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 for lunch on Dec. 30. Staff was super attentive, service was a little slow but it was a Friday Lunch service. Portions were quite large (but I did manage to eat it all). Food was tasty, and hot. Banana Pudding was amazing. We will be back!

Excellent Carolina style BBQ and fried chicken! The chopped pork, fried chicken and baby back ribs were amazing! Our server was friendly and professional. Don't miss the banana pudding and bourbon ice cream for desert.
