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 Fat Matts BBQ. The Ribs are my favorite but I do eat the chicken too. A cold beer and fixins. Great bands. One of my favorites is Blue Roads and The Way Back Band. I highly recommend stopping in.

They only serve pork ribs and I like beef ribs better, but don't get me wrong... Very tasty.

Customer Service seems lacking, but the food is excellent when you can get it. Don't bother trying to do takeout, even during the week. But if you have the time and physical ability to wait in line for 30-60 min, definitely give this place a try.

Ribs were great, pulled pork sand which was equally as great! Decent prices, decent beer selection and great food!

The food is awesome and the customer service matches it! We definitely will be back! My 2 yr old said the macaroni and cheese was good and that's a rare thing for him to say about food I didn't cook.

FAT MATTS, A GREAT PLACE TO GO ON TUESDAY!! THEY WERE VERY ACCOMMODATING, WE HAD A PARTY OF 10 ARRIVING AT DIFFERENT TIMES.WE WERE ABLE TO GET A TABLE LARGE ENOUGH FOR EVERY ONE. THE BLUES/CASH MUSIC WAS PROVIDED BY GREY SARTIN AND PETE AND OF COURSE THE BARBEQUE RIBS WAS THE FOOD OF CHOICE
