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 love this place. I've been coming for years, and it's as good as ever. Great barbecue, great blues music, wonderful staff. My favorite ribs in Atlanta, and if I'm in the mood for cheap and quick, a pulled pork sandwich with a bag of chips is under five bucks. A real Atlanta treasure!
