I rarely review fast food joints but will occasionally make exceptions. I'm not sure why they only have a 2.5 rating though. Everything about this place was great. It's currently only drive thru, and had it had a lot of cars, similar to In N Out. We unfortunately only received two burgers after ordering three. No biggie, just had to back in drive thru and wait a little longer, they were apologetic, gave me my extra burger and we went on our way. Cook Out has some awesome cheap deals. You can get a double cheeseburger, two sides and a drink for only 5.99. And those sides could be a corn dog and a quesadilla. So a double cheeseburger, quesadilla, corn dog and cheerwine all for 5.99. What a damn steal y'all. Not only is the food cheap, but damn was it delicious. The burger tasted so fresh and a delicious ass burger. Reminds me of a double double from In N Out. The corn dog was nothing special but still pretty cool to have as a side. The quesadilla was surprisingly tasty as well. It even packed some heat in every bite. Cook Out definitely rivals the elite burger joints like Whataburger, In N Out and Shake Shack. That's the category Cook Out be in. All the other ones should bow down. read more

I got a chicken wrap like I normally do because I do enjoy the food here and come here frequently, but today I noticed something about the taste that was "chemically" or artificial and when I looked at the chicken it was the texture of soggy instant mashed potatoes. this is genuinely a health concern, I would be worried about your food supplier and the quality of your meats. read more

Cook Out - Burgers Near Me - Hendersonville, North Carolina

Went for lunch today at 12 noon. Our order was taken promptly. Went to get drinks (iced tea) and the drawer of add ons (sweetener, lemons, salt & pepper) were all empty. Couple behind us waited and waited to place their order. Eventually they just left as everyone seemed to be occupied making milkshakes for drive-up customers. My barbecue sandwich was ok. My wife's small hamburger was way over cooked and ultra thin. Onion rings were ok. French fries were cold. Went to wash my hands in the restroom and towel trash can was full, but we were one of only two couples inside so hard to tell when last emptied. As we left the parking lot at least 8 cars were waiting for drive-up orders. Place seems understaffed to provide a higher level of quality and speed. read more

So-so Cook Out. Slow food service; took a while to get someone to come to the counter to take our order, then the food took a while, and then more time for guy to come back to ask for condiments. Food quality was okay but not really good. Burgers were fine, but the chicken wraps were kind of sad and not that good. The sides of onion rings and fries were very small; think I got about four onion rings. Their bathrooms (both men's and women's) needed cleaning; wet floors and the very large trash cans were full of paper towels - clearly they had not been cleaned in a long time. This indicates poor management by not holding employees accountable. read more

I live in Henderson ville and the service tonight was not on I had to wait 25 mins for a milkshake and then she gives me the wrong milkshake

I have been eating lunch there for over a year. Service up till now has been so-so. Today I went in and was greeted with a smile, and "How can I help you?". Very different atmosphere. Everyone was smiling. While I waited for my order, I was slow to pick it up from the counter, so one of the staff started to bring it over, with a smile and a here you go. Great change! Hope it keeps up! I look forward to eating there now! read more

Very BAD service!! EVERY SINGLE TIME I go the order isn't right so I quit going then decide to give another try which I'm done! Ordered onion rings tonight and they are only 4 which was dumped in the bag out of the pouch! This is what the order of onion rings look like! read more

Cook Out - The order of onion rings from cookout in Hendersonville NC! - Burgers Near Me - Hendersonville, North Carolina

I was visiting Hendersonville NC and it was getting late and most places were closed or closing soon. Since I'm not from the area I rely heavily on reviews. Most of the fast food restaurants in the area had very low scores and horrible reviews. So I was super reluctant to grab some fast food for a quick bite. When we arrived there were one or two cars in the drive-through and no one in the dining room. We were greeted immediately. The cashier was very friendly, and knowledgeable. When our food came out, it was hot, fresh and so good. We were very pleasantly surprised. We even saved room for dessert and had a milkshake and a Cheerwine float! read more

Ordered food, was good but they forgot my damn chicken, better to write a review than go back, so check your food make sure you got what u ordered read more

I'm literally stuck in your drive thru. I can't leave, and I can't go foreword. I've been sitting here for about 15 minutes and I haven't seen a single car leave. There's 13 cars in your drive thru and nobody's getting service. And apparently I'm not eating today either. Thanks guys Update: I've been here for 30 mins, left without food and saw all of 10 people get served. Good luck staying open and out of debt with this kind of service / speed read more

This place has mastered their craft. Is it the most giant burger or sandwich I've ever consumed? No. Are you going to drag family member from out of town to eat here? Probably not. But the price is right and the food is fresh and fast. read more

My family and I stumbled across this place on our way to Myrtle Beach, we were actually looking for another restaurant but seen this place and decided to try it out. So they have some different items to choose from and not too bad on price. I got the Out West Style burger as a tray "combo" that comes with two sides and a drink, I just got double fries. Now the problem I have with this place is the food was just ok, nothing special...my burger was like the old saying "Where's the beef?" As you'll see in the pic I posted. They really have a lot of work to do to make this place outstanding. The staff seemed to be alright, but they really don't communicate much, and the place was a bit dirty, tables and the floor. So for this being my family and my first time eating here we really won't be back, we tried it...it was ok....that's about it. read more

THE BEST!!! shoutout Bree and the whole amazing staff for letting our whole youth group in after the dining room had closed. Soooo nice and welcoming even at such a random hour! 10/10 recommend. Made our night. read more

This was my second and last visit. First time, I got a burger. The meat was cut in half. After three bites I opened the bun. It was literally cut in half. Tonight, I got a beef quesadilla. I bit into what tasted like charcoal. I opened it up, and sure enough, the beef was burnt to a crisp. I started getting nauseous, so I asked for a refund. The manager, Jonathan Drummond, said he would lose his job if he gave me a refund, because I had taken a bite out of it. He could make me another one, though. The first one made me sick. There was no way I was going to eat another one. I wouldn't want a man to lose his job, but I would think that Cookout would give him the authority to make things right. At $3 my cost, they probably don't lose a $1 to do what's right. I say don't go to this place. Even McDonald's knows better than to say "It's too bad you took a bite out of it." read more

I had the cheeseburger with hush puppies and a corn dog. There are two drive thru lanes and the inside is not open for business due to COVID19 right now. Didn't take too long to get through the drive thru. Ate my burger in the parking lot before getting back on the interstate. The burger was wicked good. I could've eaten two. I'm not a fan of their Styrofoam to go boxes, because when the hush puppies sit in them for too long, they melt the box, and I wonder how much of that goes in my mouth. read more

The food was great my friend fri Florida are literally cookout everyday at the cookout! She got the meal , hush puppies onion rings, fries and the fancy shakes. It was fast good and that she ordered was good no complaints. read more

Well, I had heard such wonderful things about the food at cookout, so I pulled in and steeled myself for what would be a very long wait indeed, about 45 minutes later I finally got to place my order, and it was ready pretty quickly. Imagine my dismay upon opening the box when I had white cheddar bites that were cold, extremely greasy, and had sat so long that the cheese was a hard blob again instead of melty. It got worse...the burger, which I had ordered with no onion and no mustard, came with ONLY those condiments on it, and nothing else! I took a bite or two but even after I had removed the onion, the taste remained, so I threw the entire order out! Would I give them another chance? Absolutely not! read more

haven't been to cookout in a very long time. while traveling we stopped here because it was on our side of the road, really its true. anyway the food was subpar, place wasn't very clean. But the people taking the orders were very pleasant and friendly. read more

Don't go to eat here when most people are traditionally eating. You'll be stuck in the drive thru or waiting until the cows come home. Ordered my food at 12:42, received sandwiches and cold fries at 1:10 and mill shakes at 1:19. Last time I attempted to come here I was stuck in the drive thru for 30 min and finally left without ordering. read more

There were one car ahead Usually busy . No straw no ketchup read more

As a newcomer to North Carolina, I have never been to a Cook Out. I found the experience to be very good. I was waited on by the manager Sydney who was very nice and took time to explain the menu to me. My food came our fast and fresh, and she even came to my table for a brief chat. She indicated that she had recently taken over the restaurant and in the process of improving moral and service. Great job Sydney, thanks again. read more

My roommate works 5 - 3 am . Idk why it takes from closing time till 4/5 am to clean the store... I have to be awake at whatever time he clocks off. He sure as heck ain't frozen but he isn't fresh at all.... LOL IDK what's wrong with drive thru. After screaming into the microphone bc she keeps saying I can't hear you. The car isn't on, nobody else in line and I'm repeating myself loudly.. how da f*** you can't hear?! Then I'm at the window to order. Smh ‍ Then it takes another 7 minutes to order from her. She standing there ignoring me. lil girl ?! Hello ? yes?! You. No one else is at drive thru.. why aren't you opening the window.... Oh okay, finally.. Telling her my order.. another 6 minutes for a cheese quesadilla and one drink lord help me!! I love that they are almost always open though. And why can't the employees have a bun with that free employees meal ??! A hamburger yes but no bun ? Y'all don't have many workers stay there.. huh?! read more

Third time here. Last time here. My 1/4 lb burger was tolerable. Husband's big burger was smaller than mine. I got slaw as a side--no fork or spoon for eating it with, however. Also not one napkin. Husband's fries were pitifully small. I shared mine with him. They were soft and not very hot!! Sorry, not returning!! read more

Worst Cookout I've been too yet. Order took longer to fulfill by four other orders that had higher numbers. Was correctly sent to the cooks, but it seems they couldn't get our order right two different times. Tables were dirty and not wiped down and took forever to get a manager to fix the order when it was handed to her. Especially the second time around. Definitely would not recommend. Plus one of our burgers smelled a bit funky. read more

Just went here for the first time, waiting abit to go from they just recently opened. I got a reg steak burger and lg fries and drink. I ordered my daughter a reg cheddar burger with lg fries and a Hershey milk shake. My burger had a lot of onions looked like a half of onion. The taste of this burger was terrible the fries i asked for the seasoning and didnt get, so fries were just ok. The drink a soda ok. My daughter burger was a whole onion on it meaning really way to much burger and she said the burger was just eh..., not nothing to write home about. Her fries no seasoning either. She got the milk shake and hate to say it but that was the best thing out of every thing we ordered that was great. My opinion I will not recommend the cook out for burgers, I still have a really bad taste in my mouth. And the price for this to be 18.00 and not satisfied at all. read more

This sucks. The service to me and my friends were awful. In the middle of ordering, I was interrupted by the cashier by them yelling at other coworkers. I waited for 25 minutes before realizing it had been ready for 20 minutes. Food is alright, which is the only reason this has 2 stars. read more

Always A+ food and service. Brand new location. Doing a great job, like all the other Cookouts read more

I was not happy with my food first of all I've been here multiple times and the past three times they have put Mayo on my Cajun style chicken sandwich when I said not too . Not only did they do that they put two onion rings in my box and only one hush puppy. Worst cook out ever I have also had friends that had happened to them. read more

Milkshakes to die for. I could leave it at that and sum my experience up perfectly but I wouldn't be doing you Yelp folks any service. Huge list of milkshake flavors or ask for own blend. Fresh fruits, candy, cookies, flavor syrups and peanut butter choices are plenty. My hands down favorite is peanut butter banana fudge. Chucks of fresh banana swirled in goodness. I almost couldn't use the straw. If your craving is for something hot the menu has choices for pretty much anyone. The fries are pretty tasty. Burgers, fries, hot dogs and more. Nothing special about the standard menu but should be noted that everything is very reasonably priced. I have not been inside this location but used the convenient dual drive thru instead. Service was fast and friendly even though I ordered for a car full of people. They are brand new in this location so it seems always busy but I have had no wait complaints either time I've gone. Now that this place is so near home I am undoubtedly going to need more stretchy waist pants. I don't think I'm the only one either, the entire community seems to be on the Cook-Out bandwagon. Worth the trip if you're going to be on this side of town. read more

Let's be honest. The food is above average. It's definitely not bad, but it's not the kind of meal that you're going to go out of your way for. But that's not why you're really going. What makes Cookout so special, that people will literally go out of their way for, is the shakes. No one makes them like they do, or has so many. They're so thick, I call them "straw breakers". They're that thick, cold, and flavorful. And with more than fifty to choose from, you can't go wrong. Just be sure to get a spoon. You're gonna need it. As it was previously noted, the food is above average. Everything from the burgers to the chicken pairs quite well with any shake. Just don't expect too much. In a drowning sea of McDonalds, Burger King, and other fast-food franchise chains, this regional/family-owned is a welcome option. Especially in the summer. read more

Sat in their second drive thru line for 10 min to be told to go to first drive thru for service. No cone or indication the second lane was closed. 10 cars in first drive thru, 6 cars behind me in the second one. 10 minutes have passed, y'all can fill in the blanks. read more

I humbly ordered a tray with 2 cheese quesadillas. When I bit into my quesadilla expecting a delicious, mouthwater experience that I typically receive I was met with utter disappointment and the bitter taste of TINFOIL. I was disgusted and speechless. This is not the only disheartening experience I had this night. I also desired a large Dr. Pepper and their soda machine was broken. This is not the first bad plate I have had at this specific cookout and advise others to NOT GO HERE!! read more

I don't know who was working at 1215 on December 27th but he needs to lose his little attitude. I'm writing this from the drive through. If you hate your job that much, you gotta realize you work with people all day long who don't deserve to be talked to like their idiots. You work in customer service. Not everyone is going to be nice. read more

Just went through the drive thru a few minutes ago. Ordered a cheddar style burger tray with fries & onion rings. My tray was missing the fries, there was almost no cheese on the burger & the burger was too pink & underdone. Tried calling their number to complain but the phone kept being answered by a fax machine. Would not recommend & will not be back. read more

They don't care! After a couple months hiatus from cookout, because of poor service, I came by tonight and got the same service I've gotten every time. It seems as if the whole joint has 12 year olds as employees. They aren't kind, they aren't courteous, they just don't care. They never get my order right. They always hand me shakes that are sticky and over running on the cup. They never give you a bag for your order! It's hard to have trays spilling out all over the car, just because they don't want to spend the time to put your order in a bag! Tonight I asked for a bag and the lady at the drive thru, without saying a word, stuck a bag out the window for me. Like geez thanks. Glad I had to ask for a bag for my 4 meals. And oh don't worry I'll just hold up the line by fumbling around in my dark car trying to get my order situated. Thanks! Smh ‍ read more

My daughter wanted to go try cookout on her birthday, well we went to the drive thru and no one greeted us, so we said hello, then they said go ahead with your order. After we placed out order it was all wrong when we recieved it. The only thing right was the 3pink lemonades. Then they acted like we did something wrong. Like they couldn't even get a hamburger wit just mustard ketchup and onion right, I'll never go there again. You can take your chances. Bad service!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more
