    Big Double with Cheese.
    Edward P.

    I come here on occasion when I want a burger for lunch and don't have time for a regular restaurant. The service is always fast and friendly. My go to meal is always a tray with a Big Double and my two side are quesadillas. Yes, quesadillas are considered sides here. Granted, they are very thick but they are pretty decent. The tray comes with a drink and their sweet tea is quite good. They also have some incredible thick shakes at Cookout; so thick that you'll have to use a spoon. While most Cookout locations are drive thru only, this one also has a restaurant inside as well. It's themed around Darlington Raceway which is a short distance away. Plenty of old NASCAR pictures at Darlington hanging on the wall.

    Southern 500

    This is the closest Cook Out to Darlington Raceway. It's a great location and is properly decorated given the brand's sponsorship of the Southern 500 race. The staff was super friendly and welcoming to my lunch crew.

    Trays for Burgers
    Janet M.

    Family Road Trip from Florida to VA - we made a stop to Florence, SC. The Cookout was near our Hotel and from what we seen, a southern fast food joint. I was exhausted so as I walked in I advised the cashier - first timer here and a bit frazzle from a long drive. Normally when we order, we order the burgers or main item and a few sides. If the employee had advised me that they ONLY do trays I would have changed my order but instead he rolled his eyes at my order, which was a Double Cheeseburger, Steak Style Burger and a Cheddar Style burger. I didn't want trays - I was just going to get an order of fries and onion rings. The employee kept asking for sides and I kept explaining I didn't want multiple sides as didn't want leftovers as we're traveling. Then he called the manager over, who was a young girl and would not greet me or look at me. She asked him the issue and he told her I only wanted the ONE tray and the two burgers. She quickly removed the extra tray and walked away. But when she removed the extra tray she removed one of the burgers. So I told him. He rolled his eyes again. So I relented and asked for the tray (which he already had the three drinks). He got annoyed and the back employees were trying to explain to him and eager to help me. Finally I left with my 3 drinks, two trays with burger, one burger. I was even more exhausted after an order that should have been a quick and go. The burgers were good - got one of them wrong but they were tasty and great size. I gave it a two star rating more so for the employee interaction. So go and order a tray and know no singles would be allowed!

    Burger, okra and hush puppies
    Ross S.

    A great new find while traveling. I was pleasantly surprised at the options and choices here. They offer back yard burgers and many other dishes. The flavor. Came through and the toppings were very good They have super thick milkshakes and also a plethora of flavors. Hope they come to my home area soon.

    1 Walking Taco $3.79 came in mini Doritos bag not worth it. Got this only because the chicken burrito ordered first looked like an extra mini size at 3.99 itself. I got a regular burger for 6.99. It had fresh ingredients not bad but those first two are inexcusably bad.

    Service was poor. Burger had a small square of lettuce and the almost green tomato was paper thin. Nothing exciting.

    We stopped by while passing through South Carolina during a roadtrip and I'm so glad we did!!…read more Our server **Johnathan** completely made the experience. He was SO hospitable, sweet and genuinely welcoming. He gave great recommendations and did not steer us wrong. These days, it's not always easy to come across service like that, which made it even more appreciated. I ordered the Sunset Blush drink and it was delicious. We also got the cornbread and I'm not exaggerating when I say it was the BEST cornbread I've ever had. So soft and flavorful. The brisket sandwich was a little dry (could be because we went during closing) but still had really good flavor. The mac and cheese though... WOW. I am very picky with mac and cheese and most places miss the mark, but this tasted homemade. Easily a 10/10. My husband got the peach bourbon burger and said it was great. The kids ate everything in sight which is always a win...lastly the cinnamon roll cheesecake for dessert... phenomenal!!! Overall such a great experience and I'm really glad we stopped in!

After driving 15 hours on March 21, 2026, my husband and I were genuinely excited to try this place and planned to take our food back to the hotel. Unfortunately, the experience started off poorly and never really recovered. First, parking is extremely limited out front, which is frustrating when you're tired and just want a quick pickup. Inside, things only got worse. The front-of-house staff was shockingly unprofessional. The employee helping us clearly didn't understand her job and had to be corrected multiple times by another staff member--something no customer should have to witness. It created confusion, delays, and zero confidence in our order. We paid about $50 for a sampler, which is not cheap, and yet the same employee argued about giving us the sides because she entered the order incorrectly. If another, more competent employee hadn't stepped in, I'm convinced it would have escalated further. Even then, we never received one of the four sides we paid for. To make matters worse, we were never asked if we wanted drinks to go, and we weren't given plates, silverware, or even BBQ sauce--basic essentials for a takeout order. That's just unacceptable. While waiting, we also watched this same employee tell three separate dine-in families to go sit and wait while she stood there rolling silverware. Completely rude and dismissive. If I had been one of those customers, I would have walked out. This is the first impression customers get, and it's a terrible reflection of how the place is run. Between the disorganization, poor communication, and outright unfriendly behavior, the service was a mess. The only reason this isn't a one-star review is because the food itself was actually very good. The burnt ends and ribs were the standout--absolutely delicious. But great BBQ can't fully make up for such a frustrating and poorly managed customer experience.

    Brisket bacon egg & cheese. With extra cheese grits. Hubs said it was delicious. To me, the brisket tastes reheated. Not fresh

After having the crab cake sandwich we would recommend doing the platter because the bread overpowers the crab cake. Everything was incredible, the flavors, consistency, and quality. It is for sure comfort food but nothing sits heavy and feels super fresh. Not a fan of coleslaw but it was super yummy and great corn fritters for our first time having them. Service was great. Ambiance was super informal and adds to the vibe of what you're eating. Also unrelated but the cashier/server has a super calming energy/presence/voice which totally added to the vibe

Came with slaw, 1x Side (Collard Greens: sweet vinegar with some heat, and a bit of pork, really good!), and some AMAZING Hushpuppies (fresh, sweet corn bread). Shrimp & Grits: Fantastic! Buttery and cheesy grits with sausage and nice shrimp (not over-cooked or chewy). Green beans were slightly too soft (30-mins until closing), but good comfort food. Coleslaw was "meh," but a good, crunchy foil to the fish and rice. Counter Service (order at register, then they bring to table/to-go) was quite fast, given that they had to cook the fish and prep foods for take-out. Everything looked clean, staff was nice, and owner was talking to everyone. Didn't get to try the variety of desserts, but they looked and smelled great. Traveling, but worth the stop!

We've…read morepassed Michael D'z BBQ every time on our way to and from Bucees in Florence, SC and every time we say 'next time we're stopping there'. Well today, 4 years later of saying that, we stopped. It's a small 'food truck' (but it doesn't move from this spot), and I believe the smoker in the front is where eveything is made. The smell is unmistakeable and you can take it to go or eat inside a covered area that has booths and even a pool table. They sell farm fresh eggs and other various produce, flavored honeys and bottle of bbq sauce. What we ordered.. 1/2 rack ribs - don't even know where to start with how tender, fall of the bone the ribs were, with a perfectly spicy bbq sauce 1/2 lb sliced brisket - this is their best seller and my lord, I entirely understand why 1/2 chicken - hubs loves chicken and this was like a mutant because it was gigantic and not overly smokey, but just right dipped in the rib sauce A small container of potato salad - had I known how truly delicious this was going to be, I'd definitely have gone bigger. Next time!! It was a tad sweet but balanced perfectly with relish. I have no problem traveling for quality.. this spot is about 1.5 hours away from Myrtle beach where we stay, and worth every minute of the drive. Best of all, I got to meet Mike!! He's a southern gentleman, a blast to chat with and I cant wait to go back. If you're traveling south on 95 through SC, it's a couple miles off the Bucees exit, I suggest you take the detour and give it a try!!!!
