About Cookout in Apex
Cook Out runs one restaurant in Apex in the 27502 zip code, at 1001 E Williams St.. Apex accounts for one of the 144 across North Carolina. The closest restaurant outside the city is in Cary, about 6 miles away, which matters on a night when the local one has a queue.
Food is cooked to order on a char grill rather than pulled from a warmer, which adds a minute or two at the window. The building follows the chain pattern, built around drive thru service with a walk up window and outside seating. One menu runs the whole day, with no reduced overnight board.
Dining at Cookout in Apex
The BBQ Sandwich costs $2.69 and the BBQ Plate $3.99, which is the largest single item on the board. Hushpuppies are $0.99 and a Cheerwine Float $1.39. Prices at Apex is set by the restaurant rather than nationally, so expect small differences of a few cents from the figures here. The full menu carries every item with its price and calorie count.
The doors here open at 10:30 AM, with the kitchen running to 3:00 AM and to 4:00 AM on Friday and Saturday. Cook Out serves no breakfast, so the full board is available from open. Drive thru and walk up ordering both work, the app handles pickup, and the delivery platforms cover most of Apex at a higher price than ordering in person.
For a group, trays do most of the work. Each one already holds a main, two sides and a large drink, so ten trays is ten complete meals with nothing left to portion out. Cook Out runs no formal catering service, which means a large Apex order is arranged by calling the restaurant directly and giving it some notice.
