    Pick two- Greek Salad with Chicken and Rustic Baked Potato Soup
    Elisa A.

    Delicious. I love Panera and it was my first time trying this Greek Salad. Amazing taste!

    Duo Value Meal - 1/2 Tuna Sandwich and Ten Vegetable Soup and a side of Chips
    Shenna W.

    Clean location and quick service. We ordered via the kiosk so, which limited a lot of interaction with the staff. However, it does ensure you have ordered the correct items. If not, it's on you - lol. We decided to eat in at this location, the space was clean and well lit. They didn't have booths or anything blocked off so we just made sure to sit away from the crowd. The staff did have on gloves and masks. When dining in they call your name when the food is ready, that was a little annoying because the person calling names didn't speak so loudly. So, you had to really pay attention or missed hearing your name called. The food was hot and correct. No issues at all. It actually was better than any other Panera I have had in awhile - we were very surprised at that. The soup had deep flavor and the sandwiches were fresh all around (bread wasn't old, tuna was good, veggies crisp). We would definitely give this location a try again while in the area.

    Ordered a bacon, egg and cheese on bagel, a $7 sandwich. Hardly any bacon on the sandwich (see photo). Otherwise an ok sandwich, but not for $7+. Then they want a tip, I'm not sure for what? The tip screen pops up on the register as you order, what are you tipping for? The cashier to take your money? or the cook to make a skimpy sandwich? If it's for the cook, why would I tip before I even complete my order? I would have been irate if I tipped and got this sandwich. Someone should re-think the tipping process. Happy to tip for good service, but tipping before you finish paying is a joke and greedy imo!

    Black Bean soup.  Turkey and Kale Panini.
    Tammy M.

    When I am craving soup this is where I always go. Their black bean soup is really good. Today I had the pick 2 with black bean soup and the new turkey kale panini. Both were delicious. I give them 2 . You can always rely on Panera to have consistently good food. I have never had a problem.

    I put the extra cinnamon on my bottom half of the bagel. Amazing!

    I love Panera. I came in from having a really bad day. The line was long at first. I guess they were having a shift change by the looks of it. But they brought out more cashiers and the guy who took my order, I think his name was Tyler, was very nice and gave me the bagel with the most cinnamon. Always fast, always good. I think the bagel could have been warmer but they do have a microwave. I'm just glad it was perfectly toasted and not burnt like the other location keeps doing. The mango smoothie is to die for. Second time I've had it and it's even better than the first. Might have to go back for another one today. Side note: the cream cheese is the perfect size/amount. I work across the street and I think my lunch will forever be Panera

We ordered the Chicago Dog, the Reuben Sandwich, and finished things off with a cannolo (yes, the singular form of cannoli). The Chicago Dog was delicious and loaded with flavor, although I have to admit the toxic-green relish initially threw me off a bit (see pic). Once I got past the visual shock, it was actually a fantastic hot dog that stayed true to its Chicago roots. The real star, though, was the Reuben Sandwich. At around $15, it was absolutely worth every penny. Generously stacked, perfectly toasted, and packed with tender meat, melty Swiss, tangy sauerkraut, and just the right amount of dressing. The cannolo was the perfect sweet ending to the meal -- crisp shell, creamy filling, and not overly sweet. What really stood out was how friendly everyone was. The staff made the whole experience feel warm and welcoming. I'll definitely be back... especially for those Thursday $5 draft beer specials. Apex locals, you've got a gem here.

You walk in and have a little self-type market area and immediately to the right there are refrigerators with prepared meals to buy and take home. Straight after the Shelf section there is the butcher shop with all cuts of meats. I liked the concept where you could even pick your meats and have the chef cook them there for you and you can dine in! They also had an area for dining in and sitting at a bar. The bar had many choices of drinks and a wine section in the back to the side. There was a patio area as well. I decided to have some lunch so I got the salmon BLT which was delicious and I got the side of hot honey brussel sprouts. I ordered some lasagna to take home for a meal later. The salmon was cooked perfectly at a medium temperature and the flavoring was great. The brussel sprouts had just enough kick to them and was a great portion size for two or more. The lasagna was good and also a good size but it is a little bit spicy so if you dont like spice be prepared for a little tiny bit. All was delish.The pricing for everything is on point and not too expensive. They also have specials most of the days of the week! Peyton helped me with my to go orders and I met Ralph the owner who told me about the concept of everything. I will definitely be back and I would highly recommend! Second time back was wonderful! Sat and dined in. I got the $1 wings special with barbecue, mac and cheese, and salmon salad. The wings were jumbo size which is great because unlike other places they weren't the size of your pinky. The mac and cheese was very flavorful with the small crisp. The salmon salad was neat because it came and deconstructed segments so you could really pick which toppings you wanted on each bite. The dressing on it was amazing and so was the ranch for the wings. I was attended to by Desiah and Liam who were other so personable and lovely! All of the portions are amazing and I love it because I have food for a few days. Definitely going to come back again to try some of the new items that they've added to their menu.

The atmosphere strikes that nice balance between relaxed and refined, where conversation flows without feeling rushed. She went with the filet mignon, cooked medium, and it came out exactly as requested, tender, flavorful, and clearly handled with care. That's what she said. I ordered the chicken pesto entrée, which held its own with a rich, well-balanced flavor that didn't try too hard but delivered where it mattered. Now, the real standout: the Hot Honey Roasted Brussels. Those were done to perfection. Crisp on the outside, tender inside, with just the right touch of sweetness and heat. Frankly, I could eat those daily without a second thought. Service deserves a nod, too. The chef stopped by the table to check in, which we were not expecting. Payton, our server, had a great read on the table, attentive when needed, but gave us the space to enjoy the evening without interruption. That kind of awareness goes a long way, especially on a date. All in, it's the kind of place that quietly does things right. Good food, easy atmosphere, and just enough polish to make the night feel a little special. Definitely a strong choice when you're hoping for a second date that turns into a third.

    Salem Street Pub: Because Your Diet Can Start Tomorrow If…read moreyou are looking for a sign to abandon your salad plans, this is it. Salem Street Pub isn't just a restaurant; it's an Apex institution that has mathematically perfected the art of the burger. I'm not just tossing around the phrase "best burgers in Apex" lightly--if you haven't tried the "My Wife Said It Would Never Sell" burger (yes, it actually has peanut butter, honey, cheddar, and bacon), you are simply not living your best life. ​But you can't eat a masterpiece dry. Luckily, their drink selection is dangerously good. Their official motto is "Burgers, Brews, and Moonshine," and they absolutely mean it. They've got a fantastic rotating list of local craft beers on tap to appease the beer snobs, and their specialty moonshine cocktails will make you completely forget whatever you were stressing about before you walked in. ​Beyond the food and drinks, the vibe is undefeated. Nestled right in the heart of historic downtown Apex, their open-air patio setup makes it the ultimate meeting spot. You get all the perks of people-watching on Salem Street with the added bonus of a cold beer and a mountain of fries in front of you. ​Bottom line: 10/10. Come for the open-air downtown atmosphere, stay because the moonshine sneaks up on you, and leave completely full of Apex's finest burgers.

We haven't tried many restaurants in Apex so I had to heard of Serafina Ristorante. The cocktails were just divine. I started with the No. 152, which has gin, strawberry-basil, lemon, and vermouth. What a lovely and delicate combination. My husband got the No. 198, which has mezcal. It would be difficult to choose a favorite. I'm also not a fan of ice so I'd recommend skipping the ice, which I did for the next drink. Later we got the No. 043 that has lavender, honey, lemon, and white grape. I think this was my least favorite. For dinner, I went with the restaurant week pear and fig salad and rigatoni bolognese. My only complaint was that the salad was a little salty for my taste. Otherwise, everything was delicious and fresh. My husband opted for the roasted chicken, which was the star of the show. This chicken elevated the whole meal. It was roasted perfectly and had so many wonderful flavors like fig and apples. I was jealous of his meal, but he let me have a few bites. My only complaint is that it was small. For dessert I had the panna cotta and my husband had the cannolis. Again, I was jealous of his, but I helped him eat them. The chocolate cannoli was the best. The panna cotta was also nice, light, and fresh. The restaurant and bar itself was pretty inside with nice decor and a warm vibe. We had a great experience for my Birthday dinner and I'd definitely visit again!
