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.

Amazing food! Ribs, collard greens, and mac n cheese were incredible. No line for a late lunch! Small seating space available, but that's the charm!! Best BBQ I've eaten in a long time!

The "rum" baked beans AND greens AND potato salad were delish. I was dipping the bread in the BBQ sauce. I haven't had Fat Matt's in about 8 years and it tasted just like I remembered. I got the 1/4 rib chicken combo with sides.

Great food, ice cold delicious lemonade, friendly servers. Bring cash to tip cause you can't do it on your receipt. Tip your waitresses and then tip them again! You can't miss here. The ribs are great, the mac and cheese is delicious, and the sweet potato pie is very good.
