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.

I ordered the Fat Matt combo (1/4 slab of beef ribs and 1/4 bird chicken) with the rum baked baked beans and coleslaw sides. Finger-licking good and great wait staff. I will definitely come back! Street side looks like a simple mom and pop drive-in, but looks are deceiving. I am glad I came and will definitely come back.
