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 tasting bird and beans. Long queue but worth the wait.

Absolutely the BEST Ribs and Chicken in Atlanta. The MAC and CHEESE is a must. A true iconic place to eat!

The real deal boys and girls. Right up there with Dreamland and Rendezvous and some other pork joints around the country that I can't remember the names of. You will not be dissappointed by the ribs.

What a night! We were very impressed with our whole experience! The service was excellent and the ribs were to die for. We enjoyed a live group cranking out exquisite blues tunes. I would definitely recommend Mat's to anyone visiting Atlanta!

I forgot how good Fat Matt's was -- everything was absolutely delicious. Best collard greens I've ever had. Can't wait to go back.
