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 food might be good but the service was poor. Call ahead and still waited over 20 min. Like it didn't matter I called.

The ribs were excellent as was the entertainment. It was an unexpected pleasant surprise. Every time I've driven by there I've seen a line of people waiting to get in to place their order. Now I know why. For as busy as this place is I think the staff is outstanding. No complaints about customer service at all. We were very well treated and taken cared for. Definitely will be going back.

The ribs are usually excellent but this time we're a little burned. We told the server and brought us some more. The were better. Great music and atmosphere.

Im from Texas, and this was some of the best BBQ I had tasted! The beans were so delicious and the brownies melted in your mouth! The service was phenomenal. They gave you that down home hospitality feeling. We will be back soon!!!
