Cook out style burger
Is S.

My wife is busy tearing someone a new one. Will see what happens to this review once it's all said and done! The drive-through is quick, I'll give them that. But they are making time at the expense of being organized. What a mess --Update: adding a star. As I was sitting in line I was looking at the previous reviews and wondered if the same kinds of things would happen to us. It turns out it did and so I made sure to check our order. We got the order from the car in front of us and they got ours, but the drinks were right. I went back up to the drive-through and they had no clue what happened, what I had, etc. Fortunately the lady in the other car walked up at the same time and we exchanged the food. When I got back to the car I checked again and saw that our "double" onion rings equates to 3. I get double onion rings every time I go to cook out and the amount is usually 7-10. So my wife went back up to the drive-through and spoke to the manager and he made it right. In the end the food was good Cook Out quality. Their tenders and burgers are pretty consistently great as are the fries and onion rings. I know that businesses would probably prefer to resolve the issues that come up instead of receiving a negative review, but it makes it difficult to do when there is a drive-through only situation. I have been to many different cook outs and I've never had this kind of issue. In my mind the solution is for the store management to figure out how to organize their system better and provide training with emphasis on accuracy over speed. In the end would I go to the store again? I sure would, but I would definitely be checking my order before I left.

Burger that was supposed to have cheese, onion rings, and the smallest amount of cheese bites humanly possible.

Paid money for this crap. Order wrong. Food is absolutely atrocious in size and temp.

Tender in a chicken sandwich?   What a disgrace!!  You obviously don't care about your customers.
Layla P.

Disappointed and obviously they don't care about customers. Order two Cajun chicken sandwiches and ended up with two small piece of tender. What a damn joke.

Gave me half a burger...

I know it's cookout but this is just disrespectful. I wouldn't even care but this is like the 3rd time they've messed it up

Hair in my fries.
Cheyenne W.

I tried giving cookout another chance and once again , our orders were wrong , not to mention we got cheese fries and this is the amount of cheese you charge me extra for ? This is just a waste of money

Chicken quesadilla that doesn't even have melted cheese. It was still cold....
Rachel P.

Got through the line just to have a cold quesadilla that didn't even have melted cheese

The Cookout burger, lettuce tomato onion and extra mayo the flavor set them apart from the pack of quantity over quality burger joints its close to homemade smoky juicy and i loved every bite quite often. Haven't ate at this location in a while but due to winter weather grabbed a double burger and was very disappointed it was a dry bitter small patties on a stale tasting bun nightmare. What happened to the juicy backyard flavor? All the fond memories faded like the flavorless pucks of (meat?)that was on this bun. Save your tastebuds the shock eat somewhere else.

Omgoodness! My daughter recommended we stop here and get a bite to eat and boy was here…read morerecommendation spot on! Located in a strip mall and tucked in behind another restaurant it can be easily overlooked. Small restaurant offering big flavors at a great price. Enter the restaurant, head to the counter and was greeted immediately. The young lady took our order offered suggestions as well as patience while we ordered. Our food was served within 10 minutes after we ordered. I ordered 2 sliders, 2 tenders, sweet potato fries, and a drink for $15. Now here's the best part, it is GOOD! Everything was served hot. The fries and tenders were crispy! The sliders were the size of a small burger from any fast food chains. Now here's the kicker for all my ice munching lovers, they have that good ice! Definitely recommend and will return!

Unfortunately, we simply did not have a good experience here, and given the price would have…read moreexpected much better. We were in the mood for some "fancy" burgers, and given what they do here at Sammy's (and that we had never been) decided to go for it. We both left wishing we had gone to one of several other known quantities in the area that also have some creative burgers. We both ordered the 2 slider combo, one of us went with two burger sliders, the other did a burger and chicken tender slider. One of us got fries, the other upgraded to onion rings. We also added on an all the way hot dog, because I can't help myself but try them wherever I go. Service at the counter was helpful, and the restaurant pretty clean. Drinks are self-serve in somewhat of a tight area for people moving through. They give you a number and bring the food to your table when ready. When the meal arrived, just visually, we were not excited by anything... except the hot dog. We'll start there, the brightest spot of the meal. The bun was clearly buttered and griddled, and biting in, you get a tasty frank, balanced chili and slaw, just enough onions and mustard. If I were to return, it would probably be for hot dogs. All three slider burgers were dry as a bone. They did not at all give the appearance of a burger that was griddled to order. The bacon cheeseburger did not come with any kind of sauce, to make that edible, we added some ranch that came with the onion rings. The buffalo chicken tender slider was quite bland for buffalo style, and soggy. The fries were good, but the onion rings were not. I don't think the oil was hot enough, so not only were they mealy and not crispy, they were just so oily that it made them unappealing. Given what we paid, and compared to other burgers in the area, I don't see us coming back.

This is just me but the type of food it is feels more like a place you would walk up to the counter and order and have it brought to you versus a sit down service. However, with the added alcoholic beverages, I guess it kind of makes sense. The feel of it just felt very mixed. It was sit down with service but also felt very sports bar/fast casual. I personally would have been fine with a walk up counter where I could order drinks and food and then pick my spot to sit down. We started with some drinks. I got a blueberry mojito and my husband got an old fashioned. We had very different experiences. My blueberry mojito I questioned whether there was any alcohol in it and it tasted just okay. I would not order again. My husband however said his old fashioned was one of the best he has had in the triad. He said it was very spirit forward and they didn't try to water it down with adding unnecessary extras. He would definitely get his again. From the burger standpoint, we both got the Joey's classic. I got it with one patty and he got it with double patties. I thought it tasted good but nothing that made me say wow. I also got the Mac n cheese side that also was just okay; felt very commercial Mac n cheese versus a unique one done by a restaurant; almost like a fast food Mac n Cheese if that makes sense. Husband liked his burger and said he would get it again and also liked his side of fries. If it had just been me that went, I would have rated it likely a 3 but given that my husband had a good experience, I am rating it higher.

I don't think I'll ever spend a day in Winston again without stopping by Heff's for lunch…read more The menu is small and focused, because they have perfected what they do. Burgers are large, greasy, and crispy, with a good amount of surface area having made grill contact. A true smash burger. Every burger I've tried is well crafted, each have some kind of acid or heat to cut the cheese and beef fattiness. Potato buns are soft but hold up well. I had the Wicked Piggy this time, which brings a nice crunch from the bacon and a light pop of acid/heat from pickled jalapeños. We've tried a couple of the fry options, and while the Chili Nelson fries are good, the Ram Ranch are my favorite. Both are generously loaded, so each and every bite comes with adequate toppings. No rationing your cheese here. Fries are the perfect size to share with 2-4 people, depending on your appetite. Staff are friendly, efficient, and effortlessly cool. Interior is spacious, perfectly decorated, and clean. Truly the perfect burger place.

Couple of other options like a hot dog and grilled cheese, but a list of different smash burgers , amazing crinkle cut seasoned fries , drink from the cooler and your set. No alcohol here either. Just sodas. The combo can run you about $15 to $18 . I went with the classic kinda burger. Heffy deluxe, cheese, lettuce, onion, tomato, pickles, mustard and ketchup. To me that's all it really needs in order not to loose the flavor of the burger. Made it a combo with the fries and a drink and it was $15 which in my opinion isn't that bad for a meal theses days. My friend did the same combo and we thoroughly enjoyed every bite. They burger itself has a great taste and so much flavor. The trimmings made it even better and I do love those fries. Throw away your paper plates and napkins after and your done! Service was quick and friendly and the food is simple and delicious. Everyone who lives in Winston should say they've had a burger here. Oh and they will also swap it for a veggie patty if your not a meat eater!

They stay busy so the food is always hot and fresh, the price is right, especially given what big chain fast food wants for a way worse product these days. It's a fairly big place, so you can almost always get a seat indoors... even if they are busy, the line moves quick. Only things I would change, I feel like they could simplify the menu and make things even more affordable. I have literally never seen anyone order half the things on there, most people stick to the burgers, dogs, chicken, and ice cream. Other thing I don't love, christian rock music on repeat in there, not that you can USUALLY hear it with the ambient noise. It's their values, and ultimately, would not stop me from coming, just would be nice to change up the tunes. But, again, perfect hot dogs. Great tasting frank, buttered and grilled bun, cole slaw that isn't mayo heavy, chili that is meat only and not overly spiced to dominate. Wonderful.

The kids' meals come with a free custard, and there are plenty of opportunities for adults to earn free custard, along with separate rewards programs--one for kids and one for adults. Their codfish is excellent and remains crispy even when ordered to go, a quality that applies to all their fried foods. The butterfly shrimp are consistently delicious. They also offer made-to-order butterburgers and pub burgers with a variety of toppings. Among fast food burger joints, Culver's is the most accommodating, providing a wide range of food options for those who don't want a burger. They offer grilled and fried chicken breast, Reuben sandwiches, soups, seafood, salads, broccoli, corn dogs, chili, cheese, fries, pretzel bites with cheddar sauce, onion rings, and Wisconsin cheese bites--there are just too many choices to name, and they're all delicious! And don't get me started on the custard options! There's always a special of the day with extra toppings included for free.

I'm not sure about the vibe inside as we always go to the drive-through. The prices are also competitive. They put shredded lettuce cheese and tartar sauce on the sandwich, but I always get it without the tartar sauce and cheese and add pickles. The sandwich is tasty, but the only complaint I have is that they only have the white hoagie roll and nothing whole wheat or semi healthy. The onion rings are always crispy however there is only a very thin strip of onion inside them. So basically I am enjoying very tasty fried batter. The service was friendly and fast. In their defense, however the place is always packed! Maybe they're getting other items...
