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 had Zach as our server tonight as a 7 top, & he did an exceptional job! He informed us it was his first night out of training but, literally every question we had about the menu, he was able to answer, and we all absolutely loved our food selections when we went with his suggestion. We can't wait to come back, and have him as a server again! Thank you for a great night!

Meh. Brisket was ok but it tasted more like pot roast. Fried okra was not crispy. If I had to guess it was microwaved. None of the food was hot, not cold, but luke warm.

The absolute best vegetarian BBQ my wife and I have ever eaten! The Pit menu calls it “BBQ Soy Nuggets.” Amazing flavor and texture. We’ve had it about 15 times so far. Buddy & Charlotte West

This place is amazing. Has great food and staff. Someone's grandma and auntie is somewhere in the kitchen making magic happen. I'm overwhelmed with my experience here. ���

I have been here several times, but this time was a huge disappointment. My order had TWO mistakes, and MOST of our food was cold! Not even lukewarm. Not going back.
