    My food was good--Cook Out always hits when you're craving something fast and filling. That said, they tend to skimp on the double fries, so I always ask for extra to make sure I get my money's worth. Pro tip: speak up if you want a full fry box!

    Raw chicken

    They gave us raw chicken , didn't even have sympathy when we drove back around and showed them. Then instead of giving us a fresh tray , they just replaced the raw chicken which had touched over the fries and everything .

    Not a milkshake!!!! Ice cream? Was unable to drink it!

    Why oh why? Cookout is one of the Best Fast food joints EVER! But this one is the worst! Where are the adults running the show? So young, not personable and flat out RUDE! They dropped one of our whole trays on the ground(seen by my eyes) and came back with it in less than 2 mins later no Apology! And asked if I could add a drink as I forgot to order one and told me NO, you can't add anything at the window! Milkshake unable to drink, more like ice cream you need a spoon to eat. 20 mins in car still not able to drink like a milkshake! Still Wondering if I ate the food off the ground? Management? HELP!

    A small burger should NOT look like a breakfast sausage patty!

    I was disappointed with my trip to Cookout today! Chili dog with burnt chili! Burger! I ordered a small burger with double fries. Where is my second order of fries? The bacon burger with double fries order, we're still looking for the rest of the bacon! I called the number on the cup, 1-866-547-0011, only to get voicemail

    a bacon and egg sandwich with fries

    I've came here 4 times in a row to have BLT sandwiches. Each time I asked for lite mayo, instead I get no tomato and lettuce

    Are you in the mood for a burger? Maybe you want chicken nuggets? Or maybe you are in the mood for a quesadilla? No a corn dog. Let me blow your mind. You can a burger and get a two sides and they can be nuggets or quesadilla or a corn dog or other typical sides of fries, onion rings, slaw or hushpuppies. Okay maybe not so mind blowing for people who grew up with a Cook Out but for someone who relocated from the West Coast, I had never seen such a thing. For around $4 you can get a tray and choose from burgers, bbq sandwich or whatever and have a great meal. I can actually feed my family of 3 for around $12 and that makes me very happy. I love their pork bbq sandwiches. They have a simple blt sandwich for a $1 and that makes my belly happy too. Their shakes are killer too. Fast food eats on a very affordable budget.

    Slow slow slow. Three cars in other line went ahead while I am still sitting in line. Very little cheddar bites as a side. Also had to ask for my tea, then ask for a straw and napkins.

    new fries

    I'm a semi regular at this cookout and sad to say tonight I went and was disappointed these fries suck! I don't know if y'all downgraded to something cheaper but please bring back the regular fries these ones are not it!

    Kimberly M.

    This is what i got age. I ordered a hotdog made cheddar style no mayo I'm so disappointed I see why there was no line

    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.

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.
