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.

Came to pick up a to go order and the woman at the register was so incredibly rude. We were told our order would be ready when we got there, the woman at the front told me it wasn’t ready and that we weren’t told that and basically accused me of lying and then dismissed me with a wave of the hand. She was short, interrupted me, and was overall unpleasant. The food may be good but I can get better bbq with a lot better service other places.

12 years in Georgia and I finally made the trip to see what the hoopla is all about. It's decent. Can't say that I would slap my mama but still good all the same.

This is normally great, but what I picked up last night was dry and flavorless. Quality control please. I refer a lot of people to you guys. Please continue to be an Atlanta craving!
