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.

Amazing ribs and sauce. But, the Brunswick stew is the best I’ve ever had. The lemonade is from scratch and is nearly perfect in every detail.

The ribs are super, and so are collard greens, macaroni and cheese, and the sweet potato pie. They have some great blues bands that play there every night.
