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.

We always meet our son here for lunch or dinner when we visit him at N C State University. It has become a well loved family tradition. The baby back ribs, pork Bbq, fried chicken and Mac n cheese always are on our plates. Even the valet attendants make the experience fun. Thank you for great food, environment, and service. The Pope family, Cedar Grove, N C.

Excellent service from my cicerone waitress. Excellent regional bbq (if you want it like they make it at home...stay at home).

Some of the best food I have ever eaten! Couldn't find one thing to complain about! Your manager Joe is fantastic too! Not only did he represent the restaurant well, I saw him pitching in taking away bus bins and refilling drinks. Great service!

Excellent food, very gracious and attentive waiters!! Chris was such a gentleman, and Brandon was great too. Treated us "out of towners" as if we were family friends. Would highly recommend.
