    CookOut Boone The fastest Drive-thru experience, we got 2 milkshakes, a double chocolate and peanut butter fudge and a hotdog. Amazing speed service The milkshakes consistency is perfect and delicious also the hotdog is filled with maximum toppings. We should get more of these often!! 1179 Blowing Rock Rd, Boone, NC 28607 daily 10.30AM - 3.30PM Fri-Sat 10.30AM - 4.30PM between $1-$10 per person ℹ cookout.com #cookout #cookoutboonenc #preservefootprints

    Low key love this cookout but today Im giving them 1 star bc wdym I drove 30 mins for specifically a milkshake and you only fill it up this much. BROTHA

    Menu!

    Great service and good every time. I added an updated menu and prices. I love the CheerWine

    Great food! I would consider myself a cookout regular and this is some of the best tonight!

    This is a rat poop looking thing in my drink

    We got 3 milk shakes and they all had pieces of Styrofoam in them that we chew on. The other one had like a rat shit looking hard piece in it. Very unappetizing don't recommend

    Chicken bone

    Not bad if you area into Dairy Queen. Very inexpensive, but you get what you pay for. every tasted good, I got the 5.25 meal. Seems to be the local kid hangout. I also got a chocolate milk shake, one of the best I ever had. You can't sit and eat there, so either do the drive through or be prepared to eat standing up. I will go back but with different expectations, basically fast food

    *updating to 4 stars! I meant to do this originally. The only thing that docked a star for me was seating and seasoning on the burger :) My brother in law recommended we try this spot out and we were excited about the concept. You can order what's called a "tray" and they are only five bucks. It comes with an entree and two sides as well as drink. You can upgrade your drink to a milk shake for a buck which we did. I got the quarter pound burger with bacon cheese lettuce and mayo, and onion rings and cole slaw. Over all it was pretty good! The milk shake was amazing - I opted for peanut butter fudge. They had a lot of really great options for milkshakes. I wish the burger had better seasoning. I do like that it was better than fast food quality. I got a side of the Cookout Sauce to dip my onion rings in and it was so good! I ended up using the rest for my sandwich. This place isn't somewhere you eat inside. You can drive through or walk up and order. The service was quick and they were busy. My only complaint is that they had benches but no tables. I learned this is the norm for Cookouts but it would have been nice to eat inside rather than our car. We would come

    Hush puppies: Duh, yes please. (I mean NO ONE else does drive through hushpuppies!) Mint chocolate chip shake: Who can say no? (Best Drive-Thru shake you'll ever have with that many options) Two drive through lines: You are so kind! (All the better to wrangle the riled up onslaught of college hormones) Open late: How did you know I would need you so?! (Suck it Mcy D's) In n Out, please meet Cook Out, your almost-as-good-looking southern cousin. Let's all be friends and call each other Sue!!

    Come Back Shack is a fast food restaurant. But it is different than what you think of fast food…read more The original Boone location has a drive-thru and both indoor and outdoor seating. My burger was delicious and above and beyond any fast-food burger I have had before, at comparable prices. They serve grass-fed beef, chuck, round and sirloin. It is fresh, not frozen, and the meats are without hormones. My portion of fries was large, and I couldn't finish them. A smaller portion option would have been nice. I found the setup here confusing, as I wasn't sure where to enter from the parking lot, and then I wasn't sure where to order. Ordering is done at the kiosk or via a QR code. So expect a wait for the kiosk. I use kiosks and apps often, but this particular system was not smooth. I found the kiosk not as easy to use as it should have been; after I selected what I wanted, there was no way to get to the next screen to check out. I went with the build-your-own and was also disappointed that tomatoes weren't an option to add to the burger, but maybe they were out. They are a cashless business. When your order is ready, it is placed on a front cart, while drinks and sauces are self-serve. If I return, I will likely stick to the drive-thru, as that seems to be a much smoother ordering experience. Having a real person take your order and hand you everything you need at the window beats fighting with the kiosk inside.

But I wiggled my vehicle into a tight spot and went in for a burger and a beer. I believe there were about 10 to 12 options available on tap, and I went with what was listed as an Irish stout from somewhere in the Northeast. It wasn't bad, though it seemed more like an imperial stout. My sandwich choice was the Cowboy, with ground elk at its core. It was a good choice too, and the accompanying fried onions and melted cheese complemented the meat well. I ordered the burger medium, but I think I'd go for medium rare if I could go back in time. The medium option wasn't bad, but I think a little less heat and a little more moisture would only make things better. I kept things simple with the side item, going for the fries which were of the thinly sliced McDonald's variety, not bad but nothing remarkable. The server covering my table was pleasant and prompt, though soft spoken so I occasionally had to ask her to repeat herself amidst the music and noise. I wouldn't call any of these selections a bargain, but the prices didn't veer too far from what you'll find in many burger joints. All in all, not an earthshaking experience, but a place I'd be willing to go back to. 3.5 stars.

Tonight was a final straw moment for me; the employee at the front of the line told me that other than fajita veggies and chicken al pastor, they had every item in stock (as locals know, this is rare for the Boone location to not be out of at least 1-3 items regularly). After building my bowl and getting to the end of the line I asked for chips and a side of guac, at which point the employee building my bowl was informed by a coworker that they had no tortilla chips (didn't address me or apologize in any form). The chips and guacamole are one of the most pleasant experiences about a chipotle restaurant, so I was disappointed that the employee building my bowl did not even make the effort to ensure they had the ingredient or try to make it right. They also didn't address this fact other than asking me "so, do you still want your side of guacamole?" Don't waste your time going to this location, you'd be better off, driving to the next nearest one which is 40+ miles away, where they can manage to keep simple items like chicken, guacamole, and peppers in stock (not to mention the Boone location is next to a Walmart). If the franchise owner has any pride or human dignity left in their sorry sack of bones, they would to keep standards up. I think this location needs a serious evaluation and the owner should be ashamed that they would dare call this a "restaurant", as nothing here resembles customer service or even basic human kindness. Do better Chipotle franchise management.
