a menu for a fast food restaurant
Darren Y.

Greensboro classic drive in. The place seems to be packed at all hours. Pro tip - do the walk up to avoid the long line of cars. Their shakes are thick - more like mcflurry like. You can mix in unlimited goodies and they have a long list. Got the chocolate malt and Oreo. Pretty good. Cheesecake is a nice add on as well. Fries were ok - I'm told the cheese bites are the bomb - as is the cheerwine float

Char Grilled Hot Dogs with chilli and double fries
Issa S.

They are ok. They have their good days and bad days. But overall the food is edible. Just make sure you have enough fries for double fries

Caramel Fudge and Chocolate Mint shake

If I want fast-food and I want a lot for my buck, I always go to Cook Out and get a Cookout Tray. You get a main protein (hamburger, BBQ, hot dogs quesadilla, or chicken sandwich plus two sides and a drink for like $5. And the sides are not just the standards of fries or onion rings, you can get a corndog, chicken nuggets, hushpuppies, or a wrap for example. You can also upgrade to shake for your beverage or a specialty "style" protein for very cheap. So much food! My husband and I tend to split the tray if not going for full-on indulgence. I tend to get the Cheddar Style burger (cheddar cheese, bacon, grilled onions, mayo) and like to mix up my sides. On my last drive-thru visit I got Hush puppies (my most common choice as they are delicious- nice and crispy on outside and soft inside) and Cajun fries. They are happy to supply ketchup and honey mustard on request. I am not a big soda person, so I always go for the shake upgrade. My husband religiously orders the Caramel Fudge shake, while I like to mix that up too. This time I got Chocolate Chip Mint. I also like Cheesecake, Heath Toffee, and Chocolate Nut. Their shakes are super filling, nice and thick. Sometimes they don't do a good job of spreading out the inclusions throughout. One cannot (should not) eat Cook Out often, yes the food is greasy, heavy, and fattening but it's supposed to be. Whenever I decide to treat myself with fast-food this is my go-to, everything in moderation, right?

Spicy, Crispy Chicken Sandwich - this is a very nice sandwich.
Fred B.

I left impressed with the service at this location, and I've always been a fan of the food. Tried their Spicy, Crispy Sandwich which I thought was better than the same sandwich at Wendy's, and I like that sandwich. The Double Cheeseburger with L, T, & Mayo was very good, better than most such burgers at fast food restaurants. The Hot Dog was good, once the rather strong, probably old chopped onions were disposed of. FFs were as good as usual. Liked the food, loved the friendly, very pleasant, very efficient service here - not always so at other locations, at least, that has been my experience.

Aye this last night and it was so terrible. Nuggets were cold, fries hard. The tea wasn't as sweet as it usually is, so disappointed.

Nostalgic and hits every time. It had been a while but we popped in here after grabbing dinner so…read moreskipped hot dogs this time and went for ice cream. The ice cream is homemade - smooth, old-school, and easily justifiable you can also grab Coke's in the old glass bottles and you even though I didn't get hot dogs this time, trust me when I say they're awesome. All the way is the only way. The service is always quick and friendly and the atmosphere takes you back in time. A classic hot dog and ice cream place in Greensboro.

I don't add ketchup or mustard. Didn't think about it til Bae mentioned he didn't taste them. Whoops! Service is pretty quick. They are good at what they do - hot dogs. Plus you can get ice cream for a little sweet treat after your meal. Pro tip: bring cash to avoid the card usage fee. Parking is 30 minutes. It can be a little crowded at lunch but it turns over pretty quickly. The warmer the weather the larger the crowd. At least in my experience. Also, please don't race down spring garden street. The posted speed limit is 25. There is plenty of onsite parking and hot dogs to go around. Why a 4? This place is no less beloved with this rating. Takes a lot for me to give a 5.

As someone who considers themselves kind of an authority on the humble hot dog (it's a taco by the…read moreway, not a sandwich), it's kind of surprising it took me this long to visit this Greensboro local staple on A&T's campus. Well, I happened to be out and about while a lot of people weren't just after the heavy snowstorm on that Monday, and happened to be in the area. Hot Dogs sounded great, so I pulled in. One thing you definitely cannot argue with is the price, especially on a Monday and Wednesday, where they feature all hot dogs for $1.25. A sum that is safe to say, ultra-rare, in this day and age. Going along with that, this place is pretty humble, as you might expect. Could use a little TLC, but of course that also comes with costs. Ultimately, if your hot dog slaps, you could just be serving off a plastic folding table for all I care. I ordered two Aggie dogs, side of onion rings, large half sweet half unsweet tea. One of the foibles of this place is that it is very hard to hear the person on the other end of the drive-thru speaker. But he eventually repeated back to me my correct order. Drove around and paid, then pulled up to the window where they give you your food. I'm not sure what went wrong here, but even though I was the only person there, I got someone else's order. Didn't realize that until I drove away, but luckily, I didn't go far. Realized it when I put my straw in and took a sip of Coke, not tea. Kind of wish I had kept the Coke. I did not enjoy the tea. It had a strange flavor. Other than the tea, now that I had the correct order... again, for the price, it was pretty strong. Messy hot dogs on soft buns, but tasty indeed. The Aggie dogs are basically your classic all-the-way southern dog with chili, slaw, mustard, onion. I got the beef hot dogs (they also offer turkey), great flavor on the frank, chili and slaw perfectly good. I could have downed 4 of these easy, and maybe next time I will at that price and forego any sides. The onion rings were actually nice though, very crispy, tasty. Anyhow, I bet you cannot beat this for cheap hot dogs anywhere in town, if not for the chaos on getting my correct order (and whatever happened with the tea) I would have surely given this a 5 on value and taste for said value.

They give you that Cheers kind of vibe where everybody knows your name. They remember you, make you feel welcome, and genuinely seem happy to see you walk through the door.

The burger was well seasoned, the bacon was nice and crispy, and there was a generous amount of bleu cheese to bring everything together. Between the consistently good food and the welcoming atmosphere, this is exactly what you want in a neighborhood bar. Great food, great people, and a place that makes you want to keep coming back!

I didn't have fond memories of my previous order, but this time around left a much different impression. My friend and I arrived around 5:45, and were welcomed in by the bartender. They told us to could sit anywhere where wanted, and they brought us menus once we found our seats. They've got plenty of tvs on the walls to catch any and all games at the same time. The menu offer s a great variety of burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, flat breads and salads. They also have a massive selection of bottled/canned beers, along with 16 different beers on tap. It took me a bit to make a decision, but something drew me to the meatloaf sandwich, and I have no regrets. It was fantastic, full of flavor, with a fantastic provolone cheese pull. I'm actually trying to figure out when I can go back and get another, sooner than later! For my side, i got tater tots, which they served with home made ranch. everything was fantastic, and great portions! Great visit, friendly staff, huge drink selection and many tasty food options. Go check this spot out...i know I'll be back again soon!
