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.

My baby back ribs were extremely dry and hard to even get off the bone; however my friend had a different experience the same night with her ribs. I was jealous. Excellent fried okra! Excellent biscuits and hush puppies!

Hush puppies were great! Cornbread and honey butter ok. I don't care for the dry smoked baby back ribs or vinegary sauces but that's just me. Fried chicken excellent. Potato salad, cole slaw, mac & cheese, BBQ beans all really good.

Family Style is the way to go! Very good food, and the banana pudding is amazing.

Made a special trip to the Pit when in Raleigh just for their baby back ribs, but they were out. So disappointed 😔 made friends at the bar thought. Next time I think about going I'll call first! 

Business response:

Sorry about being out of ribs. Please call and ask for Robert when you call and I'll make sure we take care of you.
