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.

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.

They've…read morenever made a mistake on our order, which always includes specially ordered kids' meals for the grandbabies. 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. Kids' meals come with their choice of flavor plus one topping--even if they choose the special of the day, they can still add one topping! I cannot speak highly enough of the location on Pecan Lane just off Union Cross Road in Kernersville, North Carolina. The staff is incredible! They hire some of the sweetest people who genuinely enjoy their jobs. It's a lovely place to dine in, as well as order takeout.

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...

They are advertising a Big Fat Chicken Taco right now. On the posters it looks like a chalupa she'll like Taco Bell has so I was all in. Turns out it's not fat at all. It's like a soft pita with fake grill marks and no flavor. I think it might have even been a wheat pita at that. It was soft, but they aren't even warming it before filling it. This one was a huge miss for me and I won't order it again. Also, the grilled chicken, although plentiful had a texture that was off putting to me. It was too soft so that signaled it was super processed. The Del Taco as always was delicious and had that freshly grated cheese. The quantity of cheese is very inconsistent on this one. I've had them there with a bunch of cheese stuffed inside that crunchy shell and today they were a little light on the cheese for my taste. It's OK! Definitely not a dealbreaker. I wanted to try the fresh guacamole today so I ordered a side of guacamole and chips. The chips are served warm in a small bag and the guacamole is a much larger portion than anything. Taco Bell gives you. It is also chunky and fresh made from real avocado, not from a bag some other restaurants serve. I will absolutely order the guacamole again. It was fantastic!

The sandwiches added are the Deep Fried Turkey Gobbler (1/4 pound of thick sliced turkey breast, Swiss cheese, stuffing, cranberry spread, crispy onions, and mayo on a sub roll), and the Deep Fried Turkey Club ( 1/4 pound of thick sliced Deep Fried Turkey, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, bacon, and mayo on a sub roll). The turkey is breast meat which is deep fried and then thickly sliced. Depending on the timing of orders the slices could be in a warmer for a while before your sandwich is prepared. Neither the stuffing nor the cranberry spread are prepared in house - these items are commercially produced, and freshness is not there in either item. Most if not all of Arby's sauces including Horsey sauce is commercially produced for the company! The Gobbler is not a bad sandwich but it is not one I would rush back to get again. The smallish amount of the turkey causes its decent taste to get lost in flavors of the other items, especially the crispy onions, the stuffing, and the cranberry spread. Throw in the well sized sub roll and there is much for the turkey flavor and texture to fight through. The stuffing is much like Stove Top. The Turkey Club was a better sandwich, with more distinct tastes and textures, though I would love to have some of the cranberry spread on it! All in all though, I'm probably turkeyed out at Arby's.
