    Catfish
    Brittany L.

    Incredible place. The reviews don't lie. This is the best catfish and hush puppies I've ever had. The staff is so warm and welcoming. We also had the Mac and cheese and collards, both great. Can't wait to come back and try everything. Wonderful place. Highly recommend!

    I arrived right at opening time. The dining room was clean and well-lit. I purchased the flounder and shrimp entree. The Flounder is very good. Seasoned just right and palatable for the location (Apex). Not overly and under seasoned. Mac and cheese are good - flavorful, creamy, and cheesy. Hush puppies could be better. The texture wasn't my liking. The collards were perfect. The collards were seasoned with pork, and it's very hard to mess up anything with pork. Overall, good food and great customer service.

    Whose grandma is in the back cooking this. I'm from the south so I know some good seafood and this is what I call some good soul food. The fish is flaky and fresh. I'm definitely coming back here.

    Want home cooking you don't have to cook? Then head to the fish house eatery. Friendly & Smiling service - Clean environment - Space to eat - Ample menu choices - If you can't find something on the menu that works for you, you might not be trying enough.

    My mom and daughter were in town for a wedding and I treated them to dinner at this restaurant. My mom is one of the best soul food cooks I know and she thought that the food was amazing! And it was. The service was great and the restaurant was clean. I'll be returning soon.

    Bang bang shrimp, Hushpuppies, Mac N' Cheese, Collards - Delicious!

    Today, I had the bang bang shrimp, collards, mac n' cheese, and hushpuppies. This time I remembered to take a picture. You can tell looking at the plate it's going to have a lot of flavor. Another delicious visit! Highly recommend.

    The Fish House Eatery is open in Apex. My mom and I dined in for lunch a few weeks ago and had a good experience. I ordered the lunch plate with flounder, cabbage and mac & cheese with a lemonade. The fish was just okay but I really enjoyed the sides, I'll definitely be returning soon.

    Rudy's is easily the most consistent sports bar and restaurant in Apex…read more The staff is always friendly, there's a steady flow of customers, and even during peak hours the team hustles to make sure everyone is taken care of. They are accommodating, attentive, and genuinely seem to care about the customer experience. The food is consistently good. Their burgers and wraps are among the best in the area, and the fish and chips are excellent. I recently had a friend visiting who is gluten-free, and I was impressed by how many options Rudy's offered and how willing they were to accommodate special requests. It was a great reminder that they do a lot more than typical sports bar fare. Beyond the food, Rudy's does a great job supporting the community with kids' nights, trivia, and other events that bring people together. As someone who has lived in Apex for more than 10 years, I'd consider Rudy's a local staple at this point. That's why it's disappointing to see people criticize a locally owned establishment over things like a delayed takeout order or not being provided a brunch menu. The locals know why Rudy's has been successful for so long. If you're looking for great food, friendly service, and a place that genuinely feels like part of the community, Rudy's is always worth a visit.

My husband had the buffalo chicken sandwich with fries. Their corkscrew potato style fries are my favorite. Overall, it was 3.75 stars so I'm rounding up.

Our server was incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring our drinks were always full and checking on us at just the right moments without being overbearing. The food was absolutely delicious. The fried flounder was outstanding--perfectly crispy on the outside, incredibly flaky and fresh on the inside, and not greasy at all. We also tried the Chicken Jarrett, which was incredibly savory, juicy, and packed with flavor. It is a fantastic option if someone in your party wants a break from seafood! If you are looking for top-tier food and a welcoming atmosphere in Cary, this is the place to be. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back!

The owner/ manager ( not sure which) went out of his way to tell us that next time make sure to order it chilled . Since we're from New England, we weren't familiar with shrimp cocktail like this. No problem at all. This visit when we placed our order and asked our server for chilled shrimp cocktail, we noticed , I'm assuming the manager/owner standing by the kitchen and he asked the server if we we had ordered it cold and then rolled his eyes ......clearly showing his disdain. So I guess Legal Seafood in Boston and even the fantastic waterfront restaurant we ate at recently in Beaufort seem to know it's very much a thing eating it chilled. All that said we decided not to put a dinner order in and requested the check. The server however, was very sweet and efficient , but the guy walking the place with his tablet was pretty rude. We didn't have this experience at the Cape Fear located in Cameron Village. Tonight's experience at the Apex location left a bad taste in our mouth, so to speak.
