Slab review by Sethrubenstein
Worth the legendary status.
Rib Sandwich review by Cmckeever
You won't find better ribs and rum baked beans better than this! Baby, that sauce and along with one of their ice-chilled mugs of draft, you're in "hog heaven!" Nothing better than Fatt Matt's after a bike ride through downtown Atlanta and to sit in that ambience of BBQ deliciousness. Lord, help me! Can't miss with Fatt Matt's and the people are awesome!
1/4 Slab & 1/4 Bird review by Stephanie
The meat was so tender on the ribs and the chicken was amazing. Every time we eat here, no leftovers make it out. The sauce that they provide is so delicious. Its the right anount of spice in every bite. I have to order extra sauce because one just isnt enough. I usually get the baked beans and collard greens to accompany it. Its the best meal to order when you go.
Slab review by James
Ordered two full slabs of ribs. Came with several slices of bread and a cup of sauce (more than enough sauce). Ribs were meaty and done to a turn. Even better, I ordered them online and when I showed up to get them at the time they told me to be there, they were ready to go!
Pint of Collard Greens review by Marilyn
Collards are delicious, tastes like someones Auntie with jiggly arms was making them all day. Goes great with some hot sauce and pepper sauce. Not bitter, not sweet either, just perfection savory
1/2 Slab review by Rochelle
Divine ribs. Slide off the bone. Delicious sauce.
1/4 Slab & 1/4 Bird review by Oria

1/4 Slab & 1/4 Bird review by Blatasha042
It's been a minute since I been to Atl but I had to have surgery and I needed a lil bit of fat Matt's in my life while I was in atl. Man was it good!!!!! Coming all the way from the Queen City…. Charlotte NC. We love your food Matt!
Brunswick Stew review by Marilyn
Always love a cup of this and I add some of the pulled pork to it and even some baked beans too. Nice and flavorful
Pint of Rum Baked Beans review by Marilyn
Baked beans arent sweet like most other places but I like it just fine. Its tangy and a nice contrast to the collards and the meats, compliments the other sides and cuts of meat very well.
