Fantastic bbq location with a great menu. I had the Carolina ribs and they were delicious. The appetizer sampler platter was very filling l, probably too much so. Good beer selection also.

Michael Goffin

Still working out some kinks being new, but the food was amazing. Great beer and bourbon list . Outside Brown and Succulent Shoulder were wonderful. Also had the cream corn (delicious).

Tiffany

Amazing. Craft beer selection is fantastic. Try the short rib and don't miss the wings or the banana pudding . Will be back!

So glad the pit expanded to Durham. Delicious BBQ in an upscale atmosphere! Sit on the rooftop when it's warm for a perfect view of Downtown Durham!

Ladereck was super attentive and personable. He offered helpful suggestions as well as a truthful historical background of the restaurant and durham. He turned our opinion around. Thanks!!

If you want delicious down home food southern style this is definitely a must. It has a great atmosphere too which is a plus.

Can't rave about this more than I do. BBQ tofu is the best I've had in my life and I recommend it to all my vegetarian fiends.

Get the Big Boy meat plate and 2 additional sides. It's large enough for 3 people to share.

Paul Murphy

Definitely try the chicken wings ! Nice and smokey and crispy !

Zac Workun

Get the sweet potato cornbread immediately! Also eat all the Mac and Cheese you can.

B Peez

This place is definitely overrated! Average BBQ if that. Wings ok, BBQ chicken dry as an desert . Mac & Cheese don't believe the hype. The best thing they have going on is the atmosphere and drinks!!!

David Minton

The chicken wings were amazing! Crispy with a great smoky flavor .

It was a nice place. Tough opening night......food wasn't exactly right. Give them a little more time & I believe they'll get it together.

Their best BBQ offering is probably the beef brisket . Solid overall - nothing spectacular.
