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.

Went there yesterday around 3 pm. There was a graduation going on downtown so the place was packed. I Got the seasonal salad, with spinach, fresh strawberries, candied pecans and goat cheese that was literally to die for. I got the balsamic vinaigrette. Our server was super busy but also super friendly and helpful.

My first time at The Pit, and it won't be my last. One of the best briskets I've had in a LONG time! Didn't even need a knife to cut it. The staff was kind and personable, and they provided excellent service!

Good atmosphere, food wasn't great. Baby back ribs were dry and over-cooked.
