We were in town for Auburn's graduation and super excited to find a Cook Out! Due to the reviews, we were leary to eat at this location but decided to go for it. I am so glad we did because it was delicious and the service was phenomenal! LOVED it! read more

Cook Out - Burgers Near Me - Auburn, Alabama

I went there on this past Sunday 1/4/2026 around 11:30-12 ish -hesitant because most of the time the food is not good. My order was incorrect and the lady in the drive thru was very rude. She huffed about me letting her know my drink preference after i heard her saying the wrong drink for my order and had attitude when i placed my order because she couldn't hear me. I definitely wouldn't choose cook out if you are going for the service or the food. read more

Not good food the burgers are not that juicy. Amd the hot dog messes me up. My tummy was mad at me. But I like their sweet tea. Good.

It just like all the other cook outs, I always get a tray got burger, Cajun fries, and a quesadilla with a Diet Coke. And I paid for another tray and the total was like $16. Went to pee and food was ready by time I got out of bathroom. Inside in done in auburn read more

Wow! At 5:40 on a Wednesday evening, I drove up, ordered and went straight to the window without another car in sight! Granted, it is the week before Christmas, so maybe with no students and church services, they were all elsewhere. I ordered a small tray and paid and was gone in a flash! The top bun of the burger was a bit stale, but the sides were hot and that toffee milkshake - WOW! Smiling service from the crew as well. Thanks, folks! I'll surely be back. read more

the service was horrible. there is no ambiance. the food is ass. do not come here moldy burger lllll read more

Cook Out - moldy burger - Burgers Near Me - Auburn, Alabama

First time visit and I'm not disappointed. Was in the area and decided to finally give them a try. Ordered a big double tray, all the way with fries, rings and unsweet tea, The big double wasn't as big as I thought it would be but it was a good burger, slightly crispy charred and loaded with veggies just the way I like. I am NOT a crinkle cut fry guy but these fries were some of, if not the best that I have had, crispy & well seasoned... Cookout might sway me into becoming a crinkle cut person if they keep cooking them like this ! Onion rings were a little over cooked in my opinion, very crispy but so nice and tender on the inside with a beer batter crust taste. Service was great and food was served very fast and you really cant beat what I had for only $8. 10/10 will be back read more

Terrible Service. Waited an hour in the line and the lady at the window was very rude. Would not recommend to anybody.

this was my large coke from cookout the whole thing is just filled with one huge chunk of ice and i wasn't even given a straw either, like they knew there was nothing to drink! and even when i asked for a straw after being given it i was rudely told "there is one in the bag" then slammed the window shut, which there was NOT one in the bag. idk how you can simply mess up a coke of all things, but i'm definitely disappointed to wait in line for 20 minutes for this... read more

MILKSHAKE REVIEW ONLY! While Cook Out's grub has me wary and I have yet to brave it, I figured milkshakes would be a summer-appropriate and safe way of testing out this NC-based chain's abilities. Many of the ~40 options sounded appetizing. I ended up ordering a blueberry milkshake; all flavors are $2.99 each, one size. It wasn't too long before our numbers were called. These milkshakes pass the straw test, being too thick to slurp up, excellent. You'll want to grab a spoon to eat these treats. And maybe a cup of water, though I didn't consider the milkshake extremely saccharine. I appreciated how the shake wasn't a ghastly fake blue hue and how there were real blueberries mixed in. Probably frozen but legit fruit at least. I'll have to inquire next time. I also got to try some of a peanut butter fudge milkshake. Made with real dollops of peanut butter and chocolate syrup, you just cannot resist. Yum. And it's not fudge as though there are pieces of fudge from a candy shop at the beach, just fudge as in hot fudge sundae. There's a big hand-washing station located right by the drink machines. I approve. In addition to booths and tables inside, there were some picnic tables on a patio out front. Not the most scenic view of busy Opelika and University however. The price is certainly right at Cook Out. I predict I'll be back to try more milkshakes like the delightful-sounding Oreo mint. read more

If you are reading a review for cookout, it is probably not the place for you. This place gets the majority of its business between 10 pm and 2 am. The drive-through is pretty unsafe at this time, with insane traffic and confusing lines. The staff gets pretty fed up around this time too and is not very kind around these hours. It is also very likely you will be missing items on a larger order. I have been once earlier in the day and it seems to be a bit smoother of a ride around normal meal times, but the food is still just greasy fast food. From what I've tried, the milkshakes and quesadillas are the best things on the menu, and a Cheerwine to drink always pulls the meal together. I wouldn't say not to go, but don't get your hopes up. This is definitely more for the social experience than the food. read more

Super crappy rude service tonight from the guy taking orders at the window. Was rude and unprofessional.

My son took us by here late at night, letting us know it was an Auburn student favorite. Wow! Now I know why. You can get a ton of food for next to nothing. Shakes were great and my son got a tray full of food for $5. Awesome. read more

Cook Out - Burgers Near Me - Auburn, Alabama

I'm not typically one to leave a place a bad review but this was one of the worst experiences I have had at a fast food restaurant and my standards are pretty low for quick, cheap food. ANYWAY, customer service was awful, staff at the window was incredibly rude and rushed through taking our order and what do ya know, they got it wrong and we had to come inside to have it fixed. Save your money and yourself a headache. read more

Thought I might be able to get a decent quick meal and couldn't have been more disappointed. Their crispy spicy chicken sandwich looked like McDonald's 99 cent chicken sandwich and had a stale bun. The burger patty was thinner than the slice of tomato. The chicken nuggets are not made of real chicken even though the menu says so. read more

$6.52 for my order of cheddar style burger with a side of chili and chicken quesadilla plus an unsweetened iced tea. The charbroil on the burger was delicious and the bacon was yummy even though it wasn't crispy. I had lots of cheese and onions in my burger (which I liked) and it was ooey and gooey and exactly what I hoped it would taste! The side of chili was thick and smoky. It comes in a small container but it's quite dense! As for the chicken quesadilla, I probably will not order that again. It was kind of gross and I can't even assure you that what I ate was chicken (see my photo). The chicken wasn't so much shredded, as much as it was tiny, chewy leftover pieces of who-knows-what. So, I won't order chicken here again. A great bargain for how much you get and the hand-washing station at the front of the restaurant is pretty cool, too! read more

Amazing! The food was great and while the chili seemed small and there weren't a lot of rings together with the burger it was the perfect amount. I got this and a soda for $7. Cheaper and better than a McDonalds meal! read more

Cook Out - Large Cheese Burger, Onion Rings, chili - Burgers Near Me - Auburn, Alabama

Very fast service considering they are extremely busy right now. It's a new spot in Auburn you know everyone is coming out in droves to try out the newest thing. The menu has a good number of options from burgers, to chicken, barbecue, hot dogs, and quesadillas. They also have a huge number of milkshake options (40 or more) so if your feeling one of those I am sure they will have something you will love. I had the Crispy Chicken Cajun wrap and I loved it and if you are into spicy food I would encourage you to try it. I will say that if you are even remotely trying to watch what you are eating this is just not the place for you to go to. There are no salad options and no options for a lettuce wrap instead of a bun on anything. But if that doesn't bother you, and for most people it doesn't, I would definitely encourage you to try this place out. read more

We only got half of our order so we had to go back through the drive through line again because the lobby is closed. Took my burger out of the wrapper and the patty was pitiful. *see picture. None of the food was bad but it wasn't good either. The worker didn't say a word when we pulled up to the window either time.. Won't be a Cook Out customer again. read more

The only thing it like this place because they open until 4AM！！！Wow when I was hungry in the middle of night. They help me. But I hope they can make burgers better. I don't mind paying more for that. read more

Every time I have been here, I have had nothing but great service. The staff are attentive & the food is great.

they have gotten our order right maybe three times. if you don't say the word tray your order will be like 8 dollars more expensive and the workers are not the nicest! read more

I was VERY disappointed in the service we received tonight. When ordering, we got chili fries with a side of ranch and the lady taking our order very rudely shouted "we're out of chili". We gave her the benefit of the doubt because it was over the speaker, but when we got to the window she handed me our bag of food and it was missing the side of ranch. So then we waited for a very long time for her to come back to the window but she was purposefully ignoring us, and then finally came to the window and shouted "We're out of ranch" and SLAMMED the window in our face before we could even ask for a different condiment. So then we proceeded to wait at the window once more to ask for ketchup and she wouldn't come back to the window, purposefully ignoring us once more. Then she threw the ketchup in our hand and SLAMMED the window again. We drove away, appalled at the behavior only to realize we don't have our debit card!! We almost turned around and drove right back, only to find out she threw it in the car when she gave us the ketchup. It was under the seat, thank GOD we found it! read more

I hate to leave a review but I've been in here a few time to keep giving it the benefit of doubt but I will not be back here . I thought this was a Christian restaurant but I've come in multiple times to the lady's here arguing . the blonde lady I got her name (caitlyn) always has an awful attitude as can attest my whole family . Multiple times coming in she's serving nothing but awful looks and dirty glares. Looks like she absolutely does not want to be there. Very unprofessional. I've sat there and waited while the woman up front argued and had bad attitude with somebody else then had an attitude with me and would not give me her name . not to mention our food was hard and my corn dogs and hush puppies were over done. I did not even want to go back and get it fixed. Not very Christian like rude and unprofessional. Edit: I do want to say though the manager is always very nice and was trying to de escalate the situation when made aware . read more

I have been going to Cookout for years in rhe Carolina area. It was great to see then in the Auburn location. The first time I went after they opened it was not a great experience. My last few visits have been much better. The staff is in synch the food is on point and the milkshakes are the best. The combo and assortment of flavours on the shakes are awesome. The front end staff is helpful and professional. The tray is a excellent bargin for the food quantity and quality. The location is clean and outdoor grounds well maintained. It is worth trying if in the area. read more

The burger was overcooked and condiments were not what I ordered. By the way, mustard is not a food group, it should not be the largest thing in a burger, what a mess. When you use poor quality beef maybe the mustard helps kill the flavor. The fries were old and cold. The corn dog was a miniature version that seemed to have been microwaved as it was the consistency of rubber. The coke was good!! Overall I tossed the burger after a bite and threw away the rest, drove to Freddys and got a real burger. Don't waste your time & money, drive past and get a good meal elsewhere. This was the first time I tried a Cook Out, is the last as it isn't worth a second chance. read more

service was awful. the workers were very rude to us. i also told them my order 5 times and they still got it wrong. i said BLT sandwich over and over and they gave me a plain burger... do not recommend whatsoever. read more

A lot of food for the price. Fresh ingredients. Slightly above average quality and taste, similar taste to what the food you would have at a good cookout at your home. Fast service. Much better than McDonald's or Burger King. read more

Cook Out is an affordable, filling, and fried meal. You won't have to spend much to fill yourself up with classic "easy meals" like hotdogs, burgers, quesadillas, corndogs, bbq sandwiches, and more. Just $5 nets you an entree, two "sides", and a drink. I recommend the quesadillas, the cook out rounds, and the corndogs. I haven't had anything bad from here though, and the service is always fast. As for the "Cook Out Sauce" for something similar to a "special sauce" like Zaxby's or Guthrie's has. Gave it 5 stars because it is exactly what it sets out to be. A fast, cheap, filling meal of classic go-tos. read more

Cheap, mediocre fast food with a huge variety of pretty good milkshakes. Avoid the drive through if you go when it's busy...it is insanely slow. If you do decide to do the drive through, make sure you stay on the inside lane. read more

I went here with my family for dinner. We received our food fast and it was delicious and it was so much food. We got the $4.99 special which comes with a main item, two sides and a drink. I would recommend this place to eat and will be going back. read more

Food is okay for the price but the staff is the worst. I asked where my drink was and they literally yelled that I never ordered one in the rudest way possible. It was printed on my receipt! Never got an apology and it ruined the whole experience. Owners should invest in training for their employees on common courtesy. read more

Server was very rude in the drive thru line. They were out of soda, any ice cream, and sweet tea. How are you out of every single drink?! Every time we asked for an alternative drink she got more rude. I would recommend getting staff whose "pleasure it actually is" to serve you. read more

Cook out is always my go-to when everywhere else is closed at night. Although the line is always so long and the service is slow, the prices cannot be beat when it comes to a cheap burger, quesadilla, tendies, or shakes. Have not been here in a while, but I am about to make a visit. I will edit my review with my thoughts. Edit: I was the only car in like somehow, got my shake SO fast. 10/10 experience tonight. Over all my visits, 4 stars read more

Very nasty. Low quality ingredients, patties looked like someone bit parts of it, cheese tasted like melted plastic. Save yourself the disappointed. Never thought I'd say this but the McDonalds across the street is way better read more

This review is written after several repeated poor experiences at this CookOut location. First of all, TURN THE FREAKIN MUSIC DOWN. You are a fast food location, not a nightclub. Literally painful. Second, put someone at the counter who has a clue. Twice, I had to go back and ask them to finish filling my order. Nethier time was I given everything that I paid for. Third, customer service is non existent. Staff acts as though serving customers is a burden. Hey CookOut, anybody wonder why your business has dropped off so much? It's because this location offers a poor atmosphere and is totally lacking in customer service. This was my LAST visit!! read more

Cheep bad food is what this place is. I had seen then popping up everywhere so we gave it a try. It was bad. From the smoke filling up the dining area to the lack of customer service to the bad tasting food we will not be back. I ordered the BBQ sandwich and it was not edible I believe the meat was old and bad. But I guess what can you expect for cheep food prices. read more

Long story short we got rushed through/yelled at in the drive through by the guy working register while nobody was behind or in front of us in line like it was a massive inconvenience that we dared to breathe the same air as him, got cut off in the middle of ordering and told to pull through, had the window slammed in our face twice while we tried to finish our order, and to top it all off we were not given about $8 worth of our order. Honestly should be an embarrassment to the company but a place that sells 2 dollar quesadillas probably doesn't have a lot of pride to begin with. read more
