Restaurants in Apex

“Hidden Gem in the heart of the unexpected. Akami is not where you'd expect to find it. Nestled amidst a convenience store, this unassuming restaurant serves up some of the most extraordinary sushi I've ever tasted! The sushi itself is a masterpiece. The fish is incredibly fresh, the rice is perfectly cooked, and the flavors are simply divine. If you're looking for a truly unique dining experience, I highly recommend checking this place out!”

“Food was amazing. Friendly!”

“Great sushi. One of the best in the area. Wish their lunch hours extended a bit longer.”

“Osteria G is a GEM!! Their food is a work of art which shows in their presentation but even more in every bite. From the homemade butter flavors that change daily to the appetizers and entrees, the combination of flavors will challenge even the most experienced tastebuds. My mouth is still watering over our dinner, and the dessert was an equal match. Their revolving menu makes me excited to come back over and over! The low lit ambiance has been the perfect date night and girls night out, and their staff is as quality as they come!”

“We ended up here randomly one evening before heading to a concert...we were in a bit of a hurry. Naan House Indian Bistro was a welcome surprise. The food was excellent! The service team was kind, energetic, and informative (helped me choose a great dish), and the environment was beautiful. Anytime we're in the area, we know where we'll be eating! Highly recommend especially if you like a little heat (or maybe a lot of heat)!”

“Great food and wonderful server”

“Had a great dinner, food was really good. Despite living close by for 10 years I’d never been here and I’m glad we went. Waiter was awesome with the kiddos, great family night out!”

“Best IPA 🍺 selection around on their shelves. Friendly and knowledgeable servers. Tasty rotating tap list.”

“We've come here a couple of times and the beer is very food, and there is a lot of variety. They had a food truck @Barone and the food was great. Nice outdoor areas. The folks are all very nice here. It's tucked away in a neighborhood.”

“Excellent cocktails and friendly staff.”

“My husband and I had dinner here a couple weeks ago for our first time. We had a great experience, from making a reservation to the desert everything was fantastic! We will definitely be back soon!”

“Peak of the Vine at Apex offers a unique cocktail and wine experience. The bar's elegant yet cozy atmosphere sets the stage for John, the skilled mixologist, to craft bespoke cocktails tailored to your tastes. There’s no menu—just a personalized drink experience that always hits the mark. Complementing the cocktails is a well-curated wine list, with staff eager to provide expert recommendations. Attentive service and a welcoming vibe make every visit memorable. For a truly customized drink experience, Peak of the Vine is a must-visit.”

“The staff here goes above and beyond. Everyone was so attentive without being overbearing, and they had great recommendations for first-timers. Our water glasses never went empty and the timing of everything felt effortless. You don’t always get that kind of service at small places—it really made the experience memorable.”

“Love Vicious Fishes, phenomenal beer, fantastic people, great place!”

“Very busy night with a hard drinking reheardinner in the back room. Man that bar tender is a pro's pro. Slamming out so many mixed drinks quickly. Staff so friendly, fun, and accommodating. We all loved our meals. Cool spot”

“The sushi offered at this establishment was exceptional. The menu is impressive, featuring images of the various dishes. I would highly recommend this venue. Moreover, the staff is exceedingly courteous.”

“If I could give Maureen Amberg a 10 Star review I would, she is the reason my very first experience dining at Longhorn Steakhouse was so wonderful. She was so keen to make sure our time here was great and went out of her way with service. We will be coming back for sure. The food was better than we expected. Thank you!”

“The music was obnoxiously loud and my dining experience was not great. The food was very average and we will not go back. We will continue to go back to our favorite Mex place on Lake Pine Dr!”

“Extensive menu, always good food and great staff!”

“You can't stop eating even if you're full. That happened to me when I had dinner there. They gave us a great service, too.”

“The food was delicious. Great service and cocktails.”

“Emilee is wonderful! And the food is delicious! We love First Watch in Apex!”

“Always great coffee, we love it here.”

“Absolutely delicious food with the friendliest staff. I love this place! Do your mind, body, and soul a favor and check them out. ❤”

“The virgin Mojito they made me tonight was the best one I’ve had at bar yet! The fresh mint and garnishes were fun too. It’s hard to make a mojito taste like a mojito without the alcohol and y’all nailed it! Perfection! This is the perfect time of year for the outdoor bands the way it has the covered dance floor such a fun night. I love how you guys redid it. It’s elevated for sure! Fun!”

“Great London Fog Lattes and waffles with exceptional service and the best atmosphere!”

“Such a cute shop! And super sweet service. Will def return! ❤️❤️❤️”

“Basing on vulnerable communities services,he delivers,he is really good leader”

“Great café with delicious coffee and food! The atmosphere is pleasant, and the service is top-notch — I really enjoy it here. If you’re looking for a spot to grab a great cup of coffee, this is the place to be.

The only downside is the strong smell coming from the kitchen, even with the high ceilings. I’m not sure why this issue hasn’t been resolved yet. We usually sit outside on the terrace, but now that it’s getting colder, it would be nice if they could fix the smell so we could comfortably sit inside.”

“Every single item my husband and I have had at Rudy’s has been not good, not great, but exceptional. The vibe is warm and friendly, the service is top tier, the prices are terrific, and the entrees are outstanding. We love Rudy’s!”

“Friendly staff and great food! The sushi, soup, and goyza were amazing. We will definitely return!”

“Amazing rolled iced cream”

“After my first bite to the last, which I couldn’t finish it all, I felt like I was at my Grannie’s dinner table again! It was absolutely amazing food; the young lady taking our order, so very nice & a smile to match. I did ask her if my Grannie was in the kitchen…lol.”

“Loved the beignets! The location in North Topsail means the drive is beautiful. That’s a bonus!!”

“Mezza Luna has become our go-to for pizza! We ditched our old downtown Cary pizza joint after trying Mezza Luna and we haven't looked back. We even ordered take-out for the Super Bowl from Mezza Luna.

The Grandma Pie is our favorite with its amazing crust, fresh sauce, and perfect amount of cheese. The other pies we've tried are also great, but we keep going back to the Grandma Pie. We pair with salads, meat balls, and calamari. We've loved everything we've ordered. Everything is fresh and pricing is also very fair.

Clean and relaxed environment. We've been there when it's been really quiet and we've also been there when it's been super busy. Either way, service has been efficient and friendly no matter the level of busyness.

You can tell it's a family-run business and they really pour themselves into Mezza Luna and their food. They even come out of the kitchen to interact and chat with customers, treating everyone like family.

If you haven't yet visited yet, do yourself a favor and give Mezza Luna a try. You'll definitely be back!

Parking: Large parking lot with plenty of spaces available.”

“Wonderful restaurant, great food and excellent service! Hunter was our server and he was warm and welcoming such a pleasure. The manager Susan was also wonderful, we had great pleasure in telling her how much we enjoyed everything! Will be back soon and highly recommend this place!”

“I have been looking for a buffalo chicken pizza as good as the one I get back home since I moved down here 7 years ago. My wife and I ordered from Romeo's for the first time last night. Romeo's buffalo chicken pizza is so good that we ordered it again for lunch today!”

“The best ice cream in Apex!”

“This place was great. We came on a Saturday for lunch and the selection was great, the customer service was awesome, the aesthetics were amazing. We had such a good time. My 5 year old said their cheeseburger was better than McDonald’s so that is really saying something. They had fun stuff for all ages but it was super hot so my kids only did the tire playground.”

“We ordered the Valentine’s heart-shaped pizza advanced, which was really nice through the app and it was delicious ready waiting for us at the time we requested so it was perfect”

“Had the Fried Catfish and I need more lol. Some of the best catfish around. Check ‘em out sometimes.”

“Great Service, Great Food and drinks”

“Hadn't tried this place despite coming to Apex frequently. Really wish I had tried them sooner. Excellent fried seafood served hot, fresh and from friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Vegetarian options: Few and far between. Not a vegan/vegetarian place.”

“They have some good ice creams on the menu”

“Our server was wonderful and the food was delicious!
We had the Brussels sprouts for an appetizer (yum!). We had a Nashville hot chicken sandwich and a “build your own” grilled chicken sandwich for entrees. The fries were super tasty too. Highly recommend!”

“I ordered the Southern Bowl and let me tell you.... it was amazing!!! It was fully packed with sausage, homestyle potatoes, eggs, grits, gravy, and so much flavor! I felt like I was eating one of my momma's great southern breakfasts. I will definitely be coming back for more tasty foods.”

“Great atmosphere! My favorite local bar!”

“We have been eating plant based for the last 8 years. We usually have Mediterranean foods once per week. This is the best place we have found in our lives. We discovered this food truck by accident and we are looking forward to continue enjoying!”

“Great good. Customer service was a bit lacking though…”

“This is an amazing coffee spot! Drinks are delicious and the staff is wonderful and amazing! We love supporting local business and veterans! Will certainly be back again and again.”

“I tried the vegan Unreal Deli Sandwich today and loved it! it was big enough for me to share with my husband who couldn't even tell it was vegan! The bread was hearty and so good. I try to eat mostly vegan for health reasons but my husband who doesn't usually like veganish things said he would eat this again!”

“ive been coming here since we moved in a decade ago and theyre always so consistent its amazing. ive always gotten the burrito bowl with
white rice, black beans, brisket, tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, guac, sour cream, cilantro and light tortilla chips on top.
10/10 meal”

“We recently stopped by for dinner and discovered they offer a dinner buffet. The staff were extremely nice and helpful. They insisted on bringing out fresh pizza and garlic knots to ensure we had fresh food on the buffet. The spaghetti, pizza, garlic knots, and salad were all very good. We will be back.”

“A down home establishment with good cooking. Not fancy. Just good eats.

Parking: Parking around their building. Approximately 30 spaces available. Space for trucks with trailers in back, but not more than two or three at a time.”

“Great service good beer selection with a clean relaxing environment 🩷”

“Nicest staff. Great food! Love this place!!!”

“Can’t get enough of these delicious ice cream, this has been my second time going and I love the ice cream options they have, even fruits in a cup which are call mangonada they are so delicious if you love mango with tajin. We had a Oreo cookies popsicle and churros and coconut ice cream with malsapan(it’s kinda taste like almond) very delicious I will really recommended it.”

“We DoorDashed Culver's. the burgers and crinkle fries were good, but the Andes mint shake was the star of the show. Wow, just Wow.”

“Juicy, tender, flavorful chicken. Best food we've had since moving to NC. Will definitely be frequenting their locations!! Prices are great too.”

“I walk here from my school during lunch. Literally the best pick-me-up and a good amount of food for the price (Im in high school, if I can afford it that's saying something)”

“I hired El Rey Del Taco Catering for my daughter’s sweet sixteen party last night and they did NOT disappoint! The food was amazing. Great service. Everything made fresh. My guests left full and with happy tummies. Will hire again in the future and would absolutely recommend!”

“Delicious food and great service even for a family of 6. The servers were very attentive. This was a great place to eat as a finish to our vacation. The wings were probably the best I’ve ever had. I got the Shearon Harris and the flavor was excellent with the right amount of heat. My wife and oldest had the regular BBQ flavor and that was also very good. The Tots with queso was amazing as well. If you’re in the area I strongly suggest trying this place out.”

“La sopa de res es fabulosa”

“Her cookies are amazing!!”

“Went for the first time on Saturday March 6. I got a beef taco and my kids got the same. I also ordered a side of rice. The food took about 8 minutes to make. We opened up our taco and it looked delicious. There was a little lime in all our taco meals. The taste was amazing! The tortilla was authentic and delicious as well! The rice was the best I ever had! We will be back to try more tasty menu items!”

“Excellent service. Yummy food”

“I just wanted to say my husband and I were in last night at the Holly springs location after the dinner rush. He had the special and I had the baked ziti bolognese which both were fantastic! The service was excellent! The waitress was wonderful!!! She was the sweetest. I wish I got her name but I do know she’s from Naples and we talked a bit. Just overall fantastic dinner, great atmosphere. Great job Mama Mia’s! 🍝❤️ cannoli was amazing 🤤”

“Decided to pop in for some lunch and I have to say this little restaurant served up some good food! It's a modest place but there is seating and it was sprinkled with traditional Chinese decorations. The dining area was clean and cozy, and they were very kind and professional when we ordered. They even brought our meals to our table. I had the Mu Shu vegetable and my friend had the Gen Tso's chicken. We got fresh hot food seasoned just right. Glad we stopped in!”

“If you have not tried Johnny’s Pizza you are missing out. Their pizza is delicious and he is one of the kindest business owners I know. Definitely gets a 10 star from me”

“I love Mission Market. Jen is a fearless leader and she’s great with the customers. I’m there all the time and she knows my name and my drink. Their americano’s are perfectly made like you’re in Italy. It’s my favorite coffee shop. It’s the right way to start my day!!”

“This is a deceptively good takeout chinese place. They have the best chinese food I've tried in the west cary/apex area. The owners are very nice and care about their customers. Their food is always good. I like their hot and sour soup especially. I love hot and sour soup and I always try it first at every chinese place I go to. Theirs have a unique smoky taste and isn't sweet like other places have (it's not supposed to sweet).”

“We tried Shrimp LoMein and Roast Pork LoMein and would both order them again. It's not a fancy place and most orders were from regular customers who were obviously returning again but we enjoyed being there and having our meal. It looks to be a family restaurant with kids getting along well together and the littlest one got her share of hugs and cuddles from her family. It was nice to see. We will be returning customers.

Be sure to try the made in house hot sauces, you have to ask for them, but they are complimentary.”

“I had a chronic urticaria last year, ever since then i have be visiting the clinic and taking different kinds of medicine but yet no improvement. Few months ago it got worse, the inching becomes unbearable, sometimes it spread all over my body and it almost affected my lungs. One faithful day, Someone saw me when I was at the supermarket here in ATL when I was shopping for some groceries, she walked up to me, we had a nice chat where she told me her experience when she had the same problem, and she was able to get rid of it permanently with herbs from dr festy, I requested for the Dr's contact and i ordered the medicine because at that point I was willing to try anything just to get rid my chronic urticaria. It affected my social life negatively, I hardly associate with people and I became depressed. So after using the herbs I was completely cured and my life is back to normal. I'll keep creating awareness about dr festy's herbal medicine by sharing my story because I know how it feels battling with chronic urticaria. Are you struggling with herpes, autism, HIV, infertility, HPV, and chronic health conditions, including diabetes, certain stages of cancer, arthritis, and anxiety disorders contact Dr Festy for proper consultations.

With plenty of options for all diets and a commitment to eco-friendly packaging, Mezeh delivers a delicious, healthy, and sustainable dining experience. Highly recommended!”

“I don’t come here often but when I did today, they didn’t have any BoRounds available and had to be cooked. I was waiting 5 min at the edge of the drive thru area and after about 10 dollars, the manager “Angelo”, came out with my food and apologized and provided me a reasonable credit for my wait. He acknowledged their delay and made sure I was pleased. This was done right in a day when most customer service is gone. Great job.”

“I had the Colorado omelette with a side of hash browns. Of course, I had to add ketchup and hit sauce to it, just like I do everywhere. I got what I expected. It was pretty good. It is IHop, so you go in with a certain expectation, lol. Our server was great!”
