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.

Best bbq in town! First time we didn’t have to wait in line outside. Always busy. We always take home a bottle of sauce. The best!

Everything on the menu is good. We have yet to not like anything. Although there is usually a line out the door to get in, it is well worth the wait and everyone standing in it is pleasant to talk to and in a good mood. The place stays packed because it is all THAT! Especially when you mix in some good jazz music and some fun people. We have sat alone and with people we have never met and always have a blast.
