At Phat Matt's Smokin' barbecue, we can handle it all for you.
Hello. My name is Matthew Kuiper and I'm the owner and pitmaster of Phat Matt's Smokin' Barbecue in Las Vegas, New Mexico. I have spent the last several years coming up with recipes and creating a menu that reminded me of my childhood. Real comfort foods like grandma used to make or that you would find at the old neighborhood picnic. Recipes like creamy, decadent macaroni and cheese baked with a crumb topping and baked beans in a rich sauce with apple wood smoked bacon and caramelized onions. We make everything fresh, from our rubs and barbecue sauces, to our cole slaw and our carrot cake. We use the finest ingredients in everything we make.

We cook our meats low and slow to perfection using a unique blend of hardwoods that complement not overpower their flavor and we believe the end result is going to keep you coming back for more.That's barbecue the right way!
We offer two types of catering services. Drop off catering service, which includes everything you need to get your event off and running, or full service catering, where we come and handle it all for you. Either way you go, you'll be in for a unique experience that will keep you coming back for more.
So if your in northern New Mexico, and you have a wedding coming up and want something different, or a corporate event that your hosting and you really want to leave an impression, or a family reunion and you want the most memorable backyard barbecue ever. Just give us a call at 505-400-1794, and soon you'll be enjoying the best barbecue this side of Memphis!!!
