Even if you miss the tiny stage set up in one corner of this shoe-box
shaped barbecue shack, the framed bluesmen on the wall give it
away. At Fat Matt's Rib Shack, Muddy Waters and Jimmy Rogers
look down at the long tables in this small venue as if they'd
love to join you at the table.
<br>
Fat Matt's has got the basics down here: chopped pork, ribs
or birds, slab, half-slab or sandwich, and quarter-slab/quarter-bird
combos, with sides of rum baked beans, Brunswick stew, roasted
peanuts and slaw. That's it, and that's all you'll
need. With pitchers or glasses of beer, of course.
<br>
But it's the live blues that elevate this nondescript slab
of brick on Piedmont Road to a true must-hear eatery. Things get
started every night around 8PM, with musicians gathered under
the black-and-blue mural at one end of the building. Get there
early, or you may have to listen from your seat on one of the wooden
booths outside. And be warned that parking is limited.

This cozy(small) midtown establishment has perhaps the best
ribs in town. I higly recommend the rib sandwich or bbq chicken.
The pulled pork bbq sandwich is just standard, but everything
else on the menu gets 5 stars. Good beer selection-both draft
and bottle-along with good music can make for a great pre or post
party stop. Parking and seating can be limited-particularly
for outdoor dining-so get it to go if you have to, just don't
miss out on this great dining "shack".
