I finally tried Cook Out yesterday with my son. As soon as you walk in, the digital menu is very visible above the register. That was nice. The seating is sufficient I believe. There was a steady flow of customers throughout our dining experience. The service was pretty good. The young lady taking our order was very nice. We had a short wait for our food. We both ordered a tray. I had the double burger tray with chicken nuggets, fries and tea. The burger was pretty good. The fries were good. I'm not sure how good the nuggets were because I received only three of them. I thought that was a stingy portion. The sweet tea was way too sweet. I did not expect brown sugar water. Crazy sweet. I asked for a cup of water so I could dilute it. My son had the burger tray with a walking taco and quesadilla. He enjoyed all of his. He eats Cook Out at college, so he knew what he liked. Overall I did enjoy my meal. The burger, service and ambiance overshadowed the nuggets and tea. I would probably eat at Cook Out again. read more

First time trying cook out did not disappoint! I've heard positive things about this establishment but had no idea it was so affordable. Ordering to go was super fast and efficient, it didn't take long at all to get our food. Great portion for the price, espeically the icecream/milkshake! 1 cup lasted me 3 servings. Food was fresh and the corn dog is crispy, great first experience. read more

Food was good but fire alarm kept going off and staying on, happened 5 times while we were eating inside and it's a heat advisory so can't eat outside. They didn't even apologize for the noise. read more

I am a faithful dedicated customer who loved her peanut butter, chocolate milk shake. I must say Mi Mi (Western Blvd, Jacksonville, NC) consistently makes the best milkshakes and delivers outstanding customer service. She goes above and beyond for every guest, and her positive attitude makes a real difference. Mi Mi is truly a great asset to the Cook Out team, and her hard work reflects the high standards of the company. Keep smiling and thank you for caring. read more

Noble effort but it just tastes like cafeteria food to me. The service was ok and I really don't hold it over them because the place does get kinda busy. Probably won't eat from here again but thank you for the meal. read more

Tasty food and great selection! The service was caring and friendly. Everything I asked about was answered. You can mix and match if you order a plate! The atmosphere is casual, clean, and bathrooms are clean, too. I could eat there several times a week, especially that it's affordable! Even open on Christmas Day! read more

Great customer service!! Went in. The drive-through was greeted right away. Placed order for two chili dogs with onions and cheese and a regular fries. Nine dollars for all!!! that's such a great deal my experience was with MICAH at the window he was awesome. very personable. Struck up a conversation with me,very polite well mannered, beautiful smile, we need more people like him in Customer Service . He made my experience that much more better. Food was absolutely delicious. I love the chili dogs, had the perfect amount of chili and they're not messy, I keep coming back because people like MICAH keep me coming back and then the food as well. read more

Grabbed a chili dog and asked for relish and mustard along with the normal toppings of chili, coleslaw, and onion. Young man was polite but the speaker made it a little hard to hear and understand him. Drive up was busy. Thank you for giving me plenty of napkins because I pulled over to eat this monster. Sad thing was that the bun was soaked in liquid. I just tore it in half and tore off the bottom. It was a mess but still a good hot-dog! Had to open the door and use my water bottle to wash my hands. So, the reason for the four star instead of five is because the bun was WET and soggy (probably from the coleslaw). Price was good for the size of the hot-dog, $2.88.

This place is so good! Our cashier, Corina was very friendly and welcoming! My double-cheeseburger was cooked perfectly and delicious. I recommend getting the Cajun Fries, they're so good! 100% recommend this restaurant for a cheap, quick and delicious meal that's far better than normal fast food! read more

I've been to this location 25+ times and I guess it's my fault that I expect my food to be right. It's always messed up they try to rush the order instead of just making it right the first time. And when I ask for the entire order to be remade I get eye-rolls and excuses. Also, they always ask for the food back and double check and make sure that I didn't drive all the way back up there and waste my time just to tell them that their food is wrong. Do better. read more

I have never tasted delicious chicken tenders and crunchy and oh my God juicy in the middle and the best hamburger I've ever tasted in my life it is seriously a very good place to get your just a little meal even if you just want a little milk frappe or something ice cream the food is the most delicious smelling and delicious tasting food. I had really seriously ever eaten and I haven't had a hamburger in probably a year but they added sautéed onions and oh my God it was so juicy delicious and I wanted to leave a review. Because I think they're worth every penny that you spend and they're not that costly. read more

Cheap fast good food, can't beat that :) I don't have anything else to say whys there even a character count lmao read more

I've only been here twice and both times it's been drive-thru so my review will be based on that. The menu can be confusing as there are multiple choices and options but that is part of its charm. It will take me a few more visits to really know the menu, but if you don't see what you want I always ask for it anyway. Both times I have been pleased with the burgers, fries, onion rings, shakes, and Cheerwine floats. Cookout has the freshest ingredients for fast food anywhere and definitely worth the wait. read more

Inflation my ass! The quality of this establishment is getting grimey! Why are my patties half the size on a big double burger! Boycott, but we know that's not going to happen in Jacksonville! Not only here but all over NC they raised the prices and now give you less food! read more

Let me start off by saying i work in fast food service and, i understand where i was in the wrong and why the employees were frustrated. i pulled up assuming my car would fit i in fact DID READ THE SIGN. i just assumed my smaller car would still fit considering it was a smaller car in front of me. i was wrong and quite literally was going to back up. Before i got the chance i had two employees being very rude telling me to back up. it's not what they said it's how they said it. me getting off my shift and also being pregnant i get defensive and very upset so i copped an attitude back. then as i am waiting they were actively cussing and talking shit about how i didnt read the sign. as a manager in fast food service that's VERY unprofessional and i'd fire an employee over that. i understand we get frustrated but go talk ur shit out of customer ear at the end of the day the customers pay ur bills so we treat them with respect. read more

A NC staple! I remember when I first tried Cookout over 20 years ago and was blown away at the deliciousness of their food. Nothing fancy and it's usually greasy and messy, but it's always good :). You can't beat their trays with your choice of a main item (burger, bbq, chicken sandwich), two sides and a drink. Get the cheerwine! It's the perfect balance to all the salty deliciousness ;). If you're really hungry, get a shake! They have 40 flavors and they are really yummy. Banana pudding has always been a fave! My go to orders are a cookout style burger tray with fries and/or onion rings, cheese curds/white cheddar bites, hushpuppies OR a cheddar style tray OR a BBQ sandwich tray. I love to add a bag of hushpuppies to my order... they are so dang good! Don't forget extra napkins because you're gonna need them ;) read more

I'm not going to say I'm a regular but I go quite often. 99% of the time my chicken quesadillas don't have any chicken UNLESS if I ask for extra My cajun fries that I ordered came without the Cajun. It's happened multiple times. Not very happy I'm spending money for food that isn't as advertised Service is good tho! read more

Without a doubt the WORST HAMBURGER THAT I HAVE ATE IN MY 71 Years on this earth!! The French fry's tasted like they were cooked in MOTOR OIL! The so called hamburgers were HORRENDOUS! The meat was DRY & tasted like SAWDUST! wow, and Cookout used to be a great place to eat! Now? I wouldn't feed their food to my DOG! read more

They kept putting onions and mayo on my regular burger when all I want is cheese and bbq sauce read more

Cook Out - a man looking out of a window - Burgers Near Me - Jacksonville, North Carolina

The food here is disgusting, fries are over seasoned and very salty. Anything off that grill is overwhelmed with mesquite or burned!

I've been to a few cook outs throughout NC and have never been disappointed. The fast food joint sells your basic burgers, chickens and hot dogs with all the typical unhealthy sides that I enjoy. LOL You have a huge selection of milk shakes to add to your heavy meal. Might as well go for one of those yummy creation shakes to wash down that meal. We generally order drive through so I cant comment on the inside. The food is soooo cheap, omg you can feast with a big meal for under $10. Definitely a chain to check out when you're in NC. read more

Holy crap. They actually got the order correct this time. Today, they were actually attentive and quick, which was nice. I do understand that restaurants have bad days. But they were good today. read more

Why do I love cookout? Well, just how much time do you have? Only kidding. The service here is fast and friendly. They offer a great deal: For about 5 bucks you can get a burger, quesadilla, and Fries. That is my favorite combo! I add the Cajun seasoning to the fries. Did I mention that it also comes with a drink? I ordered a Cheerwine float. It was amazing! Note that there are several combinations in what you can order! Next time you are hungry, stop in! read more

Customer service is always on point. I received a complimentary piece of plastic with my fries. I didn't finish the fries of course but the sand was good. If I weren't pregnant and already back at work I would have asked for new fries. read more

Came out here Christmas Eve night. Everything was hot af & fresh. Appreciate you guys working hard, it was damn sure busy as hell. Thank you again. read more

worst cookout. the entire staff is rude and inconsiderate of others. if you dont wanna be there quit. my order was wrong. and i was told i didnt order frys with the jr two trays i ordered for my kids. i got two trys of burnt nuggets . 2 milkshakes that was not mixed. not one person tried to help fix my order so i went back in the drive thru. middle finger to everyone that was there this day. dont go here. i wish i could give 0 stars cuz they give 0 f***s. read more

The service is ok. I like to stop once a week and get one kind of shake. But out of about 10 shakes 2 have been right. Ask for a mint shake and 80% of time all i taste is vanilla ice cream and it's white. to bad the don't have as much enthusiasm to get it out the door as they do to get it, right. read more

The good, bad, and ugly. This place serves extremely fresh custom itemized grilled burgers in an exceptionally quick efficient manner. The burgers are always perfectly cooked and the orders are always right. The small downside is if your not a regular and aren't familiar with the menu....it wil catch you off guard as there is only one that can be viewed at its right at the window. So you have to make quick choices from a large number of selections which can be frustrating. I'd recommend snapping a picture if the menu do you don't feel rushed the next time you come. Because the food is definitely worth coming back for. read more

Don't get me wrong the food is good but the customer service is not. I came in through the drive-through and they do not know how to communicate I come up to the window. I asked for a sauce I overhear one of the girls in the back say, I literally asked them if they wanted sauce do better cook out read more

First time trying Cookout, pleasantly surprised. Easy drive-through, got burgers, blt, onion rings & white cheddar cheese curds. BLT was on a hamburger bun, the onion rings & curds were perfection, just the right amount of crunch (breading). Cannot get anything better for the price! The burgers might be small but the price is right and they are delicious, bacon slightly undercooked, grilled onions add just the right touch, but just cannot taste the cheese. read more

Came here twice during my weeklong trip. The first time was late night and I had a chili burger and small chili fries. I went through the drive through and was impressed with how fast it was. Yes there are 2 windows, but that usually doesn't mean there still isn't a wait. The fries were so good that I returned for the larger size the next time a couple days later. I had the cook out dog(coleslaw, chili, and more) and large chili fries the second time. The food was really good both times, and the people and service were great as well. Very polite and friendly folks! They offer a variety of items and have several combo/package deals. If I lived here I'd definitely be a regular. read more

Wearing masks at your chin isn't exactly the same as wearing masks. I was disappointed to see this the last time I drove through for a milkshake. Unfortunately, that kills it for me. I think it's just helpful to know that no one here is taking any safety precautions as far as the pandemic goes. Their milkshakes are delish, but I'll be skipping them now. read more

Cheap cheap cheap! Great friendly service. We paid 11 bucks for a Mexican hot dog, 2 hush puppies, bacon wrap, chicken sandwich, cheerwine float AND peanut butter shake. They have the most amazing shakes!!! Also I like that they have 2 drive-thrus...it makes service even faster. You have to check this place out! read more

Sun-Thurs 10:30am-3:30am Thur, Fri, Sat 10:30am-4:30am OH MY GOODNESS. this is the best fast food place - EVER. so cheap & SOOOOO good. the shakes (there are like 40 flavors) are amazing & thick. the hushpuppies are so good, as was the BLT, chicken quesadilla, hotdog & corndog... I didn't try a burger, but no fear: I will be going again & again & again... read more

Excellent food. Everything is really good. Food, Price, Expediency, Customer Service. I highly recommend the cookout. read more

So so so so soooooo good. It was great. I love cook out. Makes my taste buds taste good for on my tongue. Get the tray. It's best deal on Jacoffsvile! My food went right into my throat for the money that I paid. It's sustenance was vital to the survival of me. My wife had some of the cook out too. She married me. When I go back to cookout I will definitely get cook out there again! Yippeeee! read more

I'm done trying with this place. I asked my husband to pick up dinner on the way home. My chicken sandwich is tough, and looks like it was pulled out of the garbage. Lettuce disgustingly wilted, soggy bun, burnt onions, and a little smidgen of mayo to cover up the burnt flavor. The only thing worthy here is the shakes. I imagine those will go downhill eventually too, right? read more

The food was amazing, definitely the best burgers in all of the chain restaurants. You get a lot of food for the price of a tray. Their sweet tea was great, and I absolutely loved all of the food. The only reason they didn't get a five star is because the speakers on their drive thru are terrible as I could barely understand the lady taking my order, and vice versa. But it was overall an amazing experience. read more

You know what are you getting here. It's consistent and great fast food. The 5 dollar tray is what everyone gets. For 5 bucks you can get a burger, chicken wrap and a quesadilla and a drink. If you want a Milk Shake it's only a dollar more. I'm still not sure how they are making money but hey why change a good thing. There is nothing special in the inside, think more mom and pop place. Still hard to go wrong with a cook out tray. read more

From the frozen thick milkshakes, to the variety in the food menu. Your cravings will always meet the perfect match. Other than not really having a salad option, you can find something to apes your hunger needs! I usually go for the cheddar style burger! If you enjoy the beef n cheddar from Arby's? You will enjoy the cheddar cheese with grilled onions and added bacon! Hush puppies are also a must. Better than Smithfield's too! If you like milkshakes this can be your new favorite spot Other than being really busy, it's worth a drop by! read more
