Really good, mahi mahi tacos are delicious, the spicy pineapple sauce make them real tasty. Mean Jo green salad was fresh and good.

Five stars every time. Go there now! The doors and windows are open, and the weather and view are awesome! Every TV is on, so the kids will be entertained. Bailey at the bar is the best!

One of the best Fried Chicken Sandwiches I've had in a long time. Crisp lettuce, nice bun, good fries, great hot sauce. Co worker had the Cheesesteak and House Salad and had no complaints.

as my past reviews will prove, I do not often give a 5 star. I used to think I was becoming cynical, as so many places just arent that great, to be honest......but occasionally a place does it right. Dugout has great selection of drinks, including inexpensive beer options, good specials and the food! wow- everything we have tried so far has surprised us as to how good it was. Surprised to hear this was part of the abby road chain, as Ive always found them to be rather lame and unbelievably overrated..anyway... solid sports bar atmosphere food and drink. seriously, best ive seen in apex (where I visit) Holly Springs (where I lived for 10 years, near way overrated myway tavern) and Fuquay (where I live now) I now drag my friends up here for this place. I hope it doesnt change!! as far as the owners reply...the abbey road location I was referring to went out of business. in no way was it anything like dugout. the food, service and atmosphere was just bad. the people spoke. its now a mexican restaraunt. Im moving to chapel hill soon, but will travel to apex for football games from time to time. i really dont think theres a better sportsbar in the triangle.

I love that the patio is dog friendly! Lots of good options - I love a good sports grill/pub. The meatball appetizer was really good. The nachos were great, but definitely get them with meat—the cheese is very good! My husband got the carnitas crown tacos which were very good!

Food is typically good, atmosphere is great, even quiet off peak sporting events. The staff is great, Annabelle is a top notch server. To be fair sometimes they are short staffed which is something that seems to always be a challenge for whatever establishment occupies this location.

There are TVs everywhere you turn, so you can see every game no matter where you sit! It's great! They honor every sport, so there is memorabilia everywhere too. They offer a variety of food and drinks with so many beers on tap it's insane. The menu is not your average bar menu- the burgers are very unique and everything on the menu was named after an athlete or sports event. Sydney, our server, was very knowledgeable and made some great recommendations. She told me the tacos were good, but they were actually amazing! I got the Mahi tacos and house made chips. She was also very attentive and we enjoyed talking to her! We will definitely be back soon!
