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!”

“Great service and really tasty authentic Indian food. I would highly recommend eating here.”

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

“Good amount of cheese, crispy crust and dough, a little light on the sauce but good flavor and good amount of oregano. A little less salt and more garlic powder in the dough but not too much and your pizza will be 100 percent New York style. I’m glad I tried it out, I was hesitant since there is a gas station next to it but don’t be fooled this is a good place.”

“great food great atmosphere and great management I love the customer service definitely we'll go back again”

“Excellent cocktails and friendly staff.”

“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 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!”

“A big shout out to April!! She was so awesome and very sweet. The food was very good. The stuffed mushrooms were so good, and you cannot go wrong with the blooming onion, it paired well with my sweet potato. The steaks were very flavorful and yummy. We will definitely be back.”

“Variety of foods in one location.”

“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.”

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

“Great food, great service!”

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

“Always great coffee, we love it here.”

“My husband and I tried Roman style pizza here, for the first time and we loved it! Fresher and lighter than NY style pizza (although we still love NY style), very satisfying because of the taste and quality of the ingredients in the Parma and Burrata pizzas that we ordered! Claudio who is from Rome made the experience even better as he prepared our order and explained about the special dough which is the perfect base for the gourmet toppings! We will be return customers!”

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

“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!”

“Fantastically delicious food! We will definitely be coming back even if it means commuting over an hour! It was well worth it. My husband who is Irish descent loved it too.”

“The absolute best cheesecake ever! You must try it😊”

“Amazing rolled iced cream”

“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.”

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

“Mr. A’s Beignets: A Powdered Sugar Revelation Mr. A’s beignets are so good, I had to sit down and reevaluate some life choices. Light, fluffy, perfectly fried, and drowning in powdered sugar—just like the ones in New Orleans… but honestly? Better. Yeah, I said it. One bite and I was spiritually transported to the French Quarter—minus the street smells and saxophones. These beignets are dangerously good. Like, “accidentally eat the whole box before pulling out of the parking lot” good. They’re golden perfection with a powdered sugar blizzard on top. Soft in the middle, crisp on the edges, and clearly made with love (and possibly sorcery). Highly recommend. Bring napkins. And self-control.”

“I went to Papa MURPHY’S on Saturday and ordered a pepperoni, sausage onion,green pepper and tomatoes pizza on thin crust. The guy working was super nice and explained everything since I hadn’t been back in years. I cooked it on the middle rack instead of the bottom like he mentioned, with the oven safe paper. It was delicious and will plan to be back again.”

“They have some good ice creams on the menu”

“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!”

“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!”

“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.”

“The food and drinks are always so good! My usual drink is either the black sesame latte or any of their teas. I highly suggest getting the black sesame latte, though. It’s very good”

“I ordered this last night at work due to DoorDash having a $0 delivery free. I rate this place a 12/10 and I am now bringing my husband there today to try this amazing food. You guys are legit authentic. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“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.”

“Whoever was working at the Apex location today btwn 3-4 did an AMAZING job. The line was out the door the entire time with screaming middle school pre-teens and he was calm, quick and efficient. He was alone behind the counter taking/making orders, ringing everyone up, everything by himself until around 4 (the gentleman who came in also was doing a great job but we left shortly after 4). Stellar service under pressure, very impressive! Please make sure they know they are appreciated!”

“A few months ago, my daughter was excited to say hello to ‘the orange man’, as she does every morning before school. She tripped and scraped her knee pretty good. We ran inside where we met the sweetest girl, Kayla. She gave us bandaids, paper towels, and even a lollipop for my daughter. We continue to visit Kayla, and enjoy our weekly mommy and daughter Coffee & Muffin dates at The Mocha Room. It’s the cutest coffee shop with great food, coffee, and the best staff- especially Kayla!”

“What a gem! Just had the hot Italian Beef and thought I was in Chicago! Can't wait to go back and work my way through the menu. Great food, great service and great vibe!”

“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.”

“Great wings! I personally think they are the best in Holly Springs. Always good service and very friendly people.”

“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.”

“Just thought you might enjoy this photo from the Apex location”

“Great place to find excellent craft beers at reasonable prices. Dog friendly and very cool crowd.”

“We have always enjoyed our lunches here, great food and service ( best Brussels anywhere!!) We visited for Sunday football recently and it was perfect ! Great football vibe! Raffles! And of course superb food/ drinks and service. We plan to make it our new Sunday home!!”

“As a taco snob, I approve of these tacos!!! From the fresh tortillas, to the great salsas and guacamole. Hire this team and cater a great party!”

“Great spot for the students and their families! We really enjoy eating here, there’s always lively music and the service is pretty speedy! Best tacos I’ve had!”

“We stopped here for the first time this morning for a quick breakfast. My husband and I ordered and were pleasantly surprised. The diner has a great retro look and a very large menu. Our service was perfection. Our waitress was delightful and very informative about the diner. We had a delicious breakfast for under 40. Very affordable and the food is great quality.”

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

“Amy is the best!! She did custom decorated sugar cookies!!! She exceeded my expectations! The cookies were beautiful!!!”

“I've tried multiple blends of Peak City Coffe and they're all really good. my favorite is the House Blend! Give it a try.”

“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.”

“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!”

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

“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.”

“Great food and very clean”

“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!!!”

“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!”

“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.”

“Best pizzeria on the planet and definitely in Wake County!!! Good people and Good food…please stop by today”

“We are from Texas and drive 30 minutes just to get a piece of home. This place never disappoints”

“Best taco truck in the triangle IMO. I personally get a taco place with 2 tripa, 2 lengua. They include all toppings, and rice and beans. Agua Frescas are good and flavors rotate.”

“Ordered Dum Biryani and Wedding Style Biryani. Both were very tasty and flavorful. Wedding Style was spicy and my son loved it and Dum was not spicy and I loved it. Will order more.”

“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.

“The food was very good, combine that with friendly service and it’s a winner. Thanks for coming to Holly Springs, hope to see you again.”

“After Chinese #1 closed in Cary, I had to find a new spot for Chinese food.

Overall, the staff are incredibly nice, the place is clean and the food was just meh. Believe it or not, the soup was the clear winner. Giant wontons in the soup, broth was great too. Had both egg drop and wonton soups. 5/5.

As someone that comes from the Northeast, it’s wild to me that every take out Chinese restaurant in Raleigh does bright yellow fried rice as if I was eating Cuban food… pork fried rice was 2/5.

The Sesame Chicken was all white meat. Great portion. Sauce was a bit tangy, but not bad. 4/5.

Overall, not bad by any means. If you need some Chinese take out, it’s one of the better options in town.”

“I’m a satisfied Texan!! Every experience is a true reminder of the hometown food that I grew up on and enjoyed!! Very authentic ingredients and flavors made fresh daily!! Thanks for the great service & I’m looking forward to seeing y’all again soon!”

“Fantastic authentic Mexican cuisine. Friendly staff. If you haven’t tried it do yourself a favor and check it out!”

“La sopa de res es fabulosa”

“This past week, I had my first try of the cronuts from Paris Delight Apex. Hands down these were the most amazing things I have tried in a awhile. I tried the Irish cream cronut which was for me, the perfect amount of sweetness . My sister in-law got the Apple Carmel one which was a slice of heaven ❤️❤️. Oh, and don't forget their croissants 🥰 .. I felt like I was back in Europe.. I hope to see them one day cruising through the Wake Forest area..”

“Los tacos están deliciosos con tortilla hecha a mano . Súper delicioso.”

“These are freshly made corn tortilla tacos! Super soft shell wrapping the crispy and moist chicken tacos. Every time I find real handmade tortilla taco, it’s usually a win!

A gem in Apex, NC if you like street tacos!”

“Specials were listed at front window. I tried the enchilada suizas-really tasty. The staff were welcoming and pleasant. The food was all very good and the drinks were refilled without direction. My waiter was great. The robot was fun and the service was speedy.”

“Okay, I was skeptical about this place initially because I thought it was closed but I called the number and they were open. The lomo saltado was elite. Has that real home cooked vibe and honestly felt like I was eating at my tia’s house in lima. The arroz chaufa was banging too. I thought the huancaina sauce was a little thin but that just might be my preference! Would 10/10 recommend food was banging and broke up the food of my Raleigh trip really nicely.”

“Absolutely phenomenal food and service! (I’m OBSESSED with the Chili-fried diced chicken.)”

“Amazing Food! Great Service! Friendly Staff! Lovely Atmosphere! Great tasting, authentic Mexican food with so much flavour! The best Mexican food I have ever had and I will be back before I go home.”

“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 🤤”

“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!!”

“We ordered take out today from New China Chef, Apex. The items that we ordered were egg drop soup, teriyaki chicken, shrimp with mixed vegetables and chicken with cashew nuts. All the items were very tasty!! I would highly recommend this restaurant.”

“Michelangelo's is probably one of the best pizza places in the area! Always consistent in quality and flavor. The staff is so nice and it's always such a pleasant experience getting pizza here. Highly recommend!”

“If you’re craving authentic Indian flavors, this food truck is a must-visit! The food is delicious with great quality and taste. I Highly recommended for anyone looking for a flavorful Indian culinary experience!”

“Solid Chinese joint. You're going to want to take this home. It's not really all that appealing for eat-in.

All four dishes that we got here were great. I wish the egg rolls were a bit bigger but they were tasty as well

Pricing was normal. And the guy at the counter was nice enough but don't be looking to start up too many conversations with him.

I thought the sesame chicken and the garlic chicken were both really good. The pork lo mein was a really healthy amount of shredded pork in it. Can't remember the last time I was impressed with pork lo mein.”

“La mejor comida que e probado sin grasa todo fresco 😍 la mejor comida super recomendado”

“New food truck in this area (Aug 2024). We had veggie burritos and they were great!

The only complaint would be that sometimes the burrito isn't closed properly and a lot of stuff starts spilling quickly.”

“The tacos are good, but a bit small - I usually get 2 tacos when I go to other trucks, but here I get 3.

Definitely try the birria, tho - it's delicious! And come back for more - I know I will be!”

“My family loves this place. The staff are always happy and helpful. The food is fantastic. This is a true local gem and family owned. The owner and his entire family work here. I have been eating here for over a decade. The food is consistently good and the service is wonderful. Be sure to try the made in house hot sauces, you have to ask for them, but they are complimentary.”

“Typical decor for Chinese take out! Been going here for years, but now live in HS. Last week my sister visiting from NY (yes, the real NY, not 5,000 miles from Manhattan) shopping in APEX we picked up food to go. Gosh, inforfit how good everything was! My sister is a big entertainer an awesome cook! She said this was the best Chinese take out she's ever had. Love the lady in the front!”

“great food, authentic and delicious! we order lunch often from @apex retreat and i love to order dinner there as well. 💗”

“Excellent service. Yummy food”

“One of my daughters favorite spots in the area! Its 100% better than competition (Chi----le). Fresh ingredients and more to choose from. The prices are very reasonable.”

“I had the pleasure of stoping here for lunch today. I love Indian food and the chicken biryani was delicious. Huge portions and priced very well. Will definitely be back to try more amazing dishes they offer.”

“The team at this location has done a fantastic job of creating a core Starbucks family. Regulars greet each other like friends and the baristas know everyone's favorite drink.”

“Great group of folks at this location! I have a very specific order I always place and they absolutely nail it every time. Buffalo Cheesesteak with extra buffalo sauce and heavy ranch....MAKE IT SLOPPY! And man....they kill it EVERY time. Love these guys! - This may be too sloppy for some...but it's perfect!”

“Great subs . Very clean inside. Plenty of people eating there.”

“We live nearby and this is a quick Indian food pickup place. We ordered some chicken biryani and samosas. Food wasn’t exceptionally great, but it was better than other fast food Indian places nearby. (Specially Suvidha - cuz their biryani was definitely a week old and stinky)”

“Great service. Customer service is amazing. The Associates are very polite. I am very happy that this Cold Stone is in my neighborhood. I would go there if I could every day, but that is not on that American health diet plan.”

“What a delight and super beautiful place! Tastefully designed and matched accessories perfectly. Then, a taste of the goodness! I love the house baked cinnamon rolls and cheesecake. The owner of the store and his daughter (manager of the location) are so personable and take pride in their work, experience, and product. Can’t wait to go back when I’m in the area but I’m not allowed to go without my daughter and son in law. They’re always so excited to see what is in the bag when we go visit them! Thank you!”

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

“Comida deliciosa y ambiente familiar”

“We had a great experience at Waffle House. Our order was cooked perfectly the staff was super friendly . One of the best breakfasts I’ve had in a long while.”

“Bringing the tropics to Apex! Best Smoothie in town!! Courteous people who I can tell love their Apex! Service is impeccable!!”

“The employees are great. They recognize me when I walk in the door. Thanks guys”

“Delicious and friendly. Highly recommended”

“I usually love your pizza, but when the cook pays more attention to his cell phone than the oven, bad things happen. Pizza tonight was burnt.”

“Stop at the drive thru . Was very nice to talk to a human waiting to take my order. Courteous and professional. The woman at the drive-through window was very nice and courteous and took care of all my needs. Thank you.”

“The staff is top notch. Always ready when you are to serve you.”

“I rarely post reviews, but I felt I needed to after witnessing a recent interaction between a customer and the manager, Anam. The customer was essentially asking for double portions of everything without wanting to pay for it, claiming the bowl should be enough to feed two people. Anam handled the situation with professionalism and respect, despite the customer’s rude tone and demeanor.

In my experience, the portions at Mezeh are always generous — some people just expect double servings without paying for them. Like every business nowadays, Mezeh has to be cost-conscious, especially with rising food and ingredient prices. In my opinion, Mezeh consistently delivers fresh, high-quality meals that are both filling and flavorful. The staff are incredibly friendly, and the value is excellent. I’d truly hate to see this location close — they’re doing a fantastic job.”

“If you’re from Chicago - yes, this is the Rosati’s you know and love. If you’re not from Chicago, try the pizza, their thin crust is *chefs kiss*. I have no doubt that their deep dish is equally as wonderful. We will definitely return.”

“Great food and atmosphere. Three of us in the party, and we all enjoyed our meals. Outdoor patio was nice and clean. Server attentive and order was on point.”

“They just opened a truck in Wilmington and we tried it for the first time today!! I got "The Aloha" smoothie and my husband got "The Island Bowl". THEY ARE SO GOOD! Such a refreshing healthy snack. Definitely recommend!!!😁😁”

“Love it The pizza in town Fresh made dough”

“I enjoyed both the chicken Alfredo and the Greek Pizza crust was great !”

“Very friendly people working. Everyone had a smile to share.”

“Stopped by Starbucks today and treated myself to an Iced Caramel Macchiato and a Cold Brew with Pumpkin Spice Cream—because pumpkin spice season is finally here! The drive-thru was quick, the drinks were perfect, and I even grabbed a Puppuccino for my fur baby who loves Starbucks just as much as I do :)”

“They are all around good. Food and service 💜”

“I always get fantastic service at this location. Recently, I asked for extra seasoning on the fries, and they gave me an extra packet wrapped up of seasoning so I can season it to my liking. Genuinely stellar service!”

“Love it here, but new owners got rid of their perks! I used to come all the time when they gave coupons, earn free drinks.. Now I more often go to their competitors”
