    Not impressed with the gentleman on the intercom- please retrain him
    Tiffany B.

    This is not the location we normally frequent but it was in route. The gentleman taking the orders on Saturday night was very rude and abrupt. The food was hot and the window staff were pleasant.

    The person at the window was pleasant and nice, no problems in this arena. Now the food . They gave me a small portion of fries, slaw was bland and the bbq chicken sándwich was okay. My friends husband puppies were overcooked. This was my first time at a Cook Out and probably my last.

    Drive thru order. Nice employees, and quick service. :-) So many milkshakes and entrees to choose from. You just have to decide what you would like to eat First time at Cook out, and I didn't really like it but my husband and son said their food was decent. The chili was horrible, so I tossed it in the trash. My cheeseburger was ok, and the fries were good. My son had hush puppies, a cheese burger and fries. He said it was decent. But he really liked the hush puppies. My husband had a double cheeseburger, onion rings, and a corn dog. He said the cheeseburger was seasoned well, but the corndog was blah. Next time I'll get a milkshake and fries if I decide to eat here again.

    This cookout location is always on point. They are normally a little busy but atleast you know the food isn't sitting around

    Nuggets

    The nuggets were dry warm and hard! Very disappointed. On the go I couldn't turn around.

    What's supposed to be a southern style burger
    Ryan D.

    Absolute garbage! Cook-out used to be a staple of good food at a good price. This "burger" should have been southern style but it's piled high with bacon and eggs.

    The late night crew is angry, slow, and rude. I think I will skip these lazy kids and go somewhere else from now on. No reason to get paid to be this slow.

    A Charlotte institution, Brooks has been serving tasty burgers, hot dogs and fries from a red-brick…read moreroadside kitchen in NoDa since 1973. And their recipe for success is pretty simple: fresh, honestly made food served hot, and with a smile. There's no indoor seating (and not much outdoors, for that matter), limited parking, and no booze, but the chili cheeseburger, served in a wax paper wrap and dripping with greasy flavor, is a quintessential Queen City experience. Service was fast and friendly, and you can enjoy your meal at a covered picnic table or (as we did) in your car. I wouldn't say Brooks makes the city's 'best burger' (much less 'the World's,' as the sign claims), but its homemade goodness will remind you of simpler days, when it was a lot easier to find reliably tasty comfort food at a reasonable price. Definitely worth a visit from anywhere in Charlotte.

Yet, Brooks is famous for the chili and the slaw is good. My friend had the smoked sausage sandwich,said it was great. The potato wedge fries are fried crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. This one of my childhood local spots still great food. It is a sandwich shop order at outside window without any real seating but still well worth it

Too many choices. Just red something simple, delicious, and contorting. But who? Enter QCBC. It's getting late. I'm hungry. And I want something simple. And honestly, The Alley is really hyper confusing. So I pull into QCBC just looking for a burger and a beer. And dayum!! Did they deliver!!! First...my bartender comes in super cool. She explains the menu and recommends a beer. I keep it simple...the QCBC Burger with provolone and fries. She recommends the Kolsch. I'm in!! Long story short...perfection!!! The burger is cooked exact to spec. The fries are crispy, seasoned and delicious, and the beer is a pitch-perfect match. Faith restored!!! I was skeptical going in. Walking out...full, happy, and looking forward to the next time I can settle up to the bar and enjoy another perfect burger and a beer experience. Seriously kids...hit it out of the park!!!

They both were tasty. The hot dog was big and juicy and well dressed. They air fry all their traditionally fried. That's probably my only complaint. I prefer fried food to be fried in oil, but that's my preference. We also tried the brisket and pulled chicken (sorry I forgot to take a picture). They were also good. Everything was served hot and fresh. I'm a condiment girl and they have five bbq sauces: Original, Mississippi, Kansas, Memphis, and Sweet and Tangy. We actually liked all of them between the two of us. Here are a few more highlights and reasons for you to stop in and check them out. 1. Plenty of parking including a ramp for accessibility. 2. They have Ax Throwing. It's not traditional axe throwing, they use a screen. They also have other fun games including Tic-Tac-Toe and a Candy Crush like game. It's also affordable. It was $10 per person/hr. We stopped in on a Monday afternoon before 5:00pm. 3. They have a few fun things on their menu including corn nuggets, fried pickles, pineapple upside down cake, and a sampler where you can try a little bit of everything. 4. The staff (Ron and Shawn) was very friendly and thoroughly explained the menu. They also chatted with us since they were not too busy and made sure we had all we needed to enjoy our meal. 5. They have over 20 taps with a variety of beer. They also have beer specials during football season. Stop in and visit Crave for a taste of Carolina and a little family fun.

Ambiance was nice and they did have samples of their popular dishes. I order the brisket Sammy which has sliced brisket, Kansas BBQ sauce, coleslaw and pickles (which i didn't add). Sammy was perfect. Brisket was easy pull apart and they don't skimp on slaw and sauce. Need to return to try more items, but today's choice was a 10/10.
