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.

Outstanding grub, great ambiance, killer live blues. First real Southern BBQ I've had, and he'll if I didn't start off in the right place! If I'd had checked luggage, I'd have brought home a ton of that sauce, yum!

I'm a New Jersey city girl and I love a good dinner. Well this visit was well worth it. We ordered the pulled pork sandwich, potato salad and Mac n cheese. Yummy definitely will be returning.

We were visiting from Virginia and couldn't say enough good things about the ribs! So tender and yummy! The meat just slid right off the bone! If ever traveling through again, we will be back!

The beans were great, but the ribs were too sugary
