    Walking taco and chili cheese burger

    This is a difficult establishment to review. I am torn because when receiving my food i was immediately concerned about needing to support the healthcare costs of regular customers, but then I realized the need to balance that with fact that they wjll not live long enough to collect social security. This place is dirt cheap and my chili cheese burger is very good as are the Cajun fries. Would eat again. I ordered the walking taco as my 2nd side. I was oblivious that this is aTex Mex taco ingredients thrown into a bag of Doritos. Ground beef and lettuce are not legitimate taco ingredients but I never anticipated an authentic taco, so I cannot allow this to impact my score. I'm not going to eat this (I am staring at it as I write). The meat is of poor quality and it's disgusting. That said -- for someone who craves low quality taco ingredients in a bag of Doritos at bottom of the barrel pricing it is probably hits the spot. I give 5 stars because their food effectively accomplishes what they set out to do. For the long term sustainability of CookOut Inc. may their clients not use protection and reproduce, because they are here for a good time -- not a long time.

    The workers here are rude and liars!!! I seat here watching 20 people after my order get theirs before I walk back up front and asked where was my order? After waiting another 10 minutes my order came out. Where did customer service go?

    Found this place via a Yelp search for where to eat while on a #roadtrip . Almost missed it, kind of up on a hill but right off 127. Went in so I could spend time looking at the menu since I'm unfamiliar. Burgers and hot dogs and shakes. Reasonable prices. Downside is the cashier didn't seem very friendly as I was trying to decide. Normally I'd ask what they recommend but she just didn't seem to want to engage. I got the cheddar burger (bacon and grilled onions), onion rings, and a plain hot dog (for my dog). It was all still hot when I got to my nearby hotel. The cook out sauce on the onion rings is good ... kind of like a spicy thousand island without the relish. The burger was a decent thickness and had good bacon and grilled onions on it. I was I tempted by the milkshake list but didn't get one. Good thing, cuz I was stuffed. I drove by again later in the evening but the drove through line was so long I didn't ... clearly a popular choice#yum #ReviewsByRL

    Never a bad experience yet-I can not understand their consistency in providing great food! Had my primary fav-BBQ again today in Frankfort Ky!

    Nothing fancy! "Don't let a book get judged by its cover" this place is so good! My husband first tried it in Lexington and on our way home (California) we stopped by in Frankfort. It's a must try! I had a tray with the cheddar style burger, onion rings and a corn dog; it was all good! Another plus is the crunchy ice they offer with their drinks. Staff was very friendly as well! And! It was very fast service.

    We ran through the drive though here today on our way out of town. The line was super long, but it moved really fast surprisingly. Ordering was complicated so I definitely suggest you look at a menu before ordering to speed up the process if you're a first timer. Our food came out super fast. It was all correct and fresh. My burger was delicious. We all really enjoyed the hush puppies as well. My favorite thing about this place is that it was super cheap. We fed three adults and two kids a TON of food with $30. Can't beat that for fresh made food! We'll definitely be back.

    Cook Out is possibly one of the better (no, I wasn't going for best. Nope!) fast food places in Frankfort. It's also one of the very few places that is open so late (3 am?!) though I've never been here past midnight. In fact, I've never entered the establishment; just whizzed through the virtually empty drive thru a couple times. The menu is pretty standard - burgers, chicken sandwiches, wraps etc and sides ranging from hush puppies to quesadillas. I don't know of any other place that offers entree's (the word is a stretch in this case) like wraps and quesadillas as sides. Also, they offer an insane amount of food in their 'trays'. Like, you can get a burger, wrap, quesadilla AND a coke float for $4.99. Or you can pay a dollar more and get one of their 40 different shakes as your drink. Is this a deal or a steal? The last time I was here, I got the spicy chicken sandwich tray with onion rings and a chicken wrap. I was so full after eating the sandwich and rings that I had to save the wrap for the next day. This time I went after dinner and so, just had R's side of Cajun chicken wrap. The wrap is a little sad to look at, with a lone chicken strip, a single lettuce leaf, some 'cheese' and Cajun seasoning. But, it was spicy and quite good. I figure they'd see more business were they located closer to KSU or such, considering the price and hours.

    Remember, this is a fast food chain that happens to sell a healthier food selection than many…read moreothers like McDs js so it's not surprising when you experience fast food restaurant mishaps. So when you chose this restaurant is because of the quality of food, let's be honest ok. It's not a fine dine restaurant like some people feel like they must compare it to. Smh. Genuinely you will be very pleased with your meal and experience Mr yes I've experienced some of those fast food restaurant oopses. No more of an item, nervous kid at register trying not to mess up dealing with Only God knows what lol. But I've never left here like wtf or WTH. I've always been genuinely thankful for getting my Steak Burrito for sure. So Mr, Ma'am, if dealing with people is difficult for you, maybe DoorDash or do the rest of us a favor and stay your grumpy self home. Lol jk but seriously this place is a 3-4 star all day. And a five when you speak like an adult and carry yourself like one. Southwest Steak Burrito is fire til you can't chew through the fat connecting several pieces. But once you get past that, the rest is delicious. 3 Cheese Queso and Chips are great.
