    The pit was a very good time. A menu packed with so many things that sound good it was hard to…read morechoose. We started with the Pit Sampler recommended by our waiter. 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

    The atmosphere that greeted us was welcoming and the seating comfortable. The restrooms were clean…read morebut located down a narrow hall very close to the busy kitchen which can be challenging for disabled patrons. Our server, David C., was personable, attentive and professional. He more than met our expectations. One of the things I was looking forward to while visiting Raleigh was experiencing North Carolina pulled pork in its place of origin. I was NOT disappointed. Fantastic flavor! I opted to used the Eastern NC sauce and WOW! I had to buy a bottle. I had the Brunswick Stew and it was loaded with savory deliciousness. We ordered a skillet of seasonal cornbread which, during our visit, was "honey" flavor. It wasn't what we expected and seemed to be overcooked. The staff graciously took it back and removed it from our bill without fuss. A basket of hush puppies and biscuits were complimentary. My only suggestion is that they offer regular cornbread year round. There isn't anything better with the stew than some good old cornbread. Now for my favorite part, dessert. Aunt Hattie's Double Chocolate Cake was absolutely the BEST chocolate cake I have ever eaten. Believe me when I tell you I have eaten my fair share of chocolate cakes in my lifetime. I would be a frequent customer if we lived closer!!!

    I was the coordinator for our company holiday party that was held at the Tribeca Tavern yesterday…read more12.04.25 evening. We had 50+ in attendance and EVERYONE loved the food, drinks, staff and venue. I cannot say enough good things about this venue. Serena worked with me to scheduled everything, choose the foods, and the qtys to serve. Serena was amazing to work with and was able to answer any questions that I had without hesitation. The wait staff was awesome and so very attentive to all of our guest's needs. They served drinks and handled all other requests quickly and they were all so nice. Chris the owner even called me after the event to ask how everything went and to see if there was absolutely anything that they could have done better. The food was AMAZING, and once a tray of food ran out there was a server there immediately to replace it with a new tray. The mushrooms, deviled eggs, meatballs, chicken tenders, wings, sliders, and more were all so good and very flavorful. There were always plates and silverware available for guests, as well as silverware on every table. I can assure you that I can fully testify to all of these things because as the coordinator of this event I always make sure to stay aware of any issues that may arise and where I was seated, I was in view of the buffet tables to make sure that they were continuously stocked. Our employees have used Tribeca Tavern many times in the past for business dinners and everyone always speaks highly of the service and the food. We will certainly continue to use Tribeca Tavern for future events, and I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking to host an event, going out to dinner or just looking for somewhere to have a drink.

    Very soggy and greasy french fries and sweet potato fries. It seems the oil where they cook them is…read morenot hot enough, so the potatoes end u- absorbing a LOT of oil while cooking. To make matters worst, they put powder garlic on them! The hamburgers were greasy in a generic small bun; nothing special about them. I ordered a Guinness beer, and it was served it in a generic (non Guinness branded) glass. We will not be coming back to this place!
