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.

We go a few time a year now but when it was under original ownership with Ed Mitchell as pit master we went once a month simply because it was like a small step back in time to when my grand parents would cook. Don’t get me wrong the pit is still an awesome place to eat it’s just not the same as when it first opened with Ed cooking. Not downing them just saying it was better before.
