Po’Boy & Tings is a Seattle-born food truck with a Creole Louisiana soul. Back in 2017, we were slingin’ sandwiches from a humble 10’ x 10’ festival tent—two fryers, two coolers, and an entire setup packed into a 94 Honda Accord—powered by hustle, heart, and a whole lotta love. In summer 2021, we leveled up to a full food truck and haven’t slowed down since. Now partnered with Great Notion Brewing in Ballard, we’re servin’ up flavor seven days a week with an exploded menu featuring exotic smash burgers, wings, salads, a kids menu, and even a non-seasoned smash burger for your four-legged family. Our mission is simple: bring bold, authentic Creole flavor and true Southern hospitality to the PNW. If you haven’t tried US, come #GetServed

Po’Boy and Tings, owned by the charismatic Chef Sean, is a true culinary gem embedded within a brewery in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle. If you’re craving authentic Louisiana Creole cuisine, come over and bring “ya mom and them!”
Upon arriving on a rainy, but busy Saturday night, I was personally greeted with a warm “bear hug” from Chef Sean himself, which immediately set a friendly and inviting tone. The restaurant is located inside the Great Notion brewery, a great spot for combining excellent food with craft beer.
Every item I tried was a “real deal” taste of New Orleans, made with care and authentic ingredients. While waiting for my main order, I enjoyed some very good hush puppies. Chef Sean’s head cook also surprised me with a sample of freshly made gumbo. Having not eaten gumbo in years, I was thrilled by this authentic dish with its perfectly made roux. It was packed with big bites of andouille sausage, shrimp, and chicken, all served over rice.
I couldn’t resist ordering a pan of the hot wings that Chef Sean pulled fresh from the oven. These were, without a doubt, the best chicken wings I’ve ever eaten! Chef Sean makes all his sauces from scratch, and each one is a “flavor bomb” – addictive and incredibly flavorful.
The oyster Po’Boy I took home was exceptional and rivaled any I’ve had since moving from New Orleans. The secret is the authentic French bread sourced from Leidenheimers, the oldest bakery in New Orleans (a detail that rivals Chef Matt Lewis’s food truck offerings). The sandwich was generously filled with oysters and dressed with the perfect combination of lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and a special sauce. I finished half that night and saved the other half to enjoy the next day.
Chef Sean’s passion for his craft shines through in every dish. He works hard but loves what he does, and it shows. Great Notion brewery is incredibly fortunate to have Po’Boy and Tings in their kitchen. I was all about the food this time, but I look forward to pairing a brew with another round of that amazing food on my next visit!
Visiting last night, it was clear Chef Sean is truly following in his father’s footsteps. He shared the sad news that his father has passed, but in true professional form, he didn’t miss a beat. He wasn’t his usual self, but he still served with the kind of pride only a son honoring his father can show. As I took a picture, the tattoo on his arm caught my eye—it’s a moving reminder that for Chef Sean, family is the heart of everything he creates.
I got the wing and fries special since I was in the mood for wings. They were not huge but there were a lot of them and I unfortunately kept eating them even after I was full. 🙁
Service was great. These guys seem to care about what they are serving and your enjoyment of the food. The lady sitting next to me had a catfish po’ boy and it looked delicious, too.
I’ll be back for the food and the beer. As noted by another reviewer there is a huge selection of hot sauces to try.
I got the 8″ oyster + shrimp po’boy and it was EXCELLENT. For $21, I won’t be getting it often- but then again there arent a lot of places in Seattle that serve them for any price- and this was quite tasty. In future I’d probably go all-in on shrimp instead of getting 3 toppings.
There’s a slew of hot sauces on hand, and the house sauce that comes on the sando is great. Nice flaky bread and the lettuce/tomatos were quality. Paired with a nice stout, it was a most enjoyable sandwich experience!
Bonus points, they’ve got fried pickles. It’s well worth the cost and the atmosphere is cozy. I’m leaving full and very happy.
