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 seen this restaurant on food network so I had to come try it. I drove from abbeville SC just to come eat cause it look good on TV. When I got there I ordered over 50 sum dollars worth food. I couldn't enjoy my food because I got sauce for rum beans. I paid all that money and got home was pissed off just ruin my dinner and drove that far for sauce Nah. I waist slot of money coming there

Never trust a skinny cook! Fat Matt tells a greater story. Excellent ribs and BBQ. Some days I wish it were closer than 29 mi away. But, if it were closer, Matt would have me much fatter. Really good Brunswick stew too. Try it for yourself, but know that it's addictive.

Three of us had same pork sandwich with different sides, all excellent. The staff is so friendly coming around and asking if you need anything, refilling beverages, taking empties, etc.. Always a treat to come here.
