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 found fat matts to be good. However I was wishing for more of a diverse menu. Missing sausage and brisket. But my chicken was juicy and the sauce is very tangy. I'll go back for ribs in the near future.

If you need a review for Fat Matt's you're an idiot and should stay away. Your friends and family don't love you. If they did, they would've taken you here already. We don't need people like you crowding up the joint asking if you can substitute sides for chips on the sandwich platter (you can't, just order the mac & cheese or potato salad and pay for it), or asking for a quiet table away from the incredible music that plays here nightly. Go find a KFC somewhere, this is our place.

Great food and a fun atmosphere! The staff was very playful with the kids as well as the adults. Do yourself a favor and get dessert. I'm still dreaming about the sweet potato pie and my daughter's brownie.
