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 absolute best vegetarian BBQ my wife and I have ever eaten! The Pit menu calls it “BBQ Soy Nuggets.” Amazing flavor and texture. We’ve had it about 15 times so far. Buddy & Charlotte West

I have been here several times, but this time was a huge disappointment. My order had TWO mistakes, and MOST of our food was cold! Not even lukewarm. Not going back.
