Big double burger with fries
Danielle S.

Always a hit! Love the trays great value and high quality food! Also they have an amazing selection of shakes!!!

Big Double Tray w/ a quesadilla & French fries
Mary T.

Besides Waffle House, this is your best go to for late night food. They are open until 3am. Several times I have been thru here and they have given me the wrong order, of course I check it and drive back thru and they can't take it back because it's been in my car, so bonus I get extra meals free. Make sure to check your order before you drive off. I enjoy the big box meal, you can customize your burger and get 2 sides and a drink. Good bang for your buck. They also have delicious milkshakes, over 50 flavors. If you are having late night hunger or just have a sweet tooth during normal hours, go check this place out, I'm sure they won't disappoint. Cheers & Enjoy!

4 little cheese curds for the order
Rhiannon S.

Not sure how nuggets sounds anything like coleslaw but that's what I got. I'm a vegetarian and ordered cheese quesadilla with cheese bites and coleslaw. I have nuggets instead of coleslaw. Also ordered light ice as I'm heading back to work for the rest of the day and wanted the drink to last a while and it is so full of ice I can barely get the straw in. Also the cheese curds has 4 tiny curds in it. These wouldn't have happened if the person taking the order listened better.

The "side" of cheddar cheese bites that don't even fill half of a French fry bag.

Update: It had been a while since I went here so I gave them another shot. My first warning was that the place was empty during the usual lunch rush. First, it is 2019 and this Cookout still doesn't take AmeEx. In the digital era we live in, that is unacceptable to me. Second, the staff is no longer courteous, so the one thing they had going for them is now gone. I ordered a side of cheddar cheese bites with my meal. I got less than half a fry bag of them. Maybe one day Cookout corporate will read these reviews and sack everyone at this location. Maybe then it can become a good fast food eatery. Original review: This Cookout used to be the place you could get an affordable meal and the order would be right every time. It's not anymore. Every single time I go to this location, they can't get the order right. Doesn't matter what I order, it's wrong. Asking for a plain burger gets you all the toppings, asking for no mayo gets you mayo, or asking for no ice gets you a cup full of nothing but ice. It doesn't matter which side of the drive-thru you use, they're both equally inept. The walk up window is slow and nobody pays attention to it, especially if you've gotten out of your car to bring them the drive-thru order they've gotten wrong. This location used to be great but in the last year they've gone downhill. The staff is still courteous but that's all they've got going for them. Until they add an order confirmation screen or start getting it right, there's plenty of other fast drive-thrus in this area that will at least get your order right.

Their menu

I don't normally review larger chain restaurants, but I wanted to review this one so as to better document my travels across the U.S. My friends and I had stopped by this particular Cook Out location on our road trip from Nashville, TN to Asheville, NC. I had suggested this place because I had read about it on Reddit and how their meal sets can come with things like chicken quesadillas or milk shakes. Lo and behold, they were right: you can indeed get a meal where you could get additional entrees, basically, as sides, as well as a float or shake. So, what can a vegetarian get here? Not too much, but the crew here were super nice and they had made me a quesadilla sans meat. For my sides, I had their hushpuppies and fries, and I washed it all down with a Cheerwine float. All of this ended up costing me $5 and some change. I couldn't believe how unbelievably cheap the food was. My friends were also awestruck with the costs of their meals, and for how cheap the food was, it was actually fairly tasty, too! If you happen to be in TN or in the Carolinas, as well as some other select locations throughout the south, try to swing by one of these places. It's dirt cheap and fairly good for fast food.

Headed to a Smokies game, we chose to stop into SmashCity for a pregame burger…read more The service and burger came up quickly. I opted for the truffle smash and large fry. My buddy opted for the Spicy Smash. The burgers were mmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmm great, Juicy and the bun held up. Fries were fresh and would like to see maybe a topping or poutine option for them. Cool spot to get some AC and great burger before a Smokies game or a night in the old City.

We already had 250 miles under our belt for the day. 4 more hours to home. I was sick of fast food…read moreand we were making good time so we decided to venture off the road, but just a little. SmashCity wasn't far off of the interstate, it had good ratings and although we'd been eating burgers and fries quite a bit on this roadtrip, a good burger and fries really sounded good. All of the reviews were right on - this was absolutely NOT fast food - it was fast, really fast, but the speed was just bonus. As we usually do, we split. We chose the Carolina BBQ smash. The burgers were juicy - if you're not careful, I guarantee you'll be wearing it. Two critiques, it definitely needed more sauce - I just added some of the SmashCity sauce from our fries and it worked but I really would have liked to have had more BBQ sauce. Second, the fried onions were quite burned. I pulled off most of them. The hand cut fries were piping hot, just the right amount of greasy and seasoned perfectly. Splitting the burger was a good call - I'd never have eaten the whole thing myself. The burger and fries were just over $20. When you consider a Big Mac meal at that clown place is $14, SmashCity is almost a bargain. Paul, the owner was like the energizer bunny - he was everywhere at once. Personality oozed from his pores. Make sure you tell him Sue said hi! (He won't remember me but just say hi anyway!) Now I wouldn't say SmashCity has the best burgers - that award goes to our friend Jerry. He makes a pretty mean smash burger on the blackstone. If you have an extra half hour, skip the fast food burger joints, get off that highway, and go let Paul fill your belly for the rest of your trip! You'll appreciate it!

First-timer to CAVA and it was delicious! Made my own Greens & Grains bowl with:…read more* Choose 1 greens: power greens * Choose 1 grain: black lentils * Choose up to 3 dips + sauces: roasted eggplant, tzatziki, and red pepper hummus * Choose 1-2 mains: falafels (delicious!) * As many toppings: fiery broccoli, fire-roasted corn, pickled onions, salt-brined pickles, tomato + cucumber, and sumac slaw * Choose up to 2 dressings: balsamic date vinaigrette (a little sweeter than a standard vinaigrette, but not too sweet) Smaller portions of each item, but the final result was delicious and I didn't feel overly stuffed. Just right. The Tangerine Aleppo drink was refreshing with a tiny peppery kick. It was busy for dinner on Friday and it seems people were waiting a bit for their to-go orders but they did a good job of keeping the line inside moving. We were making 3 different bowls and there was a misunderstanding on the main. They added steak to the wrong bowl and remade it for me which is very much appreciated. A good number of tables inside that could work for small or bigger groups. There was also a small patio with outside seating,

I thought this was all very tasty. My only issue was that portions and prices are both a bit high…read more I wish they had a 'senior' meal. I got a basic bowl and it was literally two full meals for me, and I had just finished playing tennis for 2 hours and was hungry! It's a great way to get quick and tasty Mediterranean food. It's a good concept, and I was pleased they had suggested or curated dishes--- sometimes it is hard to know how to COMBINE all the different meats/sauces/veggies, etc. So that was nice. For a casual fast-place, its very tasty...but give me a senior meal!

Omg!!! A double line and parking lot full.. security guards keeping a good flow and it's our first…read moretime!! 15 plus cars back and the line moves with ease.. menu is simplistic with those famous fingers in boxes of 2.. 3 .. 4.. 6 or tailgate fingers of 50.. 75... 100!! Your finger box includes fries.. grilled bread and Cole slaw and their sauce and choice of 32oz. drink!! Catsup for the fries... simple.. to the point.. perfected and ... it's great! Fingers are big.. coated to perfection and we split the 6 finger box meal!! It was ENOUGH!! SAUCE... great! Hate to say but... chick filet has a challenge in the wings!! Or should I say fingers Great.. service.. meal and prices are reasonable ... our 6 piece meal which filled us was $16.99 .. actually cheaper than two burgers/fries and drinks at a drive through! They are gona rock it we think... give it a try!! It's real chicken!!!

Terrible lines...we had to come try it to see what the hype was about. Waiting in line after 20…read moreminutes and still not moving very much, I decided to run inside and place my order, hubby drove around while I ran inside. I ordered the 6 piece with crinkle fries and slaw and a 32 oz. Drink. $19 for this. A little expensive on my opinion. The tenders were not big, they were a little below average, had a bland taste, very tender, juicy but needed spice. I did like the southwest sauce that came with it. Slaw was ok, nothing to brag about. The crinkle fries were dry and thin cut, hard and crispy. Everything was hot and fresh. Would I eat here again. Uhhhh, maybe. I wasn't overly impressed.
