    Wow! How have I lived in Apex for 2 years and am just now discovering this place!!! It is DELICIOUS. 1-their pricing is super fair and 2-you get HUGE portions. Their chicken salad sandwich was VERY good and the tots are very tasty and they give you a HUGE portion. The wings are amazing. The sweet and spicy Thai chili was EXCELLENT. Had a nice little kick to it. We actually liked the boneless more than the bone in. They were huge pieces!!

    This review is for service received on Oct 20 - this was a Friday, and because I was expecting it to be busy, I ordered ahead online at 5:18. Per estimate on their ordering app (Touch Bistro), my order would be ready in 28 minutes - time enough for me to drive from the hospital where I and my husband were, to the restaurant. Fridays is wings day at home, and since my husband was coming home with me after spending 2 weeks in the hospital, I thought it would be nice to have that familiar routine. I arrived at the restaurant a few minutes after 6, went to the pick-up shelf. There was 1 order ready that was not mine so I told the female staff who asked that I was there to pick up an online order and gave her my name. She said it was being prepared so I waited. After about 10 minutes, a second staff (male) asked me about my order and I gave him the details - he goes into the kitchen area and a third female staff comes back out after a few minutes and tells me they are out of fried mushrooms, and if I wanted something else instead. So as it is, they've never prepared the order after all, just passed by me waiting at one of the tables multiple times, never clarified any of the order details. In the meantime, my husband has been waiting in the car for over 30 minutes for what should have been a welcome home dinner. I was going to just cancel but I was wanting to salvage the whole experience so I said just give me the wings, never mind the other order. Third female staff (she was manning the bar) did apologize (did not explain the reason behind the snafu), and said she will take care of the bill. So after another 15 minutes or so, I got my wings, with fries that the male server he added as extra, and a painful awkward apology. I love the wings of this place, so do my boys, and I'll probably be back after the aftertaste of the experience fades, but there is really no excuse for the poor experience. A sincere apology for the mix-up, a more attentive attitude to customers who are waiting for longer than 5 minutes, and cancelling the charge when you say you are going to take care of it will help. I may not be a regular in the restaurant, but my family fairly orders pick-up regularly for our Friday dinners. Shouldn't the gracious and attentive service extend to me too?

    First and last order here tonight. Ordered dry ranch rub and spicy garlic parm... as you can see from the photos the ranch and parm were powdered on AFTER placing into takeout containers... Wings were not tossed in seasoning at all. Spicy GP wings are at least tossed in some Buffalo but I can barely taste the spice and no garlic at all. Most of the wings are bare, which I wouldn't mind if I ordered them that way. To top it all off my fried mushrooms are burnt. Fried pickles a little burned but not too bad. Guys, I've received better quality wings and sides from Walmart. Really disappointed. I expected a lot more from a place specializing in wings. Tossing wings in seasoning/sauce seems like common sense? Not sure if this is artistic license. If so, no thanks. Would rate one star but extra star bc they got my crispy wings order right at least....

    Have been looking for a good boneless wing restaurant in the area and finally found this hidden gem! Have only eaten carry out but it has been great every time. After having tried a bunch of places in the area for boneless wings, Apex Wings certainly has the best. They are huge, cooked perfectly, and lots of flavor to choose from. Go up 1 level in heat, they are a bit milder than you’d expect.

    UPDATE: We frequent Apex Wings quite often and never had a bad meal until now. My husband picked up 15 medium wings, a 6pc boneless terriaki meal, a 6 pc boneless thai chili meal and a 6 pc orange seasame. All three 6pc meals had very overcooked onion rings to the point the edges are burnt! We live in Pittsboro so it wasn't like we could run back in for properly cooked ones. They were not edible at all, just nasty. I tried calling and I pressed "2" to speak to someone, only to be disconnected twice. So needless to say I am not happy about the food, nor the fact that I couldn't actually speak to a human. I sincerely hope that this is not the new standard for Apex Wings. My first review: Always great wings served quickly!

    Pretty damn cool bar! Very attentive staff. Cool people. Tasty food. We had the fried jalapeños and wings of course. We'll be back for sure.

    When they say “best wings in the triangle,” they’re 100% accurate. Honestly, some of the best I’ve ever had. Wings are HUGE compared to what you normally get from similar places. Perfectly cooked; crisp shell, juicy. Meat just falls off the bone. Perfect amount of sauce. Especially appreciated the added jalapeños. Loaded Nathan’s hot dog was also fantastic, which came with a generous side of tots; amazing value. Will definitely return frequently.

    Best wings in town as far as I'm concerned. If you like a sauce with some kick and a great flavor then Shearon Harris is definitely the one you want to try. The rest of the menu has a good variety and the staff is super friendly. Always a great experience here.

    Update: Bryana was awesome. We came with 11 guys hungry. She did an awesome job on keeping the orders right. Sweet girl and great attitude. She made Apex Wings tonight. I heard about this place. Finally went and must say the wings are delicious here. I got the Habenero which was good. They needed more of a glaze. Also got the Teriyaki and it was amazing.

  • 5/5 Vanessa H. 2 years ago on Google
    Best chicken wings and boneless wings! The boneless are real chicken breast meat not that processed chicken nugget. There are plenty of flavors to choose from as well as a great selection of sides. Great customer service! A favorite food spot of ours!

  • 4/5 Jason B. 7 months ago on Google
    Food was really good. Service was very casual almost too casual. The place is a little dim for my liking. I give this place 10/10 for wings and the boneless wings are huge. Wedges are top quality as well. Fried jalapeños 6/10 Beer fries 7/10

    First time visiting. Overall the food was pretty good. We ordered the fried mushrooms. They were nice and crispy and well cooked, but they lacked seasoning. We also had the onion rings, they were cooked well and the flavor was good. We got the 12 piece bone in chicken wings with BBQ and Sweet habanero. The habanero does have flavor and isn't just all heat, the sweetness comes from them mixing bbq sauce in. The BBQ had a nice smokey flavor. The cook on the wings was good as well. I requested the BBQ to be extra crispy and they did not disappoint. The wings were also drowning in sauce instead of just coated. My son got the kids hamburger with fries and ate it all. The Texas toast that came with the wings was a big let down. It really was just a thick slice of bread not toasted with a dash of what we think was cheese. Service was good and very friendly, but COVID precautions seemed non-existent from both staff and patrons.

    I found the wings to be a little chewier than I prefer. Probably left in the fryer a few seconds too long. Easy mistake. The sauces were good. I had the medium buffalo and the Whiskey bourbon. They definitely make their own because you can taste the bourbon and it's not as sweet as the typical New Orleans Bourbon sauces. My wife had the Reuben sandwich and she thought it was very good. So I gave them a 4. I'd go back when we can afford it, my wife and I are still not used to paying over $40 (after tip) for bar food. B4C, we could eat out for less than 25. I know running a restaurant is tough but shaving a dollar or a few cents here and there could get more people back out. I'll get off my soapbox now, but I'm reserving the rest of my time.

    Wings are the best! Fries are awesome😁 and they have good ranch. There’s a bar with draft beer. Great atmosphere. The waitress/bartender was amazing and super sweet. Me and my friends love going there. It’s goo every time

  • 4/5 Matt H. 11 months ago on Google
    Haven't been here in years under a previous name. Still the same divey atmosphere that gives it it's personality. The wings were pretty good, slightly overcooked, but the staff was super friendly and we had a great time. Will definitely be back and look forward to bumping this up to 5 Stars.

  • 5/5 Ed B. 2 years ago on Google
    Really great local vibe. Outdoor seating- may be temporary for covid and I like it. Hidden in the back of the strip mall so Google doesn’t get you to the door. 13 beers on tap. Wings lived up to the hype as did the cheese quesadilla. 6 wings and a side makes a full dinner.

  • 5/5 BamaRN J. 11 months ago on Google
    This place has the best wings. They cook them how you want and have really tasty sauces. Their burgers and wraps are delicious too. The staff is like family. The manager DJ will work with you for get togethers. He’s the best. Been going here for years.

  • 5/5 Amber w. 10 months ago on Google
    This is our favorite place in Apex! Great prices, great food and drinks. I only order the Buffalo chicken egg rolls now. YOU HAVE TO TRY THEM. The wings are good. Sauce options are okay. The House made potato wedges are to die for. We've tried Tot fondue, Tots, wedges, fried pickles, banana peppers, onion rings, wings, burgers and of course the egg rolls. The bartenders know how to make the drinks right so that's always a plus.

  • 5/5 Chibi H. 1 year ago on Google
    First time visiting this place. I would highly recommend; waitress was very kind, food was delicious and everything was very clean. You get a lot of food with your order so definitely will need a takeout box

  • 5/5 Joel M. 2 years ago on Google
    Cool little spot tucked away in the corner. The chicken wings are excellent consistently. My favorite is the mango habanero recommended by one of the staff. Nice hometown atmosphere with lots of varieties of beer and spirits. If you’re lucky you’ll get to have the pleasure of being waited on by Brittany she is most definitely the star of the show. If you are in the Apex area, don’t miss it!

  • 5/5 Chris M. 10 months ago on Google
    What is there to say about Apex Wings? It's been around for a while, so when my family recently moved to aped and was looking for a wing spot, we tried them first. Now, there are a lot of good wings in town. Salem Street. JD's. Glory Days. But there's just something special about Apex Wings. The service is always top notch, we've always felt welcomed and taken care of. They've a good selection of great sauces and dry rubs without going overboard. Plenty of beer on tap too!

  • 5/5 Oqtik 2 years ago on Google
    I ate there growing up since I was 12 and I'm 28 it's the only restaurant I miss more than anything else and yes I have eaten Harris wings. I can't wait to eat here again I just think they deserve a mention. Remember the Danny hardy boys and stuff ate there. It's legendary. Can't wait to get some wings when I'm home California doesn't seem to keep up

  • 5/5 Trent G. 1 year ago on Google
    I've have never had any desire to go to a place that serves wings, considering them to be the boniest and most difficult part of a chicken to eat. But my wife promised I would love this place, and she was 100% correct. My *boneless* wings were delicious, and I don't know that I've ever had a better and more generous helping of onion rings. This place can easily be missed because it can't be seen from the road (Highway 55), but it's a "must know" if you live in Apex. A fantastic find!

  • 4/5 Lucus W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great wings. Liked it so much we went back on consecutive weekends. Kind of a weird spot and the interior could use some improvement. Sauces were excellent and so was the sauce variety. Wings themselves were juicy with a crisp outside. On the larger side for wings. Tried 2 appetizers so far and both were good and a large portion. The sandwiches also looked very appetizing. Service was very good for having a short staff. Beer selection is also very good. Very pleased we went there and will obviously return.

  • 5/5 Shi F. 2 years ago on Google
    My husband and I were in the area last night and we absolutely love wings so we decided to try this place. It’s amazing

  • 5/5 Heather L. 1 year ago on Google
    7 of us arrived about 40 minutes to closing. We were greeted & quickly seated. Our waitress worked her butt off & never missed a beat. We were well taken care of, our food was great & the service was the best. We were finished at 2 minutes to 9 (closing time) but never felt rushed. We paid our $138 tab, thank her for her impeccable service & left her a $50 tip. See kids if you work hard & do a good job people will reward you. You aren't entitled to anything. You EARN what you get. Oh, and the wings at Apex Wings is phenomenal!!! Highly recommend 👌

  • 5/5 Joel A. 1 year ago on Google
    The wings here are amazing. Order them extra crispy. You can mix and match sauces which is awesome so you can try some stuff out. I really. Like then BBQ and Teriyaki sauce that I had.

  • 5/5 keith y. 1 year ago on Google
    Stopped in to try the wings after many recommendations and they did not disappoint. Wings were cooked just right. Great selection of taps. A little on the higher side price wise for a dozen wings but you are getting quality in return.

  • 5/5 Mark P. 1 year ago on Google
    What a gem! This is my first time here and i can post with 10”% assurance that Apex Wings is excellent. I had their special tonight which was 10 wings. I ordered them in all drums, crispy and with ranch dressing. Plus I ordered a side of onion rings. Everything came out perfectly. This is truly a local gem and it has a lot of what I like in a local favorite; great food, lots of patrons having a great time with an excellent wait staff. I’ll be certain to schedule my work travel to get back to Alex Wings soon. Yes, it’s that good.

    First time here. The wings honey schiracha got a kick which is good. The other folks' reviews about the friendly bar staff and regulars are on point. Met a couple of them and instantly welcomed. Will definitely be back.
