All we had was their shakes. So thick & creamy you need a spoon to eat them. There are I believe 44 different combinations of shakes you can have. Me I'm a double chocolate kind of guy. Forgot what flavor my wife had. We will be back on our trip up north. read more

Lady at the register wasn't pleasant. And wtf is this sandwich ? I look forward to the cookout when I visit home but I'll stick to the Fayetteville locations for now on. read more

Uh... They royally messed up the order. My friend and I thought the order was quite straightforward. Somehow, it was a collosal disaster. It's not like the food is good. It's barely passable actually. The fires were fine but the quality of the burgers were.... Disappointing to say the least. At the very least, I can say my stomach was full and my wallet didn't take much damage. In other words: cheap food, cheap service. read more

I went to Cookout and had to wait about 15 minutes before my order was taken. I then waited another 15 minutes and still did not receive my order. I had to ask for a refund. I don't think that I will go to the Cookout in Lumberton any time soon. It did not make any sense that the other line was steady moving, but the line that I was in took that long. I had to call the Corporate Office. read more

PHENOMENAL service the lady in the window was so sweet and patient with us even when we had a complicated order. The food was so speedy we were in and out of there very fast. Whole car is pleased with how fast, fresh, hot, and delicious the food was. This was my first experience with a cook out and they have done a great job. Congratulations to the management and staff, y'all are killing it!!! read more

I came here on a Sunday night with a friend. I've been to other locations in NC. We went to the drive thru. I ordered a BBQ pork sandwich with cole slaw. My friend ordered the cajun chicken filet sandwich. The BBQ sandwich was so soggy even though I ate it right away. The pork was bland and just not very appealing. I've had better at other locations. My friend's chicken sandwich was good. Also, none of the staff were wearing masks (I came during COVID-19). I think I'll stick to other locations unless I have to go to this location. read more

Cook Out - BBQ sandwich - Burgers Near Me - Lumberton, North Carolina

Not how we remember cook out. Food was not good. Made us sad. Not sure what is was - it lacked flavor, it wasn't cooked well - hush puppies were like small flavorless balls - not the nice sized properly cooked flavorful hush puppies that deliver moist softness with the perfect crunch on the outside! read more

Drive thru joint that offers charcoal grilled hand formed burgers, hot dogs and chix sandwiches. You can order a la carte or a tray. The tray gives you one sandwich, your choice of 2 sides and a huge drink-- good deal ! They also have awesome handmade shakes !! The menu selection is big. One tip, the regular burger actually has more meat than than the double burger. The doubler burger uses 2 smaller patties. I ordered the regular burger , fries, onion rings a huge tea with lemon. I didnt get the lemon, :(. The burger is good size maybe 6 ounce and is perfectly grilled. It tastes just a burger off the backyard grill - hence cookout. Yummmm. Juicy and delicious. The onions rings are well breaded and crisp, good flavor. The fries are awesome,handcut and using their own special seasoning!! The lines get long, but they have this down and they move fast. Check this place out next time you are craving good cookout burgers or hot dogs. read more

The Big Double and fries was delicious. The person who took my order was very polite and professional.

The cashier was very professional and nice. We had a fairly big order and she was able to make sure that we received all of our items. The food was good and hot. Great job guys! read more

Man that's disgusting ordered 2 chicken quesadillas and an order of Cajun fry instead I got 2 pieces of cheese lump and scraps of chicken the saddest part is I woulda been okay with the bad quesadillas if the Cajun fries where good but even the fries where bad the main reason I come to cook is the fries and they had a piece of hair in them almost vomited feeling the long piece of hair in my mouth I left it in the fries for you guys to see read more

Cook Out - Nasty - Burgers Near Me - Lumberton, North Carolina

Bad Decision! Worst BBQ Pork I've ever had! It was mushy and weirdly seasoned. Thankfully the fries were okay (awfully salty) and the hush puppies were good. In addition I had to ask to get a bag for my order in the drive through and caught attitude from the teenager waiting on me! read more

The employees were rude. The drive-through window was unresponsive. They mixed up the size of my drink, and was upset with me because I wanted to correct it. Everyone appeared to hate their job. I started every sentence with a salutation, and none were returned. read more

Somewhat busy night but I was able to pull in and make my order quickly. There's two billboards for drive thru and one up front for standing to order. I got the cheesecake milkshake that never disappoints but with walnuts. Wasn't sure if it would have walnut flavored milkshake mix with or without but I think it was just the nuts added. There were plenty at the bottom but it was good anyway. read more

Cook Out - Walnut cheesecake milkshake - Burgers Near Me - Lumberton, North Carolina

I loooove Cook Out! I am writing this review based upon the fact that they are a FAST FOOD place. I'm not expecting The Cheesecake Factory. I'm giving them five stars bears on what they offer. It drives me crazy when people review a fast food place and expect fine dining. But if you want to know about eating at Cook Out -- here you go.... There are a few things to know: -Their speaker systems suck. I've never been to a Cook Out where I can hear the server clearly. -They are in a hurry - but you can ask questions and make sure your order is right. But I suggest you figure out what you want before you get to the ordering speaker. -Their shakes are AMAZING. Enough said. -The "Trays" work like this: order what main food you want - then you get two sides. They aren't huge sides - so you can always double up on one side instead of getting two separate sides. Just say "double fries". -The people working there are generally really friendly and chill. Probably their best asset. Please be kind to them. -Their corn dogs are my favorite. Love the onion rings too. -Ask them to repeat your order before driving to the payment window. Since their speaker system sucks, it's easy for them to misunderstand something you've ordered. -Finally, Cook Out is WAY more economical than Hardee's or McDonalds and in my opinion they've got much better food. Enjoy! read more

We are so glad we stopped here on our long road trip! The employee taking our order was so kind and efficient. All of our food came out piping hot and delicious, especially the tenders and corn dogs. For a $5 lunch, it can't be beat! read more

Cook Out - Parked at the restaurant next door and walked to the window to order - Burgers Near Me - Lumberton, North Carolina

Rude and disrespectful at the walkup window made me wait 20 minutes on purpose. Fore my blueberry shake

Stopped by for a quick brunch, ended up waiting around 25 minutes for our food after receiving attitude and the wrong order. Never had such problems at other cookouts, a bit disappointed as we are now late to an appointment. read more

Options for sides: like freakin affinity, gosh. Hours: ALL OF THEM. That's key for a place like this. Service: Saltier than the fries! You better know what you want before you get there. I liked the burger slightly more than I expected to - it's along the lines of Checkers/Rally but cheaper. So many kinds of shakes. They're thick, they're decent. Helpful expectation-lowering fact of life: Do not expect outstanding BBQ if you can't smell the smoke when you get there. read more

This place has the best milkshakes but the hotdogs need some work. Actually I received a little hot dog with my onions. It was ridiculous.

Last night (5/28/19) was by far my worst experience with the night shift here. I get there right after work and I get to the speaker and no one says anything for over 5 minutes!! 3 cars on the left side had already got their food so I pulled up to see if I could get somebody. Before I pull to the window I overhear the attendant speaking to the truck that was behind me!! So, I pull up to the window then nobody is at the window for about 2-3 more minutes. She gets to the window and I explain I've been waiting almost 10 mins just to order something and she looked at me and said "it's this b***s*** a** speaker." Like whaaattt!? She didn't apologize not once and that's what really irritated me. I just think it's crazy how the speaker worked fine before I got to it and after I pulled read more

Well...everything was good until I found a fingernail - a painted acrylic fingernail - in my milkshake!!! Someone please tell me how you lose a fingernail in a milkshake?!!!! It was pretty disgusting, and as such, I could never recommend going here!! read more

Cook Out - Fingernail in my milkshake!!!! - Burgers Near Me - Lumberton, North Carolina

My husband is travelling South on I=95 and stopped in to get lunch. he ordered a burger, fries and chile, but they gave him a barbecue sandwich instead of the burger. He didn't notice it until he left and was back on the highway. How does someone mistake an order for a small burger with mustard, ketchup, lettuce and onions for a barbeque sandwich??? Won't be stopping at this Cookout again!! I would recommend stopping elsewhere!! read more

Was driving from NY to FL and needed something good and filling along the way. Stopped for gas and stumbled upon this place and I'm glad I did. Cheap, big portions, and pretty tasty for drive thru food. For about $5 I got a small combo with a cheeseburger, milkshake, onion rings, and slaw. First--what a freaking deal! The cheeseburger was tasty--loaded up with grilled onions, cheddar, and bacon. It was a bit greasy, but to be honest, that's exactly what I was in the mood for. Onion rings were crispy and good. Slaw was basic but no complaints. Milkshake was amaaazing! Only issue I had was that it was near impossible to understand the drive thru speaker and I had to pray that nothing got messed up (it didn't). The next time I do this trip I very well may go out of my way to stop there again. read more

Great grilled burgers for a fantastic price. You can buy a ton of food for under $20 and walk away stuffed. I got the huge (1/2 lbs) burger for $2.79 (plus 10 cents for tomato) (See picture). I instantly knew this isn't a McDonalds, 5 Guys, Sonic or Wendy's burger, since those burger patties are fried. Cook Out offers two thick patties grilled (Huge burger), as the name implies, on a flame grill. Can you believe the price? Where can you get a burger that cheap and tastes this good? My wife got a Footlong hot dog for $1.99. She loved it, but didn't care for the coleslaw. She said it wasn't creamy. (See picture). We both got shakes for $2.39 each. She got a Strawberry cheese cake, that had actual cheesecake in the shake. No faux cake or dough. One of the downsides to this Cook Out restaurant was that it does not have a sitting area to eat, but I did eat at a Cook Out in Wilson, NC that did have a sit-down area, but it was small and hard to get an available seat. This Cook Out does have duel Drives-In lanes, which does mainly drive-thru business, since there is no place to sit. Another downside is the walk-up, order window is right next to a drive-thru window, so you have to be careful you don't get hit by a car pulling up to or away from the drive-thru window. It is a poorly designed walk-up window area. This Cook Out beats the fast-food chains by price and taste. I wish there was one in my area! read more

Greasy and gross. This location was rude and had a piss poor attitude during the ordering process, just to get my order wrong with no remorse. Since I was on my way to SC, it was good I didn't make the highway before finding out they screwed my order up. I ended up returning the entire meal because the sloppy presentation of the reheated (not fresh) burger...so hot the foil wrapper was burning hot...for what had to be cash since they can't credit your card if used as the form of payment. I will never stop at this Lumberton location ever again--ever. read more

Because I was passing this location as I drove down I-95, I'm not sure if I got standard service or if the person in front of me (drive thru) was the most complicated order-er in SE NC. My "quick" stop took no less than 15 minutes and all I ordered was a milkshake and a sweet tea. But, when I pulled up to the window (finally), my order was ready. The gal working the window didn't seem overly friendly, but I think we might have both been annoyed at the previous customer, so it didn't really matter. That said, Cookout has 40 different types of milkshakes and they are consistently good at every Cookout I've been to. I'm meh on the food since it's pretty greasy fried fare, but it's great hangover/post night out food. It helps that they are open until practically dawn on Fri/Sat nights. read more

Road trip pit stop. Cookout is littered all over the Carolinas. Drive thru seems to be the only ordering option. Unlike Sonics which give you the park,order, eat in car format. Cookout is just a straight drive thru with optional walk up window ordering. Awesome milkshake, good quality ice cream, plenty of varieties. Burgers, hotdogs and BBQ is nothing spectacular, but not bad either. Solid quick-fix burger/milkshake kind of place. read more

It's a fast food burger... and they don't put any catsup or mayo on it.... so dry. I ordered the double burger cheddar style. Sounds good and big right! Wrong.. it's kind of like a small quarter pounder.. so there's that. The kids liked the chicken but it didn't have anything in it.. just grilled chicken so ya.. bug they were fast and friendly... and we aren't hungry anymore.. otherwise it would be a one star. read more

First time checking out a Cook Out. I only purchased a milkshake. I will say, it was one of THE BEST milkshakes I have ever had.

I saw the sign miles away and knew that I wanted to stop at a place that wasn't the everyday place. I like how easy it was to get too and the food got to me fast. The best thing about traveling is when you hop off the highway, grab a bite and are able to get back on the road with hot food and your order being correct. Oh and my Peach Cobbler shake did not disappoint, the other places don't have that kind of variety. read more

Perhaps the worst barbecue I've ever tasted. Maybe the burgers and dogs are better, but I figured I'm in the south, how can BBQ go wrong? It went very wrong here. The fries were good...but I don't really eat fries. I eat a few, but damn. Quantity isn't an issue. Nor is price -- which should have been a clue. 10lbs of whatever for under $5 can't ever be good. read more
