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 ate there today with our 3 year old. He is not always the easiest to please. The staff was so accommodating and helped everyone have an enjoyable experience. They spoke to him like they genuinely valued his opinion and even had a stamp for his hand. He was so happy! Oh, and the food was amazing!! (We all recommend the Mac and cheese)

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.
