I am not a big fan of cooking so how far are restaurants like olive garden, outback, zaxby's, applebees, etc.? I also need opinions on High Schools in these areas too!
Most of these chains can be found in Garner, about 15 minutes north.
EDIT: There is a Zaxby's in Fuquay, and I think one in Garner. There is an Outback in Garner. There is an Applebees in Fuquay. The closest Olive Garden is in Cary (Crossroads Mall). If you do a search with Google Maps you can find them all.
I am a Fuquay Varina Native, i have lived here my whole life. Fuquay has many resteraunts most of them standard fast food Wendys, Mcdonalds,Taco Bell, Bojangels. Fuquay also has an Ruby Tuesdays and an Applebees, and 2 god Mexican resteraunts as well as a few pizza places. The high schools in the area are alright I guess. I Graduated from Fuquay Varina High School back in 2008 its was an average school I guess. Its not terribly run down, the teachers were for the most part nice except for a few such as Mrs Cotton my Spanish teacher, she was a mean old lady. Overall id say Fuquay Varina high school is a decent school.
We call Main St. in Fuquay, Restaurant Row. Chik-Fil-A, Arby's, McDonald's, Cookout, Bojangles, Zaxby's, Wendy's.... your standard fast food. If you want something other than fast food, I recommend Daniel's on Main or Andy's Burger joint off of Airpark Dr and Hilltop Needmore.
As far as schools go, Fuquay High School has gotten mixed reviews from what I have researched. Some people absolutely love the school and teachers, while I have heard some pretty bad things from people who have either pulled their children from FVHS or are planning to find another alternative.
I did much research about FV Middle and after all the great things I heard and read about the school, we decided to enroll our kids. Bad decision! We have been nothing but disappointed in the school. Wake County in general has really disappointed us.

Sorry to hear you have been disappointed. What I am concerned with are discipline problems in the school? Do you know if FVH has a lot of problems with gangs, drugs, fights? Thanks for your input!
Drugs and fighting are problems anywhere you go (not that we should turn a blind eye). FVMS has had some real issues with drugs and violence/bullying. One kid was suspended a few weeks back for bringing alcohol to school. Fights break out in the hallway and it takes teachers 15 minutes to respond. Kids go to the downtown areas of FV to smoke pot. The park across from the middle school is a pot smokers hangout as well. I can only speak from experience with these things at the middle school. Most of these kids will be entering FVHS soon so who knows what issues will rollover. I only know these these things because I hear it from my kids who attend school there.
A few other issues I have had with the school are teachers telling children to "shut up" or discussing personal issues of their own with students during class time. I am constantly hearing negative things from my kids about their day at school and frankly I'm not going to be putting them through that anymore.
