I went last night and got a cheerwine float with a side of cheese bites and it was delicious! The guy at the drive through window was very patient with me while I looked at the menu and answered all of my questions very knowledgeably, thanks Mateo! Definitely will come back, great spot to get some fried food after a long day. read more

My son and I were visiting from out of town and decided to grab food from Cook Out. The drive-thru was fast, which was great. I ordered a spicy chicken sandwich with chicken nuggets, hush puppies, and Cajun cheese fries. My son ordered a double cheeseburger with nothing on it, fries, and chicken nuggets. We also asked for honey mustard and barbecue sauce for the nuggets. When we got back to our hotel, we were disappointed to find only three small nuggets in the tray and no barbecue sauce. While the sandwiches were good and they did give us honey mustard and some type of special sauce we didn't care for, the biggest letdown was the Cajun cheese fries. There was no Cajun seasoning at all, and the cheese tasted terrible--like it came from an old can with a chemical or off taste. The cheese was so bad I had to throw the whole order of fries in the trash. Overall, while the sandwiches were decent, the missing items and terrible cheese fries made this a disappointing experience. read more

Cook Out - Toxic Cheese - Fast Food Near Me - Blacksburg, Virginia

It is what it is, late-night fast food. It's available and it's cheap.i enjoyed the hot dog.

This is my go to late night spot. It would be rated however the price of a tray has steadily gone up unfortunately. Food: Tray - double cheese burger and chicken quesadilla with cajun fries is the only way to go. Their cheerwine is always super fresh. There are a billion combinations of shakes that you can get too and none of them taste bad. Service: Quick and fast service. Ambiance: Messy inside however spacious. Extra: Getting pricier for the food you get. read more

REVIEW IS ONLY FOR COOK OUT'S SEASONAL WATERMELON SHAKE (only available July - August!!!) - mmmm mmmmm goooooood!! I had driven by Cook Out and saw the sign for their Watermelon Shake and just HAD to try it, it sounded so good! And it did not disappoint! Thick, rich and creamy but not too thick that you needed a spoon to enjoy it. Just the right consistency to drink through a straw with LOADS OF CRUSHED WATERMELON IN THE SHAKE AND TONS OF WATERMELON FLAVOR. Went through the drive thru and that was the only thing I ordered. $4, one size - WORTH IT. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! read more

Cook Out - Fast Food Near Me - Blacksburg, Virginia

You get a lot of food and it's cheap. That's what Cookout is. Don't expect anything more and you'll walk out satisfied. Also, do NOT come here late at night unless you want to wait for 30 minutes in the drive thru line. Staff has been nothing but helpful and they have never messed up my order in the tens of times I've been here during my time at Tech. read more

The manager working there is not very smart. So their machine broke and they can't do credit cards. They only take cash. Me and I think most normal people usually bring just their card and or their phones. I ask if they take Zelle or cash app bcuz I really wanted food it was late night it's the only place opened and I can't really cook because my roommates. The workers said no, I don't blame them since they are not responsible for the restaurant and I'm like can I just pay manager Zelle or cash app and he use his cash to pay my meal. Still nope. I really wonder either they just don't give a damn or that they can't comprehend simple trade. What's upsetting is that I came from long hours of study for an exam early next day. And now I spend 30 minutes of time for nothing and I have to spend another hr to cook my meal and annoy my roommates late late night read more

So much food! Prices were reasonable and my teenaged son was actually able to fill up on a single meal instead of having to order 2. If you're a fan of onion rings, do a double order because a single order contains about 4. Make sure to get a shake! read more

I ordered a burger tray and this is what I got after I went in and told them they got my order wrong he was trying to charge me for their mistake.. said that I ordered a jr hamburger like really???

Cook Out - Nasty hamburger - Fast Food Near Me - Blacksburg, Virginia

Blacksburg VA: I'm sorry but if a fast food has their hours posted, i believe they are obligated to abide to them. This is not the first time ive been told the store is closed way past due time and i have personally worked fast food and certaintly have been required to serve till last minute read more

I really used to enjoy this location but now the newer employees are rude and cheated me out of money when THEY messed up my order. The order could've easily been fixed before they swiped my card. read more

me and one of my friends came in and ordered a tray and for our sides we asked for a chicken wrap and when we got it they gave us a cajun wrap instead i went back up there to get a new one and the lady in the back yelled for a cajun with no cheese and i said no i just want a chicken wrap with no cheese and she told me that it was different in the back compared to up front which she was rude about and when we got it it looked the same as the other one i'm assuming it's cajun cause it was spicy. read more

Cook Out - Fast Food Near Me - Blacksburg, Virginia

Can I give a negative -1000 stars. I waited for 2 hours because the first time they didn't take my order because I went to the window because no one took our order. Once I drove away yall wana take my order BS then yall close at 4:30 while are your light off before 3:55 and hour workers are leaving. I get you are tired and I get you have her a long day but so have many students that are waiting for food. I find that really disrespectful and dismissive to customers that were going to pay. read more

Cook Out - Walkin tacos!!! - Fast Food Near Me - Blacksburg, Virginia

So I came to this cookout tonight at 2:50am and according to the sign on the door and drive-thru they don't close til 3:30. All the lights were on but when we pulled up to the drive-thru sign no one would answer us so we pulled up to the drive-thru window a employee was sitting in the window and she looked straight at us smirked and then a minute later after never having answered the window she proceeded to take the stand of cups and put them in the window in front of us. I have never experienced such rude behavior in my life and will be contacting corporate about what happened! This cookout is horrible and the fact that they will just close whenever they fill like it is incomprehensible. read more

I will preface by saying that I rarely write a Yelp review nor do I ever rate this low, but this had to be said, no one should have hair baked into their food. I tried to call the restaurant and no response, but the corporate number was very helpful. The food tasted good but the extra ingredient was disgusting. read more

Idk how this place cannot get 5 stars. Was the ribeye medium instead of medium rare? Joking aside, get a jr tray with a burger, Cajun fries, and a chicken wrap. Their other sides are a little small for my gluttonous appetite(looking at you cheese curds, onion rings, hush puppies, quesadilla). Anyway, the service is fast and friendly. You can even get a slice of cheesecake(don't forget to get a milkshake topping on it like caramel or chocolate syrup). The burgers are great for fast food burgers. This is hands down the best fast food place in Blacksburg. Sorry Taco Bell, maybe if you didn't break my heart and remove every item we love you'd be higher in the rankings! read more

I will never eat here again!! got my money back!!! gave me a half of a patty on hamburger!!

Delicious milkshakes, long line sometimes but toatally worth it for killer food and milkshakes.

Delicious banana shakes, all varieties are so good. Place is usually packed even at 11 pm, so just be warned, but line goes pretty quickly.

Good food, Hot food, Fresh food, extremely fast considering the place was pack with college kids. Super Dooper yummy and if you are on a budget even better. Can't beat the prices! Highly recommend this place!!! read more

The food definitely beats McDonald's imo. Can't believe I got a double patty with 2 sides for $5.49! Wow!! Food tastes better when you're getting a good deal so even though it was pretty good for fast food, it tasted better because of how cheap it was ~haha. We went at 1am so I was not expecting anything spectacular but boy, their service was incredibly quick! Each time I heard the cashier say a new number indicating an order was ready for pickup from the counter, I wanted to say "BINGO!" because 1) I was ravenous 2) he had a bingo announcer voice. I didn't like how they hide all the sauces behind the counter and the tables weren't wiped down. Coleslaw - bland and virtually flavorless Fries - warm, soft, and just the right amount of salt Burger - patties were well done, but tasted better in the morning for some reason Milkshake - GET IT! Can't go wrong (unless you're trying to drink it with a straw, then you're absolutely wrong). Unlike some other milkshakes out there, this one is thick and as close to soft serve ice cream as a milkshake can get. read more

I mean if I could give this place no stars at all, I definitely would. They have the absolute WORST customer service and management I have encountered as far as fast food goes. Better off taking a trip to Radford Cookout even if you live in the Blacksburg area, it'd be worth not having to deal with this place or these people if you don't have to. read more

Hamburger or spicy chicken? My cook out dilemma! But always say yes to their shakes and Cajun fries! I've only tried 3 flavors for their shakes and so far my fav is banana triple berry. If you wanna play a prank on friend, tell them pineapple is bomb diggity. And my tray of the night! I ended up choosing spicy chicken. So good and so cheap! For any freshman of their sides, quesadilla and bacon(LT) wrap are warm and comfy. Chili.. ehhh.. read more

Final update. I wrote my first review about 3 years ago, and I keep coming back for the food. However, I can no longer stand by even having a two star review of this place. The facts is the way they treat customers here is just unacceptable, and there's no another way to put it. At this point I don't have anything more to say, and I've given up on the service here. read more

Cookout is a college kids heaven. This particular cookout opened when I was in college and it helped out my stomach/my mom's budget for me.Monday nights and Sunday nights are the worst for the drive thru- it can legit take an hour to get your food. But lets talk about the deal: 5$ for a main, 2 sides, and for another small fee, a drink or a milkshake. You can legit get a burger, 2 quesadillas, and fries and a shake for around $6. Most of the food quality is legit, only thing I didn't like was their pulled pork. Burgers are great, quesadillas are good, fries with the cajun seasoning deserve a reward, and um 40 different milkshake flavors? Sign me up! read more

Pros: -quick service -more than enough food for the price -variety of food -clean (including the bathroom) -respectful service Cons: -a bit warm inside -no lemonade :( Overall, had a great experience here. Great food, service, and atmosphere. Would come back to eat again! Go Hokies! read more

Food taste great, service is a good, cook my food in a good amount of time. Sometimes they can't hear what I say clearly and make an error on my meal but they fix it I like the $5 tray deals, it's great! read more

This cookout is always busy but so worth it. They're fast and very nice. Highly recommended

I stopped into this Cookout when I was in town for the Tech-UNC game in late November. My friend and I were looking around for a place to grab a quick bite before heading over to a friend's house. I suggested cookout and off we went. We found parking easily enough and headed inside. There wasn't much of a line and when we got to the front our orders were taken quickly. We got our sodas which were extremely fresh and waited for our food to be ready. Not two minutes later both of our orders came out at the same time. The food was well prepared (not just thrown together quickly) and tasted great. Everything seemed like it was made to order - which is a lot more than can be said for a lot of fast food restaurants. I would definitely recommend visiting this Cookout when heading through Blacksburg. read more

I was a huge fan of the Cookout chain in North Carolina. Every time, I visited my friends at Wake Forest I would make it a point to go. This morning, my fiance and I were really feeling milkshakes for lunch so we decided to go to the new Cookout in Blacksburg and split a tray. Unfortunately, it just wasn't as good as I remember it being in North Carolina. You get a ton of food for under $5 but that's about it. We got 2 hotdogs, hushpuppies, chili, and two shakes. (Yep... this is a STANDARD order - no wonder why America is obese). The hotdogs were disgusting. They had been boiled and then thrown on the flat top for 2 seconds so it was just a greasy mess. I asked for them plain, but mine came drenched in mustard making it completely inedible. The side of chili? Completely tasteless. The saving grace of the meal were the hushpuppies. The milkshakes were just ok. They were so thick we couldn't even drink them. Even more annoying is their order pick-up. They give you things in stages. You don't get your whole meal at once. First we were given our food and then we had to get up two separate times to get our milkshakes. It was just very chaotic with them calling a million numbers every 2 seconds. They should just give you everything at one time even if you have to wait just a little longer. That said, I woudln't recommend this fast food joint to anyone. It's just not very good. I probably wouldn't go back either. read more

Cheap, relatively fast-food, and tasty! GET THE TRAY. The tray offers a meal for only $5!! You can pick an entree, two sides, and a drink. If you want to upgrade the drink to a milkshake, it only costs $1 more. The shakes are really "hearty". They can fill you up and replace a meal on its own. The food is also really good for the price you pay. I definitely recommend all VT students try out cook-out if you ever find yourself on a tight budget. read more

I guess I'll be the first to review Cook-Out: the Blacksburg edition. Since this place opened up fairly recently, the masses just keep piling in to this small fast food joint, lining up the full length of the building. The employees are still getting used to things, as I deduced from the girl that had a little trouble taking my order. Nevertheless, the food prep was lightning fast. I literally took a seat and then my number was called. I ordered a "Cook-Out Tray" which I customized to consist of a pulled-pork barbecue sandwich, cajun fries, a corndog, and a Snickers milkshake. All for a total of around $5.69, which was a tad of an up charge compared to the menu photos that are often passed around on the internet. The food was just okay, in relation to typical fast food; the cajun fries and shake were probably the main highlights of my meal. That being said, there is no denying the value of Cook-Out, its large menu, and its infamous "tray" offering. Welcome to Blacksburg! Note: AMEX is not an accepted form of payment. read more

Great value! For only $4.69 you can get a Cook Out tray which consists of a main entree (chicken sandwich, chicken strips, burger, etc...), 2 sides, and a drink. The best part, though, is you can upgrade to one of their milkshakes for only $1. Although it's always very busy, the line goes by quickly and the food comes out in no time. If you're going during a popular time, though, don't expect to find a table because there aren't enough for the crowd that comes in during peak hours. All in all, though, this is a perfect fit for a college town since you get lots of good food for just around 5 bucks. I have yet to try their coffee, but everything (including cappuccinos, lattes, and frappes) seems to be under $2, which is much cheaper than anywhere else in town. read more

Always a good experience! Even when they're rushed they take the time to make sure your order is right. I love to add two milkshake flavors together and they never give me problems about it! read more

Was my favorite place to eat. Went today, and got double fries with my tray. Turns out not only did they raise the price of the trays, the cut the amount of sides given in half! The amount of food is not worth the $7 now. After years of going, I will not be returning. Really disappointed. read more
