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 was open minded about NC BBQ, coming from KC, but have had much better BBQ in NC for half the price. Brisket was cooked well but lacked that smoke flavor you want when eating authentic BBQ. Was a good quality meal, but not what I would call BBQ by any state's standards.

Great food and the fact that they have complimentary valet parking makes it easy to just go in and start eating! Only issue I had was the brisket had a bit too much fat but it was still delicious.

We had, green fried tomatoes, pulled pork, green beans, blackeye pea, salad w/ranch, brunswick stew. Stew & sweet tea is all they have going for them. Not a thank you, come back to see us or how is everything? No, I will not be back when in the area

Stay away from the hamburger! It was falling apart, was told it was fine, 3.5 hours later, cramps and projectile vomiting.
