Im sorry i can't help ya with places around atlanta but I am glad to see that I'm not the only one that is obsessed with BBQ. I love to try new BBQ places all the time but I really enjoy cooking it myself.

Fat Matts is my favorite one in Atlanta.

I've heard great things about Fat Matts. That might be the first place I go.

I love to try new BBQ joints. I try to go to the local ones when we go out of town.

I recommend the ribs or the brisket. Usually the girlfriend and I will will order those and share. I get the hot BBQ sauce on the side and dip the rib meat. The Mac and cheese is phenomenal and I love their potato wedges and beans as well. The cornbread is dense and sweet, which is different, but reay good. They have good lemonade as well (I usually get an Arnold Palmer with unsweet tea). Finally, a local lady from the neighborhood makes cakes for them - the strawberry cake is just amazing. You should also order the BBQ bites for an appetizer.

It's legit. The location is cool, too - right next to Oakland Cemetery. We just ate there on Sunday. I've been going there for 15 years. The service is excellet and the owner is usually there to visit inbetween orders. Great experience all around.

Ill check it out next time I'm in Atlanta. I'm a 100% rib guy when I eat at BBQ places and Matt's is the best I've had.

add...Beaver Creek Biscuits and Barbeque, Lithia Springs GA. to your list...

This place was absolutely packed by 11:30, drawing an enormous lunch rush from the businesses around Thornton Road, so plenty of people know where it is. Once you find this place, you're not likely to forget it, for it is terrific. This is easily among the best, if not the outright, hands-down best, pulled pork in the region.
