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.

Ribs were great, a lil pricey, but we got a slab and had some for breakfast. Sides not so good...$2.50 for a tiny cup of collard greens, they were bagged greens, full of stems and sugar! I couldn't even eat em. Baked beans were ok. Cole slaw left something to be desired. Even tho the line was out the door, it moved fast and great service.
