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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
From the kind server to get support of my family and to the delicious food, this spot is perfect for dates and families alike! Sit outside, belly up to the bar or grab dinner with friends! Perfect pub with a wonderful experience!

Went here with a friend on a Thursday evening. It was pretty busy inside but our waiter got us seated pretty fast. I ordered a Chicken Burger and Brussel Sprouts. The Chicken patty was a bit on the smaller side but the condiments were fresh and pretty good. The Brussel Sprouts had bits of bacon and a house made jelly/jam which was pretty good. The waiters were very attentive to us even though it was busy that night. We had our drinks refilled multiple times without even needing to ask. It seems as if they play live music on Thursday nights as well. It's a bit loud and small/cramped in there but overall a good vibe. read more
The waitress was nice and personable. The night we visited they had a lady singing and it made it enjoyable. The burger I had was mediocre basically burger with jalapenos, it was fine and tasty but felt like it lacked something. It's a nice restaurant inside lots of bar space and dining space for those times. I live this place just because it's cool. Given the price I paid I thought it high, but that's okay. read more

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! read more

Apex has the cutest little, 3-4 block downtown. And the Salem Street Pub is where you'll find a nice mix of locals and visitors. Everyone is friendly, even during the 6-9 dinner rush. SSP has all your favorite bar food greatest hits including wings, burgers, fries, and sandwiches. We cozied up to the bar, ordered through Kala (perky and attentive) and began our evening. My buddy (local) had bragged about SSP's wings. So yes, we jumped right in and ordered immediately. Wings were crunchy, hot, and sauced perfectly. We could have easily ordered two more plates. We quickly followed up the wings with a couple burgers and from the bun (brioche?) down to the fresh cut fries, we enjoyed them quickly. While the food was solid, we really need to (again) plug the warm and friendly customer service. The staff, expo, bartenders, and Kala worked as a team and were VERY attentive. And yes, price point was exactly what you'd expect for bar food in 2022. We look forward to our next Pub visit, cozying up at the bar, and wing plate(s). read more

One of the best restaurants in the Triangle. Not only is the atmosphere fun and located right in the heart of downtown Apex, but the staff is friendly and the food is fantastic every time. Don't miss the Patty Melt...it will change your life. The wings are perfection, and their onion rings are unmatched. 10/10!!!!! read more

We had stopped in for a late lunch snack Friday and ordered the Greek chicken wrap. While tasty a couple of the chicken bites were very rubbery while most of the chicken was cooked just right. Not sure what went wrong but overall the meal service at the bar was quick and pleasant. read more

My friends and I were looking for a place to grab a drink and we stumbled upon Salem Street Pub and decided to try it out. It was pretty quiet when we went ( ~4 pm on a Sunday) and we got seated right away. My friend ordered the Brussel sprouts and they were divine! We each ordered a drink and enjoyed them as well. The bartender was very friendly, kind, and attentive. My only complaint/request is that I wish they offered a few more non-beer/wine drink options, as they only had one seltzer and one cider option. read more

Went here for a date night last night, absolutely loved it! We waited only about 20 minutes for a table and had requested outside, but got seated inside. However, halfway through our dinner it started pouring out- so I guess it worked out! Our waitress was very friendly and brought our drinks out very quickly. Despite being crowded inside, it felt cozy and not too crammed which was great. They have a GF bun option, so I got a GF bun on the All-American burger (sub grilled chicken) as I have a gluten sensitivity. It was delicious and a huge sandwich! I believe the bun was the Udi's brand, if you're gluten free you get it! My boyfriend got the regular All-American burger with fries as well. I ordered fries as my side to give to my boyfriend, and the waitress told me the fries shared a fryer with other fried items that contain gluten so there would be some cross contamination. I told her they were for my boyfriend anyways so he won't care about that, LOL. Anyways, food came out decently quickly and was delicious (we both agreed) and it was overall a great experience. Would definitely recommend if you're in the Apex area, as it is in a great spot right in the heart of downtown Apex! read more
We ate here on Mother's Day and got to enjoy quite the sunny afternoon! I ordered the "my wife said this would never sell" burger because I have always wanted to try peanut butter on a burger. I'm so glad I tried it! The cheddar and honey combo is what sold me. Towards the end, it was pretty peanut buttery, but every bite was surprisingly delicious. Don't think a thick slab of Jif pb, think a light, creamy, peanut butter spread over the burger. My husband got the island burger and it was also amazing. To top off our meal, we shared the Brussels sprouts between the table and wowwwwwwwww, so good!!! The staff were all attentive and very sweet. read more

I am not an Apex local, but there's nothing I look more forward to than visiting my sweet friends that live here. Mainly so we can pay a visit to Salem Street Pub and eat a delicious meal together. We came here this past weekend and were pleasantly surprised by how safe this restaurant felt during covid times. Tables are spaced out to allow for distancing and you wear masks before being you start eating. We arrived right at noon for a quick lunch, and we got the last table available, people love salem street pub! They have a great beer selection with local NC favorites, but we stuck with water this time. I ordered a philly cheesesteak with extra veggies and it was perfect! The bread carried all the flavors and juices so well and I was completely stuffed when I finished it. My friends ordered the new jalapeño popper burger and the egg salad croissant. They were both so happy with their meals and how they tasted. I can verify that the heat from the popper burger was perfect, just spicy enough to be full of flavor without being overpowering. I look forward to coming back here again. It's so fun to eat lunch here and just walk around Apex when you're done. read more
