Hot barbecue and hotter music have combined to make this Midtown spot a local legend. The line of folks eager to get their hands on the award-winning ribs can stretch for a dozen yards outside the door, but the wait is worth it. Try the Brunswick stew and pick up a bottle of Fat Matt's secret sauce so you can try and duplicate these pit-roasted wonders at home. Local blues performers stop by daily to pick a few numbers for your dining enjoyment. In the mood for chicken? Try Fat Matt's Chicken Shack, the Rib Shack's sister joint.
