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.

I really enjoyed it. We had a few hours to burn waiting for the train. The deviled eggs were amazing! Fried chicken was delicious. Well done!!!

The bbq was soaked in vinegar to the point it was almost trash... the mac n cheese and mash potatoes were great though...the brisket my friend ordered was pretty good but over priced in my opinion... the atmosphere was great but the parking is terrible on a Saturday...

The food was great. The service was poor. Paid more attention to larger groups than my daughter and me. She got the wrong side dish, but we could not correct because no one came to check on us after food arrived.

I stopped eating pork and beef in 2014, so I was delighted to enjoy the chopped turkey BBQ at the Pit. Great service during our visit.
