More information on Fat Matt's Rib Shack
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 concoction that's a cross between a thick gravy and a thicker meat stew. Snack on an "appetizer" of peanuts in the shell, washed down with ice-cold beer, while waiting for your order.Live music -- authentic blues by a variety of local and regional groups -- starts every night around 8pm. People pack into the small space, and it's usually standing room only, especially on weekends, so come early if you want to see the show. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
