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.

Went with my wife and my cousin... My first time there but their second. I heard so much good about the place that I had to check it out for myself... The food was very good and the service was just as good. If you need anything while eating your meal, someone is not far away who is willing to help... My wife and I live in Tallahassee but we can't wait to get back again as we spend a lot of time in Atlanta...
