25 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Apex

“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.“

“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.“

“Our dining experience at Longhorn was a very satisfying one! We arrived as a large party (25), following a late evening religious observance/celebration. Management accommodated us graciously, and our server Maureen was an absolute gem. She was patient and courteous while taking orders and caring to our questions and requests. This truly added to a wonderful evening!! Thank you for your service and hospitality!!“

“I first tried Dampf BBQ many years ago when they were still out at the fairgrounds, and I can honestly say it has remained the best and most consistent barbecue I’ve had both in this state and across the country. I’ve traveled extensively during my military career, which has given me the chance to try some truly great barbecue spots nationwide. Even with all that experience, Dampf BBQ is still my number one. The meat is always incredibly tender, packed with flavor, and cooked with the kind of care you can taste in every bite. Beyond the food, the people here make the experience even better. This is a dedicated, family-owned, local business that clearly takes pride in what they do. I’ve seen comments about wait times and pricing, but in my opinion, anything truly good is worth waiting for, and anything made with real quality is worth paying for. I drive an hour just to get this barbecue, and I’ve never once been disappointed. It’s consistently excellent, every single time. If you’re on the fence… don’t be. It’s 100% worth the trip. Give it a shot.“

“Best barbecue we have ever had ! We will definitely be returning to here again. Everything was so tasty and flavorful ! The barbecue chicken was fall off the bone , the okra was fried to perfection, the potato salad was delicious too and the pulled pork was awesome with their house made sauces!Our waitress was soo nice too, was so welcoming and we really appreciated it because our family has been going through a tough time. It warmed all of our hearts and bellies. Thank you for the great barbecue experience!“

“Our first time here and we will definitely be back! Our server was awesome and everything tasted great, especially the custard buns. And you get a lil ice cream cup on the way out :) We wanted to try to strawberry soju but they were out so we opted for peach instead and it was great too!“

“Miss MO is a perfect person to have in the Carey store. She is the most friendly and helpful person that I have ever experienced in a restaurant. I come from Oregon 1 to 2 times a year and will definitely return to see and experience Miss Mo!“

“A1 service. Terrific food. I had eastern chopped BBQ & Brunswick stew. I recommend this restaurant.“

“The grilled skewers are packed with flavor, perfectly seasoned, and truly capture the authentic “jianghu” street-food style. The hotpot broth is rich and comforting, making this the perfect spot whether you’re craving BBQ, hotpot, or both.

There’s a great variety of options—beef, lamb, chicken, seafood, and plenty of tasty small dishes. Portions are generous and everything tastes fresh. The staff are friendly, attentive, and the service is quick. The restaurant is clean, bright, and ideal for family dinners, gatherings with friends, or anyone wanting a fun dining experience.

Prices run around $30–50, and considering the quality and variety, it’s definitely worth it.
Highly recommend this place if you enjoy flavorful skewers and a satisfying hotpot meal!“

“I wish you had a location closer to us. Great food and friendly people.“

“Seol Grille is our absolute favorite place to eat! We go a handful of times a year and always leave full and happy. The food is so good and we always have an excellent experience! The servers always make sure my family and I are taken care of. We will be back again and again. We love Soul Grille!❤️“

“Family & Friends it’s so good“

“The customer service is pretty good! The food could improve. Every time I have been here, they are missing something from the menu. Also, most of the briskets that I have eaten here are more fat than meat.

Hush puppies are great, and the pulled pork is great!!“

“I had the beef soup. It was so flavorful! The sides were amazing. Second time I’m here snd will be back for more“

“Had an amazing real good food just like at my friends house :) brings me back. Market I loved got more than I wanted :)“

“Loved the service!!! First time trying with the family and the patience and kindness the manager had made it felt very welcoming. We didn’t know the menu but they helped and didn’t make us feel pressured to order or stressed. The environment felt very nice and calm, someone you can sit and really enjoy your food. Food was worth the money too and was very filling. 100% coming back for more. I loved it!!!!“

“This place is located at 6014 Duraleigh Rd Raleigh PA 10111. We didn't mean to come across this market but we did lol. Glade it happened that way. For the longest my partner and I watch individuals eat these dogs on YouTube. As we watched we wanted to taste and finally had that chance to do so. Let me tell you it was amazing!!!! The cheese pull was pulling and the flavor was busing for sure. Highly recommend anyone to go to this restaurant and market place definitely worth it plus food made to order too. Total price was $13.50 with tax $14.48.“

“It feels the same as when it was called Golden Pig, it could be a bit upgraded, food was real tasty, the appetizer was brought to us at the same time as the main dishes, I lend the fact that we were not rushed out and could have a good conversation with my family. We were not asked whether we wanted something more, the waiter just came to our table and handled the bill over to us that was that.“

“Best place to buy Halal meat. Meat is always fresh and clean. Order on the text is super convenient. Their customer service is excellent!“

“Quick, food was fresh and really good. Still currently take out only but we sat at a table outside and enjoyed“

“the hamburger outstanding.“

“Please change some of 20 curbside parking into handicap parking for a disabled veterans. Only 5 handicap spots always full but the 20 curbside pickup are always empty.“

“OMG! I am so full! I recommend the garlic pork belly and the brisket!“
