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.
Love this place, really do. Very consistent with their bbq chop. The fried chicken I had was outstanding, must order! Only issue tonight was the brisket, a lot of fat, could have used a better trimming. My guest had the same issue with their order.
Our server was amazing. Thanks for a great night. Will definitely be back for that chop!
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!
Coming back to Raleigh after three years, I was excited to try this place again. We had the featured Chili soup, Pulled Pork with mashed potatoes and okra, and Fried chicken. The soup was amazing - the best I’ve had in a while. The pork was also yum. The chicken though was dry and you could tell that it was made at-least a few hours earlier.
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.
I loved my dinner at The Pit. The hush puppies that they bring out were amazing - they are small and perfectly crispy on the outside without being dried out, and they are just a bit sweet. The dinner I ordered was all very good as well. I ordered the chopped turkey, fried chicken, Brussels sprouts, and baked beans. The turkey was nicely seasoned and cooked with a bit of heat from the sauce. The fried chicken was tender and juicy on the inside with a good crunch from the breading on the outside. Both sides were tasty and had a little zip from the vinegar-based sauce. The service was friendly and attentive and the restaurant was clean and well-decorated. Great spot for barbecue!
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.
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.
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.
Food was delicious! Green beans were well seasoned, boneless fried chicken breasts were moist and flavorful, deviled eggs with relish was a great starter. Had banana pudding for dessert, amazing! Our server was attentive and gave great customer service!
