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.

Nice ribs and live music, too

 by  masterd92782  on  2008-10-18

Smallish hole-in-the-wall ribs joint. The meat on the ribs is tender/juicy and, as advertised, does fall right of the the bones. Free live ba...
