    Apex finally has a Cook Out and it didn't disappoint. It is nice that there is both indoor and outdoor seating. The location can be crazy during peak time based on where it is located so be mindful of that. I had the BBQ sandwich, cheese bites and onion rings. I had previously tried the BBQ sandwich at another location and it tasted as good as I remembered. This was my first time trying their cheese bites and they looked individually made and were yummy. I also had their onion rings which were nicely seasoned and delicious! All the staff were friendly. I will say, bring a jacket if you plan to sit inside as the AC was strong and I was rather cold. I will be returning here in the future.

    The staff was friendly and the environment was clean. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich, while my partner opted for the cheese quesadilla and hush puppies. Finding a vegetarian option at fast food restaurants can be challenging, but this place made it easy. The milkshakes are a plus. Will definitely be back!

    It was a double burger and walking tacos...sorry

    So glad they opened a Cook Out in Apex. I went during the day. The cashier was so nice. He explained everything to me and was very patient. It did not take long at all to get my food. The burger was really good..nice charbroil flavor. I also had the walking tacos and onion rings. I added a onion ring and bbq sauce to my burger and made it a western burger. So good! The restaurant was nice and clean which is always a plus. I am going back because I have to get a shake.

    Banana Pudding Shake

    Fastest drive through ever! Pulled in with a line around the building and it moved quicker than I've ever seen a line move, order 4 shakes: Oreo Mint, Oreo Peanut Butter, Banana Pudding and Chocolate Malt. All were delicious!!

    Double cheeseburger

    Got my order wrong. These were supposed to be 2 double cheeseburgers; 1 with onions and pickles. Quality and portion size were terrible. Customer service did absolutely nothing to resolve my complaint.

    I'd driven by many times before but never stopped in until I had some time in apex in between…read moredelivery routes. 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. The bartender did a great job keeping my beverage cups from running on empty. I would return to try a different beer and go for a burger again or even one of their chicken sandwiches. I saw I can get a triple chicken too!

    We just moved into the area and heard great things about this place. Plus they're pet friendly…read morewhich is a bonus for us. Plenty of outdoor seating. Pets allowed outside upstairs or downstairs. Server was great and gave good recommendations which we appreciated. She brought fresh water out for our dog. Food was really good. We tried the bang bang tots, Carolina dog,hot chicken crispy sandwich with orzo salad and burger with the tomato cucumber feta salad. Everyone was happy with their food. We will definitely come back.

    Grabbed lunch from here recently and had a decent experience…read more First, a warning! I ordered my food online using the website, and I received an email and text confirming my order. My pick-up time was set for 5 minutes after I sent the order, which was pretty solid. Unfortunately, when I walked in to get my order, the cashier apologetically told me that they hadn't seen the ticket because it doesn't automatically print from website orders. If you do use the website, you should also call them to let them know that you ordered something, which kind of defeats the purpose of using the website I guess. To their credit, the cashier did offer me a free drink while I waited, so I appreciated that. I was a little worried that the location would be confusing since it's inside the Ford dealership, but it was actually really easy to find. Just walk in and look for the sign :) I grabbed a red hot and white hot (which are hot dogs, for the uninitiated!) and macaroni salad for my side. Despite the snafu described above, the food was prepared reasonably quickly, and I took it home to eat. Overall, I thought the hot dogs were pretty decent, but the macaroni salad lacked flavor. It tasted pretty fresh but needed salt or something else to elevate the taste. Overall, I would probably come back here, but maybe for an in-person meal, and I'd try something else. The turkey pesto panini sounded pretty good!

    Good burger, good service. We got there and sat at the bar and had an app of fried deviled eggs,…read morewhich were interesting. The hard boiled part was fried, with jalapeno and bacon on top. Pretty neat rendition of a traditional product. I had a Heat wave burger, which I thought was going to be really spicy, but was pretty medium, for me... I am from NM, though, so I have a little bit of a spice skew. The burger was nicely cooked, and although the fries came out cold, they remade some for me that were hot and pretty good. They also had a nice beer and cocktail selection, so if you are in the mood, you can get your hop or wheat on, or marg... Nice looking spot on the inside, with either ample table or bar seating, so take your pick. This is the spot where they just announced that the theater will be closing, and demolished forever... in Park West, and I did notice a lot of closed businesses, but that I think is a separate issue relating to the ridiculous rents that they are asking for in Wake as a whole.

    Unique (but good) burger options and great lunch time service. Every month they present a different…read moreburger and I had gotten the ballpark, which as predicted had everything on this burger you can think of associated with a day at the ballpark. Still the burger itself was delicious with a good balance of fat and thickness. They are moving across the street so I am planning on checking out the soft launch and give an updated review on the new atmosphere of the location.
