40 Best Seafood 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.“

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

“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Mi Cancun is by far the most consistent and delicious food anywhere around. The staff is top notch . Highly recommended.“

“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.“

“The food and service were excellent. We had a 6:30 reservation and the server was kind enough to tell they were running out of Oyster and a main course dish which I thought was strange since the restaurant was just starting to get busy. We had four people, and all had appetizers and a main course. Three of us ordered their Lamb Chops that were severed almost the way we order them in terms of temperature. Three of us switches a vegetable that went with the Lamb main course. There was a $3.50 substitution charge for each. I ordered the Raw Oysters, which was $18, there were very fresh but only came with a small paper thimble of ketchup not a homemade sauce or fresh horseradish, and no oyster crackers. I asked for horseradish and some crackers, and they charged us $1.50 for extra crackers. Our bill before server tip was $300. You would think they would not nickel and dime us for changing a vegetable or crackers. Not a good policy. By the way this is a very small restaurant that is very noisy.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Delicious and friendly. Highly recommended“

“We have been wanting to visit The Blind Pelican for a while, and finally took the plunge for my husband’s birthday. This trip will absolutely not be our last. The place was packed on a Tuesday night (it’s not a huge space, especially in the winter when outside seating isn’t available, so plan accordingly). Our wait time was exactly what the hostess promised, and service was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. All staff were phenomenal and checked on us while we were waiting as well as once we were seated. The staff aren’t overly attentive, which we love (they checked on us enough to be helpful but otherwise just let us enjoy our meal). We obviously HAD to try the crazy fun bloody mary’s. They were delicious - exceptional bloody mary’s, and all of the food on top was perfectly cooked and a joy to eat. I had the Taco Tuesday special - lobster tacos with a mango salsa that made me do a happy dance, and my husband had the steak and scallops. Everything was so good and worth the price, in my opinion. Quality seafood can be pricey in central NC, but worth it! The bloody mary’s are obviously a novelty item - but the quality was so outstanding that I would actually order one again (which is saying a lot as I figured it would be a one and done). I can’t wait to go back and try all of the other items on their menu - including some fun drinks & apps we didn’t have room to try this time. If you’re on the fence, just go! You will be glad you did!“

“Extremely friendly staff, happy environment. Food was amazing 🙂‍↕️“

“Always a good stop! Bartenders are great, manager is attentive and food is very good! Martinis on Monday, Bang Bang Shrimp on Wednesdays and Great Makers Mark Paper Planes everyday!“

“First time there and the food was delicious!“

“Delicious food. I can highly recommend.“

“Love M Sushi! We've been to the Durham and the Cary locations and the quality & taste of food is consistently fresh and delicious! The staff is always pleasant and helpful. The only criticism I would have is that though space is designed to feel exclusive, it's a bit cumbersome. It's by no means a deal breaker :)“

“Came here on a Sunday for lunch. Ordered Vijayawada Boneless Chicken Biryani (Spicy) and mango lassi, they have decent amount of delivery orders at the time so waited a little bit for the to food come out, it was just me dine in and the service is good though

The amount of biryani they serve is huge!! It looked exactly like the photo on the website, wish I had taken a photo before eating. It is indeed spicy like I requested, all the spices blended well/evenly with the rice, chicken is tender and very very flavorful. Definitely ordering the Vijayawada Boneless Chicken Biryani again when I come back, highly highly recommend!

(Oh, the mango lassi was good too, but I was just too focused on the dish)“

“We’ve been enjoying the delicious food from Cilantro Indian Cafe for years and it’s still just as good as ever. Highly recommended!“

“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!“

“I really enjoyed the food 🤤 It was delicious, made me feel better as I was sick that day. Great quality, service and amazing experience! Totally recommended!!“

“MC is by far one of the very best restaurants in the Triangle & in the State. The quality of the service, culinary experience, & ambiance rival the Michelin Star restaurants across the country I’ve had the pleasure of dining at. If there’s any restaurant in the state that deserves Michelin recognition, it’s MC. The consistency of quality even with an ever-changing menu keeps me coming back for more. I’ve taken many friends & family here & I constantly get asked when we’ll be coming back. Bravo Chef, you’ve built an incredible experience.“

“Absolutely amazing service was great and the atmosphere was amazing“

“Excellent food, service n ambience.“

“Had a great birthday celebration today. Food was excellent (very fresh ingredients), drinks were beautiful and delicious and the service was exemplary! Highly recommend Fiesta Time!“

“I 💛 this man! I had a special request & he worked very hard to get it right. It turned out great! The Fountain soda tastes great. Atmosphere is relaxing. The lady had a beautiful black blouse with🌹 on it. This was this morning, I’m ready to go back Now!“

“Highly recommend! Staying near airport and had a delivery made to our hotel! This place is a hidden gem! Try the Italian Quesadilla and White Pizza. Salads were super fresh. Delivered timely and courteously! These days it’s hard to get great food and customer service of this quality so y’all should be proud. Thank you!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ve been coming to Mi Cancún for years, and it’s still the best Mexican restaurant in Morrisville! The food is always consistent — delicious, fresh, and served quickly after ordering. But what truly makes them stand out is their outstanding customer service. Every visit reminds me why I keep coming back: the friendly staff, the warm atmosphere, and the genuine care they show make Mi Cancún a special place. Highly recommend! 🌮🇲🇽“

“First time here & won't be the last! Best poke bowl in town! The lady helped me customize a killer bowl!!“

“Been ordering from China Cary for years. The food is always very good., very fresh with generous portions. A neighborhood gem.“

“Always delicious pho...Hong and her husband Jeff have always had wonderful service and delicious food!!“

“Every time I come to RTP, I like to get a dragon and phoenix from this place. It's always delicious. I even got it two days in a row this week. Yum!

6 years later, I made it a point to revist this place when I was in town again. Still great food.“

“Went a couple of days ago and was very impressed. Everything was hot, fresh and authentic. Loved the fried cauliflower. I will definitely go back and I definitely recommend it to those looking for real Indian cuisine.“

“They literally made this one of the most special birthday’s ever for my boyfriend!!! Best service, best food, best table in the house!! It was absolutely amazing! We walked in and they delivered his favorite drink to him like requested. The raw oyster appetizer was incredible, calamari was fresh and delicious, crab dip was super (and we’re from Maryland and are picky with crab ? dip). The steaks were cooked perfectly (Pittsburgh style, medium rare) and the dessert was incredible! Cannot thank the team enough!!“

“Great Staff Excellent Food“

“All I can say is WOW!!! This is the BEST Chinese takeout I’ve had EVER!!! My wife and I were absolutely blown away!!! We got the Happy Family, Beef/Broccoli and Pepper Steak. The food was Phenomenal!! This is my place from now on!! Worth the $!!!“

“Tried Lucky Chicken (Peruvian spot) and it definitely delivered. I had the fried fish and it was excellent—crispy on the outside, flavorful, and cooked just right. It came with a fresh side salad and a good portion of rice. I asked for extra red onions and they hooked it up, which made the plate even better.
The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, and the staff were friendly and easy to deal with. Prices felt fair for the quality and portion size.
I’d come back again without hesitation.“

“Service was fast and good. Soon as we stepped in, we were brought to a table. When the food was brought out, it looked incredible. The Ribeye had a little too much seasoning, but thats the only complaint. 10/10. In fact, it was good enough to where Im contemplating on going today for Thanksgiving.“

“Great service, food and atmosphere. Prices are great for amounts of portions, a hidden gem!“

“I went to Firebirds in Morrisville for a work lunch and was torn between a burger and a steak. Then I noticed they had a steak burger on the menu The flavor was good but the steak itself was a bit tough for me. What really stood out was the service. The restaurant was busy but our server was incredibly attentive despite clearly having a lot to manage. She made sure we had everything we needed and I really appreciated her effort. The atmosphere is nice and comfortable and ideal for both work lunches and casual meals. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.“
