Blair K.

Nice bar. Cute little place with a nice long bar, nice looking taps, and decent bourbon selection. The Bar is physically separated by the dining room by a short wall that just gives it a good flow, but does not cut down on visibility. Had spicy burger, french fries, ranch and hot buffalo for fry dipping and a pernicious on tap. The beer was large, cold, and fresh, tasted as expected when a place goes through the keg in the right amount of time. The burger was huge, not that it was hard to eat by being too thick, but like a medium rare smash burger that was not dry as a bone. It was the Spicy burger. Although not as hot as it name would suggest, it was delicious! The fries were hot and fresh, and the hot buffalo had a nice kick. Service was very good. The bartender was nice, gave me advice on beers and food items, and answered all my questions with a smile. Pretty fast delivery, but not so fast as you would think to yourself..."what was that so fast"? LOL. She checked back in a timely manner on both the food and drink and was all and all very approachable. Def would go back to try other items in the near future. thx.

Ive reviewed before. Food and drinks, not sure why it's not showing up. Decided to stop here to see some of the games that were on tonight. I was greeted and asked which games which is why it's three stars. Servers were good. However, my issues tonight are out of their hands and on management. What is the inventory control of kegs? Specifically, the blood orange rotating IPA (which doesn't actually rotate). Tonight the tap ran out... strike one. Then the actual games I asked for the channels were not available. It said not available as in not paying the subscription for those channels... strike two. Battery extremely low but utilizing to finishing this review. I had plugged my phone into the USB outlets at the bar, well guess what!? They don't work. How is that even possible. Why don't they work? Why are they there if they don't provide a benefit to paying customers? Zero outlets at the bar... strike three. And the walk, because already stroke out... I get it not many people pay cash and this is not a bar, bar but if someone pays cash, the customer would say "keep the change" or "give me back X amount". The server should not ask "do you need change back?". It is very disrespectful and not at all customer service oriented. Like I said at the beginning three stars (adding that the sub beer was cold) but I did review in the past, food outdoors earlier in the day and pretty sure it was 5 stars. Tonight definitely NOT.

Stopped by here on a hot Saturday afternoon, what a cute place! Very casual atmosphere, friendly servers and just a nice, cool place to grab lunch. The brussel sprouts were delicious, they do have a little bit of a spicy topping. The crab dip was really good, generous amount of bread included. Got a house salad with grilled shrimp - the shrimp were cooked perfectly and the ranch dressing tasted homemade. Really glad we stopped in. About $53 before tip. Eating out is pricey :/ Parking was a bit of a challenge, we finally found a spot close enough to avoid the 105° temps!

Salem Street Pub at 113 North Salem St. in Apex completely delivered on what we came for. Burgers - and ones that are done right! It was packed when we arrived, a 30-minute wait, but we'd already heard about the second bar in the next room and that's where we went. We slid right into open seats at the bar. The three bartenders working there stood out immediately. The three ladies were sharp, friendly, and effortlessly in sync. When the burgers arrived, while I wouldn't have minded a bit more meat in the patty, the flavor left no room for complaint. Clearly chargrilled, stacked with fresh toppings, positioned in a soft, just-right bun. The hand-cut fries, wow, perfectly seasoned, were a strong sidekick. We also tried their signature cocktails and a couple of the local drafts. Both were very tasty and rounded out the meal nicely. With an ice cream shop right next door, the whole evening felt like it clicked into place. A good date night or family night out couple of local spots. No question, we'll be back.

"My Wife Said It Would Never Sell" burger with Pub Chips

First time here based off a recommendation from friends, it was awesome how busy it was considering it was a beautiful day for people to be out and enjoying the sunshine. We had an outdoor table, there was plenty of room and we did not at all feel cramped. Service was nice and the food itself was delicious. The portion size of the burgers we got was larger than anticipated, so if you come hungry you'll be satisfied. I'd give this place five stars but want to explain why I didn't, when we got the bill the price of our burgers was different than in the menu. After questioning this, we were told it was because we an added toppings such as tomatoes, pickles, jalapeños etc. Then menu itself next to those items doesn't show an up charge like it does for other toppings. It's not until they show you off to the side does it say ALL toppings are extra. The server didn't mention these would be an up charge either at the time of order. We did have the charges removed but it would have been nice knowing this prior instead of finding out afterwards.

Good choice for burgers and wings in downtown Apex! We ordered takeout for dinner. It's quick and easy to order online. The website menu is more detailed than the ordering menu if you need clarification. We ordered two create your own burgers ($17.99 and $21.99), a side Caesar salad ($6.99), and eight Buffalo wings ($12.99). I appreciated how we could order in advance. Very convenient to order in the morning for pick-up in the evening. I received a text when the order was ready for pick-up (on-time) and retrieved it from the bartender. We enjoyed all of the items. We especially liked the fried seasoned chicken patty and wings. The crisp Asiago topped on the Caesar salad was a nice touch. Ample sauces were provided and the portions are large. Overall we had a positive experience here and recommend this restaurant to others!

Courtnay B.

Always enjoy dining here. Great food, drinks and love the addition on the right. Today we enjoyed Margarita Friday special (8.50), the patty melt and a grilled chicken sandwich with Swiss, lettuce, tomato and avocado. Ingredients were so fresh, especially the sliced avocado. The grilled chicken is my new go-to for this spot.

I'm a regular at Salem Street Pub but would dine here more often if I lived closer. I normally stop when I am in the area but have made the drive to Salem Street Pub just for my favorite burger. It is that good. I've tried recreating it at home but it isn't the same. I've also ordered similar burgers elsewhere but they haven't come close. I haven't tried anything else on the menu as the "My Wife Said It Would Never Sell" is all I order. Sometimes I get a salad instead of fries. But I always get the delicious burger with the peanut butter; bacon; cheddar cheese and honey. It does seem like a strange combination but I love it and others must too or it wouldn't be on the menu still. Service is generally great here too and they bring me extra napkins as the burger is a little messy. On my last visit, I was seated in the new expanded part. I do prefer the original side though.

Someone recommended this spot to us and it was a good option. It's off to the side of the street with a great view of what feels like downtown Apex. The customer service from everyone we encountered from walking through the door to paying the bill was A1. Everyone was very sweet, especially our server. Menu has lots of different options and the drink menu caught my eye. I tried the pineapple jalapeño margarita. If you love a lil' kick and pineapple, this is the drink for you. I'm not a fan of a lot of pineapple so I wasn't able to finish this one, but if it was any other flavor I may would have enjoyed it. For lunch I didn't buffalo chicken wrap, which can come with grilled or fried chicken and French fries. It wasn't spicy at all but it was very good - would def order again. My husband tried the black bean burger, and he said the only thing missing was some extra seasoning and maybe a sauce. The girls had slider burgers with fried and chicken tenders, which they loved! I would def come back to this spot because overall everything was pretty good! Looking forward to trying one of their burgers and their crabcakes. Inside is small and cozy, with lots of TV's, which were turned down super low or on mute when we were in there - which was a plus bc we didn't have to yell in order to hear each other talk.

Porchetta sandwich with onion rings, heaven

Jim A.

Great meal and delicious beer. We had the Slow cooked brisket and the Porchetta sandwich, both with onion rings sides. Two of the best sandwiches we've had, juicy and delicious. My Porchetta literally melted in my mouth. The focaccia was soft and the perfect bread for this meat. Nice staff. Salem St has such great local places to eat and drink.

Lazy Saturday....not feeling like cooking....taking a stroll down Salem St in Apex...ran across the Salem Street Pub. My husband and I was greeted by a very sweet hostess. The inside of the restaurant was so cozy. We watched a college basketball game on tv while we ate. Our waitress, Cheyenne, was so so nice and attentive. She made sure that all of our needs were met. My husband and I had burgers. The burgers were amazing! They were so fresh and flavorful. I can't believe that we had never eaten at this restaurant. We will definitely go back to try other items on the menu. Great place...great food...great staff.

Guinness and Strawberry Shortcake cocktail

We popped in here after church for a nice Sunday lunch, and loved the option of the indoor/outdoor vibes the bar had to offer. We ordered the Patty Melt and the burger with peanut butter and honey - both were great but the Patty Melt was one of the best I've ever had in my life! Great, friendly service from the bartender and host, we will definitely be coming back!

This is the second time in a month we have dined here and have had nothing but great meals. They do their best to keep everyone safe but you get a few people that don't comply and they don't enforce it. I'm not concerned like most and don't blame a small business to not take issue with customers. They have struggled far to long without customers so why turn away any business. The people don't appear to be sick and not coughing or sneezing so not worried. Yeah save they may carry it. The service has been top notch and even a manager or possibly the owner will stop by the table to ask if everything is good. Seems they have taken customer service to the next level and hopefully when we go back to normal times this practice will continue. The only thing I miss is the fresh cut fries. Seems all restaurants have gone away from them during this and I miss them. Don't care for the frozen and fried fries as much as a fresh cut fry! But if you want a reasonable priced meal and a nice atmosphere this is the place. read more

A Very nice restaurant located in downtown Apex, though parking is limited on the street, there is a public parking lot down the street, which is available for free. The establishment was packed with a lot of people waiting outside. We waited nearly 30 minutes to get a table and am glad that we did. The food was cooked quite well. My daughter ordered a fried shrimp platter (fish and chips). Not overdone, which was nice. They originally brought out the 'fish and chips' as grilled shrimp, but after we told them we were looking for the fried shrimp, they replaced it quickly. For myself, I ordered a Texas burger and as noted on my bill, the wait staff was very good noting my Dairy allergy. The burger was cooked near perfect too. I took a star off, as they were 'known' for their moonshine, so I thought they brewed their own, however the moonshine was not their own. They imported the moonshine from 'midnight moonshine' The moonshine wasn't even that strong (compared to some that I've had in the past) Overall, the restaurant was a great place to eat and by the looks of it, it is favored by many. read more

I just went there for lunch with my son. We were in the area and wanted to try a different restaurant which was closed, so we ended up going to Salem Street Pub. The place was busy inside and outside so we chose to sit at the bar. My son had a kids meal with 2 sliders and fries and I had the shrimp bacon and avocado salad. The salad was fresh and really really good! The flavors just blended in together well. I had the 1000 island dressing on the side but there is a long list of dressings you can choose from. My son LOVED the sliders and fries and it was a great portion for a child. Not too big and not too small. The girl who served us at the bar was super sweet and accommodating so 5 stars for the service as well! Overall an awesome experience and I'm glad the other place was closed. read more

So it has been a while since we visited SSP due to Covid and wanted a good burger. Lots of changes - additional space, new tables, new serving style, and prices. Let's start with the burger - always good here and no disappointment this time. The price however was a surprise - have been coming for years and $14 for a burger and $15 for a build you own with bacon is pricey especially given the smaller portions of fries or cole slaw as the side. Service was good as well but what used to be an affordable good burger just became a tougher place to bring the kids! But it's still crowded so now worries! read more

As far as local bar/restaurants go this place is top notch! The menu is pretty small, limited mostly to burgers and sandwiches, but their food is so damn good! The patty melt is my favorite so far, but I also had a burger that was topped with ham and an egg, which was interesting to say the least! The fries are always fresh and really good as well. And they have a really good beer selection with some rotating taps that bring in some lesser known, but delicious beers. Definitely a go-to spot to grab a beer and some really good bar food! read more

It feels like an old school filling station with the gas can lights and the cars on the wall. I took a seat at the bar, I probably was the first customer on the Wednesday. They have around two dozen beers on draft. The bartender let me try a pineapple habanero beer, though the heat was a lot stronger than the sweet. I ordered the triple All American burger with three 1/4 pound patties, cheese, comeback sauce, shredded lettuce, tomato, pickle, and I added grilled onion instead of diced onion. It came on a potato roll, always a good choice. The flavor of the burger was really good, and the burger was super messy. It's one of those that you don't dare put down because it's hard to pick back up again. Really good, maybe I'd add jalapeños next time. For my side, I went with cole slaw. It was creamy, but thankfully,not overly thick and heavy. Maybe a touch more vinegar would have helped balance it out. The Arnold Palmer was served in a plastic cup, a little unusual.

Salem Street Pub: Because Your Diet Can Start Tomorrow If you 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. read more

Not a good experience. Staff is pretty much all young women and they seem like they could care less about service. I was giving the wrong food TWICE and still on the third time the server acted like I was the problem and should just eat what was service. Wings were bloody and not cooked, the sliders had stale bread and to sit outside is near impossible with all the flys and bees buzzing around. They need to clean those tables and set candles out if they are going to have outside seating. Would never go back. Snobbish and bad service. Need a total change of attitude. read more

I love this place, local and close to home. They food is delicious and atmosphere is nice. Great options for beer on tab. The entire staff is very friendly and I visit at least once a week! At times it does get busy and do not mind waiting for a table, but when you see others being seated that walked in after you was discouraging. I think they need a better system for customers waiting for tables and more help supporting the bar. AWESOME BURGERS but miss the fresh cut fries!! read more

I went with a group of girlfriends who all swore by the burgers. I was told to order mine medium because they tended to still be pretty rare, which is the way that I like them. When mine came to the table, it was well done and virtually flavorless. My friends can share the blame for that one based off of their advice but the cold and soggy fries are definitely the fault of Salem Street Pub. Love the atmosphere but was utterly unimpressed by my meal. read more

The short rib was tender and flavorful, and sat on top of a biscuit (what's not to love here?!) - horseradish hollandaise was the perfect touch as the horseradish pairs nicely with the beef. The chicken & waffle sandwich was the best guilty pleasure!

They were very basic and didn't resemble what I would expect from poutine--more like prepackaged frozen fries that had been deep-fried. We didn't finish them and left most behind, though we still paid for them. Our child wouldn't eat any of the food, so we ordered the fried ravioli appetizer, hoping it would be similar to versions we've had elsewhere. Sadly, that was another letdown. Although we were told there was no breading, the texture suggested otherwise. This was the one item we did send back. I wouldn't recommend this location for anyone with food allergies or sensitivities, as much of the food appears to be made from frozen or prepackaged items. That said, our server was absolutely wonderful--the highlight of the visit. She was kind, attentive, kept our drinks refilled, and genuinely made us feel welcome. Her sweet demeanor and constant smile were honestly the reason we didn't complain more at the time. While I wouldn't return for the food, I might consider stopping by again strictly for drinks during a sporting event. Otherwise, this just wasn't the dining experience we were hoping for.

It is quite open so it can get noisy at times, but the ambiance is great. We ordered our drinks and had a main server & trainee. We ordered pretzel bites as an appetizer. Ordered a burger with no cheese, mac and cheese with fries, shrimp tacos and short rib grilled cheese. Everything was delicious though the burger first came out with cheese on it so we had to wait for a new one while everyone else had their meals. Oakview Public house is located off Green Oaks Parkway near the 12 Oaks Community. There is ample parking though the lot is a little small & as businesses join the area they may need more parking.

Had a reservation for a birthday dinner and was so embarrassed about how everything went. We were seated right away but that was the end of the good service. For a weekend night it wasn't packed but not sure what was happening in the kitchen. Everything from drinks and appetizers to our meals took forever. One of the owners came over and apologized and offered us some free desserts but those took an additional half hour. Not sure what's going on with staffing. For a party of 8, all of our food came out at completely different times and some wrong, with a salad being the very last to show up. It was nothing short of a disaster. Now the food. I appreciate the change up on the menu but it just wasn't as good. A few ordered the Mac n Cheese and didn't like it. The short ribs and mash was hardly eaten. It did not look edible. Hard choice of appetizers now for a mix of older kids and adults. Quesadilla was just ok. The burgers were good but everything else just mediocre. We wanted to love it and have given it a great shot but will probably be a long time until we go back.

There are tables outside but we decided to dine inside. The restaurant was clean, cozy, and welcoming. Jena was our server and provided wonderful service. She knew the menu well, actually made recommendations rather than just saying everything was good, and was very polite. The food was hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The portions you get are significant and well worth the price. We will absolutely make this one of our regular spots.

New to the area and in an up and coming apartment/shopping district, I can see a lot of potential for this location! I got the Full Fish and Chips, a French Onion soup and an order of the poutine. Fish and Chips were very hot and fresh, crispy and served over a bed of perfectly crispy fries as well. I was honestly shocked at how fresh and good the food was. The poutine was a hit, and French Onion soup hot, cheesy. Everything we ordered exceeded our expectations, and left us with leftovers we were genuinely looking forward to sharing with our families to try (who all agreed, phenomenal fish and chips.) We came in on a Sunday afternoon, sat at the bar and were checked in on countless times. Dan and Ashley were truly lovely, more than happy to give recommendations and talk about future events at this location. They elevated the bar experience to really give you that familiar/cozy feel I often crave from a pub. We'll be looking forward to coming back as the weather warms up and using their outdoor seating -- excited to see what's in store for this location in the future!

We've driven by this place countless times without realizing there was such a great spot just…read morequietly tucked away. The space itself is cozy and comfortable, with a relaxed, welcoming feel. The bartenders were friendly and attentive, and the food we ordered was great. They have some of the best buffalo shrimp I've ever had. They were perfectly cooked, with the lightest fried batter, and a perfectly subtle buffalo sauce. They were so good. Everything coming out of the kitchen looked just as good, which makes us eager to try more on a return visit. It is a small space, and on a busy Saturday around 5pm it was quite lively and loud--which isn't negative, but more of an observation. There was no music playing and the TVs didn't have volume, so the room noise carried quite a bit. At times it was difficult to hear conversation even sitting right next to each other. That said, unfortunately, during our visit, some of the dialogue from nearby regulars was disappointing, very rude, and imo racist. It definitely made us uncomfortable, which impacted our experience and led us to leave earlier than planned. I'm hoping this was an outlier for what is otherwise a great neighborhood spot. I'd absolutely consider returning for the food alone, as it was that good--and ideally I'm hoping for a different overall experience next time.

Such a great surprise to find Cary Pub! Brooke was awesome…read more Food was just like I would make at home -yum!
