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.

The brisket is phenomal, hush puppies were the best I've had, and sweet tea was great. I like that multiple people wait on you so you aren't left sitting there waiting for your specific waiter/waitress to get back around to you. Derinultey gonna be coming back.

The wait staff was wonderful. The food was very good. The hostesses however were rude and uncooperative. We had 9 in our party and after waiting over an hour they "lost" our name in the list. There were many table open at 4:30 in the afternoon. We should have been seated much sooner.
