About this business

Delicious barbecue and mesmerizing music have combined to make this Midtown spot a local legend. Patrons queue up for a dozen yards outside the door eager to sample their award-winning ribs, and it is well worth the wait. Opt for their ribs slab or pork sandwich with Brunswick stew and collard greens washed down with a chilled beer. Don't leave without a bottle of Fat Matt's secret sauce so you can try their pit-roasted wonders at home. Some of the best local blues bands perform here nightly for your dining enjoyment.

We were there with a group of 14 people. Our wait was about 15 minutes because the place was jam packed!! The music coming out of there was exceptional!! My husband and I had the combo Rib and chicken plate. Tender falling of the bone meat, the chicken was truly good. The sauce was good. I petsonally like my BBQ. sauce sweeter, but our overall experience was "Excellent". Oh yes, o forgot the sweet potato pie! It was amazing!!! Definitely recommend this place!

Best BBQ in the state, and a close second to Piggy Park in West Columbia SC. Always a great experience when I eat here.
