Cook Out - Homewood, Alabama Visit Date: Thursday, July 23,…read more2026 (approximately 8:20 p.m.) I finally gave Cook Out a try while visiting the Birmingham/Homewood area. The service was relatively friendly, and our total for four meals and drinks came to $31.56, which is certainly inexpensive by today's standards. Here's what we ordered: * Big Double Burger - $4.39 (plus $1.00 for bacon, $0.55 for cheese, and $0.10 for tomato) * Small Burger - $3.39 * Three Strip Snack - $4.99 * 2 Dog Tray - $7.99 * Large drinks - $2.49 each The burgers were definitely the highlight. The patties had a nice chargrilled flavor that set them apart from a typical fast-food burger. My only complaint is that they're on the small side, even the double burger. The hot dogs were average at best. Nothing really stood out, and I wouldn't order them again. The biggest disappointment was the sides. The tray includes sides, but they are VERY small. My order of onion rings consisted of only five small onion rings, which was pretty underwhelming. The coleslaw actually tasted good, but again, the serving was tiny. To be fair, the prices do reflect what you get, so I wasn't expecting huge portions. If you're looking for an inexpensive meal, Cook Out delivers decent value. Overall, I'd probably come back for one of the chargrilled burgers, but I would definitely skip the hot dogs and keep my expectations in check when it comes to the sides. Three stars feels about right.

I visited around 9:30 pm on a Sunday night & the drive thru line took f o r e v e r. Only 3 cars…read morewere in front of me once I ordered yet the line was at a near standstill for 15-20 minutes. I received my order at 10 pm and all of the food items were wrong I also received a cup of tap water despite the order board displaying "bottled water" as the water drink option. I parked and walked inside to get things sorted. The cashier at the counter was very attentive, apologetic and quickly righted things. She informed me that they had a lot of new employees and were still working things out. I appreciate her honesty and efficiency! Had it not been for her this would have easily been a 1-star review. It seems Cookout is the place for high schoolers to hang out on summer nights. Upon exiting the building there were several large groups of kids standing about & sitting at the outdoor tables. And the drive thru lines were both packed out by the time I got back to my car. Overall, I wished I had stopped somewhere else.

They were pretty busy and he still took his time to make sure every customer was taken great care of. The first thing I noticed about the menu was the prices seemed a little high. However, the portions are much larger than I imagined! We loved the frozen juices. I can definitely see why they are enjoyable after we tried the chicken. I wasn't the biggest fan of the actual chicken tender which I got in no flavor. But the slider that I got in lite mild was good with extra pickles and Dave's sauce! My boyfriend got the hot and as someone who enjoys spice, wasn't too happy with the actual seasoning on the chicken. I'm glad I tried it and maybe if someone suggested it I would try it again. But definitely not my first choice!

The egg drop soup had a weird, smoky taste and I wonder if it contained chicken broth or bacon. I couldn't eat it. The vegetables were nicely cooked but the co rained was mostly noodles. The amount of noodles overpowered the veggies. It was a decent meal for $13.

The President of my company I was working at 2010 took a couple of us to Taco Casa saying how great they are. He may have been a little bias as he was a proud University of Alabama alumni. Roll Tide! I read he started by Alabama alumni, who was a football player there in 1967 disappointed there were no Mexican restaurants in Tuscaloosa. Ultimately, he opened the one near the university in 1974. College students love tacos & cheap food in general. It was so popular he recognized expansion to another college town, Auburn. Although the enemy rival, he saw opportunity as college students anywhere like tacos & cheap food. Then, they expanded to Birmingham area & elsewhere in AL. The President was right in that the tacos were solid here. There was a taco truck I liked more, but I did like the tacos at a good price here.
