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“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

“Delicious and friendly. Highly recommended“

“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.“

“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 🙂‍↕️“

“Delicious food. I can highly recommend.“

“Recently ate at the Southport location. Awesome food will definitely be at the top of our list! Server was amazing and friendly. He really knew the menu items and took great care of us. The crab dip 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!“

“Excellent experience. Celebrated a milestone anniversary and splurged with the 9 course Grand Omakase. Each course was excellent, sushi was of the highest quality, presentation was top notch, and service was excellent via our server Jefferson. Restaurant is on the smaller side and seating is a bit tighter than I prefer, but overall an excellent experience. Looking forward to visiting again and trying the other M reataurants.“

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

“Excellent food, service n ambience.“

“This place is an absolute must-visit! The quality of the meat here is top-notch—the beef and lamb are incredibly fresh, with the beef tongue and steak，(beef blade) being absolute highlights. On top of that, their dim sum is simply delicious. I was thrilled to find my favorites, the durian treats and sticky rice in lotus leaf (Nuomi Ji), along with a fantastic egg tarts. Everything was outstanding, and I highly recommend checking this restaurant out.“

“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.“

“First time there and the food was delicious!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“We tried take out from Peng's tonight. Its was our first time. Wife got sweet & sour chicken, fried rice, spring rolls. I got beef broccolli, steamed rice. It was fantastic! The gentleman taking my order was super nice. We will be return customers for sure.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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! 🌮🇲🇽“

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

“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.“

“This place is very well decorated. It is bright and looks brand new. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. They replace your drink with a fresh one. They are quick to pick up your empty plates and drinks. I love sushi. The sushi was very very fresh and the flavors we excellent !!!There were too many choices to choose from, plus extra additions. I want to add the two people that took care of us. Chan and Zack. They were amazing !!!! They took great care of us and made this meal, that much more enjoyable !!! We will definitely be back !!!“

“We had A lunch meeting. KEIARA it was very attentive to our needs. She approached us in between discussions and kept our beverages full and food on our table at all times highly recommend this place menu is broad so there’s something for everyone.“

“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!!“

“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 $!!!“

“Great Staff Excellent Food“

“Nestled in a retail center between a Bass Pro Shop and a Tesla charging location, this little gem does NOT disappoint. Best ceviche I have ever experienced. Fresh, tangy, spicy and succulent. Traveling for work and now looking for reasons to return.“

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

“We were a party of 4. Two of us enjoyed the Durango burger and the special Parmesan crusted chicken. The third guest had the special salmon and shrimp special with mango salsa. The reason he ordered the dish was because he loves mango. The dish came out full of grilled corn with one tiny cube of mango! Imagine his big disappointment. The shrimp was cold, but the salmon was at the right temperature. He said he would not order the dish again. My tenderloin salad was absolutely awful! The onion rings were cold and the beef was dried. I asked the waitress to have the dressing on the side but it came drenched in dressing. Our waitress was MIA the entire time except when it's time for the check. We had to ask another server for bread for the table. We went to the restaurant to give it another try after a disappointing visit a few months ago. Needless to say, the second time did not encourage us to return anytime soon in the future.“
