I'd never heard of Cook Out before in my life, until a week or so ago and I knew I had to try one. My son and I stopped in to order dinner and brought it home to eat. I ordered a cheeseburger combo with cheese bits and onion rings. The sides looked pretty sad and were really tiny portions but tasted ok. My burger was yummy and I'm sure helped with my iron level for my recent blood donation. My son ordered a quesadilla and corn dogs but they didn't give him his Cajun fries and we didn't realize until we'd arrived home and sat down to eat. Bummer! Both of our shakes were tasty! I ordered Oreo, my son ordered peanut butter Oreo. Service was friendly but our order seemed to take a while. I was hungry so maybe it felt longer, but I think it was quite awhile (maybe drive thru is the move here). We've tried it! Check.

Gave us completely wrong order in drive thru, good thing I checked before we drove off. Then I Asked for cookout sauce & forks, straws, napkins..... was then presented with an attitude and told they were in the bag. Drove off, looked in bag and of course they weren't in there. Turned back around to get them. Good portions are insanely small. Won't be back. Pic of food before eating. 3 cheese bites.... Really?

A ranch chicken wrap

Lack of accountability for making orders is very prominent at this location. I ordered a tray with two ranch wraps and received one chicken ranch wrap and one wrap with a roll of bacon in it.

Wait line to order wasn't long.. guy that took our order seemed to hate life. Hasn't cracked a smile yet. Got food really fast. I ordered the bbq plate. Thinking since this is the south they must have some amazing bbq. Boy was I wrong. The bbq was way to salty. Bbq was also. Very bland it Had a dab of bbq sauce on there. You could tell this wasn't freshly made it was from a bag. I had them give me cajun fries instead of regular fries. The cajun fries are just regular fries with cajun seasoning thrown on it. And slaw was bland no season what so ever. Hush puppies were ok. THEY DONT HAVE DR PEPPER, JUST MR PIBB . I was very sad about that. They do have sonic type ice though. scoreee Might be back to try the burger instead

Sorry for some bites already lol this is spicy chicken with French fries and corn dog (you can choose two sides!)

The combo will make you sooo full and very reasonable ! If you are looking for super yummy one, then unfortunately I don't think this place is the right one but the amount they give you for this price is awesome. Good for family ! You choose two sides and has many options like French fries, onion rings, corn dog, cheese bites, fried okura and much more!

Pulled pork sandwich hardly any meat.

I know better than to expect great food from this place. I still should at least find consistency. My normal order is Chili Cheese Fries (decent) with pulled pork (good) on top. To do this I have to order a pulled pork sandwich for $3.99. That is also fine. The problem is depending on the night I might get hardly any pork. So I bought the sandwich this time and was gonna put the pork on myself. This is what I received.

Good Burgers, however if you are going for the shakes they are more like ice cream not milkshakes.

Food was good, customer service in the Drive-Thru was poor. Kids just talking loud and not responding to customers.

The wait time in the drive through was long BUT the hotdogs were clearly freshly grilled. The price was reasonable. I'll return!!

The service is fast, but the food was not hot. There are not enough tables, and the atmosphere is not relaxing. There is too much noise.

I love cookout. Discovered it when I lived in South Carolina. Came to this cookout on the opening day and was so pleased by everything.

If you're anywhere near downtown Columbus, this needs to be your stop. The Old Fashioned was beautifully balanced, garnished with a gorgeous orange peel, and at $10 it's an absolute steal -- honestly, they could charge more and it'd still be worth it. My wife is vegetarian and had the pasta, which she loved just as much -- great sauce, feta, sunflower seeds for crunch. This place genuinely has something for everyone, carnivore or not. Add in a waiter who was on point the whole meal and that down-home Southern ambiance (exposed brick, string lights, the whole vibe), and you've got a restaurant that nails food, drinks, and atmosphere all at once. If you're looking for where to eat in Columbus, don't even think twice -- this is it.

But, other than that our actual wait person was awesome and the food top notch! The hot pimento crab dip is to die for and the Harlot Burger was a definite winner. We also very much enjoyed the banana pudding. Charming place, friendly service and great food...just wish the greeting was a bit more welcoming, still a 5 star experience.

So it's always first come, first serve and everytime I've tried to come here, it's a 30 min wait. It took about 15 min for the bartender to offer us menus and give us waters/ask for a drink. The drinks were delicious though, I had the Paper Plane. The food was also surprisingly good. Even though there wasn't enough chicken on the chicken Alfredo dish, the sauce was delicious and tasted great. The burger and sweet potato fries were also good. I think if I came back; it would be for the drinks and potentially the pasta. I would be open to trying other things on the menu.

Both my lunch date and I came from out of town after seeing so many great reviews and hearing how good the food was supposed to be. The restaurant itself was nice and clean, but let's get to the food... I ordered the blackened chicken with mashed potatoes and mac and cheese. Unfortunately, there was NO FLAVOR. I even tried adding the salt and pepper from the table, and it still did not help the taste at all. My lunch date ordered the salmon, mashed potatoes, and brussels sprouts, and unfortunately, their food was just as disappointing. What really surprised me was that after we finished eating, we met several people from the area who talked about how good the food was. We had also seen plenty of positive reviews before making the trip, so maybe we just caught them on an off day. I was disappointed to find out afterward that they have a Sunday brunch menu with a lot more options, including dishes like catfish and shrimp. Even a table of older ladies sitting beside us mentioned wishing they served cornbread--or any type of bread. There were no rolls, biscuits, cornbread...nothing. Personally, I think offering some of those Sunday menu options every day would make the menu much better. I was disappointed after driving over two hours to try this restaurant, but I am willing to give it another chance. However, my next visit will definitely have to be on a Sunday so I can experience more of what the menu has to offer. Everyone's experience is different, and this just happened to be ours.
