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.

If you like great Pit cooked / NC style bbq and excellent homemade comfort food sides , a must try while in Raleigh. Great service, huge portions. The best NC style bbq I have had - needs little sauce. I had the chopped pork bbq. Excellent!
