The mission was to go to Popeyes however Cook Out was in our vision before we made it there. I have never been to Cook Out before today. It was a blazing hot Sunday afternoon. The line was almost out of the door. It's not every day you see that at a fast food restaurant. The dining room was full of people but there were still a couple of tables available. I had a seat and my bestie ordered for me. This place has some good cheap eats. The call the combos trays. Basically you choose a meat and two sides. I chose a Big Double Homemade Chargrilled Hamburger with the works. The sides were onion rings and fried okra. My bestie also ordered some chili cheese fries and a large fresh brewed iced tea. Everything is made to order so you will have to wait awhile. The food was good. read more

Delicious home-cooked grilled burgers with yummy onion rings and fantastic shakes. Comfort food done well.

Love the scripture on packaging! It tasted like real food! For fast food this hit the spot and exceeded expectations.

Would've, but after tonight I'll never recommended this place. Been going here since they opened and this was the first time, I received coldass cheese bites and a chicken wrap that felt like it was ordered a while before I came through and ended up getting that stiffass chicken. Don't worry this I'll be the last review I give on this place. Let it be someone else's bad experience. Two thumbs down! If you read this, take your money elsewhere. read more

Very rarely have I ever had a drive-through experience this great. THE best Cookout food, hands-down. We got the burger, onion rings, fries, hush puppies, cheeseballs, Dorito walking taco. All of it 10 out of 10. Super fresh food, clean oil, some of the best fast food I've had, possibly in my entire life. 10 out of 10 across the board great cookout location will definitely be coming back friendly employees, friendlier manager. And the pumpkin shake, dear Lord. read more

Couldn't be happier. Walked in McDonald's next door and it was packed so I decided to go bail. As I got back in the car I saw this place and decided to give it a shot. Burger was hot and reminded me of a grilled burger in the backyard. A+ read more

Sorry, but this has to be said. Starting off with a full list of 5 stars, Cook Out is open late when others aren't, has an extensive menu for most people in your party, and the pulled pork is way better than at any other fast food place. -3 stars because: the staff is not very friendly, and three times in the same weekend (we drink so we eat late, don't judge) we got attitude from the person taking orders. By attitude I mean for example that one time a person in my party very nicely asked "everything looks so good! What do you recommend?" (Because we're not from Georgia) and the girl let out a sigh and said "I don't know what you like, just order something." That's not enough for a full three stars, so when we got back to the hotel room, I realized my French fries were cooked in old oil and so I got sick later that night. The coleslaw on the bbq plate was dry, just cabbage basically. And even if the food hadn't made me sick, the burger was so dry I just decided not to eat it. read more

I mean you get what you pay for but this hamburger is a little pitiful. This was a to go order so I didn't see until I got home read more

Cook Out - Cookout hamburger - Fast Food Near Me - Gainesville, Georgia

just had the yummiest bbq sandwich, employees made me feel a little awkward however.. but it was a nice place to chill and eat food!

We were traveling on our way to NC and wanted a good burger. When we saw the food sign on the highway in Gainesville, we opted for Cook Out. When we got to the exit the sign said left 2 miles. We were still ok. But it all fell apart from there. First, the cookout wasn't even on the same road where we exited. We drove and drove and finally got to a big intersection in the right lane where it had a small sign on the right saying "Cook Out - turn left". Really? We managed to get there and order, but this restaurant should not advertise off the highway! It's not! Our burger was good, but not worth the detour from our trip! Darn! Just took a sip of my unsweetened tea and it's NOT! read more

IT IS SO BAD I WANT TO GIVE YOU A 0, BUT THATS NOT POSSIBLE SO I GIVE YOU A 1. Worst continuous experience ever. You know, I thought maybe I just came to Cook Out at a bad time, right? Or maybe the staff is young, and they're still learning so I'll be patient right? Absolutely wrong. I went back multiple times and every single time, my order was wrong. Something was missing or downright completely the wrong item. Also when ordering, you can barely hear anything they say. They act dead inside and are never very nice. No "thank you"'s, no "have a good day"'s, nothing. Also on top of it, the most disappointing is having to wait soooo long in a line for the wrong item to be put in your lap. Just honestly has gone down hill fast. Guaranteed fail every time. read more

Food is excellent pretty. I recommend the cheeseburger, fried okra, and all of the food. There is something about the ice that comes out of the machine there almost tastes better than the crushed ice you get everywhere else. read more

Disgusting food. Ore ida crinkle fries and disgusting burgers. On the bright side the line moved quickly. Save your money and go to MCD. I literally took one bite and threw it in the trash!!!! read more

Stopped by this place to grab some comfort food for a gf and me. I was disappointed that I didn't see the foot long dogs. Maybe it's only at larger locations... Anywaysss... The mexi hot dog and bacon cheddar hot dog were both pretty good. The mexi dog would be my rec out of the two. The bacon cheddar one was good too since it was loaded with lots of bacon, but it was a tad salty imo since I'm not a bacon fan. The chicken nuggets were good, but they were sort of small. They were like a fusion of a Wendy's white meat and McDonald's crispy (only slightly) nugget. The cappuccino milkshake was pretty good and tasted creamy, not too icy or artificial. There were about 20 flavors to choose from so choose happily. Parking was extremely limited with about 10 spots or so (?). This is def a to-go joint. Even the inside seemed to be packed. The hype about this place needs to die down soon. read more

Cook Out - Fast Food Near Me - Gainesville, Georgia

Not a good experience. Ordered 2 identical meals. Hot dogs on one tray were burned/charred. Hot dogs on the other tray were warm outside and cold inside. French fries on both were cold, hard, no salt and could be tossed as rocks. The tea was the only part of the meal worth keeping. It gets old after a while, all fast food places would be better if you just tossed your money out the window while driving over. It would leave you equally satisfied. read more

Really good place to eat. Real patient for some people (not me lol) that hasn't ever ate at cookout because let's be real, it does have a pretty large menu. Especially their milkshake menu. The place was real clean, ole Ty if seating for a family of 3. I would go again 100X times over again. read more

Decided to give this Cook-Out another try. Tonight the line was moving and the food was better than ever. Service was excellent thanks to Marciano (I believe was his name). As long as Marciano is there I will continue coming. read more

I gotta say. Dang good! This is my first cookout experience. I love they are open late so I can drive through after a long shift working in ER. Food is hot and yummy. Not healthy but dang good and greasy!! Mmmmm I gotta try a shake next time! read more

"Fast Food" 1st customer in the door. I waited right at 20 minutes while five cars casually stroll through the drive-through. Won't be back in the dining room at this location or a cookout location for that matter. read more

Saturday afternoon. Went through the drive to order 3 milkshakes. I'm not sure why it's such a hard task to order milkshakes. If you have 40+ flavors on your menu, you should be familiar enough to answer basic questions about them. Knowing whether you're going to mix flavored syrup or fruit in the milkshake is basic. Two different people came over the intercom, both were rude and continued to rush the whole time. If they weren't so busy rushing and talking over us, they would have been able to hear. Extremely rude, wasn't expecting that at all. Will not be back. read more

The hamburger was burnt on the outside and pink in the middle Burger was half the size of the bun. Worse hamburger ever. read more

I've never eaten at this restaurant, so I thought I would try it because of the name. I thought it might be something a kin to five guys or some of the other homemade style burger places. All I can say is my food was like a larger version of krystals. The food is terrible. Never again read more

If there was zero stars I'd give it that! Staff worse I've ever seen can't get an order right after I told them 3 times no mayo they slapped mayo all over it and asked me if I wanted a sweet tea I said no, mr pibb please still got a sweet tea asked for a 2 Hot sauce wraps one came no lettuce and both were ranch wraps not a single good thing to say about this place. I will never go back here and will be sharing my experience with others! Place should be shut down! Not to mention little girl was rude at the window to just put the icing on the cake. This is by far the worse cookout I've ever been to. read more

Wow. Great burgers. Great fries and onion rings. This place is dangerous. So good I ate there 3 days in a row after my first visit. Like I said..dangerous b/c it's so good & I really don't need it 3 days in a row but I couldn't pass it up! read more

Me and my friend went to cookout last night at close, and we had the best experience with the drive through woman! She loaded us up with cookout sauce and made us feel so special!! She deserves the most! read more

Waited in line for 45 minutes. Girlfriend really wanted Cook Out. After our 45 minute wait, the manager didn't acknowledge or speak to us when we got to the window, instead, she spoke with someone in front of us, asking when their sister worked at the store, and tried to give people hiring applications. When she finally spoke with us, she dropped my card on the ground, and proceeded to argue with someone over the phone. Once we finally got our food, both the drinks and food order was wrong. I will never go back here, and I advise no one else pay them a visit. Entirely unprofessional. read more

Got there tonight lady who gave us our drinks walked away after didn't see her at all again then a new girl came up wearing no mask or gloves on hands us our food after waiting for 15 minutes and we get home and our food is burnt read more

I had went by and ordered a big double ketchup only for my sister and when I got home this bitch had the audacity to put only cheese and ketchup on a bun who the actual fuck puts no meat on a burger without specific instruction read more

This is probably one of the best Cook-Out location I have ever been too. The service was amazing and super fast for the amount of food we got. Nicole was extremely helpful considering my bf hadn't ever been to a Cook-Out before and she helped go through menu items. She smiled and laughed and in a business it shows proper etiquette when dealing with customers. You can tell the employees love their jobs and the atmosphere is extremely family friendly. One of the employees informed me it was a Christian run business and that's why they played a lot of Christian music. Later, I was craving a cherry Coke. And even though, it wasn't on the menu a really sweet girl, Emerald, offered to make one for me no questions asked. She was just another helpful and nice employee. The food like I said was perfect and so filling. But I was way more impressed with the staff. I highly Recommend dining in if the opportunity was there just to meet the staff. Tony the manager, later came to ask if there was anything they could do better. Which, I let him know the service was perfect but that I was more impressed with his staff. This place deserves more than 5 stars but 100% satisfied. read more

Used to be fabulous when they first opened but had since went downhill. Need to work on friendliness of staff & getting orders right. Good milkshakes though. read more

They always forget straws, napkins etc. The drinks are always filled with ice even when requesting light ice. The use styrofoam cups so a filled cup of ice isn't needed. Burger was okay. Got about 8 fries. $7.88.... read more

POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!! We eat here quite often and this didn't even happen to me but a customer in front of me. It was enough to make me reconsider my rating. He brought his burger up and said he asked for cheese and it wasn't on his burger. One of the girls came from the back and said they would not remake his order unless he paid 48cents to have cheese added. He was unsure if he was charged for it. They never looked to see if he was charged. He took his burger back and ate it as is. This store needs to learn customer service. I almost took my party and walked across to mc Donald's due to this type of customer service. The food wasn't that great either today so maybe they need to reconsider their staff. My fries were cold and hardly and condiments on the burgers. When asked for a name of the girls name they were reluctant to give it to me. I was told Adrianna was her name but who knows if that was the truth. read more

The food was good but, I'm not going back i got food poisoning from a undercooked burger. Three times this one and the other one at oakwood
