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.

The lady with the missing teeth at the counter was rude. My daughter and I both said she needs to find a job that she enjoys. Clearly she was unhappy!

My favorite and I've been in ATL for 10 years. Whether you choose ribs or a great sandwich you can spend as little or as much as you want and never be disappointed.

We were in Atlanta for a meeting. We decided to try Fat Matt's. To say it was AMAZING doesn't even describe the food. The combo plate was a VERY REASONABLE $10! Big portions, great staff, very friendly & the live music was a big plus too. Sad to say we leave tomorrow. See you next year FAT MATT's!!!

These folks are everything right with the world. Thank you so much for making this Yankee feel welcome. A truly bright star in the heart of Atlanta. Glad I was able to get there twice on my short visit.
