The Pit Authentic Barbecue

We came here for dinner and had an excellent meal. The service was quick and attentive, and the interior was well decorated. We ordered the chopped BBQ, pulled pork, baby back ribs, Carolina style ribs, and beef brisket. We also got many sides, including the brussels sprouts, mashed potatoes and gravy, sweet potato casserole, cole slaw, mac and cheese, sweet potato fries, creamed corn, and fried okra. The complementary biscuits and hush puppies were also delicious. The mac and cheese was mediocre, but everything else was great. In particular, the mashed potatoes and gravy and the brussels sprouts were delicious. All the meats were also great. We would definitely come back again if we’re back in Raleigh!

I love The Pit. My family and I came last night. Our server was amazing and the Christmas decorations were absolutely beautiful. Now my only concern was the BBQ. The BBQ was good, but I’m a huge fan of eastern NC vinegar based BBQ. I had to put the sauce from the Brussels sprouts on the BBQ to get that taste. Other than that 10/10

4 of us ate at the pit on a Tuesday, November 28, 2023 around 5:30. They were not crowded. We got seated quickly & served quickly. I had already eaten a lot of my food b4 taking this pic! 😆 Ty is a great server, he waited our table in the past.🤗 My food was not piping hot but we were glad to be served fast because we had a concert to go to.

If you like BBQ, this is the place not to be missed in Raleigh Durham area. Cozy with great ambiance to spend time with friends and families. We went for brunch on a weekend. Wasn't crowded at all. We had reservations though. All the food was cooked to perfection and came out promptly. Biscuits, corn bread, okra fried, potatoes and gravy, Mac n cheese all sides and appetizer hush puppies, chicken wings, deviled eggs were delicious. Sweet patotor fries were too sweet for our taste. Main courses were as you'd expect at a popular BBQ joint. Great hospitable staff.

We recently visited for dinner on a Friday and shared a Pit Sampler and a Fried Green Tomatoes. I also enjoyed a Halifax County-Style Fried Catfish alongside an amber ale. While the food was good, the beer took forever to be served and was brought to our table only upon checking, which was a put off. On the upside, they served complimentary biscuits and hushpuppies which were really good. The restaurant was also relatively empty for a Friday night so if you don't like crowds, this may be the place to go.

Absolutely a fantastic BBQ restaurant! Friendly staff and very tasty food. Lot of place to sit inside and a couple of tables outside. The waitress was very friendly and explained a lot about the BBQ and how it is an ongoing process to make sure there is food on the table in the evening. We were even allowed to make pictures of the BBQ in the kitchen. They also have a good selection of locally brewed beers. I recommend the Tabacco Wood The Ensign Stout and the Lynwood Brewery Mosaic Pale Ale. I will definitely get back to this place when I’m in Raleigh.

Great food! Great service. The hostess was the sweetest thing ever. I was visiting town and she gave me recommendations on places to go next. I went during the day for lunch so the atmosphere was really nice. The food is really good my favorite thing was the sides!! I’ll be back because I want to try more.

The food was delicious and the service was great. We shared fried green tomatoes, 2 meat chicken and brisket, baked beans, mac n cheese, carrot cake (which is awsomeness), and coffee. The only frown dropping 5 stars to 4 was the absolutely ridiculously small chicken quarter we've ever seen (smaller than an off the shelf rotisserie chicken) and should have never been served (wish I had taken a picture)!

Authentic Barbeque indeed! Although I had only some starters and sides, it was great to look at the well- presented meats at other tables. The complimentary biscuits and hush puppies were a nice touch. The fried green tomatoes were tangy, crispy okra was satisfying, and the creamed corn tasty. The staff was accommodating with the table, and the service was swift and friendly. Street parking nearby.
