    Highly recommend! The atmosphere is inviting, from the unique mosaic on the outside to the fresh cut flowers on the inside. The smash burger was hands-down the best burger I have had in years.

    Okay this was the best hush puppy i ever had!! So fluffy and fresh! The hot honey on too was perfection! Drinks were strong and well balanced, not watered down if you know what I mean! The kids had a fun little surprise which i wont spoil but the experience exceeded our expectations to the point where we may leave apex to enjoy another meal here!

    West End Kitchen is a total gem! It's got this charming vibe that makes you feel right at home. My boyfriend, puppy, and I recently had breakfast there, and it was perfect for a casual morning bite. What’s even better is that it’s super fair-priced, so you can enjoy a great meal without breaking the bank. Definitely a spot to check out if you’re looking for a cozy and affordable breakfast or dinner place. We will be back. The yogurt and fruit is worth the trip from Florida and the W.E.K is all my boyfriend could talk about! Thanks again!

    An excellent place to stop for a great meal. We were comfortable eating outside. Enough shade not to get too hot. Food selection is a little different, so check out the menu first, but it was well presented and prepared. Staff was friendly but park might become an issue if they get busy. I will be back.

    This is a great place to take a date. Make reservations though!! The food and service were spot on! Dawn our server was great and we appreciated her regular visits to the table. The food was fantastic. We had the sirloin tips over mashed potatoes with mushroom gravy and sea bass over polenta and broccolini! So good! I would definitely come back here and check out more things on the menu.

    Brunch WIN at West End Kitchen in Pittsboro! We stopped by and WOW — this place was delicious! The service was amazing — everyone was super attentive and kind — and the menu was stacked with so many great brunch choices. I ordered the fish & chips and not only was it soooo good… the portion could easily feed two people! The batter was crisp, the fish flaky, and those hushpuppies were perfect. The bacon was also cooked exactly how bacon should be — perfectly crispy with great flavor. And I love that they carry Topo Chico for sparkling water — major bonus! Such a cute area, too — we will 100% be back!

    What an excellent spot to enjoy brunch accompanied by tasty cocktails. From the welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff to the deliciously crafted meals, you would be quite challenged to find an area for improvement. My partner and I will definitely be back to enjoy a lovely brunch in the future. Dawn attended to us amazingly, striking a great balance between conversation and time to enjoy our food; she also makes an absolutely amazing Irish Coffee.
