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 best brisket I've ever had. Chopped Pork and Fried Chicken are also excellent. Great prices, and great service. I will definitely be back.

BBQ was not good at all. Brisket was dry and side were ok but small. Fast service and food tho

Amazing ribs, good beer selection but most of all, amazing staff. The packed house on a Friday at 4:00 tells you how good it is and an icon in the Warehouse District.

While the pimento cheese balls, brunswick stew, hush puppies and carrot cake were all excellent the wings (burnt) and the carolina ribs and brisket (both dry) were very dissappointing. Won't be going back.
