About this business

The Pit offers some of the best barbecue in Raleigh. Set in a restored early 20th Century meatpacking warehouse, the restaurant carries on the North Carolina barbecue tradition by serving full-hog, pit-cooked pork, and other barbecue essentials. But The Pit is more than a generic barbecue restaurant: it combines the generous portions of classic meat-loving joints with some surprises. The pork is free-range, and guests can enjoy barbecued tofu, wines, cocktails, and a comprehensive list of bourbons.

Service and food has always been outstanding! The BBQ Chicken and Banana Pudding (heated by request) made me a regular. The hostess Cathy has always been very accommodating and welcomes me to the restaurant by name. Each table is assigned a group of waitresses/waiters which ensures that I'm always taken care of. The waitress Alesha rocks at outstanding service and customer satisfaction. Everyone is always friendly.
