    Stopped in today and the food was subpar at best. Bread was dry and crumbly and the amount of meat and lettuce put on the original sandwich for the priced paid is shameful. The lady working the expo window was the rudest employee I've ever encountered at a Schlotzskys. The only highlight was the young man working the register. Do better Apex Schlotzskys.

    Lots of meat on the deluxe original
    Mary B.

    Stopped by the drive-through for a late lunch. Drive-thru operator was very friendly and helpful - explained the difference between the original/deluxe original which is really just the deluxe has a whopping ton of meat! Of course, I chose the medium deluxe it was delicious huge and I couldn't eat it all! Made it a combo with a Diet Coke and a bag of chips. Overall very impressed - service was good and good was fresh and delicious! Their menu was large and there were a lot of very good sounding items. I played it safe with the original - I'm sure I'll be back to try something else!

    French Dip
    Jillian S.

    Large sandwiches packed with flavor. While on 64, we decided to stop here since we had heard positive comments about it from others. We are glad we stopped, their sandwiches are delicious and flavorful. At first, I thought they were pricy (chips are an additional charge), but then I saw the size of the sandwiches. I should have saved half for later. We ordered the French dip pretzel and turkey bacon club. Our orders were accurate and ready in a reasonable amount of time. Their drive thru option is very convenient and their employees are helpful (I had several questions). We would recommend this establishment to others!

    BOGO Pizza Wednesdays
    Pritesh P.

    I was in the Cary Auto Park area and it was about lunch time so did a quick lookup of nearby eats...and Schlotsky's Deli popped up. I hadn't had Schlotsky's in forever so thought I would rekindle some old flames ;) Glad I did, because their pizzas were awesome sauce! Apparently on Wednesdays they automatically offer BOGO pizzas, so I ordered the BBQ Chicken with Jalapeno and Pepperoni with Garlic Crust. Both were great and there was plenty leftover. The staff was welcoming and the restaurant was clean and tidy. The exterior could use some fresh paint because the remnants of old signage can be seen on the front, and the landscaping hasn't been kept up. This caused me to think it was closed when I first drove up. Hopefully they take care of that, which would probably help bring in more customers. Anyway, I didn't get to have a sandwich on this visit so I will certainly be going back. If you need a quick eat, this place definitely should be on your list.

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 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.

The caramelized onions with the hot peppers especially took it over the top.

It made for a hectic afternoon, but I saved nearly half what I would have spent at Potbelly and the food was just as good. What makes things even worst is that the manager didn't offer any sort of apology or offer a discount on my next catering order. I will NEVER order office catering from this location again!!
