    Hot dog. Onions should be diced
    John M.

    I have been a longtime fan of Cookout, but had not been to one in awhile. I was in Jackson, Mississippi on business and grabbed a small chili cheeseburger and a hot dog with chili, coleslaw and onions and was disappointed with both. I don't know if it was this particular location or if the company is losing quality control as they grow. The small burger, which was about three dollars, was tiny. It was almost as if there was no burger in there at all. The hot dog should have finely chopped onions, but instead got thick slices. The young man at the takeout window was friendly enough and from the outside, the location looked inviting enough (I only drove through the takeout aisle, so I cannot judge the ambiance of the place). Overall, I was not satisfied with the quality of my food. I guess I will give it three stars (and that is being kind).

    Good, I was hungry so this was one of the only places open on New Year's Day. The girl at the counter was patient with us when ordering, she answered all of our questions. Good for a quick and affordable meal.

    Double burger, onion rings and cheese bites.

    Quick in and out meal options. Great menu with value prices. The service was great. The ambiance was quiet during our meal.

    The Big Double is a Big Let Down

    So I tried this place out and was looking forward to a grilled burger... which flavor wise it was good... but the patties were so small that technically two side by side were still small enough to cover the bun. This supposedly is their "Big Double" but I've just renamed it the Big Let Down. It's $2.99 so if the bun was smaller a the name was different, I'd say the price is right. I was so let down though it's 1 star.

    This was new to me as we did not grow up with this in Jackson. But it's nice that it's here now. I really appreciate the 2 sides that are included. I just wish there was a non fried side available like a salad m. But I always get full off the sides first and then eat the burger later & it's still good! I really like the cheese curds too! Definitely wish they had some sweet potato fries tho!

    Milkshakes!

    It's a cheap greasy burger and it's fabulous! Make sure to get a side of onion rings. And for heaven's sake, order a milkshake! They've clearly got your flavor! A fun, quick guilty pleasure while in Jackson.

    We came back through the drive thru for a forgotten item (they left out of the bag) and waited 20 mins. We left before getting it.

    Typical greasy food, worst service ever. We went through the drive-thru and ordered our food. Then, after picking it up from the window, we realized several of our items were missing. We went back through the drive-thru and they assured us it would be just a minute to come back through the drive-thru and receive our item. We waited behind another car for 20 minutes before getting our item. What we had was tasty however the service was so bad we will never be back.

    chicken strips n fries
    Amira J.

    huge fan of the hush puppies from here. i came on a lunch break to get a quick meal. the cashier ladies were sweet & patient with me as i tried to maneuver through the menu. it can be a bit hard to follow what to get but i eventually figured it out. i ordered the 3 chicken strips with fries. nothing special but did my stomach some justice! i will keep this place in mind when i am in need of a quick fix. i only spent $5!

    All this for 6 bucks and change.

    I am from California. I was in Jackson Mississippi on work. Let me say this, this city closes up on Sunday. I couldn't find a restaurant on a Sunday to Save my life. Every restaurant we went to was closed. What is the deal Jackson? My co-worker said the heck with it, let's Eat fast food since that was the only spots open. As we were driving to a different burger joint. We Passed by cook out. We decided to try it. I ordered a burger made the way I want, onion rings, fries and a soda for 6 bucks And change. That is super cheap. Why can't we have a place like this in California? The food came out fast. I was really impressed with my food. Very good burger. The fries and onion rings were Also great. I totally recommend this place. One issue I did see though, it was a bit dirty. A lot of the tables were not cleaned. Other than that, a great experience.

    Clean restaurant with AWESOME service!!!

    What did Trevor not understand when I ordered "NO ONION "? Why can't this place get a single order correct?

We came at the start of lunch hour, and there was a long wait (due to regulars being smarter than us and ordering ahead). The wait was worth it. 11 ounces of beef in a single burger???? Yep. And the seasonings were perfect. Husband and I went bunless, which was a smart choice because it was so filling and we definitely needed room for the fries! Our 12 year old is a self-proclaimed burger connoisseur and he said it was a perfect blend of quality and quantity. He ate all but four bites. (Took the pic on the road so it's a bit blurry.) Our 9 year old didn't order there because he's not a burger guy, but he really loved the friendliness of the staff and the other patrons. The vibe was welcoming and cozy, even for a group of four Texan outsiders.

You can definitely feel the history and neighborhood beacon that this joint is! I've had multiple people from the Jackson area recommend and it did not disappoint.

The vibe is incredible, very laid back, everyone is welcome kind of place. Will visit again, worth the drive and the wait!

    While traveling from NC to TX, we drove through Jackson, MS, looking for lunch. We checked out Yelp…read moreand headed for Rooster's at 2906 N State St. We ordered country fried steak with coleslaw and green beans, and a bacon cheeseburger with onion rings. We also got an unsweetened tea, Diet Coke and homemade banana pudding. Everything was absolutely delicious. The country fried steak was crispy on the outside and hot on the inside and had plenty of gravy on top. Also, the gravy was exactly the right consistency. The coleslaw was excellent and the green beans were hot as well, and both were seasoned well. The unsweetened tea was very tasty and fresh. The burger was cooked to medium as requested. The bacon and cheese were great toppings as was the crisp lettuce and what tasted like local tomatoes. One of the best things about the burger was the homemade white bun--(also served with the country steak). It tasted like buns my mom used to make. The onion rings were hot and crispy, with a wonderful crunchy fried batter. Delicious! We haven't tried the pudding yet, but we'll update our review tonight when we try it out! Thank you to the hardworking and friendly service staff, cooks and owner. We will definitely be back in the future!

    My go-to in Fondren is always Pig & Pint. That's where we were headed on the way to Oxford, but…read morethey didn't have any water that day, so we ended up going up the road to Rooster's instead. What a great accidental find. Rooster's is absolutely awesome. I had the burger and onion rings and both were damn good. The burger was simple, cooked right, and exactly what a burger should be. The onion rings were thin, crispy, and really good. My daughter got the chicken tenders and they were massive. I mean actually massive. More importantly, they were delicious. The fries were hand cut and just as good. Service was friendly, the place had a cool neighborhood feel, and it filled up fast. Parking is definitely at a premium, so get there early if you can or be prepared to wait a little. This is one of those places we probably would not have found if everything had gone according to plan, and now I'm really glad it didn't. So thank you to whoever forgot to pay the water bill at Pig & Pint. Just kidding. Thank you to whatever public works person accidentally broke the main water supply and sent us down the road. Because Rooster's is legit, and we'll absolutely be back.
