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.

Usually if you get a vegetarian option at a place that specializes in meat, you don’t expect much. I got the portobello mushroom sandwich and was blown away with how much flavor they packed into it! Best portebello sandwich I ever ate!

East Carolina BBQ pork was great! Pimento fries are a must. I’d highly recommend The Pit.

The pulled pork was very dry and spicy. Not what I am use to coming from the south. Service was great!

Everything thing that we had was so good from the starters to the desert. The wait staff were very attentive and so nice. We definitely plan on visiting again.
