    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

    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.

Not sure why they couldn't tell us this before the order. Anyway, no biggie. We ordered an app, mozz sticks and split the 4 cheeseburger sliders with fries. The mozz Sticks came out about 40 min later. They were so over cooked that all the cheese was completely blown out of them. We tried a few and it was nothing but bread. The waitress was nice enough to take them back and just remove them from our tab (it would be too long to wait for them again). Another 20 minutes and we received our order. The fries looked amazing!!! I was so disappointed to find out that looks can be deceiving. They had no flavor. I feel like maybe it was an oversight? I have read other reviews and others raved over them so, maybe the kitchen just forgot to season them. But they tasted like pure oil. But those burgers. Holy moly. Those burgers are were soooooo good! They don't make up for the others but I was glad not to leave there hungry. They gave us a coupon for our next time coming in. Told us not to open it and let our waitress, so they could tell us what our percentage off was. I opened it in the car bc I will not he back. It was 10% off in case others got this as well. Just a heads up

We started with the fried cheese, which I can only describe as pure, unadulterated bliss. It's less of an appetizer and more of a spiritual experience. If you're looking for a sign to forget your diet, this is it--crispy, gooey, and likely the reason I'll be doing extra cardio until 2027. Then came the "33" pizza. I'm not entirely sure what the "33" stands for--maybe the number of minutes I spent in a silent trance while eating it? Whatever it is, it was incredible. Even the cheeseburger "slapped," according to my son, which in teenager-speak means it's better than anything I've ever cooked at home. (I'm not offended; I've had the burger, he's right.) The real kicker, though? The service. It legitimately rivals Chick-fil-A. I was half-expecting our server to hit me with a "My pleasure" and follow us home to make sure we tucked the leftovers in safely. It's rare to find a spot that handles a crowd with that kind of efficiency and genuine politeness. The Verdict Go for the pizza, stay for the cheese, and bask in the glory of people who actually seem happy to bring you ranch.

It's in the same group of buildings such as Michael's (around the corner). My visit here was on October 27, 2025. The outside view of the business is simple, but effective. They have a specials chalkboard next to the entrance. Parking wasn't an issue on this visit, but I'm sure it can fill up at busier times. My mom and I were both in the area as she wanted to go to the Michael's store here. When we came inside, it wasn't busy, as it was around 3:30 pm when we got here. We were greeted by the one who would be our server for this visit. He gave us menus to look at and asked us for our drink orders. I generally stick with water with lemon, which I did here. We were there during the time where it was still the lunch menu (though for us, it was more like dinner for us that day). When he came back with the drinks, he asked if we were ready to order, but we weren't just yet. He also asked if we had any questions about the menu and options and gave us more time to mull over the menu. When he came back, we weren't completely ready, but asked a question about the specials of the day. After that, we knew what we would get and placed our food order. My mom ordered the Meatloaf Lunch Special with mashed potatoes and spinach. I went with the Meatball Sub Lunch Special with mashed potatoes, though I don't normally do potatoes that often. After about ten minutes or so, the food came to the table. The food looked really good, and it was hot too. The bread for the Meatball Sub was very soft and easy to eat. The meatballs were huge and made for a worthy meal. The mashed potatoes with gravy was really good and fulfilling too. My mom loved the meatloaf, and their meatloaf doesn't have ketchup on it like some other places do. She loved the meatloaf, spinach, and mashed potatoes too. After we were done, he asked if we wanted any desserts. We both declined as I normally don't do them anymore. Overall, we both had an excellent experience here. The food and service were on point. The food I had that day did spike my blood sugars, but I expected that with bread and mashed potatoes. I don't make a habit of that though. They are a great local business. There are lots of food options to choose from. If you are looking for a place to eat while in this part of Chesapeake, this place is worth coming to.

The place was packed but we were seated right away. There is a full bar and over 30 tv's. This would be the perfect place to watch several sports at once. They have bar, table and booth seating. The bathrooms are small but clean. I liked being able to see into the kitchen as well. Our server, Ariana, was an absolute gem. She promptly took our drink orders and our appetizer request. We got the combo appetizer which had boneless wings, twirly mozzarella sticks and fried pickles. HIGHLY recommend. Although it did take a little longer to get it, everything was hot and cooked perfectly. Ariana did explain how everything is cooked fresh so we expected to have a bit of a wait. For our entrees, I ordered the Monte Cristo with fries and my boyfriend had the sunshine burger with loaded tater tots. These took a lot longer to come out. We watched several people come, eat and leave before we got our food. Ariana kept us updated and was very apologetic. The Monte Cristo was the perfect balance between sweet and savory. The burger was full of flavor and huge. The loaded tots, unfortunately, they did not come out that way. Our server tried to get the kitchen to make a fresh batch, but to be honest, we were just tired and ready to go at this point. We are very empathetic when it comes to a busy restaurant. Ariana was doing everything she could to try and get our food on time and kept checking with the kitchen. I'm honestly surprised that the supervisor did not come over to check in. Our bill even had a charge for the games on the kiosk, which we did not play. However, we were just ready to go home at that point. The food was delicious. Our service from our server could not have been better. Disappointed with the management , I feel they should have been more helpful to the staff and to the customers. Especially since the order was not completed fully and we opted to leave without the requested loaded side. The prices are great and the portions are generous . I would love to try more of the menu! We I'll probably go back, maybe just at a different location or not around dinner time. It was a pleasant experience. If it were not for our server, my review would be a bit more critical.
