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.

Omg! What dumb asshole left a one star? Someone dropped them on their head as a child or theyr just bitter because their chicken and ribs aren't as good! This is where I go when I wanna eat low carb, believe it or not. I order the 1/2 chicken x2... and I save one for the next day. Alwayyyyyys buy a bottle of their freaking amazing sauce while you're there. Oh and don't be a dick, tip well.

Went for my birthday dinner the other nite. The food was delicious!! Fall off the bones ribs, the greens and mac & cheese were great. Tastes like your grandmother 's. The band was also very good. Definitely will be going back.
