Always a delicious choice! My favorite is the barbecue sandwich tray. This is definitely an underrated option here, but you should try it out! Looking forward to the holiday milkshakes coming out!

This was the milkshake when I received it, not full and covered in syrup on top instead of a blended shake.

The only reason I am leaving this review is because this food being incorrect almost made me very sick. I have come here since I was a kid, and have not had this experience in over a decade of orders. I ordered two double chocolate shakes, one for me and one for my wife. When we received them, we had to mix them because they had been made poorly and so we took the lids off. That alone would not have led me to leave a review. My wife's was fine, but my milkshake had small chunks of banana in it. It smelled strongly, but I hadn't been sure. I stopped eating immediately, as I am extremely intolerant to bananas and they make me violently ill. I asked my wife her opinion, and she said it smelled like banana so I should not eat any more. They, of course, had no way of knowing about my allergy, as it is only a problem if ingested, so I just don't order items with banana in them. Some cross contamination is expected, but there should not be whole chunks of extra ingredients added.

I got a cookout tray from here and I ordered a big double tray with a cheeseburger quesadilla and a Cajun wrap. The wrap was the only thing good smh. My quesadilla was a cheese quesadilla and my burger had one full patty and the other one was like cut in half. I do not recommended going here!!!!!!

Footlong hot dog, Cook-Out style (homemade chili and slaw, mustard, and onions).
Daniel B.

Cook-Out is a North Carolina tradition. I went a countless number of times with my friends during high school, whether it was after a Central football game at Simeon Stadium in High Point or after a Wake basketball game at Joel Coliseum in Winston. Cook-Out is everywhere in North Carolina. It's great for hot dogs, hamburgers, milkshakes, and more. When I return to North Carolina during the holidays each year to visit family and friends, I almost always try to make a visit to Cook-Out. Cook-Out hamburgers and hot dogs are char-grilled fresh. The meat is higher quality and many of the ingredients and toppings, such as their chili and cole slaw, are homemade. This is why Cook-Out tastes better than big fast food chains. My personal favorite item to order at Cook-Out is the footlong hot dog ($1.99). I order it "Cook-Out Style" with mustard, onion, chili, and slaw. While the frank isn't very plump, the meat is hearty and smoky. The onion and slaw are finely chopped and the slaw is slightly sweet. The bun is soft and can get a little soggy with all the toppings, but it still tastes delicious. I love it. My second favorite item to order is one of the burgers. You can order burgers in four sizes at Cook-Out, from 1/8 lb. to 1/3 lb. I usually get the regular size (1/4 lb.) for $2.49 and, like the hot dog, make it "Cook-Out Style" with mustard, onion, chili, and slaw for 75 cents extra. The burger is served wrapped in foil. It isn't terribly big and the bun sometimes gets squashed, but it's still packed with flavor and very tasty. Finally, many people are fans of Cook-Out for the "fancy" milkshakes ($2.49). There are over 40 different varieties (!) including cappuccino, peach cobbler, Hi-C punch, and strawberry cheesecake. My favorite is the Oreo. The shakes are rich, thick, and creamy. They are served in Cook-Out-branded Styrofoam cups with bible verses on the outside (Cook-Out is a Christian-based company). If you've never had a Cook-Out shake before, you must try one. Also good here are the fries, onion rings, Coke floats (Coke + ice cream), and sweet tea. I think every Cook-Out has a double drive-thru to speed up ordering. This Cook-Out location on North Main also has several booths for indoor seating. Orders are processed fast and efficiently.

Banana fudge shake; heavenly!
Amy U.

We had a fabulous late lunch experience this afternoon at this particular Cookout restaurant located on N Main in High Point. They offer drive thru service as well as sit down dining. Even though it was 2pm precisely, we were lucky enough to see a table open for us as the restaurant was pretty darn crowded. Service was efficient, polite, helpful and super friendly. I've only had their chocolate shake (last week) so this was my as well as my family's first time experiencing their food menu. It smells so good in here! Both of my kids enjoyed small cheeseburgers, fries and split a chocolate shake; the employee who rung us up happily gave out an extra cup so my kids could share the shake easily. Very much appreciated! My husband enjoyed a double cheeseburger with fries, a chicken quesadilla and a big icy cold Cheerwine. He loved everything! I very much enjoyed my Out West Style bacon cheeseburger with cheese fries, slaw and a banana fudge shake. Burgers were all cooked nicely, french fries were delicious, cooked well and had a great flavor. That banana fudge shake...holy friggen amazeballs! So thick, delicious and I really enjoyed the cold pieces of fresh banana throughout the shake. Yum yum! Definitely getting that again. $21 bucks total; you can't go wrong! We really enjoyed our experience here and will most definitely be back with the kids sometime soon when we feel like stuffing our faces until we're on the verge of sickness. Cookout rocks!

Me asking for my change & was told they ran out of change

I am a devoted Cook Out customer who travels From Hawaii to eat your Burgers & drink your Awesome milkshakes. I'm very disappointed by the service, food & the way I was spoken to during my order. The Cashier Joseph was very condescending and I was told they was out of change to give back. This location need some serious training. On top of that, my order was incorrect. Never again North Main Cookout High Point. I will travel to Thomasville NC from now on

Spicy chicken sandwich, not done!

Cook Out Spicy chicken sandwich was undercooked. Tried to report, they never answer.

I'm so happy that this Cook Out still exists! I've been eating here for a few decades. My go-to order includes 'cook-out style' hot dogs, hush puppies, and a milkshake! My favorite milkshake flavor include Oreo, mint chocolate chip, and Oreo mint. The prices are so reasonable and the service is quick! Cook Out is a wonderful staple in the south!

Damn Good Dogs

(40 reviews)

This was my first trip to Damn Good Burgers and Dogs though I've been following them on Instagram…read morefor a while. They've got a great spot in the Stock + Grain food hall at the Rocker's Stadium. Plenty of seating, easy parking; definitely a great way to transition from food truck to brick and mortar. Some of the other stalls were appealing, but we were there for hot dogs. My buddy and I each ordered a Carolina Dog (mine with no onions). He got their Damn Good Fries and I got regular fries and we each got canned sodas. Our total was $27.24 with tip. It was late afternoon so I could tell our food was being made fresh which is always a plus. Everything came out hot (though I did have to remind them about the regular fry which was delivered promptly). The hot dogs had a great toasted bun and the chili or the slaw (or both) had a subtle sweetness to it. With that sweetness, I could have used a little more mustard, but that's a little critique. The regular fries were good: crispy and well-seasoned with salt and pepper. The Damn Good Fries were loaded and, as my friend said, "had a lot going on." They are loaded with warm cheese sauce, sweet onion sauce, ketchup, and their damn good sauce. When I tasted them it was hard to tell everything apart but it was still a tasty bite. Service was ok. I wouldn't wave about it but they got the job done. I'd definitely return to Damn Good Burgers and Dogs to try more of their food, especially those burgers.

That is awesome because you can sit out of the restaurants sight, but you will be aware when your order is ready. I ordered the Carolina hotdog with fries combo. Drinks are sold separately. The hotdog had great flavor. It wasn't messy and I actually liked that. The bun was very soft. It almost melts in your mouth. It also had a very tasty flavor. They made a great choice! The fries were not hot. Not sure why. They were in pieces...like the bottom of a bag. I wish they were longer to dip in the sauce. They had a good flavor, but I think with a little tweaking they could be excellent. Maybe I got a bad batch? Not sure, but it won't deter me from trying them again. I snuck a taste of their special sauce from my friend's meal. It was good! I would like to try it on one of their vegan burgers. This is located in Stock and Grain so there is plenty of indoor and outside seating. You also have the option to get it to go. Can't wait to try this again!

Their health rating 99.7. Order at counter and also take pick up orders. Of course chose the footlong hotdog combo. It comes with a choice of French fries or onion rings along with a 32 oz drink. You can add condiments which mine were mustard,mayo,onions,chili and slaw. Short wait to get your order. IMO dog is fantastic. Also has ice cream section where I ordered Chocolate fudge cup. To sum it up is now my favorite dog place! Very impressed.

Walked in & shifted gears from ice-cream to food first. Hotdogs & Burgers came Priority, we ordered a little of everything. Everyone loved what they got from tater tots to french fries. It is a grill/ice-cream diner and the food is good and reasonably priced. They have Specials, so check out info at Counter before ordering. (I missed out on the foot-long combo). Ice-Cream portion of evening next, so many flavors, most difficult part of the experience. You can ask for a sample or two. Ice-Cream was delicious. Old-Fashioned Peach was my selection, loved it. The Staff were all young people, and super friendly and patient as I took a minute to pick my ice-cream. For what it is suppose to be, it exceeded expectations. Will visit again, and (again) - they do have 32 flavors They do have interesting decor so if clowns bother u, beware.

I recently started seeing a lot adds on social media for their new smash burger tacos, so one weekend I was feeling lazy and needing some lunch I decided to go give it a try. There was a bit of line when we arrived, but the cashier kept the line moving quickly. I ordered (2) of the tacos, and some fries to go. Apparently, they had a promo going that weekend with their app, that you'd also get ANY size, free custard made to your liking. The order came out pretty quickly, didn't have to wait long at all. Got home, unpacked everything on a plate, and enjoyed my tasty lunch. The tacos were great, basically just a soft shell taco with a single smash burger in each, cheese, a little lettuce and fry sauce. Probably could add some other toppings, like tomatoes, but overall they were really good. Their fries are also great, but very thin, so you kind of need to grab a few at a time. There fry sauce those is what makes the fries even better. Must try! The custard was also great, i got one mixed with oreo, one of my favorites! The restaurant itself isn't too large, but decently clean. The interior is one large open space with a lot of hard surfaces though, so it can get noisy in there as it fills up. Overall, a tasty option from time to time. Would recommend if you like smash burgers though they do also have hot dogs, and the custard is delicious. Go check them out if you haven't already

I was being indecisive and hubby decided on Freddy's for dinner. Our order consisted of 2 smash…read moreburger tacos (a la carte), a spicy chicken sandwich meal, a double steakburger meal, and a kids chicken tender meal. After seeing the smashburger tacos, my husband regretted his order. It was love at first bite--juicy steakburger with gooey American cheese, lettuce and jalapeño fry sauce on a tortilla. Definitely a must-try (can purchase a la carte & add to existing order). Husband's chicken sandwich had a weird texture (we were joking it was fish)--but chicken tenders seemed fine. Daughter devoured her dbl steakburger. Love the thin, crispy fries and crispy tot sides. Have the option for ketchup or choice of 3 flavors of fry sauce. Friendly staff, prompt service, hot food. Dining room was clean and rather quiet for dinnertime. A great and tasty fast food alternative to the usual suspects.

Smart move on their part by sending the most adorable teenage boy with perfect puppy dog eyes to humbly hand us our bag as he kept saying how sorry he was. Who could be mad at him? Not me. We had ordered on their app as we were passing through the area and they were very busy so I get how a mix up could occur. The 5 stars happened because even though we sat for 20 minutes, our food did not. It was hot and it was fresh. Other places could take note of this and maybe step up their game a bit or A LOT.... I'm not saying any names but their initials being with Whataburger... Anyway, I digress. We both got the same thing. The double burger with chili, slaw, mustard, onions, and pickles. While not necessarily the best choice for a road trip lunch driving down the interstate, it's hard to be salty about something so delicious. Messy? Yes. But it was a glorious mess!! You gotta love a place that not only allows you to completely customize your food, but allows it for relatively no extra charge except on the big ticket items like bacon or extra cheese. And they don't skimp either... which again made for a messy drive but well worth the laundry I had to do as soon as our 7 hour drive was over. The two patties were perfectly done, the buns were fresh and they were very, very liberal with the included toppings. This thing was stacked with a wonderful, meaty chili, cool, crisp slaw, crunchy pickles, and rounded out with fresh onions that added a terrific contrast to the chili and slaw. And the toppings were spread through out the sandwich so that every bite delivered on flavor. They were also generous with the napkins, which is rare these days and very, very much appreciated. The fries were good although I'm not a big fan of the crinkle variety... that said, I do appreciate that you have the option in the app to get them extra crispy. That made for a much better experience. Though they're not my favorite type of fries, these were well cooked, soft on the inside without being mealy like most crinkles are; while having a nice crispy exterior. If I have to have crinkle cut fries, I'd prefer Dairi-O's. I also tried their tzatziki sauce because I love that as a dipping sauce for fries and it was pretty spot on. At first, when I saw it on the menu, my thought was, "what does a burger joint really know about tzatziki sauce?" Turns out, a lot. It was creamy, tangy, with just the right amount of fresh cucumber and dill. Over all, as far as I'm concerned, it's a solid fast food choice that feels less like fast food and more like eating a perfect burger from your backyard grill. We both enjoyed it very much and will be back.

Stopped by Dairi-O in Archdale after disc golfing at Creekside Park and it definitely hit the spot…read more I ordered the double burger and, as someone who always asks for extra pickles, I have to give them credit -- they actually delivered. So many places throw on one or two extra and call it a day, but this was a legit pickle situation. The crinkle-cut fries were seasoned and really good, the milkshake was decent, and the burger was solid overall. Nothing fancy, just classic fast-food comfort done well. For two double combos and a chocolate shake, it was $29 and some change, which felt pretty reasonable. I'd definitely grab it again if I'm in that area. Perfect post-disc golf fuel.
