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 had reservations for lunch today at 11:30am for Valentine's Day with my parents. Thank you Pit for making it memorable for my family. The food was spot-on and the staff was so personable and friendly. I forgot our servers names but the fact that they were friendly, attentive, and personable lived into your title of being authentic. The food was authentic and so was the staff, even while it got super busy & packed fast. Keep up the great work!

Fantastic service! My drink never got low. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. Collards were a little mushy but besides that I thoroughly enjoyed myself and would definitely go back.
