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.

First time eating at Fat Matt's the food was delicious. Service done with a smile. Everyone was so nice. Will definitely dine again there. I live about 30-40 min away but its worth the �!!!

Pulled pork sandwich was awesome! The only issue is the small parking lot.

Talk about outstanding local food. Came here for a conference and left extremely satisfied. The ribs, greens and mac were fabulous. Our Uber driver used to work in the finance world with the owner and highly suggested this place! It's a MUST GO!!!

Fall off the bone ribs are amazing! I highly recommend this spot for anyone. Staff makes you feel like you're home.

Great place the staff was great, the live performance was ok except that the performer forgot the words to an EW&F song which I thought was very funny, the bird and ribs combo was great and affordable.
