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.

And I’ve never eaten barbecue anywhere that didn’t come with some kind of bread. Hushpuppies, biscuits, cornbread, rolls, white bread - but we got nothing. I’d go back, but only if I was already parked on the next block aga... read more
