The men's bathroom was an abomination, DES should be called. Bodily fluids solids were all on the wall, floor and sink. Burgers were burnt and order was wrong. Piss poor experience. We were in a rush and had not eaten in hours after a very long day - will never stop at a cookout again. read more

We stopped here on our way to the movies one evening trying to get some grub before popcorn being our only choice. The food was really good! I didn't realize this was a chain. We are still learning the area. I got a cheeseburger with grilled jalapeños, onion, lettuce, and ketchup. It was soooooooo good! Extremely filling too. I got a side of the Cajun fries and a drink. I loved all the Bible verses on the packaging. Nice little reminders as we sit and are thankful for our food and many blessings! During our visit, the computers had gone down, and that held things up a bit since you couldn't pay with card. Thankfully, it was sorted fairly quick since we were on a time schedule. I prefer this as my go to for a burger, and the prices are very reasonable! read more

At around 10:40 we went to cookout on Tuesday 10/7/25. An older white gentlemen ('m not sure I'd use that word to describe him) asked if we had "four trays". I misheard him and thought he said "four shakes" so I confirmed. My friends in the car quickly told me he actually said tray, so I tried to get his attention by saying "excuse me" 3 times. He didn't hear me either, which is no problem at all. He then handed me a drink carrier with 4 cups. When it was in the car and I had handed him my credit card, he stated that he was confused. It was "four trays and four drinks". I told him "I'm sorry, I misheard you, we had four shakes". He instantly became annoyed and stated that I had just paid for the order behind me, which was 2x as much as mine and berated me, saying "all you had to do was say yes that's mine". He handed me the four shakes (after taking back the drinks) that I apparently just paid for twice over and I politely thanked him and drove away. After waiting in the drive through for 30 minutes and dealing with a rude man who thought it was appropriate to speak to costumers like that I did not feel like challenging him to correct my order or let him know that it is his job to know what car ordered what. Maybe he enjoys acting like that towards young girls, but that attitude should be left at the door before clocking in. I wish I had gotten the money that was stolen from me, but I did not want to risk an altercation with a deranged man holding mystery drinks who clearly had no self control or manners. read more

Worst cookout experience I've ever had. Woman working tonight was very rude to all customers and told us that the lobby was closed at 1:53 when online it said it closed at 2:00am leaving us sitting on the curb for the night until our new uber came to pick us up. DO NOT GIVE THIS PLACE BUSINESS. I love cookout and by far the worst experience I've ever had. read more

Pork is very bland lacking sauce Fries was cold Hush puppy was best part of the dinner but they was lacking that vinegar hint Garbage can was overflowing And staff just standing around bs ing Restrooms very in need of cleaning Not going back Do not recommend it at all This is really bad chain store food Pork is dry and they only put a drop of sweet sauce on it read more

DISGUSTING. I opened my chicken wrap and found a GLOVE inside of it. Then when i asked for a refund the manager said "the glove is clean tho" WHAT????? As I'm asking for a refund, both managers were being reluctant to do so. The inside was TERRIBLE. Don't even waste your time read more

This is a double burger??!! What kind of crap food are they making here? Took 20 min for drive thru, and the food still sucked. read more

Cook Out - This is a double burger??!! What kind of crap ate they putting out at this location? - Barbeque Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

I would give this restaurant a zero if that was possible. Rude person took our order Sunday night. Order was prepared wrong, not all ingredients included on burger. Person who "fixed" it was also short with me and didn't fix it correctly. The thin burger patties were way over cooked and had no flavor. Tables were filthy, we had to clean them ourselves. Only thing that was up to standard was the soft drink machine worked properly. That is it. I don't understand why so many people flock to this place. I guess they feel like they are getting a deal with the two side items. I will not be back. read more

Cheap decent food. I feel like the quality has gone down since the pandemic started. Not sure if they changed food vendors or what but you can absolutely tell a difference. The patties on the double burger are thin. The chicken quesadilla barely had chicken in it. The milkshakes are still pretty good. read more

Sat in the drive thru for ~15 mins while most of the employees were standing around outside talking to each other. Ended up going inside to order, which I was able to do so immediately. The drink machines were out of almost all soda syrups, and one was overflowing with dumped ice and soda and was dripping onto the floor. Food came out quickly, but the fries looked and tasted like they'd been sitting in the freezer for a month before being cooked. Love cook out, but this location is very poorly managed. read more

Price for trays was decent. Food was not good. Burger I ordered had 2 mini patties. Wife's BBQ sandwich didn't taste right. Fries were dry. Daughters cokefloat looked more like vanilla icecream in chocolate milk. At least strawberry shake was good!! read more

Meh, nothing to write home about. It was okay. It's just a fast food joint that isn't named McDonald's, Hardee's, Burger King, etc. The food was cheap and decent. Ya get whatcha pay for! Restaurant was clean, didn't use the restrooms. They have Cheerwine - yum! The Cook Out Tray is a good size for 2 small kids to share, but not enough for adults to share. The chicken quesadilla was pretty good, it actually tasted like something from Taco Bell. The burger patty had a chargrill flavor like Burger King. I was a little disappointed that I only got 4 small onion rings for one of my sides (they were good though). Don't know if I would go back. read more

Extremely quick drive through line during the late hours of the night. Burger and milkshakes were as expected.

got all the way home and they just ... didn't give me my tray! Thanks guys! glad everyone else got to eat but me!

A five star visit as always, I came in on Friday for a tray and a drink. The burger, fries, nuggets and quesadillas were delicious and the ice cold Cheerwine hit the spot! I wish more places would offer Cheerwine. Thanks, Cookout! read more

We love cook out!! Best BBQ and milkshakes!!! but the best thing about this cookout is the lady at the front grandma She is so sweet and friendly, and the best Customer Service ever!!! read more

The only thing cookout still has going for them is the fact that they stay open longer than most other restaurant. That is it. You never get what you ordered with these ppl. read more

Came here for a quick snack before starting our day. We were greeted quickly. It wasn't busy at all. I was surprised considering it was a sunday afternoon. We each got the chili dog and a side of chicken nuggets and a chicken wrap. Sweet tea is awesome like always. Overall, pleased with the experience. read more

I asked for double cheese bits they only gsve me 10 thats crazy asf. Then my burger was made wrong most definitely not going back.

Oof... the side portions they give you at this location are pretty comical. Staff is alright.. had a weird experience with a guy working there telling us about how much he wants to quit. Pretty funny but kind of awkward. Good value I guess ‍ read more

I enjoy coming here..better than the Greer location..food is great..disappointed prices have gone up..Since the coronavirus epidemic,this location has installed a walk up service window since can't go inside..this keeps traffic running smoothly at drive thru service..not as busy like it was two weeks ago,but once this epidemic is over with every business will be booming once more. read more

I like the milkshakes here. I always like to get the watermelon milkshake in July and August. The sweet tea is also pretty good. They have very cheap food the cookout tray comes with so much food but the food is....something you eat because you're starving and nothing is open. I don't like the food because it doesn't taste good to me. I feel like I am eating fake meat, even more so than many other fast food places. read more

after I got my food the lady at the window asked if I like peanut butter. I obviously said yes and she gave me a free peanut butter shake. Easily the greatest fast food experience I've ever had. Spend all of your money here. read more

Where to begin! Usually I love this cookout but tonight I was shell shocked. First of all, they forgot one of my items which is understandable at fast food. But then... this! My girlfriend found a DEAD BUG in the middle of her milkshake! We will not be returning to this location. read more

Every time we pass this place the parking lot is overflowing with cars so we thought something good must be going on, and we weren't disappointed when we tried it for lunch today. Even though the line inside to place an order was snaked around the dining area, we made it to the counter in a reasonable amount of time and our order was taken by a very friendly young man. They did a great job at handling the crowd, including a bus load of people that walked in when we were there. The food was good and very reasonably priced - your choice of a variety of burgers, chicken or BBQ sandwiches, even quesadillas - plus two sides and a drink for $4.59. And don't leave without ordering one of 40 different milkshakes, such as the banana pudding flavor with bits of cookie in it. Yum. Worth fighting the crowd and waiting for a seat. read more

I've had better, but this place deserves a solid 3 star review. I've actually decided to up it to 4 stars for the delicious milkshake I got - peanut butter chocolate - amazing! Everything else is just about the same as anywhere else - place was clean, selection was good and staff were better than most! read more

Greatest "value meal" in Greenville. I agree, the food does come out a bit smashed but it tastes good anyway. We had the big double burger trays with cole slaw, fries & onion rings. They hubby complained that his burger was greasy, but he ordered his steakhouse style, which includes grilled onions. I pointed out to him, they are most likely cooked in tons of grill butter (aka- oil). Must have been good, because a day later he's mentioned it several times. The cole slaw is yummy, as were the onion rings. Hubby loved the fries too! This isn't fancy fare, if your looking to spend $15 on a snooty meat patty on bread, go a few miles away to Grill Marks. If your needing GOOD and fast food, this is your place. read more

Don't get me wrong, I love Cook Out. I CRAVE their hushpuppies, and nothing beats hitting this classic joint up after a night out. However, I was quite disappointed in our service at this particular Cook Out. My friends and I stopped by after drinks on a weekend night (around 11pm...nothing too crazy). We ordered, and we waited 25 minutes...yes, 25 minutes...for all of our food to be called out. This is a fast food establishment, folks. After much disgruntled arguing, they did comp one of the meals that took the longest to come out. But, I definitely won't be coming back here! read more

Wow, okay I asked of a BBQ sandwich because it's usually really good, but I always ask for fries instead of coleslaw and fried cheese( or whatever it is). But apparently "Erica" can't grasp that sentence when it was restated twice to her!!! C'mon get your stuff together.... read more

Love this place. Where else can you get a hamburger plate with cole slaw and onion rings for $5.00? This location is my go-to place for a quick bite, and a really tasty milkshake. Until this past Sunday after church. Pulled in the drive-through at 1:15 PM with around 9 cars in front of me. Did not move one inch for 12 minutes. . . ??? Snails pace for another 10 minutes, but finally got to order. Sat at the window with my drinks for another 10 minutes . . . chaos in the kitchen was obvious. Finally got my food and pulled away at 1:54 PM. So, let me just say, "Never on Sunday!" Hey manager! What gives? Get it together! read more

I really have only tried one thing at cookout and it's the milkshakes. So until I eat something there, I'll review the milkshakes. I have tried a few different flavors. I have had the peanut butter, Reese's, caramel, and chocolate chip cheesecake. Each one was thick and creamy and full of flavor. The problem I had with the cheesecake one is that all of the cheesecake was at the bottom of the cup so there was no flavor of cheesecake until you got down. My biggest complaint is that if you try to drink a milkshake from cookout with a straw you are likely to pop a blood vessel. That's how thick they are. Definitely need a spoon so if you are driving it probably isn't a good idea read more

Very polite order taker at drive- thru; easy to understand; very accommodating for a newcomer. Excellent chili on my hot dog!

To be honest. The food is good if you want something quick and cheep! Service is great. The price is just right but once again you get what you pay for when it comes to food read more

Too bad there's no stars greater than 5 stars. I went here at 1 AM right after watching Star Wars VII. The dude working the counter was very inviting. His name was Isaac. I asked Isaac about suggestions and he told me he only gets a double burger with bacon, cheese, grilled onions and mayonnaise. I called it the IsaacBurger and I ordered, ate and loved it so much that I suggested it be a regular on the menu. My only regret is the next time I return to cookout and I mention Isaac burger they won't understand what I mean. I loved it so much I'm giving the IsaacBurger, Isaac, and Cookout 5 stars. I shall return for it. It was nothing I expected but everything I wanted. I read more

I got there at 11:50 pm on a Thursday night . They lock the lobby at 12 midnight , the drive thru was hopping . I waited 35 minutes on a quesadilla tray . It was ridiculous . The girl behind the counter was ready to go home and complaining about being short staffed . She cursed when someone knocked on the door at midnight . She informed everyone not to let another person in she was "done". I wanted to just get my money back and go but she disappeared . Finally my food was ready , I got in the car , it was a cheeseburger !!! No way to get back in and the drive thru was backed up . Not a good night . read more
