My daughter's friend recommended this place for fast food place while we were in the Raleigh area. It's a drive thru or walk up only. You can get an entree, two sides and a drink for $6.99. We had burgers, fries, cheese curds and a quesadilla and enjoyed everything. The burgers were freshly grilled griddle burgers. Very good.

Simple burger with mustard.

Seen these Cookout places all over Virginia and NC. I happen to have one next to me, so I stopped in to check it out for the 1st time. The food is simple and good.

Veggie sandwich
Jay P.

NOT vegetarian friendly! I read somewhere that this was comparable (or even better) than In n Out in the West Coast, and boy, that could not be further from the truth. In fact, Taco Bell, Subway, McDonalds or Burger Kind might be better for vegetarians. The vegetarian options were almost all poor quality and bland. The fries had nice flavoring but were soggy, and the veggie hush puppies were okay I guess - more like mini bread sticks/bites. The cheese quesadilla was nicely loaded with cheese but had no flavoring (Taco Bell does it better, honestly). Most of all, their veggie sandwich was pathetic; there were no pickles, or onions, but one lettuce leaf and one tomato; it could have been Wonder bread with mayo and cheese and I wouldn't have known the difference. Very, very poor. My suggestion for vegetarians (if plant based stuff aren't options) are to load up the vegetables and make an effort with the flavorings. 1.5/5.

Only 3 chicken nuggets in the regular "Tray" / disappointing.

8:45p Friday night - lines were a little long (but that leads me to think food will be hot and ready). Sadly mistaken. Order was: Regular (not "junior") tray; double burger, with chicken nuggets and onion rings as my two sides. Asked the girl what she liked on the menu (because I like to try different things) and she replied the corn dog. Ordered one as a side. I ended up getting only 3 (?!) chicken nuggets, and the onion rings weren't even crispy and were flavorless. Waste of time and lackluster food experience there. Spend your money at McDonald's instead.

two trays of food on a picnic table

My first Cook Out experience and it did not disappoint! If you're a first timer like me, be sure to look up the menu ahead of time because there are SO many options and combos. If I decided at the drive thru, I probably would have panicked and just ordered anything. Speaking of the drive thru, there are two lanes but the structure is weird because for one of them, the audio is on the passenger side. Makes me wonder how one would order if they were driving alone. We each ordered a tray and I had the double cheeseburger with fries, chili, and a cheer wine (also my first time - reminds me of a cherry Dr. Pepper). Everything was up to typical fast food standard. The chili was pretty good especially when using it to dip fries. We ordered 4 trays in total for everybody and our order was correct. It's fast and it's cheap but definitely not something to be eating too often. Definitely a once in a while treat. I also didn't feel TOO greasy after. I tried some of my husband's strawberry shake and it was way too sweet for me. FYI - This location does not have any seating (I'm not sure if others do) so we took it to a park nearby that had some picnic tables.

cheese bites

I mean look at the cheese bites. That lazy to wait 3-4 mins for some fresh ones. I know it's fast food but wow. Worst cookout in the immediate area by far. Lost my appetite and wasted money for a disgusting meal. Pitiful.

Fries were bland. "Chicken" quesadilla was stocked with cheese only. Burger was delicious, and blueberry milkshake (not pictured) also tasted very good. Cheap and good (at least for the burger and fries)

Cheese?

Not sure how you make this mistake...order a side of the quesadilla sauce and get a full cup of nacho cheese instead...

"Chicken ranch wrap" ...where is the chicken??
Parker R.

Drove to cookout, went through the drive through and ordered 2 chicken ranch wraps. I must say this is a poor excuse for for a wrap to begin with if you look at the pictures below provided. If you do not like your job then quit nobody forced you to work there, do not make other people suffer because you feel like being lazy and don't want to be at work. You would think a chicken ranch wrap would come with chicken... apparently not. Over the years I've ordered from here about 25 times and about 5 times I've actually gotten the correct order. I would rate 0 stars if I could.

Always a must stop when I fly back into North Carolina. Just truly the best place to get sweet tea after I've been gone.

Yum! Great food fast! Don't expect your order to be perfect, so don't get super specific when ordering.

Very first experience. I was a little nervous because it felt too much like chipotle. But the…read moreflavor profile is completely different. The food tastes fresher it is full of flavor. And those pita chips...10/10! You gotta ask for a fresh chips it's amazing! I also enjoyed their different drink offerings the cucumber mint is my favorite. Service was great. The gentleman who made my first salad was very helpful, he knew his product, he made helpful suggestions which made my first experience 100/100! I wish I had gotten his name. The atmosphere gives chipotle vibes. I'm not sure if I'm crazy about it. But the food was great it super exceeded my expectations.

First let me say, my family loves Cava. This review is not about cava. It's about this Walnut st…read moreCava in Cary. Let me just enumerate all the problems in our single visit yesterday: 1. The service was apathetic, slow and rude to everyone 2. One guy dropped an object into the rice and just pulled it out like nothing happened 3. All of the toppings and the proteins were almost completely gone, except for some dried up chicken and completely burnt lamb meatballs. 4. Another guy decided that because they were so low on one of the toppings that he couldn't get his enough on a spoon, decided to reach in there and just use his hand to scoop out the toppings and dump it into the bowl. 5. The guy at the register was yelling at us to make sure we had all the details for our order before we had even finished the order so that he could conveniently ring us up. "You guys getting avocado??! Drinks?! What proteins?!" 6. One of the guys barked at my daughter for pointing at one of the toppings and daring to touch the safety glass. 7. I found my pita just sitting at the bottom of the bag loose when I got home. 8. Multiple loud bangs of large pans falling to the ground That will be the last time we go there. I found a new place that's identical to Cava called Farmside Kitchen.
