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 would treat an animal nicer than they treated me after spending a day at Emory!

The wait in line was worth it. The staff are personable and the hospitality was great. Glad the other restaurant of choice was closed.

I think this restaurant is a great place to take people who are visiting Atlanta for the first time it offers great tasting ribs and baked beans I would like to see improvement on the wait time people waiting to place an order to go and people waiting for a table to sit down seems like it should be two separate lines but I guess that's never going to happen but overall is an exceptional place to visit and great sounding blues and other live bands
