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.

Bad! Bad! Bad! We visited Memorial Day weekend and it was disastrous! First, they were out of everything! Second, we waited an hour and a half for our food and our waitress only appeared twice. She seemed completely clueless! The manager said yes, we are having a bad night! I get that you can have a bad night but it is how you handle it that shows who you really are! We were brushed off completely! I am so embarrassed because we brought out of state guests for a true NC meal! What a joke! Never gong there again and planning ... read more
