An Atlanta institution for more than 20 years, Fat Matt's keeps packing them in. On most nights you will find a line out the door of people eager to get to their famous barbecue. Fat Matt’s was most recently mentioned by George Clooney in the movie Up in the Air as where to go for barbecue in Atlanta.
Owner Matt Harper, who is actually quit slim, has perfected the art of Southern BBQ. Not limited to the North Carolina or Kentucky styles, Fat Matt's uses their own seasoning and cooking technique. These ribs are smoked to perfection and literally falling off the bone. Fat Matt's ribs have been voted Best Of Atlanta by INsite readers and other publications.
The ribs can be ordered as a whole, half slab, or on a sandwich. They also serve great barbecue chicken and pork. The signature side is their Rum Baked Beans, but they also have delicious Brunswick Stew, Roasted Peanuts, Potato Salad, and Cole Slaw. Fat Matt's serves 9 beers on tap and more in bottles.
They feature live blues seven nights a week. Fat Back Deluxe performs every Sunday night and has a huge following. The rest of the week’s schedule is as follows: Mondays-Uncle Sugar; Tuesdays - J.T. Speed; Wednesdays - Deacon Brandon Reeves; Thursdays - Chickenshack. Check out their website for weekend performances as well as catering information and online purchases of such things as BBQ Sauce, T-Shirts and CD's.
Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q

In 2001 the brothers Jonathan and Justin Fox had a party at their house where they smoked up some barbecue for friends. They served homemade sides and plenty of drink and even had live bands. The event became a yearly tradition and grew each year with more elaborate menus and better barbeque each time. By 2004 the Fox’s were cooking for 200 plus folks all showing up to these events. The brothers started catering and Fox Bros Bar-B-Q was born. With help from the guys at Smith’s Olde Bar, they opened the Candler Park location. Since then Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q has won several dining awards including Best Barbecue by INsite Readers in 2009.
Although originally from Texas, they offer "Southern style" barbecue and all their meats are hickory smoked. Their signature Smoked Chicken Wings are in the smoker for 4 hours and dipped in their homemade wing sauce. Another favorite is the Tomminator; tater-tots topped with Brunswick stew and melted cheese.
Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q is located on the corner of DeKalb Ave. and Elmira. They have plenty of indoor seating and offer a large outdoor patio dining area which is popular on summer nights. Fox Bros. is open for lunch and dinner 7 days a week. Fox Bros. homemade Bar-B-Q sauce is available for sale at Whole Foods.
