    NCCU Homecoming late night essentials! My go-to shake is a banana, peanut butter, fudge.
    Ashley A.

    My quickest Cook Out experiences (from order window to pick-up) have been at this location, regardless of time of day. My go-to shake is a peanut butter banana fudge. Amazingness every time.

    Burger

    Cook Out will always get my business. Being from Jersey I am use to having access to food late when wanted so this place really saves the day when I'm in NC. The line is ALWAYS long and I ALWAYS wait in it cause they move fast and get it done. The prices are great for the quality and quantity of food you get. I tend to grab a shake, burger, and (I know I know but it's all so good) fries and bbq sandwich. The shake is so freakin thick but by the time I get to my hotel it's loosened up enough to enjoy with my meal. Usually crowded and a bunch of young people but the employees run a tight ship and have never missed a beat ! Treat Yourself !

    The line was long, but the wait was worth it. Cajun chicken cookout tray, chicken ranch wrap, Cajun ranch wrap, with a Hershey's chocolate milkshake. The dude who rang me up had good customer service The food is always a hit and miss, but the service is ever worse. Love this place though so I don't know why it's not consistent like McDonalds or other fast food restaurants ‍

    Footlong hotdog combo with onion rings, slaw, and a large Diet Coke! $3.99 combo of joy

    Where else can you get a fantastic burger, with Cajun fries, a corn dog, or chicken tenders as a side?

It took a few months, but I finally stopped by on my way home from the Raleigh airport and was reunited with the chain. It was late, so we just ordered at the window and ate in the car. I ordered the 8 Layer Veggie Burrito (without sour cream). It's still just as good as I remembered it when I lived in Arizona. There was only one person ahead of us in the drive-thru, so it took maybe about 3 minutes for us to get our food once we ordered. I would consider Del Taco to be a healthier Taco Bell. It's not something I will drive 45 minutes out of my way for, but if it's in a convenient location, I'm all about it.

This is the typical fast- food taco restaurant. It offers many food items and combo options and drinks, which is what I look for in a taco place like this. I went for a hard-shell beef taco and a cheeseburger (I was curious about trying one from a taco restaurant). The taco was good out the hamburger was OK. I mean, not the best I have had, but I would come back for more tacos.  Staff was helpful and friendly. There is plenty of free parking. Again, I would come back for more tacos, and only tacos.

Even at 1:30 am, they're friendly, quick and the food delicious! This place sets the mood in the same way Waffle House or any gas station bathroom does - classically janky....though I'll say it has had a facelift since we were last here. We went to another cookout when we touched down and left because it looked too nice and didn't have a wrong sided drive thru! As such, we came back down Nostalgias highway to our OG cookout on Hillsbrough! It was exactly what we wanted! The stand alone, dual drive thru (with walk up) set up of this place is nothing short of amazing. If you had to design a place, it might accidentally turn out like this and you'd just accept it, not realizing the brilliance that is passing food through a passenger window! Seriously, of through the drive thru on the left. The food is such a perfect example of southern burgers - it's like in-n-out that you want to come back to! Cheddar style, steak style, west style - don't matter, it's all boss level! You'd like a burger with sides of corn dog and walking taco? Got it - one of 55 shake options? Done - more hush puppies? On it! The loudspeakers have been improved upon - you used to just pretend you understood what was being said and accept what you received. Now, they repeat it back at least. Our kids scarfed it down so fast we literally went through and ordered a second time, 6 minutes later. Three burgers, nuggets, rings and the equivalent of three pints of ice cream can't be wrong! Aside from my children, I may not love a human child more than this burger joint. It's so good, any time, any days, double stamp it, touch blue make it true, no eraseys! Thanks for living up to the hype 15 years later!

Thank God I asked for mayo so I could put it on the dry chicken. The fries were fresh and hot. They were delicious but the rest of the meal was trash. Why would you give one item fresh and the rest a disaster? Quesadilla burned up and the cheesecake was frozen solid in the center. Overall, a disappointment.
