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.

Yesterday was an off day and it was still excellent. I've been eating here weekly for 27 years, and even on there off days it's still the best in town.

Did not enjoy the ribs at all. the sides all fell short as well. the brunswick stew was very good. will probably not return.
