About Backyard BBQ Pit

Backyard BBQ Pit is a restaurant that offers a taste of down-home coastal NC cooking, reminiscent of grandma's cooking. The BBQ sauce is a highlight, and the food has received high praise from visitors, with one describing it as "amazing" and "super yummy." The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is welcoming, making it a great spot for family meals or casual gatherings. The restaurant has recently been renovated and even added a bar, enhancing the dining experience. Guests often enjoy dishes like the BBQ plate with mac and cheese, cabbage, hush puppies, and the famous lemonade. The place is popular, and some dishes may occasionally be sold out, so patience is appreciated. Many visitors say the mac and cheese and potato salad are legendary, and the fries and yams are also very good. The meat options are all solid, and there are some decent vegetarian sides like yams, greens, rice, fries, and okra. The vibe is more takeout, but the inside is now all new with painted walls hiding the signatures from previous visits. Overall, Backyard BBQ Pit continues to be a Durham favorite, loved for its delicious food and friendly service.

They’ll bail last minute on DoorDash.

Tastes great, service was quick.

They should change the name to THE FLY PIT! Service was horrible, the staff was very rude and flies were everywhere!
