    Terrible. Then I went to the cashiers to ask If this was correct. Yes, these are "large" and not kiddy burgers. $10 for 2 midget burgers and an extra $1 for one spoon of chili. Pitiful

    Don't get onion my shirt

    Needed to borrow reading material. Should have gone to Book Out. Needed help robbing a bank. Should have gone to Look Out. Needed help winning a chess game. Should have gone to Rook Out. Neede.... never mind. What to get: Cajun Chicken Sandwich, Burger, Fresh Banana shake, Sweet Tea. Even on the eve of Thanksgiving I was delighted to have the chance to visit the original Cook-Out location right here in Greensboro - which seems to give birth to a hundred different food chains - but none more delicious than Cook Out, with it's amazing burgers and Cajun Chicken sandwiches - not to mention the wonderful banana milkshakes and sweet teas. Service wasn't great but one of the employees was absolutely gorgeous so that made up for it. They served several people after closing time even the night before Thanksgiving - you can't really get better than that. I have to give them 5 stars for the food being so good and for them serving people late and staying open a holiday and for being the original location of perhaps my fave burger chain in the country, along with Swenson's. Just be aware that it's a dangerous area late at night - so be careful if you're on foot and stay alert. Greensboro is a poor town and this is a lively, rough intersection with a lot of action and craziness going on. Stay alert and then meet me back at my place. And remember to rock out with your Cook Out.

    Solid Southern style Chile Dog with Slaw

    This is another one of those places where you pretty much know what you'll get, and you pop in for a quick meal on the run, or for a specialty item you really like - in this case it was both - a Hershey's Chocolate Milkshake for Alice, and I grabbed a Southern Chili Dog with Slaw, and a Chopped BBQ Sandwich. The milkshake was outstanding as always, thick and creamy, and loaded with flavor - and frankly I don't know of a better one in the area! The sandwiches were solid, if not spectacular. The Hot Dog is probably the better of the 2 items - nice chili, decent wiener, good slaw, and a fresh bun. It's a bit sloppy, but then again many good things are. The BBQ sandwich is a notch or so above average, but it'll provide a quick pork fix. It lacks a certain amount of freshness, but soundly beats most "commercial" products found in non-BBQ joints in the state.

    I feel like in restaurant dining would help deal with the drive thru line that sometimes extends into the middle of Randleman Rd (which is dangerous).

I had been craving a piece of fish and had been wanting to try this spot. Decided to kill two birds with one stone and ordered takeout on my way home. I ordered take out: Family size flounder Regular catfish basket with fries Sides of Mac and cheese, collards, fries A small order of hush puppies Kids shrimp meal Ordering was easy and curbside pickup *would* have been convenient, except I was only given half of my order and got all the way home before realizing. Fine - people make mistakes. I immediately called the restaurant when I noticed and was given the option to come back and pick up my order (that was actively getting colder) or order it again another day... Considering we were missing the family size flounder, I opted to go back and pickup the rest of my order. I had to go in (which I had been trying to avoid by utilizing curbside pickup) - ok, not the end of the world, but then I had to wait in line. I was given the rest of my order that had been sitting out for close to (if not more than) half an hour. The girl that was working the counter apologized and was very nice, but given no one offered to remake my food or throw in something for my troubles annoyed me. The food was cold - the batter became soggy, fries mushy, slaw warm, hush puppies mostly grease. Mac & cheese was "OK." Collards were not good. Fries, flounder, and catfish would have been good while piping hot but - ALAS - were just OK. Unimpressed and downright disappointed.

I received me warm bowl, I opened it (oh the suspense) I first attacked the shrimp. Cooked well, the sauce wasn't my fav but it helped. Then I went after the chicken...it was just okay.
