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.

Amazing service and exceptional staff. The food was delicious. The loaded cheese fries are great and so is the salmon, mashed potatoes, and macaroni and cheese. I wish I lived closer, I would eat here often!

This is by far the best freaking BBQ I have ever had in my life. I visit here every time I'm in North Carolina on vacation with my family. Been going here for the last 5 years, and let me tell you there is no BBQ better than the South. I'm from Boston and I haven't touched BBQ up here for the last 5 years. Look forward to stopping in this Saturday while I'm in North Carolina on vacation.
