    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.

    Always busy but never a long wait. Order always right, food on point and milk shakes are the best late night cravings.

    This may have been the slowest cookout I have ever been to! The only bright side was that the food was hot when I got it.

    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).

For starters our server Zipporiah sat us near a large family. Easily 12-15 members. Maybe she thought they were about to leave but they were still seated and chopping up as families do. Me & Bae didn't know those people. The restaurant was not packed. Three places I won't sit in restaurants: by the kitchen, by the bathrooms and way in the back. Otherwise I let the servers do their job of balancing the customers. I should have asked for a different seat. Our lunch date was just okay but having to talk to each other over that family wasn't fun for me. Literally one table over and yes booths were available. The other reason for the four? Being rushed. Bae eats like he's running out of time. I eat much slower. I'd barely gotten the sour cream and butter in my loaded baked potato good before we were asked if we needed boxes. To which I replied that I was still enjoying my meal. Now if there was a reason for us to be rushed then communicate this. I've had many a server say that they are about to leave or shift change is happening so they ask to cash us out before they leave. If the restaurant is slammed and we're just camping out then it makes sense to try to turn the table quickly. I guess we weren't eating fast enough because Bae noticed a slight shift in her attitude towards us. The food? Banging! We ordered fried chicken wings as our appetizer. Talk about a speedy delivery of hot chicken wings! So good! Fish was friend to perfection. Why lemon pepper? I wanted to do something different. Zipporiah was very accommodating along if I wanted just one piece with lemon pepper. Also, our order did come out right. Will we go back? Absolutely. This place is a Greensboro staple!

The dip is always so delicious - it's one of my favorite appetizers ever. The pita is really good too. I think they recently started adding cheese to it too which is good but not really necessary in my opinion. At first, they brought us pita that was really burnt but our waiter told us she requested a fresh batch without us even saying anything which I think is great service. I also tried their garlic parm boneless wings & they were so good. I loved how seasoned & salty they were, although they might be too salty for some people. I really loved it though! Their cocktail menu is also really interesting & creative. It's mostly whiskey of course but they do have other spirits. I tried the peanut butter & jelly Old fashioned and it was surprisingly delicious. It really did taste like a PB&J so I highly recommend. The inside is small but there's a nice outdoor seating area too. This really is one of my favorite places to get food in the area BUT the only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because anytime I've been there remotely close to closing, they definitely let you know & make you feel rushed. I'm not one to go to restaurants last minute when they're closing because I know how that can make it difficult for employees, but being somewhere 45 minutes before they close shouldn't warrant getting rushed. I've been there before just to have a few cocktails at the bar about 45 min before closing & had the same experience. I still really love this place & will keep going (but probably not within an hour or so of closing lol)

My friend got cheese on their hashbrowns and I got bacon on my melt. It said the order would be ready at 4:35am. On Friday and Saturday nights, it is to-go only, unfortunately, due to a tragic incident that happened at a location in South Carolina. I arrived at 4:27am. It was ready. Thankfully I checked before leaving because my bacon was missing and the cheese was missing off the hashbrowns (both of those are an up charge) They didn't give me drinks when they gave the food and I'm thankful I remember bc I'm no stranger to forgetting the beverages, lol. They added cheese, as requested. They cooked and gave me 5 slices of bacon, which was nice bc that's more than I would've gotten on my sandwich. Staff were friendly but always check your order before leaving! lol It was odd when two guys pulled up to order and they were told they were closed for cleaning... what? Haha.
