Great friendly service, cool relaxed atmosphere, on point drink selection, and the food is delicious as well. If you are an apex resident, or just visiting, I recommend JD's for anyone looking for a place to hang out and eat, or grab a beverage. read more

This place has amazing food and service. While camping at Jordan on a rainy day ventured out. The cheese sticks, onion rings and build your own burger is something to write home about. Nice bartender Jill provided excellent service. read more

5/5 on food. Absolutely phenomenal food. We ordered the chicken nachos (way more than enough for three linebackers) but they had both pickled and fresh jalapeño so just know it's . So good. I had the French dip which was nothing to write home about kind of like reheated lunch meat, and the naked taters as a side. Potatoes were good! Cesar salad meh- husbands Greek salad 5/5! His patty melt was out of this world. We ordered medium well and pretty sure it was still mooing when it came out, but it was so good we didn't care. Wings were huge too! They were like fried chicken, moist and greasy in a delicious way. But our appetizers, despite ordering ten minute prior to food, came out five minutes after food got to table. We were hungry enough to eat the damn table though, but still. My drinks were fantastic - that is a heavy handed bar tender back there! Cheap too. I did see a waitress sniffing like nose deep into someone else's drinks on the way to a different table which was a weird flex, but okay. Our waitress though - oof. The reason for the low stars We sat for about ten minutes before we asked another waiter (who seemed awesome) for water. Our waitress had walked by at least four times. She wasn't very friendly, didn't seem to give a shit that we were at the table to be honest. Maybe she was having a rough day, but still when you're spending seventy bucks on food and drink - it'd be nice to not be sitting there parched, staring at your cup that has been empty for fifteen minutes. Overall - super awesome atmosphere. (No car seat sling, be aware. There were older kids like toddler age there and we ended up sitting the car seat on the seat, but just know that). Game was on and it was a fun, tavern setting. For bar food, it was good but with so many options in apex we won't be back. read more

Server was new, and he tried, but I don't think much training got done. Music was awful. I didn't expect quiet romance with candles, but this music was more Ike a RAVE or dance club and WAY too loud for the time and amount of people there. Food was marginal and incomplete. Even got charged extra for something that the menu listed was included in the item. Wasn't going to raise a fuss about it, but won't be back there any time soon. When we left, the menus and every plate and glass from the experience was still on our table read more

The wings were pretty decent I didn't have any complaints. I ordered them to go. The bar was pretty crowded. Wasn't very welcoming with a all white crowd. A lot of looks and snares which gave me a weird vibe. I started to stay for a drink but I said he'll with it. I didn't like the crowd. read more

This is advertised as a Tavern but it really is a delicious restaurant. They have been a solid performer for years, and I eat there frequently. I'm guilty read more

Not bad, not fantastic. Let me start by saying our service was great! The gentleman was super friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is cool. Nice and dark with a good tavern feel. So we enjoyed that. My main issue was the food. We ordered pickle chips, which honestly was our main draw based off Yelp pics. Maybe we came on a bad day, but ours did not taste fresh. Ours were kind of sour? For entrees, my friend got a salad with shrimp she didn't finish. Another tried the chicken cordon bleu special sandwich and I got the cubano. The chicken sammich was impressive I must say. It was huge. I almost wish we had split it. The Cuban was good. I mean can't really go wrong with ham, pulled pork and cheese lol. But I got the Brussel sprouts with mine and I was pretty disappointed. They were crispy alright, but only had some salt. Pretty bland. A nice light sauce probably would've been good since they were pretty dry. They did have a full bar and plenty of selections there. I'd say it's a good place for a snack and a drink. Not sure I'd comeback, but I'd say give it a try yourself. The pics looked really good, so again, maybe we were just there on off hours. read more

I love sports bars like this. Cheap food, beer, and tv's. The only reason I'm giving this 4 stars is because the salad was disgusting. I don't know if they cleaned the lettuce. The wings were alright. And no homemade ranch. read more

My husband and I tried this place for the first time because I wanted a new place and a burger, and it did not disappoint! The burger was cooked exactly how I requested. It was juicy and not to greasy; it was delicious! Also, the brussel sprouts and seasoned fries were equally as yummy! My husband got the guacamole chicken club and he seemed to enjoy it as well! The waitress, Sabrina, was extremely nice, friendly, and helpful! Definitely glad we tried this place! read more

Food is very good bar grub. Service here is almost always top notch. Love the roasted wings and all the various spice levels.

I've eaten here multiple times. 1st time - had a salad on the patio with about 10 ladies. Enjoyed my experience immensely. 2nd time - had a hot sandwich inside with my spouse. Food was okay. Nothing to wrote home about. Atmosphere was fine. No complaints. 3rd time - went in with my kids and husband. We found a bone in our order of Brussels Sprouts (the appetizer). After that, I just could not enjoy my meal. When we got back in the car, only the Cuban sandwich had good reviews. Haven't been back since. If you are looking for a place to drink, order fried food with your drinks and enjoy the company of other like minded individuals, this place is for you. read more

Always good! A very consistently good place to get a burger or fish and chips! Nice ambiance and service is always great!

Food was good, ambiance good. Best is service. Outstanding! Asked for the baseball game and was swiftly given the right spot and screen.

Girlfriend ordered takeout and the amount of fries given was disrespectful. Food was quality otherwise. read more

Amazing wings, apps and drinks! I tried the espresso martini, and it was great! The owners are also great people! Check it out!

My favorite part about the meal was the wings. They were smoked and fall-of-the bone delicious. They also have a Saturday college game day special where the wings are 20% off. JD's is named after the propietors (Jim and Dave) and it is a restaurant and bar with high top seating, regular seating inside and out and lots of televisions. If you are looking to watch a particular game, you can find it here. Daniel had the banh mi and it rivals the sandwiches we have had at Vietnamese restaurants. I had the chicken pita yet I would not order it again. It was a bit bland for my taste and I would opt for the banh mi or something else next time. The breads are sourced from Neomonde and the menu has a mixture of appetizers, sandwiches and a few hot dishes. They support local breweries and had some Southern Pines specials on draft. I am coming back for the wings! read more

Went on a Saturday night. Karaoke was fun (Southeastern Entertainment with Stevie and his son)! And our server, Jacob, was a respectful young man and great at his job! Enjoyed Aria's singing as well, and she is a lovely young lady! read more

We have become a regular at JDs and we have good reason to be. We first found this restaurant while exploring new homes in the area for our upcoming move a few months ago. From our very first time we went to lunch at this restaurant we had friendly service and the food is absolutely amazing!!!!!! JD's is a local favorite and we definitely can see why with the amazing food variety of items on the menu and an outstanding bartender mixing some spectacular cocktails to include the most incredible pomegranate margarita I have ever tasted! When we come in the evening for dinner the bar is always busy and everyone seems happy. They have plenty of TVs to watch sports or music videos, some thing for everyone. Fabulous food and great service!! We keep coming back!! A huge shout out to the blackened Brussel sprouts, my husband could probably live on these alone. I had heard from a friend about the amazing nachos and I wanted to give them a try, these nachos came out and it was enough nachos for about five people, I went home with two boxes full of nachos which I enjoyed the next day, they weren't that bad on the next day either. If you order these nachos they are amazing however you'll need several friends Our last visit was for my husband's birthday and our server Addie was great!! I hope I spelled your name right!! You were very friendly and we enjoyed your company and you are a fabulous server, We will ask for you next time we return to JDs and that will be SOON!! Highly recommend this amazing restaurant/bar!! read more

This place was such a pleasant surprise. For whatever reason we found ourselves one early evening in Cary and discovered this place on Yelp. We love trying new places and have truly enjoyed experiencing all the new eateries in Cary. We were blown away at how many different types of entrees that were on the menu. Such a diverse amount on types of food. They serve Asian, Mexican, Mediterranean and American. We sat at the bar and all 3 bartenders were awesome. Nicole gave us such excellent service. She helped with beer/cider selections(which they have a ton of options) and gave great detailed comments on the food to help us order. Everything we ate was soooo yummy. The atmosphere is casual & friendly. We liked this place so much that a month later we drove all the way from N. Raleigh to go a second time. Nicole remembered our names which shocked us. And of course we tried different food options and they were also delicious. This place is going to be one that we go to often because everything about this restaurant is fantastic. Definitely a must if you live in the area. It is well worth the drive! read more

The online ordering for their website no longer works. When I called the location to order, I was told by someone who sounded very young that "we can't take orders over the phone". When I asked to speak to someone who could take my order, I was put 'on hold' which was a dead line and five minutes. I had to hang up b/c no one came on the line to take my order. When I called back three times, I was told that "it isn't our fault that no one picked up" and then they hung up. Grilled chicken wings are great - but not when you cannot order them. The last time I was in the actual restaurant, it was dirty and falling apart. The area that you are directed to to pick up your order if you can call in one is toward the back at the end of the bar (as I was instructed by the hostess) and no one acknowledged that I was there to pick up an order! Won't be returning or even trying to order online. Sad. read more

JD's is a great place to catch a game. We went on a Sunday afternoon around 12:50 in time for the 1:00 games and asked to be seated where they'd show the Redskins/Patriots game. (Note: They have Sunday ticket! Go a little early to ensure you're near a TV playing your game). Lively place but not too loud where you can't hear each other. They had a spin the wheel type raffle throughout the afternoon and were giving out some pretty decent prizes -- JD gift cards, free drinks, apps, etc. I'd recommend this place for any age (I went with my 10 year old son and there were other kids there too). Plenty of tabletop and booth seating, two large bars and even a corner that looks like your living room with couches, table and rug. Their food was great - better than your average pub food. We ordered the Nachos with brisket. The portion of nachos could have easily filled 4 adults but I just wish there was a bit more brisket. We also ordered their wings which come crispy/breaded, grilled, slow-roasted and boneless. We enjoyed the wings we got (plain, extra crispy with buffalo on the side) and, again, HUGE! one of them looked like a small head of cauliflower. They're offered in orders of 5, 12 and 24. The grilled wings also looked delicious - I would come back for those. Very extensive beer list with separate seasonal and local drafts. I had the seasonal flight - $5 for four 4 oz. beers. Not bad! read more

Good outdoor seating. Music is great and atmosphere inside is cool and consistent. Menu is bar food and everyone is friendly. Beer list is craft inspired varieties of bottle, draft and can. I really like ordering the mucho nachos when I am with a group. The nachos come overflowing with toppings. Buffalo cheese fries are also great to eat. read more

Arrived this evening at 9:25 pm. Sat at a table due to the bar seating being at full capacity. The young man who brought the menu to me also brought me the iced tea I ordered. 10 minutes later he came by to tell me he'd come by in a minute to take my order since I told him initially that I would be ordering dinner. 10 additional minutes later, I decided to leave after seeing him walking around doing nothing...not a care in the world. I spent about 25 minutes inside this place slowly sipping an iced tea. Then I went across the street to another local pub (Rudy's Pub and Grill) for food, I arrived at 10 PM which is when their limited menu items are offered. Had a so- so dinner all because I decided to stop at JD's Tavern. NEVER AGAIN! read more

I'd like to start by saying our waitress was incredible, the food was incredible, and the beer was cold. I felt terrible for the employees. Even the chef had to step in at one point to act as hostess. He was physically moving tables around, bussing tables, and seating guests. Because of how understaffed they were, it took a long time to place and receive our orders. Again, they did all they could and did an incredible job given how busy it was during the NFL games. One waitress. One chef. One bartender. No hostess. Packed tavern. I'm disappointed that ownership is proud enough to post their names on the front door but couldn't either step up to fill in themselves or offer better pay/benefits to attract talent. read more

The menus options are an excellent value. The dining experience overall is very pleasant, with friendly staff and always packed with locals. I highly recommend this restaurant if looking for a casual bar food experience. read more

All the food here is really good but I would highly recommend the philly cheese steak. They also have a random assortment of Asian dishes like hibachi and potstickers and surprisingly all are very good! 4 stars because we have had some nights where the food was not great (burnt/cold/took a long time) and the service is generally pretty slow but we still enjoy behind here for games or late night drinks! read more

Service was wonderful. Very friendly and nice service! Food was ok. I opted to share with a friend and maybe should have gone my own way. So I am willing to come back and try again. They had a DJ bingo game going and the music was too loud for such a small place. Again, maybe a different night will tell a different story. read more

The wings are sooooo good! The atmosphere is Young and very youthful. It's very loud so don't try to have a conversation with your friends but it's a lot of fun and hip. My only complaint is my waitress is kind of dull but other than that everything else is pretty awesome. Lol. read more

Nice place! Great friendly staff! Pizza was awesome! Will definitely be back! For sure.

Decided to try this place but was not impressed. Service was slow and not friendly. Had fish and chips with sweet potato fries and coleslaw. Fish was greasy and it left a puddle on the plate. Slaw was heavy on the vinegar. Only redeeming part was the sweet potato fries. Might be okay if you're just there for the drinks and wings. Sorry but this one will not make it to my revisit list. read more

Staff was great, but my question is, why was everything we ate burnt? Seriously.... Stick with Rudy's across the street.

Just finished up eating here the first time. The buffalo shrimp and burger was excellent. My waitress was very friendly and checked in on me throughout my meal. I will be back for the great food and service. read more
