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.

Our dinner at the Pit was wonderful. First a patron leaving the restaurant helped me get my Mama's wheelchair over the curb; another held the door for me to push her in; we were seated right away; the food was delicious; Mama inhaled her hot apple pie and ice cream; Josh and Pat took great care of us; and finally, the valet didn't just return my car, he didn't leave until he helped me get Mama and her wheelchair back into my car. Bravo The Pit!
