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.

Teh entire meal from start to finish was fantastic. Don't miss the sampler plate! The Pit Bacon cheeseburger is indescribably good. If you want great service...ask for Victoria. She is amazing!

Food was okay... maybe it’s better on other days. Went there with way too high of an expectation. Brisket was tasteless, and fried okras were cold. Carolina style Ribs were okay. Nothing really special. Service was good at least. I hope they improve. Willing to try once more on another time. I will update the review then.

Was in town, from Columbus Oh, for the Dropkick Murphys/Flogging Molly's concert. Had the pulled BBQ and pulled Turkey. Both were delicious. Service was great. Would be back the next time I'm the area.
