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.

The pit is a experience to say the least,great barbecue, mac & cheese with a tremendous environment, but what made it so tremendous was we were celebrating our Granddaughters birthday.

Though The Pit get good reviews, I found it to be below average in the BBQ arena. I travel all over the US for work, Rudy's BBQ in Houston TX, and Texas Black's in Austin TX are far better at BBQ. Sorry NC BBQ lovers, The Pit just ain't it...
