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 got the rib sandwich which is three bones with two slices of bread. Tender ribs and good seasoning. Great lemonade too!

I have to say I’m hard to please when it’s about bbq. My wife did some checking on a few places and this one was rated high. The place is fantastic. The meal was great and the prices are just right. The employees where great too! Place is a must go to when you visit.
