I know it's not the best food in the world and but it's quick and it's cookout. I'm getting two hotdog cookout style and a huge sweet tea. Loving every minute of it. The staff here is always friendly and the new location looks great. read more

Cook Out - Cookout style hotdog - Hot Dogs Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

This the second time they have messed up order. I took the food back to the one on wendover. This last time i didn't because i live 25 mins away.they put nothing on the burger i asked for. They left off one fry and other only had half a fry and they were just thrown in the bag. Never ever will i go back. A waste of 22 dollars. read more

I went to cookout and got 2 (regular, not small. Yes they have that) hamburgers. 1 cookout style (1 whole tablespoon of chili for an extra .99 cents) and 1 with regular fixings. $10 total, $5 each. After 3 bites of bread I opened the bun and went back to the counter and asked if this was a regular or a small? They said regular. They asked if I wanted it remade and I said yes. She snatched it out of my hand and the replacement was no better. I sent a email to corporate customer service and asked how to attach pictures and got a form letter back saying "we will file this comment" with no way to attach. I replied saying "nice form letter, how do I attach pictures? And they sent the exact form letter back. Basically a big buzz off. The quarters are for scale. If they came on there I would at least have .50 cents. read more

A solid 2 inches of sugar in the bottom of each of our teas. Parts of the sugar were still almost dry. It's like it was dumped in prior to ice and tea being poured in. When I called to complain the manager said he doesn't see how that could be possible, maybe the bottom of the urn... no this was literally a solid two fingers of pure sugar. I'm not one to complain but this is absolutely disgusting and seemed intentional. My fiancé literally got choked when he tried to take a sip. read more

Good: Food was great as always, Bad: the employee at window had poor customer service skills. Fries wasn't seasoned as I asked They forgot one of my trays Advice: thoroughly check your food to make sure everything is correct because this is the 3rd time in a row. Don't expect great customer service read more

I grew up in Greensboro and this was the Cook Out I used to go to when I was a kid. Coming back to NC after 16 years I was really looking forward to coming back to Cookout especially since there aren't any in California. I was extremely disappointed by my spicy chicken sandwich, the patty itself was really thin and dry. The customer service was not great, I was ask to hold at the drive thru speaker for over 5 minutes with no updates and a line of cars behind me. I was really hoping to get that nostalgia feeling eating here again but it was really a big let down. read more

Cook Out - Menu - Hot Dogs Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

This is your typical late night spot to grab some food. It was my first time going in the drive thru at this specific location and I guess I've never seen the line so short, well it was Sunday night too. Anyhow, service was fast as expected and they got our orders right. I think I only tried their milkshakes once. Anyhow, they don't have indoor seating like the location on wendover but it was overall okay. read more

Excellent food, the people working are all pleasant and the drive thru moves quickly. What more can you ask for?

While trying to enjoy my meal with the drink that was included. There appeared to be a small plastic bag in my soda. Now I have major concerns if there was anything else in my drink! I have photos to match read more

Cook Out - a cup of ice cream on a counter - Hot Dogs Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

Not much to say, great fast food and super cheap. Superior milkshakes. The best meal combo deal probably on the east coast. Corn dogs are considered "side items", so you can absolutely get a double cheeseburger and two corn dogs as part of the combo. You'll find all these things at pretty much any Cook-Out location, this one is not an exception to that. Though I have found at this location, the quality of the service can vary wildly. This spot seems the most busy as an after-hours Cook Out option. From dinner time to 3 in the morning, it is jumping, and you're going to have to wait a long time to get food. Sometimes the line even spills out onto the main street. There is no dine-in option at this location. You can either do the double drive-thru, which is very tight for larger vehicles in the outside lane, or you can walk up to the window. read more

Y'all fucked my order up twice. First of all, y'all didn't include my Cajun fries. When I got home, my burger was trash. I asked for a burger with lettuce tomato mayo and chili. All I got was some two day old bacon on that shit. I forgive y'all, but damn get your shit together. read more

Cajun chicken sandwich plate... Enough said... Just dropped the mic as I drove off. Can you beat a plate with 2 sides for $5? read more

Cook Out - Cajun chicken plate with double order of fries. - Hot Dogs Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

WORST cookout i've ever been to and it seems to just get worse every time. Take forever to get the food and the quality is poor and so is the amount you get for the price. Employees are also impolite. might as well shut this place down. read more

Fries were soggy, corn dogs tasted old, but the shake was on point.. Person at the drive thru could have used customer service training... read more

We are not from North Carolina and so we are staying at a hotel close to the Gate City location. The drive-through attendant was very rude to us. They didn't have something at this location that one of us wanted and so it took us a minute to figure out what we wanted. The attendant started rushing us (with attitude) so we didn't even get the correct order to her because we were all flustered with how rude she was being. She didn't read the order back to us, didn't give us any napkins, straws or spoons for the items we ordered and didn't ask if we needed sauce for our chicken tenders. Although we aren't from here, we do come to NC often but we will NOT be returning to this location ever again. read more

Bad attitude, orders are almost always wrong or missing an item, workers don't care, this place is as ghetto gets and unless you know how to tell them and get what you want don't come to this location read more

Wow - Avoid this location of this restaurant chain...talk about a miserable experience!! Not sure what's up with the moral at this place, but in my opinion, adding just a basic level of nice would be a huge improvement and major step forward! Just think, what if, they actually attempted to show some appreciation for their customers!! I asked gal at the window if she was having a bad day, she mumbled something, just closed the window and looked away -- don't misunderstand me, I do NOT want or expect any special treatment, but basic courtesies are typically appreciated by customers. You know, "a HELLO.....A simple THANK YOU" - again just simple basic stuff. Milkshake was good but it's takes more than a good milkshake to retain customers and earn good reviews. Curious if I'll hear any type reply from management....very doubtful. Lastly - ** folks that are fortunate enough to have employment right now, should be appreciative, and realize there are tons of folks looking for work, and you, yes you, can be replaced. Actually, that was not the last of this review -- just hit me...have you ever glanced inside this location, you know from the drive-thru window -- the employees are "packed in like sardines".....how does that comply with distancing in the work place, and is there any guidelines for a tiny place like this - should they be wearing masks maybe?...........something for all of us to think about when deciding which take-out place we want to support. read more

Workers are impolite and untimely. Orders were wrong and took forever to come out, despite no orders in front of us. Worker stated that she was treated poorly when I placed the order after waiting for 10 minutes for a response. Additionally, I was insulted and made fun of as I ordered. read more

Food quality was up to cook out standard but the brain cell count is not. I asked for a double corn dog tray and I only received one corn dog so all I'm saying is check the quantity of your food. I also hope they get their $h!t together. It is also not the first time read more

Don't bother coming to this location unless you want low quality service and food, not to mention a completely incorrect order. Cookout USED to be a decent place read more

This is primarily a North Carolina chain, with a few spots in Tennessee, Virginia, and South Carolina. It was started in Greensboro, and now has over 100 locations. They specialize in char-grilled hamburgers, hot dogs, NC BBQ, milkshakes, no inside seating, and double sided drive thru windows that are a nightmare for the old, the young, and those hung over. The hamburgers are pretty darn good, with just enough grease to make it interesting. Go with the "Cook-Out" style; leave the "Western" style alone. The hot dogs are also char-grilled, and are actually pretty good - nice chili. But they are served in those Styrofoam coffins - dogs should be properly, lovingly wrapped - foil, wax paper, or even napkin - but no Styrofoam. The NC BBQ is not bad, but definitely not prepared in house, and nowhere near NC's best - some folks might want to make note of that, and try NC BBQ at a real NC BBQ joint. As to the milkshake, just go with the Hershey's Chocolate, everything else is second place, at best. read more

The main attraction that makes Cookout stand out from the other fast food spots is their Cookout Tray. i always get the BBQ tray. This combo allows a choice of a main item, two sides, and a beverage. Since we're in NC, I suggest Cheerwine or a sweet tea. Cookout is a late night spot: some locations are open until 4am. read more

Cook Out - a hamburger and tater tots on a tray - Hot Dogs Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

You can never go wrong with eating at cookout. Yes I know sometimes the orders get messed up but the food is always good. I usually order the bbq sandwich tray but lately I have been getting the cajun chicken sandwich and the chicken is always tender and juicy but definitely not cajun lol. I wish they would fry the fries a little longer but they taste great with cheese and cajun seasoning. The sweet tea never disappoints me or my girls. read more

Cook Out.... A guilty pleasure of mine 4 many, many years lol. @ times, the Variety alone, is what has me choosing this place over others. Sometimes I'm in the mood 4 a gud burger & the Cheddar style is my FaV! The chicken, hotdogs/corndogs & sides r always Tasty.....It's my go-to place 2 find gud/quick BBQ! Omg, the Shakes r amazing & the lil Cheesecake slices r delicious treats w/ all the Dif toppings: the caramel & cherry r the Best!.... It's a cheap thrill I indulge in @ the spur of the moment & I never regret going! :-) PS!!!! Whoa....wait a min! I've always wanted 2 say this: Please please CHANGE your chili recipe. I've Never liked it. It gives me heart burn & I'm belching it up for days/hours (sorry not sorry) lol. But really, I'm being honest. That's the only thing that disappoints me :( read more

Cook Out - 1 cute Hott Dogg....Pepé #mymutt :-) - Hot Dogs Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

This is literally the worst cookout I have ever been to. We was in the line for over 45 minuets. They couldn't take an order right. Had to repeat it multiple times. They cut the speaker off in the middle of us ordering and started taking the other lines order. Once we got our food, they didn't give us our drinks or milkshake and acted like we didn't even order it. They don't know how to make sweet tea. I got a burnt ass grilled chicken sandwich (and it was supposed to be a crispy chicken sandwich) and soggy ass fries. The only thing they seemed to know how to do right was corn dogs, which isn't hard considering they are frozen anyways. Not to mention their attitudes sucked ass. 10 out of 10 would not recommend to anyone else wanting cookout food. All in all, this cookout SUCKS!!!!!!!!! And I would give it zero stars if it was allowed!!! read more

This Cook Out is the worst for me. It's hit or miss and it misses more than hits. Ordered a Big Double with cheese and I opened the tray to make sure the fries were hot. I guess I should have checked the burger. The patties were burnt and looked old like they had been sitting under a warmer for hours. Years ago this same location gave me food poisoning that lasted for about 5 days. They obviously don't value anybody well being because 3 stars let a lone several stars is just poor. read more

Worst location they have in the state period. Bad attitudes and food consistently wrong. I ordered from here the other day and of course they were moving super slow. They charged me for nuggets had to ask for them because they left them out and no straws and no condiments! Good thing I checked my bag...the only reason y'all still open because y'all have cheap prices...avoid this location if possible read more

A great drive thru restaurant with the best bang for your buck for amount of food, food quality, and size of menu. However, this particular location plagues the normally highly-praised name of Cook Out's late night offerings with slow service, incorrect orders, and jarring service staff. Be ready to set aside anywhere from 10 minutes to half an hour waiting in line in the drive thru just to place your order. But don't expect your order to be right, just because you ask for something specifically. You will get the staff's interpretation of what you want and nothing more. read more

Everything I ordered at this location was absolutely nasty! First time eating at this Cook Out. They were also very slow. I have never had an experience like this one at any other Cook Out. The food was dry and tasted like it had been sitting around all day. Definitely wasn't fresh. I ordered 2 hot dogs, chicken nuggets, & a crispy cajun chicken wrap. read more

The Cook-Out will not receive any more of my business. While on a visit here from Chicago, I was told that I must must must try the North Carolina BBQ, that I would roll in my eventual grave if I didn't! Okay, fine. I'm game and I love me some good BBQ. The BBQ, along with other BBQ's around the area serve Lexington style, which is vinegar based. I am more of a Memphis rub, or Western style BBQ gal. It was tasty and overall the food is good. What I don't appreciate is a business throwing politics or religion in my face. I am very happy that you have a faith that you rely and depend upon, if that is your preference, good for you. Putting bible quotes on your drink cups, your sandwich wrappers, your fry packets is down right disgusting. Its degrading to those who either do not worship your God, or have faith in another. WWJD? He wouldn't put Bible verses on food wrappers. I don't think He'd be that tacky. read more

If you are going to have a double drive thru, you need to get it together. Moved to the shorter line as the sign said, and three cars ordered and left that were after me. Repeatedly asked for assistance with no response. Waited for over 20 minutes before there was opening to leave- still without ordering. read more

Anyone who rates Cook Out as lower than five stars is clearly some kind of kitten-hating Communist*. These are the best burgers I've ever eaten. It beats In-N-Out, Shake Shack, 5 Napkin - you name me any burger joint and Cook Out blows it out of the water. I don't care if they're doing pagan sacrifices inside those tiny buildings, if that is what's making the food so delicious. The burgers are TDF (I go all-out and order my burger "Carolina style," with chili, onions, and mustard. But they're also amazing with all the normal fixings), the hot dogs are amazing (and the corndogs too), and the sides are all the most delicious, greasy, awesome sides you can possibly invent. The hush puppies in particular are INCREDIBLE. And the milkshakes! They must have at least twenty flavors, with a few seasonal ones thrown in. I wouldn't recommend getting a burger and a shake, as it might kill you, but damn...those are some excellent milkshakes. My favorite is the Mint Chocolate Chip (after eating all the milkshake part, there's a good two inches of chocolate shavings too big to go up the straw hiding in the bottom of the cup - yummmmm). Is it a little sketchy? Yeah, the drive-thru/walk-up window aspect is a little sketch, but be brave. It's so worth it. *I have nothing against Communists, actually. read more

I asked for extra ice. Nope didn't get it. This will be the second time I didn't get my change correctly given to me. First was seven dollars. Which obviously did not find in the till at the end of night because window person pocketed it. Tonight I did not get 29 cents because they did not have change. Really that was last year. We have coins now. He refuse to give me any change. So you have lost a customer! read more

Once again, another burger and dawg spot that I wish we had in Georgia. So what if the buildings are small and you only have the option of walking up to the window and placing your order, or going to the drive-thru? It's worth it! Cook-Out on Summit was the go-to spot when I was a student at NC A&T State University. Nothing helped fuel all-night study sessions more than a Carolina dog tray with rings and fries(always had to add the Cajun seasoning for that extra kick!) with one of their wicked Oreo, Snickers or M&M shakes alongside. The dogs are chargrilled(of course) and easily beat out the legendary Yum Yums on Spring Garden. The burgers??? Man, oh, manishewitz.. Forget that McDonalds, Wendy's and Burger King(and I'm assuming Sonic is still there) are all within a stone's throw. Cook Out has the best burgers on the strip hands-down! I always order mine the same way-add grilled onions, lettuce, ketchup and mayo. Thick, homestyle and juicy, they make the neighbors look absolutely miserly. What kept this review from being a 5-star sweep? I love BBQ, and I guess my affinity for Stamey's and Short Sugars(Reidsville) swayed my tastebuds. Cook Out's BBQ lacked flavor and was pretty dry. I couldn't detect any of the smoky, hickory flavor in the sauce, and I ended up adding Arby sauce to mine to improve the taste (They give you packets of Texas Pete hot sauce, but I hate the stuff.) read more

I'm extremely disappointed in this location!!! Upon arriving, it was discovered that there were no quesadillas available! I have been to many cookouts, and this is the only one which doesn't offer quesadillas. Do not go to this cookout if you want quesadillas because even though their menu says they offer quesadillas, it is a lie. Very disappointed and will never be returning. read more

Exceeded my expectations. Fast friendly service with good food and great prices. Beware of the combo tray! It will fill you up!!A varied menu with the most outstanding shakes I've ever tasted! read more

Not a big fan of the location limited outside seating. One annoying thing I noticed is when I was given my food they forgot to give me napkins. I like Cook Out and the concept just this location is not a favorite. read more

This review is only for the Oreo Mint milkshake that graced my palate last night. In town for a wedding, a local North Carolinan friend insisted that we go to Cook Out for shakes. I was skeptical until I saw the three thousand flavor options (okay, exaggeration) for $2.69... a steal. The milkshake was delicious. And cheap. Cook Out, I'll be back for your peanut butter banana. read more

Two words...Watermelon Shake Apprehensive at first, I decided to try this season milkshake about 4 years ago and it is now my favorite flavor. The banana pudding shake is delicious as well. Actually u won't be disappointed with any of their milkshakes flavors. Oh yeah...the food is pretty good too :-) read more

Just waited for 40 mins to get the wrong order. Everyone if you decide to go here double-check your food as they cannot get it right. Don't understand how they are that slow and get the order wrong. Never again... read more
