We have been going to the Tat's Truck for yummy sandwiches for many years now - it's kind of embarrassing that I'd never thought to write about them until now. Tonight, they were at Hell Bent in Lake City. We love that this is a regular spot for them these days because it is the easiest location for us to get to on their schedule. My go-to is either the Chicken Philly or the Turkey Tatstrami since I don't eat red meat. Tonight it was the Turkey Tatstrami. My husband and son always go and pick up the sandwiches. The folks working the truck are so kind and *always* remember them. There's something to be said about being a regular and having a friendly rapport with these cool people. They are often super busy but recognize my family every time. :) There were a lot of people waiting for their food when we got there, but the line to order was short. Everyone was patient - they knew dinner was going to be good! These sandwiches are not for everyone. If you don't like ones that get really messy and require several napkins, this isn't for you. Well, at least the sandwiches that I always order, anyway. What I love: - the super friendly staff, always upbeat and welcoming - the crazy delicious sandwiches, wrapped in white paper (I just love when sandwiches are wrapped in white paper) - their steak sauce. You have to ask for it if you're not getting a cheesesteak sandwich. I always get some. It's tangy and zippy and goes great with their food What could be better: - it's not their fault but parking is sometimes challenging in that area. Hell Bent is popular so it is tough to find a spot in that lot If you love Philly Cheesesteak types of sandwiches, and don't mind getting your hands a little messy, Tat's is a solid choice. read more

Tat's Truck - Turkey Tatstrami - my favorite Tat's sandwich. I had them add grilled onions and peppers, too. - Food Trucks Near Me

Divine. I had the pleasure of catching Tat's Truck in a nearby neighborhood, and my husband and I sampled their two most popular sandwiches: the Tatstrami and the Philly cheesesteak. There is an old ad campaign for an infamous fast food chain that featured celebrities biting into their burgers and having the sauce drip onto them. Tat's sandwiches make you feel like you're actually in one of those commercials, loving every moment as the sauce drizzles down your chin. The bread on both sandwiches is perfect. Toothsome with a cornmeal dusting but moist and gentle against the sandwich fillings. The pastrami is fragrant and tender, and its amped up by its accompaniment of crisp cabbage slaw. The cheesesteak is so juicy, and the cheese is complementary to the steak but doesn't steal the show. As you can see, Tat's sandwiches are incredibly generous with the meat, as well! Pro tip: if you happen to have a bag of French onion Sun chips lying around, eat them with the pastrami. It's symphonic. It's worth mentioning that their staff is super friendly and helpful, too! I cannot wait to find Tat's again in the wild! read more

I love me a good food truck and Tat's is a great way to get in a yummy, flavorful sandwich. Ordered the Tastrami and Philly Cheesesteak when they parked themselves in front of Ounces in West Seattle on a weekend. The Tatstrami didn't feel too heavy, and I really liked the texture of the crunchy cabbage slaw. I can understand why people order the Tatsrami on the regular since it feels like a different kind of pastrami sandwich. The Philly Cheesesteak was great too, but needed an extra kick of heat and flavor. Overall, I give Tat's a solid 4 stars, and I'd definitely come back. read more

Insanely delicious and flavorful. Quick service and it was one of my top pastrami sandwiches I've had !

The perfect game day food! A must stop, whenever I spot the tats truck at Ounces in West Seattle ( check schedule for locations and times). They are super friendly and have quick service. Tatstami is extremely flavorful, where the coleslaw goes well with the thin sliced pastrami. Philly Cheesesteak is also a great choice with sweet pepper. Ask for the steak sauce. read more

They have the best Philly cheesesteak sandwich in Seattle! Thank You Tat's. We have been eating them for years.

Got a chance to eat at Tat's truck in West Seattle near best of hands brewery on Saturday. Ordered their Italian Pork Roast and philly cheesesteak sandwiches. The philly cheesesteak was phenomenal while their italian pork roast was okay. The hot sauce was also good and it did add additional flavors to the sandwiches. Service was quick, food was good prices were reasonable, portions were huge. All in all value for money. read more

Tat's Truck is in downtown Bellevue on Tuesdays, which makes the FOMO of kickass Seattle food less prominent. I visited at noon, which warranted an impressive line that seemed long, but moved along at a good pace. From entering the line, to receiving my food, the wait time was just under 15 minutes. The employees were very friendly, and once you order, the wait for your food is very short. In fact, there were only about five people in the second line for food. Now let's talk about food... I ordered the Philly cheesesteak, which was all sorts of amazing. I'm not a peppers fan, so I omitted that from my order but kept the yummy onions. The portion size is large, meat generous, and overall was a fantastic sandwich. $11.50 for a full and happy belly is well worth the price. Next time I'll have to try their pastrami sandwich. read more

A simple food truck with simply delicious cheesesteaks. The pastrami is also very good if you like a smoked flavor.

Authentic east coast, from the bread to the meat to the lettuce. Legit. Fast and friendly, highly recommended. read more

Tat's Truck - Classic Italian with a nice Cloudburst Pilsner - Food Trucks Near Me

Hey YO, for all you knuckle heads that think Philly is the epicenter for all things cheesesteak, well think again! I've been to Geno's , Pat's & Tony Luke's in Philly so Frank knows his cheesesteaks. Now I decided to give these guys a chance so I strolled up to THE FOOD TRUCK for a taste today. At lunch time on the streets of Seattle you can stand 30 people deep in line but it goes fast and most of those folks are taking about themselves I tune them out just thinking about that giant delicious cheese steak about to hit my lip's. Same rules apply here like in Philly and that's know what you want prior or face the wrath.... Let's face it you have time to review the menu while standing in line. Avoiding the stupid questions helps the order taking and a person like and avoids you getting stink eye from the other cheesesteak worshipers waiting to order. Especially me who wants to brain you for being dumb. FRANKS usual standard order is the Philly Steak with extra provolone cheese & sautéed onions ( if you screw this up you should close your shop )  Now I have very high expectations and TAT's TRUCK didn't fail me. My cheese steak was superb. Moist & bursting with flavor and steaming hot so make sure you let it cool down before the roof of your mouth becomes part of your meal. Let's face it when you combine the freshest & finest quality of bread, steak , sautéed onions with cheese then you get the master piece served here. Bring that statue of Rocky Balboa in Philly and place it outside your truck in front of the new church of cheesesteaks! Let the Cheesesteak do the talking!!! read more

Tat's Truck - Cheese Steak sandwich - Food Trucks Near Me

I am fanatical about my sandwiches. I saw the Tat's truck would be in my area. I got there right when they opened to be first. I ordered the classic Italian. Got my order and took it home. Opening the sandwich I was introduced to the best sandwich I ever had. The meat takes a back seat on this drive. The sweet and hot peppers are the real star. It was phenomenal, but don't think for a second I won't be trying to order my next one with extra meat. Meat is what a sandwich is about. I love this sandwich. read more

Seriously, I think the Philly Cheesesteak from Tat's is the best sandwich I've ever eaten. Every aspect of it is phenomenal. The bread is soft and fluffy, the steak is perfectly cooked, the onions and peppers are cooked perfectly, and the cheese is soo good. If you haven't tried this, you need to. I thought the old Paseo made the best sandwich in Seattle before, but now that crown most definitely belongs to Tat's. read more

Tat's Truck - Philly Cheasesteak - Food Trucks Near Me

Tat's Truck is the food truck offshoot of the popular Pioneer Square deli of the same name. The truck has regular workday lunch stops in Bellevue, Downtown Seattle, SoDo and South Lake Union during the week. I have had food from this truck a couple times as I frequent their South Lake Union (9th and Harrison) location on Mondays. I haven't visited Tat's (deli or truck) before, but I was very aware of their reputation. They are known for their Philly cheesesteaks and pastrami sandwiches which are both available at the truck, which also offers hoagie sandwiches as well. Perhaps it was my luck, but I haven't encountered much of a line when I got a sandwich here. I have been able to quickly get my food here to take back to my office to eat. Thus far I have tried their Philly cheesesteak and tat'strami which are both priced at $10.50 which includes tax. I enjoyed both sandwiches very much. The Philly cheesesteak for nostalgic reasons as it reminds me of my time going to college in Pennsylvania. The version here tastes like the ones I had then. As for the tat'strami, the meat is tender and easy to bite into with a nice Russian dressing on top. The only knock on these sandwiches are that they don't seem like they are made to order. They are warm, rather than hot. It seems like a batch are made the same time as I have gotten my sandwiches almost right away every time I have been here. Still I will gladly come here for my Tat's fix as opposed to waiting in a long line as you can expect if you go to the Pioneer Square storefront location. read more

If you see this truck - stop everything and try it now. If you see a line, don't worry, they are fast. We ordered the Philly cheesesteak and the pastrami sandwich with a side of the hot peppers. The sandwiches were huge and so flavorful. I may have been doing a happy dance while I ate my sandwich. The bread was soft but crunchy, the meat was warm and the sauces are great. We were lucky to try them at Stoup Ballard this weekend. Go eat these amazing sandwiches now. Just like the east coast. They have tastycakes for you Philly kids. read more

Tat's Truck rules. The sandwiches are awesome and the dude who takes your order is an angel.

Ordered an Italian hoagie which is always sold out then was told the person before me got the last one. I settled for a cold turkey hoagie. They did compensate me with a free soda and chips which I appreciate, but not only was the sandwich bland and tasteless- it had a hair in it. I give it 2 stars because their chicken cheese steaks are decent. They always sell out of their Italian before noon so I don't get why they don't bring a few more. read more

Tat's Truck - Hair in the pretty bland turkey hoagie. - Food Trucks Near Me

I finally tried Tat's, and it was awweeeesome! My friend and I spotted the truck after we went to the Sounders game, as it was conveniently located outside CenturyLink (perfect for drunk fans, in need of food). I ordered the Philly Cheesesteak as was recommended by the cashier, and my friend had the Pastrami, the other sandwich recommended by the cashier. He did not disappoint us, as both of our sandwiches were yummy! It's on a baguette which is a footlong. The Phily Cheesesteak had tons of meat, caramelized onions and peppers and cheeeeeese. It's easy to split, too, since it's a heavy sandwich. I also tried my friend's Pastrami, which was very good. It had slices of yummy pastrami, mustard and cole slaw. Although hers was awesome, I dug mine more! read more

Tat's Truck - Chicken Philly - Food Trucks Near Me

A very good steak and chee, albeit a bit messy and difficult to eat. Good flavor, good price, fast moving line (even if it seems daunting). I can see why many people line up for the food. Side of macaroni salad was just okay. read more

Tat's Truck - Steak and cheese with a side of macaroni salad - Food Trucks Near Me

Definitely a 5-star food truck, and for me that means you get at least what you expect. The sandwiches will fill you up, and the flavors are home grown, and while my wife didn't like the flavor of the potato salad, I did like it. The pastrami being smoked was a delightful surprise and super yummy. The aforementioned potato salad was more in the style of a loaded baked potato salad than the creamy mayo version. The macaroni salad was on the drier side of the scale and was an interesting variation, turmeric or a curry in the sauce perhaps, I enjoyed it very much. The Cheesesteaks made me think I was back in Philly, I recommend adding grilled mushrooms... I see why they ran out of food yesterday. My only negative was the price/portion of the sides, $2 for tiny portions was unfortunate, but certainly not worth lowering 5-star to a 4-star review. Lastly, I cannot tell you how much i appreciate the effort during the pandemic. They had distancing markers spaced out for the ordering line as well as waiting to pick up, they were all wearing masks, even the cooks on the grill, and they were all so friendly. Definitely a 25% tip!! read more

So, I am not a cheesesteak connoisseur, but I know what I like, and Tat's fits the bill! Every thursday when their truck comes around I get their cheesesteak with mush (mushrooms) on a bed of lettuce, and it is off the charts yummy! Now, you may be asking yourself "What is a bed of lettuce?" Well, for those of us watching our carb intake, you can get the yummy cheesesteak insides in a bowl with a bed of lettuce so you don't need the bread. And let me tell you, it doesn't take away from the experience at all! In fact, some of my coworkers tried it, and now that is what they get! Overall, I highly recommend this place. Give it a try! read more

Very messy sandwich. I had the turkey tatstrami and my boyfriend had a cheesesteak. both were super messy and leaky. the sandwiches are also huge, btw. the taste of ny sandwich actually wasn't that bad, but the slaw just made everything so leaky and messy. my bf and i are currently trying to find the best cheesesteaks in the greater seattle area, and we're sad to say that this is not it. read more

Staff was friendly and quick to take your order. The line may be long, but it moves pretty fast. I received my food within 5-7 minutes of ordering. Their philly cheese steak ($10.50) was flavorful and meaty. I added grilled mushrooms for an additional $1. The bread was soft and squishy. Thinly sliced beef was tender, and there was no fat or gristle. The sandwich is pretty sizable, so i didnt get to finish it all. On my next visit, i'd like to try the chicken philly sandwich and their signature tatstrami. Overall, highly recommended. read more

Tat's Truck - Philly cheese steak $11.50 (grilled mushrooms $1) - Food Trucks Near Me

The Tat's food truck sets camp at SLU on Mondays, so naturally if it's Monday and I'm itching for some cheesesteak action, I usually find myself in line for their delectable steaks of cheese and protein. As an absolute cheesesteak connoisseur (highly debatable and most likely exaggerated), I know the ins and outs of cheesesteaks, and I know a good one as soon as I set eyes on it. How do the cheesesteaks at Tat's stack up? They're pretty darn good. Their original Philly Cheesesteak is most divine, especially with a side of whiz that will not only make make your cheesesteak more flavorful, but also 500 times more messy. Their Chicken Philly is also pretty decent, so if you're trying to eat a little bit healthier you can't go wrong replacing the standard beef with chicken. Their Tatstrami which has Russian slaw in it is a bit on a sweet side, but if you're into that kind of food combination, you'll surely be a fan. Lines can be a bit long sometimes, but they do a great job of churning through their orders and delivering quality cheesesteaks. read more

Tat's Truck - classic italian oii - Food Trucks Near Me

I had the pastrami sandwich and it was a solid sandwich. The service was quick and friendly. The price was a bit high for what it was imo. There was a lot of slaw relative to the pastrami. But overall a good sandwich and a good experience. read more

WOW. For once a food place that was actually WORTH THE HYPE!! I got their Philly cheesesteak and not only was it AWESOME but it was awesome THE NEXT DAY AS WELL cuz I couldn't eat it all in one sitting. Took my daughter, her friend and my mom to the haunted forest and got the sub after our walk thru (which was a super cool scary forest btw...check it out next Halloween!). It was perfectly seasoned, moist and flavorful, large amount and the gentleman at the counter was nice and professional. What a nice concept! A restaurant/food truck that actually appreciates THEIR CUSTOMERS!! Like I said I could not finish my sub so put in fridge for next day and I kid you not...it actually tasted BETTER. Like it just needed a few more hours to "marry" all the flavors and seasoning. Normally I'm not a fan of left over subs...but this was an exception. I know they move their truck around to different locations so give them a google to see if it will be showing up in a neighborhood near you. Even if it were something of a road trip...it would still be worth it! read more

Brilliant food truck! The Tat-strami is lifechanging (for the better). It's like a philly cheese steak but with pastrami instead of streak. It's awesome and it's pretty large (cost around $11 with tax). They come to 4th and Union every Thursday and have a webcam so you can see how long the line is. Highly recommended read more

WOW! Are you kidding me? This truck rocks and I think there should be some flashpots next to it that go off when you get your sandwiches just like at a concert! All this and in the most obscure location on West Marginal Way under the broken bridge. Got the Tatstrami and a cheesesteak today and took it over to the T-105 park about two blocks away. Walked in to the park area on the Duwamish and had a helluva feast! Sandwiches were 5 star and the service was friendly and fast. They do have a couple of tables set up in the gravel parking lot by the truck for those who want to eat there. This location is apparently open Friday-Sunday and they are at other locations other days. For the record...the sandwiches are fresh and served hot and they put them in a paper bag for you with napkins but they are so full of flavor and fresh off the grill so be prepared for the bag to break from the juices if you wait too long to eat them. Also, get a side of Whiz...it ain't gonna kill you and it is delicious too! read more

Tat's Delicatessen is often listed as a "must-try" spot in Seattle for east coast sandwiches, so when I saw their food truck stationed in Bellevue I had to try their famous Philly Cheesesteak. I grew up eating cheesesteaks on the east coast along the New Jersey-Philadelphia border. My dad hounds me for cheesesteak when he visits so I've been looking for good places to take him. Tat's Truck's standard cheesesteak is a blend of cheese, peppers, onions, and thinly sliced rib-eye. You can ask them for cheez whiz or extra toppings like mushrooms and banana peppers instead. I went with the standard. My order was ready before I finished paying for my food, making Tat's the most efficient food truck experience I've had thus far. A few moments after I arrived a big line started to form, so maybe I lucked out! My order smelled so good on the drive back to my office -- gotta love those peppers and onions! As for the sandwich itself...it was still nice and fresh by the time I made it to the office lunchroom. Once unwrapped, the first thing I noticed was how much meat was piled onto the bread! And yeah, the bread was warm and soft and still held together even though it was piled high. Each bite was everything I remember about growing up on Philly Cheesesteaks. My only critique is the sandwich could have used a little something extra, flavor-wise... so I added ketchup to the half I saved for dinner and then the sandwich really hit the spot. Tat's Deli: Just add ketchup. Two thumbs up! read more

Tat's Truck - Cheesesteak full-to-burst! - Food Trucks Near Me

I am not a fan of pastrami or any kind of cured meat but their turkey tat'strami is amazing, partially due to the scrumptious sauce. I ate all the Russian and sweet slaw comforting myself it was vegetables. But who was I kidding, that thing was drenched in heavenly mayonnaise and sour cream. Although the portion is huge, I could have totally eaten the entire sandwich, but I exercised some much needed self control. The sad thing is you can't really save the other half. They do run out of stuff like cheesesteaks so make sure you go there early like before 11:30am. And oh, don't expect to get any work done after lunch. You just can't. Food coma is free with any Tat's purchase. read more

Tats food truck never showed up today in West Seattle. That's twice now in one month! They posted today that an assistant manager couldn't make it to work, really? They could easily get someone to work by paying him her a little overtime, much better than being unreliable and pissing off the customers! read more

The Philly Cheesesteaks and the Tatstrami are definitely to die for... literally. You will enjoy every single bite as your arteries clog and you feel yourself slowly fading from existence. Just know, it was worth it. I preferred the Philly more than the Tatstrami, but that's just a personal opinion as both were very good. Ask for the steak sauce! read more

As a restaurant owner ( Credo) in Seattle. I had a chance to pass by 35 ave in West Seattle and noticed Tat's truck parked . I decided to give it a try and I ordered steak and cheese and the pastrami sandwich. Been from the East coat and had the best teak and cheese from Philadelphia I can attest that the quality is great! read more

The best sandwich shop in Seattle is now mobile. They usually camp out in South Lake Union during the week for lunch, but they occasionally make it to West Seattle on the weekend on 35th. Smaller offering than the main locations, but you can dtill get their great Italian hoagies and cheese steaks made in a true Philly style. Being from Pholly originally, Tats measures up to some of the better places back east. Definitely hunt down the truck if some reason you can make it to Pioneer Square. read more

Tat's Truck - Not as many options as their main location but hey, it's a food truck! - Food Trucks Near Me

For living in Philadelphia for 7+ years, this is one of the best Cheesesteaks I have had outside of the city of brotherly love. Only complaint is the bread just isn't as good as what you get in Philly. (oh and its very odd to see a Seahawks Jersey on someone serving you a Philly Cheesesteak... that would never fly in Philly!) I got it just like I order in Philly, takes a bit longer for them to serve up, but it's worth the wait. Can't wait for the next time this Truck is near my office so I can taste another almost authentic Philly Steak. Order: Steak, Wiz, Wit-out (grilled onions, not always - sometimes Wit), + cheesesteak hoagie (add lettuce & tomato, hold the mayo) a bit of salt and pepper on top, and its good to go! Enjoy, it won't disappoint! read more

Yes!! We used to order Tat's and get it delivered when we couldn't get down there during lunch- but now that the Tat'strami Tat'smobile pulls up.. the line was long but moved really fast- No joke. The sandwich was as good as ever, but maybe better because it came to me!! It's about time Tat's Deli. Great job on the mobile meat machine!! read more

Nailed it! After a long day of walking around Seattle, we craved a taste of home. Apparently the owner is from Philly, and he brought the homegrown talent with him. The cheesesteak was amazing, and the turkey and Italian hoagies did not disappoint either. A tiny bit on the expensive side for a lunch truck, but I didn't deduct because everything was so delicious. It seems there will be a line everyday af lunch time- a testament to how good this is. read more

I've been dying to go to Tat's Delicatessen for ages but it's location makes it really difficult. When I found out there was a truck and it was just right down the street from my office, I bolted out of my chair like Usain (the pale, blonde, more-to-love version, anyway). Just like with the deli, you're bound to encounter a long line here. Luckily, it doesn't take too long to get through and you'll be rewarded with a giant, delicious sandwich in return. The tat'strami gets all the credit here, but I'm a big fan of the classic Italian. Keep in mind these ain't no Subway sandwiches. You'll need to open up your mouth, your belly, and your wallet to get a piece of these bad boys, but it's worth it.
