    Fresh squeezed margarita by Valerie
    Hannah R.

    Valerie absolutely killed it today. I was swoon as soon as I saw her grab fresh limes to squeeze into my margarita. Her personality and service was a 10/10. I wished I lived closer so I could frequent this place more often!

    This is an awesome place to hang where you seat yourself. There are indoor seating options, a covered outdoor seating area upstairs with fans and heaters, and there is also outdoor picnic table seating downstairs. There is a nice size area downstairs for kids to play. There are tires, a sand area and mini golf. The food I've eaten has been fine. I enjoyed their tots with their cheese sauce and bacon. I had their buffalo chicken sandwich which was good but I would have liked more sauce on it. Apparently you can get their burgers or chicken sandwiches with 1, 2, or 3 patties.

    It's always a relaxed, low-pressure environment here. The food may not be remarkable or something you'll rave about, but that's beside the point. The real appeal is enjoying a few beers or a meal with friends while watching downtown Apex. The service is decent, though I keep my expectations in check since it's not a high-end spot. You seat yourself, catch some games, and just enjoy the atmosphere. Savor the food and the great weather.

    Pretzel

    Love this place so much. All the food is delicious! The pretzel is HUGE and so worth it. Employees are so friendly and both the indoor and outdoor seating options are so fun! The indoor seating looks like the back of old truck beds being reused.

    American burger with hand-cut fries

    We walked up and the place was super busy so thought we'd have to wait. One of the servers noticed us right away and said just seat yourself. We chose a table on the bottom patio. The menu has a lot to offer. We had the burgers and cheesesteak. Best burgers around and I love hand cut fries! In the south, you know it's a hit if the sweet tea is good and it was perfect! This is our new favorite burger joint. My son said he felt like he was at a backyard picnic. Super fun and chill vibes, great for families, and the music also a hit!

    Giant 2lb soft pretzel and sauces - appetizer to share with a group

    Food is absolutely amazing! We love coming here and you have to try the giant pretzel with beer cheese. It's big enough to share for 4-6 people or so depending on how hungry you are! The only reason they aren't 5 stars is the service. Nice people and will work with you but everything is a bit slow.

    Chicken cesear salad
    Emily P.

    Tap station in Apex is amazing! I got their chicken cesear salad and everything was just right about it. From their flavorful dressing to the crispy lettuce. Not only is the food amazing but the service is always welcoming. The restaurant works on open seating so you even get to choose where you'd like to sit. They also have trivia nights and outdoor seating so it's pet friendly! Highly recommend giving this place a try.

    Three of us went here for dinner tonight, which is Monday. According to their Yelp info they are closed on Monday....but we went and they were packed. We sat downstairs in the only available table which was dirty, but was cleaned off. The menu is varied with a few appetizers, a few salads, a few burgers, some chicken sandwiches, etc. there's a kids menu with 4 choices. One of us got buffalo egg rolls, one of us got a kids cheeseburger with tiny fries(burger was overcooked )and I got a burger with a cucumber and tomato salad. The burger reminded me of the old steak and shake burgers. It was ok but not worth the price . I would not get it again. The best thing we had was the bang bang tots. We all enjoyed them. One gal was serving most of the tables, but still checked on us several times. Outside there's some games and a play area for kids. I will not return. There's much better burgers out there.

    I absolutely love this place!! I love the concept of turning an old auto garage into an amazing bar/restaurant. I absolutely love that they've stuck with the theme. I've eaten at the Tap Station twice. Both times we sat at the downstairs bar and Nate was the bartender. Nate is friendly and always super nice to my Mom as she asks him a million questions. Their cocktails are good and they usually have a pretty great list of beers on tap. My favorite cocktail there is the Pain Killer. Last night I told my husband that I felt like I was drinking a glass of vacation! I did not even know that the section of the drink menu I ordered from was called Vacations. Hahaha! Every food item I've had there (we like to share with anyone we are there with so I have tasted many of their menu items) has been delicious. My personal favorite is the chicken egg rolls on the appetizer menu. The pimento cheese burger is really good too. I wish this place was closer to my house! We would definitely be regulars there. As it is such a haul from our house, we will definitely stop in any time we are out that way.

I had never been or heard of this place, HOWEVER I love the concept! So when you walk in - you are greeted by the cashier. They provide a bracelet and ask how much would you like to put on the bracelet? Once you pay, they load your bracelet with the funds and then you are free to drink! They have beer, cider, and wine - no liquor. They also DO NOT serve any type of food, but there are plenty of restaurants in very close proximity. If I am not mistaken, you are allowed to bring food in...Anyhow, you find the drink you want, scan your bracelet, and then fill you glass! Just that simple. The name and price will be displayed on the screen for whatever drink you decide on. Each drink gives the ounce that will be provided for that drink. Check them out! The employees are really helpful & it's just a all around good time. HAPPY DRINKING!!!

    Serious food safety concerns -- proceed with caution, especially with kids…read more We had dinner at Aviator Brewing this evening and unfortunately had a very distressing experience. Within two hours of eating, both my pregnant wife and our 6-year-old son became violently ill. They had both eaten from the children's menu -- specifically the kids' burgers -- which looked undercooked at the time. The most disturbing confirmation came later, when the contents of the vomit clearly showed the meat was not fully cooked. Our daughter, who also ordered a kids' burger but didn't eat it, remained completely fine -- strongly pointing to the burgers as the cause. To make matters worse, my wife -- who is a vegetarian -- had requested a grilled cheese. When she took a bite, she said it tasted like meat. This raises serious concerns about cross-contamination, and we now suspect the grilled cheese was prepared on the same surface as the undercooked burgers without being properly cleaned between uses. To their credit, management did refund our meal when we contacted them. However, that doesn't erase the fact that we were exposed to avoidable and dangerous food safety issues, particularly concerning for a pregnant individual and a young child. I'm not writing this to be vindictive, but to warn other families -- especially those with children or dietary restrictions -- to be extremely cautious. Undercooked meat and poor kitchen hygiene are not just minor oversights, they're serious health risks. I sincerely hope Aviator Brewing takes this as a wake-up call to retrain their kitchen staff and thoroughly review their food handling procedures. Until then, we will not be returning -- and I strongly encourage others to think twice before dining here, particularly from the kids' menu.

    We used to love this place but it has really gone downhill. The food was not good and it took over…read morean hour for our meals to come out on a weeknight that wasn't busy.
