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.

Ate there with my wife and grandson. The ribs were awesome so we're the chicken wings, the fried chicken was juicy and tasty and the Brisket was so juicy and tender everything had just the right amount of smoke. We started with the fried pimento cheese and they were delicious.

We split a plate of ribs, fried chicken, pulled pork, brisket, collars greens and fried okra. About $29.00, plenty of leftovers for two the next day. Staff was friendly, decent craft beer selection. Food came out super fast and ''twas tastee.
