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...

Fat Matt's Rib Shack Restaurant Review

Black-and-white photographs of blues musicians who play here every night adorn the walls, as do photos of notables in their prime, such as a young B.B. King. This classic barbecue joint is properly scruffy and rough around the edges, but the crowds who line up to place their orders don't care. The food is inconsistent, although the most reliable item seems to be the pork sandwich, a thick pile...

This barbecue joint packs 'em in every evening for a taste of smoky ribs, beer, and local blues. The food is as good as the sultry music, which starts every night at 8pm.

This blues and barbecue shack is a favorite among locals who like their ribs as smoky as their music. Don't expect much in the way of decor. This is truly a shack, where patrons order at the counter, then sit elbow-to-elbow at plastic tables while chowing down on pork ribs, barbecued chicken, and pulled-pork sandwiches. There are sides of coleslaw, baked beans, and Brunswick stew -- a southern...

This homage to Southern roadside barbecue joints deftly produces bone-licking slabs, smoky chicken quarters, frosty pints and local blues acts nightly. The age range is evident in customer hairstyles ranging from moppy college bedhead to middle age charcoal. No cover and soul-stoking provisions compensate for tight, narrow dining. Wooden bench-lined patio substitutes guitar amps for traffic...

The show “On the Run Eating” brought me here. Bluesy atmosphere was nice and reminded me of home. Coming from Memphis, the BBQ was disappointing. I ordered the rib sandwich and the 1/2 of chicken. The meat did not fall off of the bone, and...

I had the Rib Sandwich and OMG it was fabulous!! Instructions come with this sandwich as it literally comes with the rib bones. No problem, just apply a little pressure to the sandwich and pull the bone out. By far the best version of a...
