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.

This was our third visit to the pit. The brisket and the BBQ are ribbon winners here. The Soul rolls are also a very good starter. Great beer selection and team servers make this place one of our favorites when visiting NCSU.

Food was really good. But they forgot to put us in the computer when we came in so they skipped us for a table a few times and ended up waiting 45 mins. Other than that service was good

The place was packed but the seat at the bar was good and so was the beer. The food was delicious especially the fried chicken!

I have been waiting to go to this place for years, and finally got the opportunity to go this past weekend. Lets say it will be my last!! I ordered brisket and my friend had the ribs and I tell you one thing, they definitely were not cooked on a pit... The brisket looked like a medium well steak and the ribs looked like they were boiled. NOOO flavor whatsoever. The items I enjoyed were the biscuts(I could have sworn my granny came back and cooked them herself) and my green beans were good. No smoke flavor at all. Service was... read more
