If you're here, you love barbecue—maybe even as much as we do (which would be quite an accomplishment). Lucky for you, we're Raleigh's source for the tastiest pork this side of the Smoky Mountains.

Many great North Carolina barbecue restaurateurs have gone before us. We like to give special recognition to the people who have contributed to the tradition!
All hail the pit masters! »
With a history that predates the earliest European settlers, barbecue is a vital part of the Tar Heel State's culture and identity.
Gone to a barbecue. Back in three days »
North Carolina is known for its legendary barbecue joints. We proudly continue this tradition by serving authentic whole-hog, pit-cooked barbecue at The Pit in downtown Raleigh's warehouse district.
**The Pit will be closing at 4 p.m. on Sunday, February 3 2019 for a staff event.**
