    Charcoal BURNT cheeseburger. NASTY!!!

    There should be an option for zero stars. Went to the Cook Out in Morrow Ga. The food was TERRIBLE!!! My burger was a black, crispy piece of charcoal. My chicken quesadilla was also burnt to a crisp. Who ever made that food knew darn well NOT to give paying customers BURNT FOOD!!!! As long as you all get a paycheck that is all you care about. This person should be FIRED on the spot for this nonsense. They do not belong in fast food at all. My husband got the BBQ grilled chicken sandwich, and it made him vomit. You all should be ashamed. That was a waste of $20.

    The AmeriCAN food experience is ALIVE and THRIVING! Open or concealed carry, this Cookout eatery is as democratic of an experience as they come. The food was not warm...but who enjoys a fever? We've got to stop pretending we're too evolved for half-melted cheese or a corndog with a batter-to-wiener ratio that skews heavily towards batter. THIS is the experience society once valued when public school cafeteria's and church parking lot carnivals were the arenas for cultural discourse and exchange. It's not free...its FREEdom. GO TO COOK OUT. 4 stars, as in, FOUR MORE YEARS!

    A messed up cheeseburger tray. They didn't get rite.

    Food was nasty they didn't get my order rite at all am I will not be returning to this location always a problem with my order.

    This was my first time trying Cookout, as west coast girl, and I must say how disappointed I was. The customer service was TERRIBLE; the drive thru line was to the road and while I understand a need for urgency to keep the line moving, the lady taking our order never once let me finish my sentence. The menu confused me a bit when I first got there so excuse me for asking questions and clarifying. They were out of root beer for the milkshake floats, and were so snappy when my friend requested a "reg barbecue" ... "REG BARBECUE WHAT? SANDWICH? NUGS? TENDERS?" Like chill out... your menu doesn't specify. They forgot my friends fries when she was supposed to have 2 sides, she only received the nuggets. The chili WAS SO SMALL I pulled it out and thought it was a SHOT of chili.. TLDR the food tasted fine, 6/10 nothing special, but the service was disappointing and unwelcoming.

    This was my second trip to cook out but first at this location, and I must say my first experience definitely out preform this one. I don't have all negative things to say but I must say soggy lettuce is a big no no for me (on the burger and in the walking taco) plus THICK MILKSHAKE! I have no way to drink it until it melts which is a big turn off. Now on the brighter side I also got to taste the sweet tea definitely top tier no disappointment there! I'd rate the trip 6.5/10!

    This Cook Out was on point from the food placement and the quality of food. My friend and I ate everything! Including the milk shake. I was so hungry and was so happy that this filled the spot.

    Thick spoon needed banana shake.

    Cheap (yeah) Tasty (Not for me) 2nd time here and I gotta say the stars are for the MILKSHAKES, HUSHPUPPIES and CHEERWINE!!! (I REPEAT..My opinion) First time I went I tasted a explosion of salt! Second visit I notice the same salt explosion that had my tastebuds feeling sick! The first visit I was hoping it was just what I had ordered.... (nope, it's the salt!) This time instead of the milkshake I had the cheerwine. (I like) I also enjoy the Banana milkshake from my first visit. Drive thru and inside are both crowded. Lots of people enjoy it I guess? ( to each their own) Don't let my review stop you, but if you have any blood pressure issues or hate salty food... STAY AWAY

    Really impressive fast food and so cheap! Great milkshakes and tons of flavors. Sure it's not fancy food but it's all fresh and yummy. Workers are very friendly too. I got the mint choc shake and loved it!!! tenders fresh and crunchy and corn dog yum. Everything was great. Only wish they told us of all the sauces for dipping because it wasn't listed anywhere and we didn't know they had any until clicking through yelp.

This isn't just a gimmick, though; the execution is legit. You can order a single or a double, and each patty is smashed fresh to order, delivering those lacy, ultra-crispy edges that define a elite smashburger. It's cradled in a potato bun that gets toasted to a perfect light crisp. They even offer generous toppings at no extra charge. Do not skip the sides or the extras here. The fry seasoning is incredible, packed with savory flavor that makes them impossible to stop eating, and their onion rings are a solid choice too. But the real secret weapon is the Sassy Sauce (or "smash sauce"). Do yourself a favor and get a cup on the side for dipping. it's that good. While it's tucked inside a convenience store, there's actually dedicated patio seating set up right behind the gas station if you want to sit outside and eat fresh off the grill. Unconventional location, flawless execution. NFA delivers on every level. This was my 4th visit and the food and service is consistent everytime.

I'd take this over Mister Burger. NFA has that classic ketchup, mustard, and mayo flavor with its signature sauce, while Mister Burger is tasty but leans away from that traditional burger profile. I'm not ready to call it the best burger in Atlanta just yet. Fred's Meat & Bread at Krog Street Market is still my favorite, but Holeman & Finch is next on my list, so stay tuned. My only downside is the Dunwoody location, but honestly it wasn't bad. I made the trip from Buckhead and back in under 30 minutes. There were only two people ahead of me, and I had my food in about five minutes. I've heard the waits can get much longer during busy times, so just keep that in mind.

This was my first time making the walk from Ponce City Market to Krog Street Market, and honestly, that was part of the fun. Krog Street Market was a little smaller than I expected, but it was lively--and Fred's Meat & Bread seemed to be responsible for a pretty significant percentage of the crowd. I've been to another Fred's location before, but that visit was all about the cheesesteak. This time, I had one mission: the burger stack. And the first thing that hits you is the bread. Soft. Pillowy. Almost ridiculously good. It's the kind of bun that makes you stop for a second and appreciate the role bread can play in a burger. The burger itself is well seasoned and packed with flavor, but here's where I struggled. It's rich. REALLY rich. So rich that by the end, I was wishing for some kind of sauce or acidity to cut through it. Something to break up all that richness and keep me going back for another bite. But the pomme frites? Now THAT was the highlight. These weren't just fries thrown on the side. They felt elevated--crispy, delicate, and somehow giving me the feeling that I should be sitting at a little café in Paris instead of standing around Krog Street Market. Easily my favorite part of the meal. Fred's Meat & Bread is clearly a big deal in Atlanta, and I can absolutely understand why. There's real technique here, and the burger is certainly a valiant effort. But Atlanta has given me a LOT of burgers, and I've had quite a few elsewhere that I enjoyed more--and, more importantly, didn't leave me feeling like the burger was sitting on my chest afterward. Valiant effort. Great bread. Excellent fries. But for me, the burger didn't quite live up to the hype.

Crispy, loaded with flavor, and perfectly seasoned, they became the center of attention at our table. In fact, the three of us were literally fighting over the last few fries.

Holeman and Finch is known for its burger, and deservedly so, but I can't stress enough how good the other food and drink are here. Looking at the current list of Atlanta restaurants in the Michelin Guide, I think Holeman and Finch deserves to be included. I wonder why they got snubbed. Holeman and Finch relocated to Colony Square in Midtown in February 2023. The restaurant validates parking in the Colony Square garage for two hours. We stayed just over two hours and ended up paying $6. I like to enter and exit the garage via Peachtree St NE. There's also an entrance/exit on 14th St NE, next to The Starling hotel. We used to go to the original location in Brookwood/South Buckhead circa 2010 when only 24 burgers were made per night and released at 10pm. Holeman and Finch existed in that location from 2008 to 2020. It was quite the Yelp hot spot: https://www.yelp.com/biz/holeman-and-finch-atlanta-2 This new location at Colony Square is way more spacious and looks great. There's indoor and outdoor (covered and uncovered) seating. The atmosphere is that of a modern, upscale pub. It's nice. Reservations can be booked on OpenTable, so get those dining points. Our server said the brunch menu was served until 4pm. Here's what my wife and I had: Drinks: * H&F Bloody Mary ($14) * Iced Tea - half sweet, half unsweet ($5) Graze: * Naturally Served Oysters ($5 each) - cocktail sauce, mignonette, buttered saltines, horseradish - Lowcountry Cups - Charleston, SC - Dukes of Topsail - Topsail Sound, NC - Dixon Point - New Brunswick, Canada * Deviled Egg Trio ($9) - classic, country ham, and Pickapeppa mayo * Hand Chopped Sirloin Steak Tartare ($20) - capers, horseradish, egg yolk, chips * Simple Lettuces ($15) - citrus vinaigrette, crisp shallots, fromage blanc, pecans Sandwiches: * H+F Cheeseburger ($28) - certified Angus and Hereford beef, onions, Kraft, fries Plates: * Housemade Scottish Gravlax ($18) - toasted brioche, fried Pantelleria capers, lemon dill clabber * Holeman + Finch Vegetable Plate ($32) - "all that is best from our Southern farms" Dessert: * Sticky Toffee Pudding ($14) - vanilla ice cream Everything, down to the sweet tea, was fantastic. The Bloody Mary was strong and so delicious that I gulped it down. All of the dishes were beautifully plated and finished. The oysters were fresh, superb quality, and cleanly shucked. They forgot the crackers, but that's okay. I highly recommend the deviled eggs. They were perhaps the best we've ever had anywhere. If you're unfamiliar with Pickapeppa, it's a sweet and savory Jamaican brown sauce that is used to make the mayo for this dish. There was nothing "simple" about the Simple Lettuces salad. It was pretty much a perfect, tasty, and refreshing salad. As for the H+F Cheeseburger, it's a classic and continues to be one of the best burgers around. Every bite is just so good, and the ketchup and mustard remain distinct. If you've never had the burger before, get it here or at H&F Burger at Ponce City Market. The Truist Park version isn't the same and I've never tried the Mercedes-Benz Stadium version (the old Turner Field version was legit, though). If you like gravlax, wow - the gravlax here is amazing and really well made. The Vegetable Plate was terrific as well. It featured potatoes, okra, beans, succotash, mushrooms, onions, peppers, tomatoes, and more with a fried onion ring on top. It's a great dish to share. The Sticky Toffee Pudding was top-notch - exceptional texture and flavor, and perfectly paired with a scoop of dense vanilla ice cream. Our server was Jonathan R.

Other than that, I had a great experience and would definitely consider coming back.
