Matt & Memere's

The jambalaya is packed w flavor and nice big chunks of meat that ya def can't miss. Did someone say crinkle cut fries...I'm there. Ask for it spicy and you get a lil dusting of heat nicely paired w ranch dip. Staff was super courteous and plenty of outdoor partially covered seating. There's even a few chairs surrounding a fire pit. I've driven by this spot lots and noticed all the food carts. Glad I finally got to try one. Would like to try a Po'boy next time or another Cajun classic dish. Kudos for bringing the South to PNW :)

The Wife and I have wonderful memories of New Orleans, we spent our honeymoon there. It is not hard to become a fan of Creole food and all the other options that area brings. That being said, good Creole food is hard to come by in the Pacific Northwest. Oh, it is around, but rarely is it memorable. It didn't take long to go from hearing about Matt and Memere's to actually standing in front of the menu board and salivating at the offerings. Fried platters, gumbo, jambalaya, fried pickles, catfish, shrimp, chicken, it goes on for a while! We've been here several times now and everything has been just perfect. The catfish, the shrimp and the fried pickles are a favorite of ours. Eventually we will work our way through the entire menu. As good as the food is, the service is even better. You feel appreciated for picking their food cart and as busy as they can get, they always have time to talk to you, make recommendations and help you pair hot sauces. The cart pod is nice, it is sandwiched between a small strip mall and a Chipotle. There is a large, covered area to sit and enjoy your meal.

I lived in New Orleans for a good amount of time and I have family there, so I was craving food from there. So, a couple of weekends ago I went there. I was soooooo excited! I wanted to order everything. I checked Yelp and their website to just make sure that they were open. It all said that they were, so we drove over there. Well, they were NOT open and we hung around for quite a while but they still did not open. I was so disappointed. We left. What else could we do? When you want étouffée and a muffuletta it's hard for me to want something else. It was a huge bummer for me.

My wife decided on the Jambalaya from Matt & Memere's, and was kind enough to share it with me, as her serving made for a generous lunch. When I visit a new (to me) spot with New Orleans food, I have a hard time predicting whether the it will be pleasantly spicy and flavorful, or just hot for the sake of being hot. Fortunately, Matt & Memere's falls in the first group - all the ingredients working together, each with their own distinct flavors (including the rice), and nothing that is overtly painful to put in your mouth.Not being an expert in Cajun cuisine, I would be happy to use this spot as my baseline for judging any future meals. Realistically, I'd guess that I'll be returning here most often, because, if it ain't broke.... why go anywhere else?My only regret - not trying the beignets on my first visit. Looking forward to fixing that situation in the near future.

I was able to find this gem on a midweek day. The service was fast and friendly, and the food was fantastic. I highly recommend the pool boy as well as the jambalaya when they have it available. I will definitely will be going back and tell my friends about it!

I have been lucky to visit Nawlins several times in the past, I had a friend that went to Loyola around my 20th. What is not to love about the culture and food, the food, what can we say about the food, delicious in every form, even the chicory coffee. Enough about me. I am a sandwich freak, and the Bayou's version is AAA, done right, food should put a smile on your face, the crawfish & Shrimp Po'Boy, my buddy liked the catfish Po'Boy. Triple A, they were goooooood, that being said, I am smiling and thinking about my next visit and what will I get, Crawfish Etouffee, Gator Po'Boy or Catfish with a Crayfish Etouffee. They are legit Bayou, super friendly.

We placed an order through Too Good to Go and drove an hour round trip to try this place. They were completely shut and locked up at our designated pick-up time. From reviews, it sounds like this is a usual occurrence for them, to disrespect customers by not meeting their legal obligation to fulfill an order that was placed online, and wasting their time. We won't be back.

The food quality and flavor have gone down hill and The two boys working the food truck are rude. We originally patronized their food truck last year and being from the south ourselves loved the taste of home and the southern hospitality of Matt and Mimi. This week was a totally different food truck. Unfortunately we will not be coming back. The rudeness of the staff alone is enough to push customers away. Sad to see what was once a lovely food truck go down hill.

My fish was horrible. It was not seasoned at all. Not even a bit. It taste like it was brought right out the sea and battered with cornmeal. And when I asked the young man to fry it hard he said "fry hard, I've never heard of that". I thought this was a southern restaurant and it's not. I spent 20 dollars and threw it away.
