    a plate of fried chicken, mashed potatoes, peas, and a drink

    Second timers and it was just as charming. From the tiny paper menu to the 4 entrees with all the trimmings, this place is adorable. I ordered the fried chicken and they did North Carolina proud. Crispy, juicy and tender. Just perfect really. My hubby and I ate a true southern supper for under $20. AWESOME! Can't wait til our next trip thru Mt. Olive! And the service? Southern hospitality all the way. A gem!

    a menu for the restaurant

    I came here for lunch today. Its a nice sit down southern style restaurant that has the look and feel of being here awhile. They only take cash or local checks, no credit or debit cards. The staff is short in talking but courteous and friendly overall. The food also came out pretty timely from ordering. They have different menus every day that the post on their Facebook page, some sort meat accompanied by two sides. Two pieces of BBQ chicken with portions of string beans, apples and banana pudding would run you $8. I wish the portion was bigger and I hesitate to give it 5 stars as a result, but would give the place a solid 4.5. Facebook Page- www.facebook.com/Ritas-Place-362844990579551/

    Food was excellent. Southern all the way. Couldn't ask for better unless my grandmother had made it herself.

Dinner was served family style, each course timed perfectly. We ate thru NC BBQ, chicken, deviled eggs, fried green tomatoes, hush puppies, brisket, greens, mac & cheese, carrot cake and double chocolate cake. Our server Billy was fantastic and nothing fazed him. Special orders, drinks, the entire evening he made look easy (and we know how hard he worked). The Pit enabled a wonderful evening - thanks to all the crew at The Pit that made it special.

The sampler has wings, pimento cheese balls, soul rolls and southern style deviled eggs. The wings had a good flavor to them very traditional bbq style taste, the cheese balls were right up my alley crunchy outside and gooey on the inside. My first time trying deviled eggs I can say they were actually pleasant. The soul roll had this good taste with a subtle head to it just to spice it up. Overall really enjoyable apps. With so many options to choose from we all ended up getting the Double combo. I had Brisket and bbq chicken with Mac n cheese, brussel sprouts and. Sweet potatoe casserole. The chicken was the only piece lacking in comparison to the others. The brisket was very solid, very good enough to order again. The sides however were amazing. The Mac and cheese had such a good taste to it, the brussel sprouts had a blend with bacon bits and something glazed on them that was perfect and the sweet potatoes was another great side addition to the rest. Service was great our waiter gave us suggestions and was very patient with us and even gave us some small servings on the house. Very great time in a place you should visit
