po' boy without the bread! =) read more

well i had 2 firsts today, po' boy sandwich and catfish. both were way better then i expected. i cant wait to try the rest of the menu from this truck. only 4 stars because $10 seemed steep for the size but the food was really good. finally something on Mondays i can look forward too. the truck is right off of delridge right next my work . WIN!! read more

I like Where Ya At Matt a lot. I recommend the po' boy sandwich and the cornbread. The jambalaya was good but I felt like the portion didn't justify the price. I like it enough to go here every couple weeks when I am in Bellevue. read more

What I love the most is actually their beignets! They came out fresh hot and covered with powdered sugar. Delish!!

super good! i ordered a chicken po'boy, and my fiancee ordered the shrimp one, and we split it in half so we could each try each others, and let me say that both were absolutely incredible! everything was just right about them: the bread, the chicken was slow cooked just right, the shrimp were deep fried to perfection without being too tough, the flavours just hit your tongue so well; overall, both were absolutely delicious! they also have beignets which were super tasty also, and served as a great little treat after having the sandwiches. i'll be sure to look out for them wherever they go! read more

Where Ya At Matt - outside of Geaux Brewery. - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I was SO excited to finally get an opportunity to try Matt's. I ordered a fried chicken po' boy which looked absolutely scrumptious. My heart hit the floor when I got back to my office and opened up my glorious smelling lunch. Sticking out of a piece of chicken was a gnarly course black hair that had been cooked into the meat and breading. It was sticking right out of the sandwich and hard to miss. I don't know how the girl wrapping it up didn't see it. I was devastated and due to my high paced work environment couldn't leave to take it back or even get lunch at all. I have been starved all day and lost out on $10.50 plus a tip. I don't even know what to say but can't recommend something I haven't tried. I do recommend checking your food for unwanted gifts though. Previous reviews have mentioned health code violations, I guess all the 4 & 5 stars made this place seem credible. I suggest to Matt's to begin wearing hair nets/caps as a health measure, you just never know what drops into and gets cooked with people's food. read more

Smothered chicken sandwich with some gumbo is my favorite lunch eveah!

I've been searching for good Cajun/Creole since the late lamented La Louisiana closed its doors, may it rest in peace. Shrimp po boy: Perfect. Shrimp fried to that magic zone of golden and slightly crispy without being overdone, underdone, or the slightest bit greasy. Lettuce well-dressed and almost too abundant. And the bread was the ideal blank canvas, neither too chewy, too hard, too soft, or too... present to distract from the fact that you're eating a SHRIMP sandwich, not a SANDWICH with some shrimp. Jambalaya: Rich and complex, densely packed with chicken, andouille, and a little bit of crawfish. A nice kick, too, but it came out a little moister than I like. I could go for slightly less tomato or a little more rice in the balance, but that's mostly a personal preference. Cornbread: A medium sized corn muffin, managing to be both crumbly and moist. Buttery flavor, and definite cornmeal texture, slightly sweet without being overwhelming. A nice balance on the midpoint between savory coarse cornbread and sugary corn flour cake. read more

I don't know how authentic it is, but it was sure tasty. We will be eating there again definitely. Very flavorful. We ordered a shrimp poboy, and jambalaya. Also had the beignets. read more

Want a real sando on fresh bread filled with any number of amazing fixings go find this truck. My go to is the shrimp (fried) po boy. Call me a traditionalist but this place hits it. Fresh not to crusty roll loaded with fried shrimp and the key is your topping are essentially a tossed salad they load into your sando. On the shrimp it like ceasar salad with spicy peppers. Set it off w a little hot sauce, po boys are from Louisiana after all, and you're set. Just wish this truck was in SLU on Mondays or Fridays so I could see it more often on those "mental health days". Would give me a chance to try something else. Last weekend had a hard time passing up the soft shell crab offering. Anyone else thinking spider roll made into a po boy? I may not get the though out of my mind unit i check that one off. read more

I was pleasantly surprised. I liked the corn bread,The red beans and rice was really good for being vegan. The shrimp po boy was seasoned well. The pecan pie was also good. I would definitely partake again. read more

Probably my favorite food truck experience I have had so far. It's extra good since creole-inspired foods are not too common in the Pacific Northwest. Therefore, when craving a cup of jambalaya and po' boy, this is the place to go. I got a pork po' boy, jambalya, and the beignets. They were all very tasty, I was surprisingly amazed by how good the beignets were. They were soft, had the perfect texture. It may be my new favorite dessert/snack that I can get locally. Would be perfect with a cup of coffee. I would like to try one of the seafood po' boys next time. I did think the price was a bit steep. That's the only downside, however, the beignet was worth every penny and the 1, 2 extra minute wait for its freshness. read more

Well worth the drive to chuck's hop shop on 85th for Friday nite for gumbo & red rice & beans .... So so good ... Better than what I had in New Orleans (prob b/c the locals in NOLA makes that at home themselves) they put just the perfect kick ...perfect portion for average people ... Big eaters ... Get 2orders ... Gonna come bk Nxt for the beignets !! read more

Amazing Po-Boys - surprisingly light for all of the flavor. The beignets though - wow - so hot and fresh!

Seriously delicious! I've never had Creole food, living out in Seattle my whole life, and it was fantastic. Matt is so friendly and they even take cards. Matt prefers cash, but doesn't turn anyone away. read more

Love it! I'm a Southern girl and I miss my soul food, but Matt cures my homesickness with po-boys and gumbo. I always get the oysters, and the hot beignets are yummy too! read more

This food is sooooo good. I had their jambalaya, it was amazing! I work in a corporate building with very little lunch spots within walking distance, so when Where Ya At Matt came to our location I couldn't pass it up, so glad I didn't. I hope they come back! read more

My Seattle-based relatives had raved about this food truck for months. When I finally had a chance to try it, I was not disappointed. The food was very tasty and the portions were sizable.Even the smaller options often are more than enough for one person. The sausage gumbo had a bit of a kick. The beignets were soft, fluffy and coated in powdered sugar. The next time I visit Seattle, I certainly would return to Where Ya At Matt. read more

Muffaletta has dry bread, and barely any olive or meat. Jambalaya tasted like it came from a box, I think their secret ingredient is Zatarain's. read more

I've been trying to checkout Matt's for years but with them being a Mainly Lunch Truck and me working nights it's never really worked out until last Friday when they were setup at Chucks Hop Shop in Greenwood from 5-9pm!! Let me tell you the wait was worth it!! I had a small Jambalaya that I loved and a Big Bold Creole Pork Po Boy, the sandwich was full of amazing shredded pork and coleslaw, it was huge!!! I will be going to Matt's to try all of the Po Boys!!! read more

Had their Jambalaya and a Bold Creole Pork Po-Boy. The Jambalaya was quite possibly the best Jambalaya I have ever had. The Po-Boy was good, not amazing. Typically Po-Boys are seafood based, but since I don't like seafood I tried this. It had nice heat, and I was please try surprised by the thin slices of granny-smith apples on it. The apples really helped balance the fat and the heat on the sandwhich. They were sold out of cheesy grits and beignets, so unfortunately I was unable to try those. read more

I had the Shrimp Po Boy and a bite of a Beignet, they were both amazing. The bread the Po-Boy was great and there was a lot of shrimp in the sandwich itself. The person I was with got the Peacemaker and she was not too crazy about its slightly sweet flavor, but I thought it was good. read more

Friendly and fun service (the music from the truck alone lets you know this isn't an ordinary food truck) but the food was disappointing and underwhelming. Being from the Gulf South and New Orleans, I've had more po'boys at more joints than I can shake a catfish at. Some friends and I visited the truck in South Lake Union. One friend was very pleased with her pork po'boy, and another was underwhelmed with his muffaletta, particularly its size. I had the oyster po'boy and an order of beignets (3 per order). The fried oysters were a real treat. This might be a good time to mention that I consider fried food to be one of the culinary delights of the world, so again, this was great! However, the bread was borderline rock hard at one end, and the po'boy was filled with too much lettuce and too many tomatoes and not enough oysters. Were the price lower, I'd be much more willing to let these things slide, but as it is, if I'm paying a premium for a po'boy, I want to really taste those oysters in every bite. The beignets were fairly good, and most importantly, they do not skimp on the powdered sugar, which provides a deliciously messy experience ... especially if you laugh with a beignet precariously close to your mouth! I want to like this place so very badly, and in all fairness, I do plan to return in case it was just bad day ... or in case maybe I just don't like this particular oyster po'boy! read more

I am from New Orleans and I can say two of the things I miss most are muffalettas and poboys. On both Matt delivers. A client brought me a muffaletta a few months ago. It wasn't even hot since she had been for lunch much earlier -it was still fantastic. The bread (a mini version of the amazing New Orleans Italian bread) was spot on, as was the olive salad -to me the two things that truly make a muff. It rivaled the ones at Progresso Grocery and The Napoleon House. My next venture to Matts was before the dissapointing Saints playoff game-but Matt, even though there was no Peacemaker on the menu that day, the Oyster Poboy was honestly one of the best I have EVER eaten and I've had many an oyster Poboy. From the bread to the perfectly fried oysters to that amazing mayo concoction it was fantastic. I only wish you were in Interbay Wed or Thursday instead of Friday but I will definitely try to make it out on Saturdays when possible-hey how bout Sundays somewhere around Ballard farmers read more

I don't know if it was just a bad day for the pork but it was dry and super salty. The apple slaw was tasty but was overwhelmed by the saltiness of the pork. If the pork was good the sandwich would have been great so I'll probably give them another shot based on the other reviews. read more

Hoping for yummy Cajun fare and this place did not disappoint! Beignets and gumbo were especially tasty--worth the trip.

Was really bummed to have missed Matt at the Mobile Food Rodeo due to a really long line, but luckily today I was in the right place on the right day and stopped by for lunch. So glad that I did!! Had the Jambalaya as well as the Shrimp & Grits. Both were absolutely delightful! Although it was a bit on the spendy side it was definitely worth it. I will definitely be back to sample some more of the menu....um, hello, beignets!!! read more

The smoked portobello mushroom po'boy ALONE is five-star worthy. I was getting jambalaya and beignets and just grabbed a sandwich to try- man, I am so glad I did. It rocked my sandwich world like never before. I dreamed about that damned sandwich last night. Jambalaya hit the spot for my friend and we all loved our beignets and the resultant powdered sugar all over us. I would follow this truck anywhere. Yes, anywhere. Great food and a bonus of super awesome charm for good measure. read more

I work near the PI building, so I stop by on the occasional Friday. First I tried the Po Boy sandwich. I had shrimp. It was cold and honestly tasteless - too much bread and cold fried shrimp did not impress. Especially since the sandwich was 9$! BUT months later I tried Matt again, being simply tired of all the other food offerings around. The shrimp and grits were AWESOME. However, my coworker got a small (5$), which is supposed to be half full, and I got a large (8$), which is supposed to be all the way full. She paid less and got basically the same amount. I wish the large were larger. To sum up, the food is good (depending on what you order, or maybe i just dont like po boy sandwiches) but I really think the prices are high for what you get. I would eat there much more often if everything was 2$ less. read more

One delicious treat! A friend introduced me to this place months ago and I absolutely HAD to come back. This time around I brought a coworker who is from Louisiana; she was very skeptical but very impressed. I ordered the Creole Pork Po' Boy sandwich. It's slow roasted pork with Cajun seasoning, homemade slaw and thinly sliced Granny Smith apples provide enough sweetness and tartness to keep the heat at bay. For dessert I had beignets which were a delight and could be a meal on their own; I suggest having just one. My coworker ordered the gumbo and she said it was spot on and gave her a taste of being back home. read more
