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.

I didn't like the texture of the brisket. It was rubbery. For $17.99 the portion of brisket was small. The pulled pork was plentiful yet the flavor wasn't the best that we've had as it lacked the authentic flavor. The hush puppies were delicious. The servers were very polite. The vibe was good.
