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.

Great food and service. Will be back for sure !!!!
Fat Matt's is always a wonderfully tasteful experience. The staff is prompt and polite. I recommend this place to everyone
Ribs were fantastic. And them Rum Baked Beans? Oh Lort!
Some of the best ribs I've ever tasted!!! The other stuff is good but the ribs (with just a touch of extra sauce) are SPECIAL.

While the food is great the inside seating is way too small for that loud band. Tables nearer to the band was empty due to the loud noise. No one sitting inside can communicate with their friends due to the loudness of the band.
The food was really good, but a little pricey. I wanted to get the ribs but I just could not convince myself to pay $13.50 for a 1/2 rack or $25 for a full rack.

Absolutely amazing. We were driving by and the smell is what caught our attention. We were lucky to have wandered in and discovered this world famous jewel
Great food! Good music! Great people! I would go here again.
I'm enjoying my staycation, was looking for a place to deliver to our hotel, found Fat Matt's online, since all the reviews were good, we decided to order, I'm so glad we did. We ordered, ribs, chicken, pulled pork, brunswick stew, collard greens, and macaroni and cheese, everything was delicious. Kellee Taylor, the kids, and I enjoyed everything. We didn't order dessert, $25 is too high for a sweet potato pie.
