11 places to get wings inside Apex town limits, on West Williams Street, Salem Street, Kelly Road, Pine Plaza Drive and East Williams Street.
Last checked Oct. 12, 2026. Refreshed every three months.
Wings in Apex are mostly a tavern and pizza shop item. Four of the places on this list sit along West Williams Street and its shopping centers, two are downtown on Center and Salem streets, and the rest are on Kelly Road, Pine Plaza Drive, Beaver Creek Commons Drive, Perry Road and East Williams Street, home of the one restaurant named for the dish.
How we made this list. The places come from OpenStreetMap records inside Apex’s town limits, the same data behind our local directory, checked against each place’s own website on Oct. 12, 2026. The map had no wing places tagged in town, so we added every place below from its own website or menu page, each with an Apex address, and confirmed each one in Wake County’s restaurant inspection data, which also supplied the phone number where a site gives none. The list is alphabetical. It is not a ranking or a recommendation, and nobody paid to be on it. Run one of these places? Write to us to correct your entry.
