    Trash on floor and table
    Marta W.

    Horrible!!! Went to drive-thru window at 6:50pm on a Sunday. The speaker was incredibly loud and garbled and the employee was hard to understand. Told him I was going to drive up to the window and he ignores me!! I had to ask him twice if he would take my order..he stares at me. I drove around to the parking lot and go inside. It's worse!! Trash flowing out of the trashcans, trash on the floor. Took pictures as proof. Went to counter to order and employee was rude! Placed order and she hands it to us..no thank you or any pleasantry. Went to car to eat...food was mediocre at best. What happened to this place? Who's in charge?? Just terrible....

    Employee parking in both handicapped spots

    Took forever to even get someone to come to the counter to take our order. The guy didn't say a single word. He just stood in front of the cash register and that's it. No greeting, no reading our order back, didn't tell the total, nothing. We waited almost 30 minutes for our food. Meanwhile we saw car after car after car go thru the drive thru getting their food and there were only 3 of us. When we finally got our food, 2 out of 3 orders were incorrect. They are not known for large portions, but only 3 onion rings? Really? And the amount of onion in the burger was more than the meat. We had been to this location before and someone was parked sideways in the 2 handicapped spots. We thought it was a one off situation but this time was the same thing. Is this what the employees think is acceptable?

    Look like it was just balled up in the aluminum foil rather than wrapped.

    Had the BBQ sandwich Cajun fries and a cherry cheesecake milkshake The BBQ sandwich was balled up in the aluminum foil. Cajon fries were just regular fries and the milkshake it was was good. when ever I have a first time bad experience at a location. I don't go back ever.

    No damn cheese! There like 10 fries

    Shitty af chicken was burnt in my quesadilla and look at these mf fries! I been to cook out before but not around here, this some skimpy shi

    Cajun Fries

    Oh man... Usually I love cookout to death. Going to eat there is something I look forward to very much. It's one of those rare food places I just am HAPPY to eat at. It's very filling and tasty fast food for cheap prices. However, my most recent visit with my girlfriend left us both very disappointed. You can look at the pictures I took - In the first picture we have my Cajun fries ruined with WAY too much seasoning. There was actually so much seasoning in my tray that it got on all my other food, spilled out of my try, and also got on to my girlfriend's food which was in a DIFFERENT tray but inside the same bag. So the fries were ruined and the rest of the food in the bag was made worse by this "mistake." And most of the other food was obviously rushed and undercooked anyway. It almost feels like it was done out of spite towards me and my girlfriend because if you take a look at my cheerwine float in picture number two, you can see the beverage looks like clumpy dishwater... It tasted like that too. So disappointing, I couldn't even finish it. Again, usually Cookout is great, like a 4 or 5 star visit. But this was just awful. All of the food was BAD, so bad it actually felt like this was done on purpose by a resentful employee. Because I love you most of the time Cookout, I wanted to bring this horrendous and out of character occurrence to your attention to maybe make sure this never happens again to anyone. This visit was an absolute waste of time and money and I hope they start picking up their act over on North Battlefield cookout.

    This place is great! Will definitely come again!…read more A friend and i went on a whim, just to see, and was pleasantly surprised. I have lived in the area for a majority of my life and had never thought to go in. I am glad I finally did! The restaurant had ample seating, with tables inside and out, along with a long bar to sit. The service was great! Sean was super nice and told us all of his favorite things off of the menu. We ordered a handful of things: - A 1/4 All Beef Hot Sausage: This was my favorite item and Sean's go to on a break. We added chili and mustard and it was absolutely delicious. - A Hot Dog Dietz & Watson: Solid , but nothing to really write home about. It might just be, because it followed a sausage that good. We added chili, mustard, and a bit of onion for this one. - A Pork BBQ Sandwich: Really good! I am not the biggest BBQ fan either, but I plan to try the Chicken BBQ next time. I added coleslaw and onion for this item. I liked their coleslaw a lot, which also surprised me. The only thing I wished was added, was extra sauce. - Buffalo Chicken Sausage: Really good! This was a close second for me. It was not too spicy either. Just right, with onions, chili, and mustard. - Sweet Potato Fries and crinkle fries: I love sweet potato fries and these were good. The crinkle fries were just okay. I wish they did have some seasoning.

    Famous Uncle Al's is a big hit! I asked around for hot dog place recommendations, and someone at…read morework said you must try Famous Uncle Al's . I got an iced tea with chipped ice (the best). I also got a hot dog with onions, relish, and mustard. It was perfect! I was so pleased by the simplicity and yumminess of the hot dog. I was worried it was going to be too much , but beautiful surprise the hot dog was perfect ! It was so good. It wasn't greasy or oily at all. The crinkle fries with the special sauce was delicious! And who doesn't love a crinkly fry? Yum! The staff went above and beyond ! Thank you for a wonderful meal!

    One thing that I know is to never judge a book by its cover when it comes to how a restaurant looks…read morefrom the exterior. In this case a food stand outside of a hardware store. The smell drew me in the first time while visiting Lowe's and so glad I took a chance. A line is always a good sign that there are likely regulars and that spells something good is going on. The menu is posted on the outside and is simple fair type with burgers, sausages & cheesesteaks. The one young guy running the grille was friendly and recommended the cheesesteaks which I gotta say as a lover was suspicious. However I was willing to risk it on the off chance this food stand in a parking lot could actually deliver a fabulous steak. The price was affordable for a footling around $10 and added a bottle water and tip came to $13+ The cheesesteak was completed in around 8 minutes wrapped up and in a bag with napkins. I popped it open in the car and was amazed at the pure size and amount of meat. The smell was glorious with steam waffling above. The bread was fresh and authentic to Philly. The only thing left was a bite and it did not disappoint one bit, just wowzers! It was good enough to return prior to writing a review. It ended up being a carbon copy of my success with another incredibly delicious cheesesteak. This time I used a nearby picnic table to enjoy. This is a chain food stand. The owner has two located at Lowe's in Chesapeake and Virginia Beach on Holland Rd. If you love cheesesteaks then Dominic's delivers a masterpiece and you will not be disappointed. A 4.5 rounding up and later learned Yelp friend Terry was a super fan of their steaks which was cool. Don't forget to pick up a punch card when you buy 6 your 7th is FREE!

    What a surprise!…read more We had a quick bite here before going to the Chartway Arena for a show and my husband wanted something for lunch. It was packed, probably with people doing what we were doing, but there were several seats at the bar so we snagged three and were greeted pretty quickly by a very friendly waitress. She made recommendations at my husband's request and suggested the special which was two hotdogs with topping of your choice, half order of fries or tots and a drink. He went with that and we ordered a single cheeseburger for our toddler. Food was out quickly - probably less than 10 minutes and the burgers and fries were piping hot and very good. My husband was pleased. Their menu is much larger than I expected with tons of burgers, sandwiches, some salads and other things. Our waitress and a few others checked on us while we ate to ensure we didn't need anything. Very good service. I think we will definitely come back.
