Where Ya At Matt - Red beans and rice - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I was looking forward to this food truck as I have heard amazing reviews about how delicious the food is and especially in PNW, great Southern food is hard to come by. I also heard that the service here is great. My boyfriend and I caught them at No Boat Brewing and decided to bring our fur babies for a nice dinner. We arrived at the truck and sadly, the male worker seemed out of it and just in a apathetic mood, so it was uncomfortable trying to order. They didn't say much or anything about when to get the food. When I did pick up our food, I politely asked if the order was ready and not only do I not get a response or a nod, he just turns around and grabs my order before just giving it to me. No enjoy the food or thank you for ordering, and not even a ghost of a smile. We got a small shrimp and grits, oyster po boy, and large jambalaya. The oyster po boy was the star of the order as it was delicious and one of the better po boys my boyfriend and I had, but it was also our first time trying an oyster po boy. The shrimp and grits were nothing to really write about and the jambalaya was just meh. Not sure if we came at a bad day but it's super unfortunate as I was really looking forward to this food truck for the longest time but it was the most disappointing Washington food truck that I have had visited. read more

I saw their truck in Redmond at a private event when I was getting off work, they would not take my money or my tip and the best experience was the food . I got the andouille with the side of beans and rice. It was so delicious! Now I have to find them again. read more

I have been wanting to find good soul food and WYAM happened to be at PostDoc Brewing! There was a huge line, but it moved quickly because the food came out within 5 minutes of ordering. There were at least 3 guys working in the truck and they seem to work like clockwork! Food came out hot and did not disappoint... We ordered a shrimp po boy, slaw, cheesy grits & KING CAKE! Everything was seasoned and cooked perfectly. The po boy was perfect to share, amongst all the other food we ordered. Can't remember the last time where I've had slaw done right, but WYAM coleslaw was perfect. The grits were so cheesy and the seasoning was on point. Then we had our first King Cake... every bite was gooey and rich. We even went back for a second slice... they said if you find the baby, you'll get free beignets next time! We got home, dug into the next slice and found the baby! Prior to finding the baby, we had already looked up their truck schedule to do it all again. I can't claim to know what authentic soul food should taste like, but trying WYAM makes us want to travel to New Orleans and experience more - when food can make you want to transport yourself to a new experience, I think they're doing something right! read more

Oh no, despite so much love, I did not love most of my food from WYAM! Of course the hype has me doubting myself. It is possible that I just ordered wrong. I ordered the pork po' boy, and though I was told it was shredded pork when I asked, it was in fact chewy slices of pork inside. The slaw was nice, but the pork itself was not pleasant to me. The collared greens--a special--were too sweet, and the shrimp and grits were greasy. The rice and beans tasted okay, so I filled up on those. I did however love the hot and fluffy beignets. Excellent, and not something you find everywhere! I also want to note that WYAM is run well! The line at the truck moved briskly, and that the gentleman taking the orders was both kind and efficient. WYAM also updates and communicates their locations via social media clearly, and that's helpful for a food truck! Don't be discouraged by a line, and give it a try--you might like it better than me. read more

Being a big fan of Southern food, I was really excited to try out the dishes at this restaurant. I had three experiences of eating food at their Pike Place location. A slightly tricky place to find. In the former location of my beloved Sheas restaurant. A busy spot as you walk in. I also live in Shoreline and closely watch the Where ya at Matt? Food truck at the Ridgecrest Public House. Been to the food truck six times. We sat at the Pike Place location down and started ordering some southern lunch sandwiches. I like oysters, our first order was the Oyster Po Boy. Loved the cornmeal breading. Oyster were not overcooked, as often the case. Soft and juicy. Great sandwich. Next, forced myself to order the Smoked Portabella Po Boy. Just lean more towards traditional protein. This was actually great. Came with a variety of flavors. Including Smoked portobello mushrooms. Also, Lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise and pickles. The Smokey mushrooms added a great deal of flavor to this sandwich. Surprised how much I enjoyed this sandwich. Shrimp Po Boy. The same basics as the oyster sandwich, but with shrimp. Enjoyed this sandwich. But preferred the bolder taste of oysters over this sandwich. Still a great sandwich. Side orders: Cole Slaw. Wanted a dish to feel healthy, after all the fried food. A more vinegary take than I like, but still good. Cornbread with Honey Butter. Who cannot get cornbread in a place like this? I like my cornbread more dense. Still love the flavors. For the food truck, have ordered shrimp and grits, gumbo, sandwiches and sweet potato pie. Shrimp and grits had a nice seafood base with a kick of spices, Gumbo was full of variety of vegetables. Most of time that I am here, the police department and fire department are also here, waiting in line. Picky about my sweet potato pie. A tad too bland on the spices. Beignets. Best hot and fresh. These seemed to have sat awhile before coming with our order. Still soft and flavorful. read more

We just had an absolutely incredible dinner - 1 jabaylaya, 1 gumbo, 1 beans and rice, corn bread, coleslaw...It was Over the Top! All large size and we loved them. Thank you, Matt read more

$30 for a sandwich with bacon and cheese and 3 beignets. No thanks. It wasn't worth it, not in this economy. read more

I got the shrimp po'boy and it was worth the trek over to Westlake Park where the food truck is parked on Fridays. The other locations they frequent (as posted on their website) aren't convenient for me so I had been waiting to try their food for a while and I will definitely be revisiting! The shrimp was well-breaded and sizable, and there were a good amount in the sandwich. The sandwich is simple, fresh, and delicious. read more

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

I've actually been wanting to try this food truck for years. I saw they had a shrimp po' boy on their menu, and that is one I have cravings for constantly. I saw them when I happened to be driving by a tap house in Edmonds one day, and lit the brakes up. I looked at the reviews real quick and the menu , and saw they were having a few issues with quality, but stubbornly, I cast the reviews aside, and had to fill that void. I ordered the shrimp po' boy, and even though it was 45 minutes before their closing, they had basically turned everything down, and prepared to drive away. I get it. It's a long day, and food service isn't the most forgiving, trust me, I know. But there were 3 guys, one running the fryer and making the order, I'm assuming "Matt" taking the order, and your payment, and another guy chit-chatting with the other two so they didn't really interact with you. There wasn't a place to sit, it was a food truck, nothing fancy. But I didn't really care too much because I finally had a chance to eat a shrimp po' boy! Well, all I can say is, nope. This was a massive fail as far as I'm concerned. The reviews were right. No flavor, and the cornmeal was falling off the shrimp, like I don't even know what was wrong with it, but no. The only way I was able to finish it was because I was using my memory to add flavors to this that it was lacking. I'll be honest, I hate leaving negative reviews. This is somebody's livelihood. To some, it's their passion and purpose. All I can do is say, "Please do better." There's a constant theme with other reviews, please look at what is being said, try to remedy it. A shrimp po' boy is a beautiful thing when it's done correctly, and whatever mayonnaise you spread on it lightly really killed the entire sandwich. The sauce is supposed to be zippy, with a hint of spice. The tomatoes shouldn't be mushy like they had been frozen. Please do better. read more

I waited 5 years to finally get a chance to try food here, I'm Mississippi born and raised and I was CRAVING some good soul food I didn't have to make myself for once... the first time I get to try this place and I was so disappointed. Everyone told me when I moved here in 2021 this was the best place to get authentic Louisiana food. What I had did NOT taste authentic or even kind of good. The andouille gumbo was under seasoned and too watery, the cheesy grits were also not seasoned and weren't the right consistency. They were more like mashed potatoes. I preordered a king cake and it was okay but tasted like the same grocery store king cake you can get for $15. Overall this experience was extremely disappointing and I won't be returning. If any other southerners are looking for authentic southern comfort food look elsewhere because this isn't it. read more

Thanks to Field To Table for introducing us to another great local establishment, Where Ya At Matt is a great find. The name is really befitting as you have to check FB/IG to identify the location and operating hours. Once you've located the truck don't let the line discourage your wait as the service is efficient and wait time is minimal. Huge kudos for offering vegetarian options, especially the red beans and rice (it's nearly impossible to find vegetarian Cajun style anything and especially the red beans and rice dish.) My husband really enjoyed his shrimp poboy and shrimp/grits. The beignets are the REAL deal, a must order to enjoy with a great cup of coffee. We will definitely return, and highly recommend!! read more

If you're a fan of New Orleans style food, this is the place. If you aren't, maybe go elsewhere. I was in Pioneer square, saw the food trucks and decided on Matt's. Apparently I don't like New Orleans style food. The hot sauce selection was super wide and impressive, especially for a food truck, and the shrimp grits were okay, but the oyster Po Boy wasn't up my alley. Service was nice though, and I'd recommend going to Pioneer Square when he's parked there with the other trucks and buskers. Nice staff though, wish em the best. read more

Overall, I give Where Ya At Matt a total of 3.5 stars. Their moving food truck came to Ounces in West Seattle one of these past weekdays (about a month ago). Tip: Definitely check the Facebook schedule or website frequently to find out what date and location they'll be at. I tried a couple of times but missed them. When my friend and I did get a chance to eat, we ordered the Oyster poboy sandwich. Taste wise, it was pretty good for what it was. The sandwich cost about $16-$17 each, which was a bit pricey for the medium size. The oysters were small but fresh, with a light breading that made the fry delicate. As I reflect, the breading was a little chalky (not necessarily in a good or bad way). It made it a little dry but maybe that's what it was going for considering oysters can be messy to fry. The flavor of the sandwich was pretty subtle but I did really appreciate good that the oyster wasn't overtly seasoned where I couldn't recognize it for what it was. However, I'm not sure if I would specifically seek or crave the oyster poboy from Where Ya At Matt again, but I wouldn't mind trying some of their other offerings, specifically their shrimp poboys or shrimp & grits. read more

Another stellar meal from Where Ya At Matt! I tried the fried chicken po boy and really liked it! Enjoyed how the chicken was moist and the flavors complimented each other. Think I found a good combination with the shrimp and gritz with the jambalaya (have to give props to my Dad for that idea). Decided to try a slice of pecan pie (brown sugar was a nice addition) and the king cake was nice, not too sugary but light and airy. Great work Matt, I'll be coming back to try more of your delicious food! read more

Happy to be supporting a black owned business! I've heard a lot of good things about "Where Ya at Matt" via a FB group that supports minority owned businesses. I was happy that their food truck chose a location near us. The food overall is very good. The prices aren't bad; they aren't cheap but not bad either considering how much protein are in the sandwiches. Ingredient prices have gone up everywhere after all. Ordering was easy; we just ordered in person. There is an option to pre-order too. They had a 3 hours window, 11am to 2pm. We arrived at 1pm, and nothing was sold out yet. Woo hoo. We ordered extra to make this a "meal of the day". The Food: Shrimp Po Boy, $13 - 5 Stars Cornmeal Breaded. Fried. Lettuce. Tomato. Pickles. Mayo - Generously loaded with golden shrimp that are perfectly fried, this sandwich with some veggies made for hearty standalone meal. I separately added hot sauce to give it a kick. Smoked Portabella Po Boy, $12 - 5+ Stars Smoked portobello mushrooms. Lettuce. Tomato. Pickles. Mayo - Apparently, smoked means Cajun blackened, this sandwich was AMAZING! Delicious chunky bites of mushrooms that are perfectly juicy. It went really well with the tang of the pickles so each bite was juicy delicious. Oyster Po Boy, $14 - 5 Stars Cornmeal breaded and fried. Also has veggies. - Oyster Po Boys are hubby's favorite sandwich, and this one was excellent. It's basically the same as the shrimp in terms of preparation. The oysters were juicy and plump, the golden frying was light and not greasy at all. Beignets, $5 - 4.5 Stars We didn't get to eat it right away, so things "settle" a bit by the time we had our first bite. Doesn't matter though, it was still "holey" and pillowy. Sure, not as good as in NOLA, but come one, it's pretty dang close. Cole Slaw, $3 - 3.5 Stars We were faking being 'healthier' and ordered cole slaw. This version is more on the vinegar-y side, which we're not a fan of. No big deal. We'll skip this next time. Cornbread with Honey Butter, $3 - 2 Stars I was not expecting to see a little cupcake looking thing with a little butter thing on the side. LOL. I probably should have looked for photos. It was 'fine', like a C. It needed more height for a proper fluffy cornbread that raises in the middle with that golden brown at the bottom. That's not what this is. Doh. We'll skip this next time too. read more

Picked up at cat fish po'boy and some beignets at Where Ya At Matt and everything was SO good. The catfish was flavorful, crisp and served with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and just the right amount of mayo on a tasty roll. Nice size too. Definitely one of the best po'boys I've eaten, including my fav spots in New Orleans. The beignets were delicious too. Hubs picked up the jambalaya which was also good Service was quick, friendly and Covid safe. read more

Disappointed. I've had great po boys before. But today's shrimp po boy was nearly inedible. Shrimp was obviously either recycled from earlier, or the sandwich was premade and sitting around for a while as most of the breading on the shrimp was rubbed off and soggy, the shrimp was cold and the lettuce wilty and translucent like it'd all been sitting around a while. read more

It had been many years since I last had the fried chicken po boy here. The last time was when they were at the Occidental Square lunch time food truck offerings. It was delicious every time I had it. With a random craving I stalked the truck and made my way to it. I ordered a fried chicken po boy and small shrimp n grits, for $28 total. Unfortunately this was a complete miss. I had a feeling that going when the truck first opened might be a bad idea as I always worry about getting yesterday's leftovers. 'I'm not sure if that happened but this sandwich was not edible, and nothing like the sandwich I used to love. The chicken was not crispy, in fact, it was soggy, so soggy that I could not eat it. It's like it was fried and then kept in a lidded container where the condensation made it soggy. I took a couple of bites and threw this $15 sandwich away. I absolutely do but feel good about wasting my money. The shrimp and grits were as good as I remembered and I ate it all. read more

Where Ya At Matt - Shrimp po boy and king cake. Twelfth Night - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We came here after hearing that they were on the Eastside and was not disappointed at all. The ordering system is a little slow and definitely need some tweaks but do appreciate them trying to make it a safe experience. Shrimp po boy: this not a typical standard po boy. There was lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise in there which reminded me of a Jimmy John sandwich, but the bread they use made me think of a banh mi. The shrimp was cooked perfectly, it gave a nice texture, there was a lot in it and definitely protein to breading was perfect. Overall, not a standard po boy in my opinion but still yummy. Gumbo: the flavor was good, it was piping hot. There was a lot of variety of things in there including sausages, rice, etc. I kinda thought this was on the pricier side. Beignet: not the fluffiest but still delicious. Overall, it was a good experience trying this place and I can see why it's a popular food truck read more

YumYumYUM! I first found Where Ya At Matt through social media and boy I'm glad I did! We caught up with one of the locations their truck stops at (weekly postings with their whereabouts) I got the oyster po boy, beignets, and cornbread. I'm no po boy expert but I am an expert of raving about what my taste buds just experienced. DELIGHTFUL COMFORT HEAVEN. Crisp batter, juicy hot oysters on a bed of lettuce and mayo soft flaky bread. Pillows of sweet heaven (the beignets) The pinnacle of what cornbread should be like everywhere. And that soft butter to go along with it. I'm always so full after the meal. Like on a food high aka food coma but it hits different! I'm already reminiscing the taste... Always looking forward to when their food truck will be in our area again! read more

Quick service is a mixed blessing...great to get the food in a timely manner BUT when it's a fried food, that means my catfish was sitting around getting soggy. I was skeptical and rightly so when it took less than 5 minutes to decide on a beer and the wrapped sandwich was waiting to be picked up. The roll was terrrific! Sauce tasted like plain mayo rather than remoulade which should have pickles and hot sauce. $16 for a basically premade po'boy is careless prep and no pride in the food you serve. read more

I told myself that I was going to stop writing reviews while eating my only meal of the day to avoid sounding like an overly excited used car salesman, but that just doesn't fit in with my lifestyle. So- I'm from the south. A fellow southern transplant recommended this truck to me and told me that it has "Some of the best shrimp and grits I've had since leaving the South" and would be headed to my neighborhood soon. This is a lofty claim because Seattle hasn't yet discovered southern food, so I had to check it out for myself. When I first arrived at the food truck, it was 10 minutes past opening and the line was up the ENTIRE sidewalk- I didn't expect that at all! So naturally, I order half the menu because clearly they know something that I don't. Even though I literally ordered half the menu for my husband and I, the food only took about 5-7 minutes to arrive. Here is my verdict by dish- Shrimp and grits- literally better than any shrimp and grits I've had in GA. I thought that I didn't like shrimp and grits all that much, but now I realize that my parents just can't cook Pumpkin beignet- A little too sweet on the frosting but it was good! Plain beignet- So fluffy I'm gonna die Jambalaya- Everyone always argues over the best style and region for jambalaya- it's this. Period. My second bowl of Shrimp and Grits- somehow better than the first and I regret nothing Shrimp Po Boy- I didn't try this one, but my husband says they put their foot in it. Seattleites, this is a good thing. Overall, I'm tempted to stalk this truck around King County. It tastes better than home and I owe my dear friend my first-born child for putting it on my radar. read more

Where Ya At Matt is fantastic! The first bite of the fried shrimp poboy made me so nostalgic for my southern childhood.

Where Ya At Matt has been on my food truck radar since before food trucks were even cool. And in a city where there's pretty much a food truck on every corner, ironically I had yet to find Where Ya At Matt. Until now! I was cruising the mean streets of Greenwood around dinnertime and noticed a truck parked in front of Chuck's Hop Shop. Never one to shy away from an opportunity to enjoy a cold Chuck's brew, I found a place to park and then noticed that this wasn't just any food truck. It was WYAM! The legendary food truck was now in front of me. I perused the menu and its cajun awesomeness, and decided on an order of one of my favorite things: jambalaya. This bowl of ricey goodness was top notch: full of sausage, chicken, shrimp, and perfectly spiced. It was oh so good on a chilly Seattle evening, and oh so filling (in fact I didn't even have room left for the aforementioned beer). It was a little on the spendy side, but I suppose gone are the days when food truck food was priced considerably lower than a sit-down joint. I'll definitely be looking for WYAM again, perhaps even in the same spot (I can only hope, since it took me hears to happen upon it for my first try). I'm dying to try the beignets and one of the po' boys! read more

We were blown away by lunch takeout from this afternoon! We had the shrimp and grits, oyster po boys, jambalaya, mufaletta, gumbo, and beignets. We pre-ordered and all was good but they inadvertently missed the shrimp po boys from our order (but didn't charge us either). The oyster po boys were amazing with a tender but crusty bread and plump oysters with light breading. They are the best we've had in the area (have tried them from Mean Sandwich and Taylor Shellfish). My parents loved the Muffaletta, it reminded them of Cicero's grocery store in New Orleans. (We used to live in the south years ago two hours away from New Orleans and loved our weekends there sampling the yummy food!). The jambalaya and gumbo had a bit of kick and were well seasoned. My husband loved the shrimp and grits and thought it was better than the one we had from Communion recently. And the beignets took me back to cafe du Monde in the French Quarter strolling near the bank of Mississippi. Can't wait to go back!! read more

I've had a couple of delicious dinners from the Where Ya At Matt food truck during this pandemic, including once during a power outage. Love their Cajun and Creole food! We've tried: - Shrimp po boy: 5/5 - Oyster po boy: 4/5 - Creole pork po boy: 5/5 - Jambalaya: 5/5 - Coleslaw: 5/5 - Beignets: 5/5 - Sweet potato pie: 4/5 Highlights include their generous portion of shrimp breaded in cornmeal and fried to golden brown, then paired with fresh lettuce, tomato, and pickles, wrapped in a perfect New Orleans style French bread. Jambalaya was packed with flavor and even topped with a couple of fried shrimp. The beignets were still warm after dinner and covered in powdered sugar. So good! Go support a black-owned business. Follow their FB page to figure out where they will be. read more

I'm a fan of Where Ya At Matt! Whenever I see the truck and have a hankering for some cajun food, Where Ya At Matt always hits the spot. I tell myself every time I visit I'm gonna try the gumbo, but can't get over my favorite, the Shrimp Po'boy. The lightly-toasted baguette is smeared with mayo, which makes for a nice creamy sauce when you add hot sauce on it, which I highly recommend you do! On the po'boy is shredded lettuce, tomato slices and the meats. Every single time I get the Shrimp Po'boy, there is so much dang shrimp that I can only eat half of it. It's a huge portion and is easy to share with one other person; although, I don't blame you if you eat it all yourself! The only minor ish with the po'boy is that I wish the breading on the shrimp was lighter, but it's not too shabby. If po'boys aren't your thing, there's other cajun classics like gumbo, jambalaya and even beignets! I've found this truck before at the downtown Bellevue food truck pod across Barnes & Nobles and at miscellaneous events around Seattle. If you find Matt, give it a try! read more

It had been a while since Nola and I was missing beignets and PoBoys, so when I saw this big red food truck with beignets and Poboys on the menu, I could not resist. I was debating between Shrimp and Oyster. I ended up getting Peacemaker which is oyster with bacon (Pro tip: Bacon makes everything better) They have hot sauces on the side so don't forget to add them to your PoBoy to kick the heat up a notch. I also ordered a side of beignet which turns out was 3 pieces for $5. I would have loved a single one on the side but 3 for 5 is a great deal. The beignet was hot and tasty. It was a good accompaniment with the Poboy. The Peacemaker: Fried oyster with a crunchy coat and mushy inside. The sandwich was huge with lettuce and mayo. May be I'd go with shrimp next time. They also have another section on the menu called stick a fork in and they have gumbo / jambalaya on there. May be next time! read more

I just have to be honest. The food wasn't that great. I was expecting some really good genuine Cajun food. The food was fresh and everything, but it was just very bland. I was so disappointed with my food especially considering we drove awhile to come get it. I don't think this type of food would fly down south. Also, one other complaint. If you say you're gonna be open at a specific time, then be open. Very poor decision making to have a line of customers with your cooks ready to serve but hold up everything because you need to write the entire menu down on your chalkboard. We know what we want, we read the menu online. We have to read you online otherwise we wouldn't know where the heck to find you. You could have pre wrote the menu down. Tape a menu to the truck, or just stepped to the side. Sorry, but this did not come off very bright to me. read more

Came here for a birthday celebration and was sadly left unhappy. It was the worst interpretation of NOLA/ Creole Cajun food I have ever tasted. We ordered close to the entire menu. All of the food came out within 30 sec, in sealed containers and looked like they had been sitting for a long time. The oyster poboy was so bad we were nervous to eat it, and the breading was off of most of it. The bread was not po'boy bread. The red beans and the gumbo had the rice mixed in like you would expect a jambalaya. We had to go buy a second dinner because everything was inedible. read more

About a month ago I had a dream. I dreamt that I could find a great shrimp po' boy in the Pacific Northwest. After trying a few around town in recent months, I naturally assumed I would have to go without a great one, or even a decent one. Y'see, I went to New Orleans for my 40th berfday at the beginning of last March. I hadn't been to New Orleans since I graduated college there almost twenty years earlier, and I felt like getting and staying drunk as fuck for the entire week of my 40th, so why not go to New Orleans? On that trip I ate nothing but shrimp po' boys, and beignets from Cafe Du Monde. I'd never heard of a po' boy before I went to college, and once I tried one I constantly craved them. But, having moved to Seattle nearly eight months ago from Texas, I realized I would have to mostly go without things like Tex-Mex and Texas bbq, and other southern stuff. I notice Seattleites tend to drown bbq with sauce. If you serve it to a Texan that way, we wonder what the fuck you're hiding. At any rate, I'd seen some of my fellow local Yelpers promoting this particular food truck in a few different Yelp Talk threads, and I discovered that they spend every Wednesday lunch near my office, so I trucked it over there three weeks ago on my berfday. HOLY FRENCH QUARTER, BATMAN! This is definitely the best shrimp po' boy I've had in Seattle, and I've had almost all of them at this point. The beignets aren't quite as good as Cafe Du Monde's, but let's be honest -- no one's are. I've gone back to Matt's every Wednesday since my berfday for another shrimp po' boy, and today I even took a chance and tried out the cheese grits and cornbread. Oh my fucking GAWD, those were great! They give you honey butter with the cornbread, and I nearly fell out of my chair it was so delectable. The grits were the best cheese grits I've had, even better than my own. I'm so full now that I'll have to take an Uber to the bus stop after work. Pass the Tums. read more

Perfect oyster po' boys. The breading was just right, not heavy. The roll nestled the fried oysters like they were precious babies. The toppings didn't overwhelm the oysters. There were three of us and when the man who took our orders learned that one of us was having a birthday, he threw in three beignets. Thank you ! read more

A very pleasant surprise. The highland Park Corner Store host several excellent food trucks, but this was one of the best! Very organized taking orders and getting the food out. We had the Shrimp Po'boy, Jambalaya, Shrimp and Grits, and pumpkin pie. The shrimp was perfectly breaded and cooked, and the grits were so creamy (something that I have not perfected so it was a treat). We are not experts in Creole flavors but wow, all the flavors were a treat. Excellent! read more

Tried this for the first time and bought from their food truck here in MLT. I got a Creole Pork Po boy and a cup of Gumbo. The gumbo was a bit under seasoned for my taste. I was underwhelmed by it however the Creole Po boy was a great sandwich. it held together really well, the creole pork was the bomb, nicely seasoned, good heat, a touch of sweetness and Cajun spices balanced with a good slaw made a for a really good sandwich. The bread held everything. Together well, did not disintegrate or crumble. I would come back for the Po Boys! read more

Finally made my way to Where Ya Matt on Fat Tuesday. Just in time to try their king cake as it was the last day before Lent. The menu here is one of the better ones of all of the Seattle food trucks because there is a sizable selection of items to choose from. Expect to find NOLA favorites here including po boys, muffulettas, jambalaya, gumbo and of course, beignets! I decided to give the oyster po boy ($10) a try alongside a slice of the king cake ($3). Since the truck just opened, service was very fast. Maybe too fast for my tastes. The oyster po boy was okay tasting. I could taste some oyster flavorings, but it seemed like a lot of breading. Seems like they use small size oysters to create oyster strips. I think medium or large size oysters fried up would have been more enjoyable. The sandwich was lukewarm at best. It seemed like they fry up a batch of oysters ahead of time and then did a production line style preparation of the po boy. I would have definitely waited for oysters fresh out of the fryer, but I think this probably would be impractical for a food truck to do. The saving grace was the king cake. It is fantastically delectable. Really does taste like a cinnamon roll with sweet icing on top. It is too bad you can't get this treat now. Got to wait until next year. The oyster po boy was not my thing, but I am not discouraged. I would definitely give Where Ya At Matt another try. Especially to try their beignets! read more
