Our waiter was very knowledgeable and personable! Large food portions and the food was delicious! I would definitely eat there again.

Moved from Texas so know brisket. Pit was good, a little fattier than I like. Really like lean. Moist and good flavor. Good sides. The pulled pork was shaved, like thick cut. Service was good.
Robb
The food and service were absolutely fantastic. The stuffed potato skins were just incredible. The chicken sandwich on brioche were moist and tender. The carrot cake alone was worth stopping in. Billy our server was friendly and attentive. He did a great job. The managers working were incredibly friendly. My wife and I really enjoyed ourselves.

The service was disappointing , refills were not happening and plates were just pilling up on our table. The food was good but not great. It was also closer to the end of the evening and it felt rushed as they cleaned around us.

Consistently great food and service! Been coming well over ten years. Born and raised in Eastern NC, and this is an excellent representation of the style of cooking. Don't remember our server's name but she was the best! I got the burnt end of some of the pulled pork this time. Didn't care for it, but it also wasn't worth sending back either. Everything else was excellent, as usual. My take on why i gave 4 stars for ambience and value: Ambience--nothing wrong with it at all, it's just not 5 star. I like a tad more privacy and a little less noise. Value--Relatively speaking, for a nice Raleigh dining experience, this is a good value. But to get a 5 star value, you have to go further east to some of the little diners and holes in the wall where you can get just as good or better food for half the price. Overall--this is still one of the best eats in Raleigh! And the collards are still some of the best ever.

I have been to the pit before - The food seems have changed - I know if they changed meat suppliers or chefs , but the food tasted different- The ribs were good , not dry , but they were bland The 1/2 bbq chicken tasted fine- We ordered 2 orders of brisket , one came out nice - the other looked like it was the bottom of the barrel- A little disappointing—

The place was empty. The food arrived cold. Disappointing. Not like it used to be. What happened?

Every aspect was terrific. Lilly handled our table perfectly, with great service. Get the cornbread skillet for your table, OMG!
Ordered the pulled pork fries. You could tell the pulled pork was cooked yesterday and microwaved for my order. The pulled pork was soooo greasy I couldn't eat it.
David
The Chopped BBQ sandwiches made for a great lunch and we had the Pit Sampler plate as an appetizer. The Combo of Ribs and Brisket was also fabulous! Great food experience. Excellent service too!
Lisa
Took over 30 minutes to get our dinners. They were not busy at all, and we ordered straight from the menu, no special requests. Could hear servers in the kitchen yelling about salads. The burnt ends were not burnt ends at all. They were long strips of meat, super fatty Was our first visit, and won't be going back.

The food was amazing. The carrot cake was the best I've ever had. Pit barbecue is top Chef food.

The service was not the best and we were sat in front of a vent where the air was blowing so much that our food was cold before we could even completed it. Was not an enjoyable for a Mother's Day lunch. Food was not as good as the restaurant use to be.
