    Chicken quesadilla
    Caroline W.

    Ordered a jr tray and specifically asked for an only cheese quesadilla, opened it up to find chicken. Went back and explained I'm a vegetarian only cheese no chicken. Once again was handed a chicken quesadilla- I simply gave up and lost the money. Bathroom had one stall that was disgusting and the one other stall didn't even lock.

    Cookout Burgers in Macon, GA. Food: Stopped bye Cookout and grabbed two double cheeseburgers with lettuce, pickles, cheese, grilled onions, mustard and ketchup. Service: Service was fast and friendly. Ambiance: A little dim regarding the lighting for a burger joint. A huge dining area, bench and table sitting.

    The cheese curds with ranch bring me back, but the super thick delicious shakes make me pull into this cookout every time i am in Macon! So good! Drivethru or indoor your choice. Booth good!

    Inside the BBQ Sandwich
    Icy E.

    I personally do not know what has happened to Cookout. I have been here 3 times in the last week for myself or someone else. The first time the inner lane was moving slowly. The second time the outer lane was super slow and my food was cold after the wait. Today both lanes super slow and after I pay and get my food I have to tell her I need my drink and cheesecake slice. She returns with the items. The cheesecake is in a bag with chili sauce all over it. The girl at the window with the red braids was super sweet but baby stop digging in your head and handling people's food. It is so unsanitary. I received no fork to eat with nor a straw. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The sweet tea can go for unsweet.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Please do better!!!

    Spicy chicken sandwich

    My friend thought the chicken had a piece of tenden!! but she was wrong. If I could give this cookout zero stars, I would. My friend went through the drive-thru and ordered two spicy chicken trays. They informed her that one of the trays would take longer to cook, but she was fine with that. When she got home, her 2-year-old was eating one of the sandwiches. Concerned about the pink coloration on the chicken, my friend decided to check her toddler's sandwich. To her dismay, she discovered that the entire inner portion of the chicken was raw. It's unacceptable and disrespectful that they made her wait extra time for raw chicken. I recommend corporate re-trains their cooks.

    Food is what you expect for the cost at a fast food restaurant but the ordering process needs some organization and clarity.

    Food was great but they need to fix their speakers. They couldn't hear us order so we had to go inside.

    I didn't know it was possible to find a Cookout that wasn't stellar. Lo and behold Macon Georgia you got one

    AN EXPERIENCE NOT JUST A MEAL…read more This place is located in a kind of seedy downtown area of Macon. We walked in and the vibe throughout the place won me over instantly. When the staff seem to enjoy their jobs and working with each other as well, chances are you have a winner. We were seated immediately in a cozy booth with floor to ceiling graffiti. The place just oozed character! We were told that at times in the loft above our heads they had live music FYI. The waitress was friendly and on point. We never found ourselves waiting to order or for drinks, etc. The food was great. We started with the solid gold soul rolls which were tasty. I'd say 2-3 people for this app. My wife had the hot pig and fig which she enjoyed. She wanted something a little light and it was perfect for her. I ordered the Dr John Burger. The cook forgot my bacon . No bueno. Our waitress was game and was quick to bring me bacon to complete the burger. It was well cooked and the flavors were excellent so all was good. Our companion enjoyed her food as well. We all left full and happy. And, yes I would return and I recommend trying them yourself.

    The Rookery is definitely worth a visit if you're in downtown Macon. The atmosphere is fun,…read morewelcoming, and full of local character, and the service was friendly throughout our meal. We started with the fried green tomatoes, which were a great appetizer--crispy, flavorful, and a nice way to kick things off. For our entrées, we had the fish and chips and the smoked turkey sandwich. The fish had a nice crispy batter, and the smoked turkey sandwich was tasty and satisfying. My only disappointment was the fries. They were a bit soggy and lacked the crispiness I was hoping for, especially with the fish and chips. A crisp, hot fry would have taken the meal to the next level. Overall, the food was good, the atmosphere was enjoyable, and I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.
