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.

Excellent NC Style southern BBQ. Nice atmosphere, good service, valet parking. The chopped BBQ with sweet potato fries and cole slaw and an appetizer of fried green tomatoes really hit the spot!

Called an order in. I had to go to the bar to pick it up. Bartenders wouldn’t come over to me. Stood there for 10 mins and one bartender came and got my information. Came back with the receipt but never came back so I could pay. I finally got another servers attention and explained what was happening. She said she didn’t work in this section and that the bartenders could help. I told her that they weren’t helping me. She took the receipt and got my food. I don’t know how long it had been sitting there, by the time I got home... read more

Nice venue, however, the BBQ was not all that. We are visiting from overseas and was told this was the place to go - even saw the restaurant featured on a cooking show on Netflix. I have to say I was very disappointed with the food. Not was I was expecting at all -very dry!! make the brisket and ribs so much better myself. A shame, perhaps the place has gone to be to famous!
