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 was bomb! great food, clean atmosphere, only issue is beyond their control is the 1 hour max parking outside which is a City issue. From the greeter, to the waiter to the door, I will be back!! 

Business response:

Thank you so much for your kind review, William! We appreciate it!
