I really love Peak on Salem! We've been several times and enjoy the atmospheric, covered outdoor seating. The staff is very accommodating and the food is great. I'd highly recommend the chicken schwarma or shrimp & grits. My wife loves the short rib.

We had a disappointing experience. It was a birthday dinner.. the ribeye was overcooked twice.. I was finished with my meal before the second overcooked steak arrived for the birthday girl. Brussels sprouts were dry and dull, mash was yummy. Ummm.. bread?? We won’t return.

3/5 stars – Not Worth the Price, Despite a Few Highlights
I recently visited The Peak on Salem and had a mixed experience.
I started with the crab cakes, which were honestly very good – nicely prepared with a generous portion. Unfortunately, the main course didn’t follow suit. I had the tomahawk pork chop, which came out dry and lacked seasoning. The mac and cheese was gritty and lukewarm, and the greens were equally disappointing – bland and forgettable.
Dessert was the saving grace. The cobbler was fantastic and easily the highlight of the meal.
Service throughout the evening was very good – attentive and professional – but at the price point they’re charging, I expected much better quality across the board. I wouldn’t recommend it based on my experience.
Opentable Diner
We went for the Easter Brunch. It was a limited selection of food for the amount paid. No “kid friendly” section with for example chicken tenders, French fries. No breakfast food outside of omelets. Would have been nice if they even had pancakes/french toast. We had gone years ago and it was wonderful but definitely would never choose this place again for Easter.

I searched OpenTable for an Easter Brunch, $30/plate or less. I chose The Peak on Salem, to which we were charged $61.20/plate. The website didn't indicate a special menu or these prices. The buffet had a good selection, but everything was lukewarm. The heavily worn carpet on the stairs we had to go up to our table was very unappealing. Overall, I was highly disappointed.

630 is a good time to eat in the summer here, they were not very many people there. The food was delicious and the service was attentive. Great drinks as well.

Stopped for dessert on my way to the driving range. They had just what I wanted. The waiter was a pro and seemed to enjoy his work. Very friendly. The torte was perfect as was my liquered coffee. A very nice 30 minutes at Peak on Salem. The dinner menu looked good too

Always a great experience at Peak. We never go wrong ordering the specials. Highly recommend.
We sat at our table, our wait staff person was great,got drinks and an app which was very good then all went down hill. After ordering about 30 minutes later we were told kitchen was backed up, 10-15 minutes after that we were told they were out of short ribs which one of us ordered. Another order placed about 15 minutes after that encounter nothing asked to speak to the owner who was argumentative and gave us the option to stay or “leave and I'll take care of this! With that attitude and no resolution of when our food would come after a good 45- 60 minute wait we left! The Peak is BLEAK!

Amazing food! And no wait on a Wednesday. My husband and I shared the autumn salad. I had the short rib. Perfectly tender and juicy. My husband had the shrimp and grits. We really enjoyed everything. Great service as well. We sat on the patio with our pup and soaked in the sun :)

Booked their private room for a family celebration. Our server Sean was amazing, the food was delicious, and downtown Apex is darling.

Perfect place to celebrate my husband's birthday tonight! Our family of 4 loved the spacious table and delicious food!

We had a neighborhood group of 11 people on March 1st 2025. We had an upstairs private room with our own waiters & bar staff. The staff was helpful,, friendly & very attentive. The atmosphere of the room was relaxing & comfortable. The food & drinks were delicious. All our food was delivered at the same time piping hot. We will be back again!! Thank so much for a wonderful evening.
