    I just recently discovered Cookout as it's open very late at night so it's great convenience for a college student who's been hanging out with their friends all night and looking for a late night meal. I usually get something like a burger and onion rings and it's always a top tier hit late at night, and the vibes of the restaurant being only outside makes everything so much better. As an affordable late night food spot that's close to campus, it's perfect for any college student, and it's very easy to meet people as the vibes are always great. Overall the restaurant itself is all outside seating and is usually pretty neat, with the only issue being if it's packed it's hard to find seating which I usually think it's pretty busy. I find this to always be a reliable spot to hangout with friends and get some quality food in.

    I don't think I have to explain much.. onions make me sick too

    Asked for pickles on my sandwich. Got onions instead with pickles stated on the receipt. Usually never complain but onions make me sick and now I gotta ride this out and after stating 3 times over the speaker what I wanted on my sandwich lol.

    burger, slaw, cajun fries

    Only average, nothing unique, I would rather go to another burger fast food restaurant. The 5 dollar meals at Wendy's and McDonalds are better and much cheaper. I paid 9 dollars for a small sized burger, fries, and slaw. No desire to go back.

    The burger was delicious. It had that chargrilled flavor. It taste just like a homemade burger off the grill. I like that they have different styles or ways to try a burger. My husband got the cookout style chili dog and said "this is the best hotdog I have had in several years." We were surprised to find a cookout in KY. They are a stable in NC and SC. Got a peach milk shake and had to use a spoon to "drink" it. Will definitely be returning.

    Stop by in the cookout for the first time with my wife and some friends after Luke Combs concert. We were feeling pretty good I must say and we ordered a lot of food and all the grease and goodness help fill our bellies and get rid of some of that alcohol so it was excellent and I will be back

    Grilled chicken, 3 nuggets and 5 cheese curds

    The food is quick and most times good but lately it's been lacking flavor. The meals they offer are fast food and usually good but this time around it was subpar. I don't normally say anything destructive but it was just so disappointing at my last visit that I may just never return unless in desperate hunger... my chicken pulled very funny when I bite into it, which made me question how it's grilled. The nuggets, my dog wouldn't even eat them and the cheese curds were just tiny grease balls. Overall a disappointing experience this time around unfortunately. But not every time can be a 5 experience at a fast food place and I get that, so I'm giving this place a happy medium with a 3 rating.

    I want to cook out, and search for a good meal, because it usually is. Today I went to go pick me up a burger, and drove back to UK hospital, and when I open my food my burger bun was soggy!!! I've been in the hospital for over four hours and every time I usually go the food is good except for today.

    Great service and excellent food.  Satisfaction guaranteed.

    Repeated my order 4 times and still got sub par food. If you do not want to do your job and do it correctly, go home!

    When I was a student at UK, this was the place for students. They have many good alternatives and…read morethey are offered until late, including burgers, loaded fries, and breakfast favorites. I always get the Mega HO Burger, which is a 3/4 lb Triple Burger with all the dressings. All their burgers are made with fresh daily ground beef. My second favorite is the Philly Steak Sandwich, with swiss, mushrooms, peppers oniongs, lettuce sna dhte house sauce. My wife always got the special fried chicken sandwich, which comes with hanarneo cheese, jalapenos, lettuce, tommatoe and mayo. We either get the crinkle-cut fries or the tots as sides. In addition to being roomy and tidy, the interior had several vintage games. This place is excellent for both big and small parties (particularly after a late night). The service has always been friendly and timely. Overall the prices were a little too pricey for a place like this on a college student's budget but the food was delicious and the amounts were substantial. I would still suggest it and will probably come back. There is a rumor, however, that this place may be closing in the near future.

    Fantastic grub spot…read more Solid options ranging from breakfast staples to burgers and loaded fries, all available into the late hours. The interior was clean, spacious, and even had some classic games. Great for groups large or small (especially after a late night). Service was friendly and prompt. Food tasted great and portions were quite generous, though prices were a tad on the higher end for a spot like this. Would still recommend and will likely be returning.
