Will R.

Better rating these times around. The food is still the same cookout taste and menu as years past, which is good and consistent (especially their bbq sandwich, which I find very underrated for a fast food location). The past few times, the visits were pleasant and never felt rushed putting in my order while inside and a line growing. Inside itself is fairly clean for the most part; good amount of seats inside and out. Always gave me more than enough sauce when I've asked.

I had to try Cookout which is a Greensboro staple. The food was really inexpensive, which is a plus, especially in an area that has a lot of college students. The food was nothing to write home about; however the milkshakes are really good.

Really?
Meghan P.

Food good, nothing special, just like any other cookout. On the other hand...ordered a milkshake and clearly the cup busted before leaving the store and they thought a receipt sticker would do.

I wanted a mint chocolate chip milkshake and went into the cookout and ordered two. I got the drinks and they both looked like a chocolate milkshake. I asked them about it but they said that if I mixed it I would see the green??? I went out tasted the shake and boom its chocolate. I go back inside and tell then its just a chocolate shake (cause u know mint chocolate chip is green and got chocolate chips in it) and they take it back and fix it for me. Turns out after 5 more minutes of waiting they bring me back the same drinks with some green syrup on top...... still 0 chocolate chips, still same chocolate milkshake.... I just wanted my mint chocolate chip milkshake. Rip

Carolina burger with Cajun fries and cheese bites
Brian P.

Been coming here for years. This one happens to be near my new house. So glad they have the "Walking taco". Sometimes you come to a cookout and they don't have it. Got a typical Carolina burger with the Cajun fries and cheese bites. Delicious as always. I tend to come earlier so they aren't precook if burgers. Shake was a chocolate with chocolate chips and cheesecake. Yeah I know.... It's all diet food. Everything was great and the cashier was super friendly.

No chicken in my chicken bacon ranch wrap
Caleb B.

I order a chicken bacon ranch wrap with no ranch add barbecue. There's no chicken, just chicken lettuce and barbecue sauce. They were polite when I was there but I didn't notice till returning to work with no time to make it right. Called and got no answer.....No chicken is devious work.

Not the cheesecake in my cheesecake milkshake.
Briana H.

This is the closest cookout to me, but it might be worth a drive to avoid it the future. Last time I went there was a small piece of plastic in my milkshake, but I took it in stride. Accidents happen. Today there's a whole piece of... something. It's unacceptable.

Shakes are still good. Food not so much. Tasteless, overcooked and sloppy. Will go back for shakes but not for food!

I love a good burger and always get an egg on it! So I am often on the lookout for someplace that…read moreoffers them this style, not just fast food. I was looking online for lunch specials and this place popped up saying they have a $6.95 all day monday special, so, after seeing that they offer egg on the burger and how good this deal was (plus a side) I decided to give it a try. The place was not super busy when we arrived, but I do think we missed the lunch rush as the staff was cleaning and restocking. Even though it had clearly been busy it was very clean and the decor did not feel dated and was pretty standard for a place that is borderline fast food. However, it did not taste like fast food. I ordered a burger with egg, cheese, and pulled pork. It was a perfectly cooked medium rare with the fried egg over easy. It was absolutely packed with savory flavor and a slight sweetness in the pulled pork. The egg was runny, just liked i like it, and had slightly crispy edges. The bread for the burger was fluffy and a little sweet, a perfect pairing. I ordered the tater tots as my side and they were nicely seasoned and crunchy on the outside but hot and soft inside. So so good! I will 1000% be back for this deal! If you are looking for an affordable delicious lunch and dont want a drive through check them out!

I ordered onion rings as my side. They are cut in house and hand breaded. They also come with a dipping sauce. The onion rings were good but greasy. Next time, I'll opt for the hand cut French fries! The serving size of fries is enormous! Food order is placed at a counter. If you chose to eat in, you're given a number and food is brought to your table. Only tables in this restaurant: some with only chairs and others with chairs on one side and a bench seat on the other side. All seats are hard, and with NO padding. The restaurant had a good business, with 80% capacity inside and people coming in and out constantly for to go orders. I ended up here because the restaurant I planned to visit was closed for renovations. I feel like it was my lucky day, as this burger was much better than I would have gotten there. I will return!

Thank you to the young lady that had more than enough patience with me, as I changed my mind several times about the burger I wanted. I settled on the Lonestar burger with a side of chili cheese fries and honestly couldn't finish it. The burger would have been more than enough! Layered with a criminal amount of toppings, the onion rings and bacon with the sauce was just indulgent, really a great burger! I had to end up spitting my food with my family, because in comes the chili cheese fries for the finisher! It was an entire carry out tray filled with cheese sauce and chili. One of the best burger places I've been to on the Triad!

After ordering, it took maybe 5 minutes to get our food which felt decent for the fresh food! There was a steady flow of to-go orders so it seems to be a popular spot. I ordered the Popper Topper Burger, although I do get the jalapeños on the side. I was expecting a little bit more to be honest. It was cheesy and delicious, but the patty itself was lacking any flavor. This was shocking because the menu described it to be "Cajun seasoned" but it felt very plain. The fries were my favorite part by far!!! Unlike other places, this had plenty of toppings. Normally, once you eat the top layer the underside is dry. Not here! I was covered in cheese sauce by the end of the meal. If you're in the mood for some really good fries, definitely check it out!

I ordered through Uber Eats, so I can't fairly rate the atmosphere or service. This review is based…read moresolely on the food. I ordered the Daddy's Philly with a side of pesto pasta salad and banana pudding. The Phily was really good. It came loaded with cheese, mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, jalapeños and Garlic mayo on a soft bun that wasn't soggy or stale. I was a little surprised because, despite the jalapeños, I didn't find it spicy at all. I love garlic but I think I would prefer regular mayo to the garlic mayo. Compared to other cheesesteaks I've had, I'd give it a 7.5/10. Instead of fries, I chose the pesto pasta salad. The pasta itself had the perfect chewy texture, and I honestly wanted to keep eating it. Unfortunately, it was too salty for my palate. I could only manage a couple of bites, which was disappointing because the texture was amazing.....like how do you get your pasta to that texture, spill the beans! Haha For dessert, I tried the banana pudding. It was good, but it wasn't my favorite style. I personally prefer banana pudding that's light, fluffy, and silky. This one was much thicker and heavier than what I grew up eating, so it just wasn't my preference. Overall, I enjoyed the meal, especially the Daddy's Philly. Of course, everyone's tastes are different, so these are simply my personal preferences. I'd still encourage you to give it a try and decide for yourself. Ciao for now!

Which is saying a lot as there are many hidden gems in this area. But Freeman's really does find a way to shine in its own right. Every meal I've had there felt like a warm hug. The food always seemed fresh and prepared with quality ingredients. I was always surprised to find such unique options whenever I visited. The building also feels like such a cozy hangout spot. And the servers always seem welcoming. There's just something magical happening here that you have to visit to understand. Gosh, just writing this is making me want to go back right now! Definitely check Freeman's out if you find yourself in the area or passing through. They're a solid local business worthy of your patronage, and I would love to see them keep making the magic that they do for many, many years to come.

The service isn't going to be in and out as this isn't a large place with lots of wait staff. Expect to be here at least an hour. They have Coors on draft (nostalgia for the Mr.) and tall boy PBRs. Not your thing? Don't let that deter you bc they are one of the few places I have seen who has Old Rasputin on DRAFT. Those not familiar, this is a Russian imperial stout by North Coast Brewery out of Ft Bragg, California. Something I haven't had since... well, I lived in California. Personally, one of my favorite stouts. Beer not your thing? They have an array of specialty contrails and some solid liquor choices including buffalo trace's limited purchase bourbon (eagle rare/ blantons). Food: the Brussels, sandwiches, and salads looked amazing (neighboring patting got those). We split a few things: Brisket: nit the best I have ever had, but solid choice. Maybe not for the $, but it was fall apart brisket. Wings: these are crispy fried with sauce on the side. A little hard but good. Not my favorite. The poutine was by far a favorite with the melty cheese and the gravy was delicious. We also had the street corn and with the lime was pretty good as well. These 4 things were plenty for the 2 of us with a little extra. We didn't mind paying the extra because of the experience. I did about die of heat, but I should have put a hair the in my bag and wore a skit or just not jeans. We will definitely be back.
