I went to this location around 11pm on a Saturday. Let me preface this review by saying I had never heard of this place and didn't have the energy to look up reviews before going. It was late and I needed a burger, and someone recommended it, so I went. Ordered a tray with a burger, chicken wrap and fries. The food was just lackluster. Nothing special at all. I also got a blueberry cheesecake milkshake which was delicious. Was still hungry after the tray that I also got a hot dog. Besides the food being just ok, what really annoyed me was the crowd. It was a bunch of teenagers and they were being so loud! Maybe I'm at that age where noise bothers me, but the chairs scraping on the cement floor and all the chatter and activity had me on edge. If you like food that has taste and a calm ambiance, avoid this place at all costs! read more

This was my first visit to the Manassas location, but the food and fast service remained the same as other locations I've been to. I ordered a tray with a double burger, fries, chicken nuggets, and a strawberry cheesecake shake (which has become my favorite shake). read more

Cook Out - Fast Food Near Me - Manassas Park, Virginia

Cook Out never disappoints! Number 1 fan honestly with a an amazing menu. Everything here hits the mark: the burger is A+ and satisfying, and the hush puppies are perfectly crisp on the outside and soft inside. Service is always quick and friendly, and the sauces are bountiful. The standout for me, though, is the Orange Pop Milkshake. It's a must tbh. It captures a nostalgic, creamsicle-like flavor that keeps me coming back. Will forever be a Cook Out Stan read more

Cook Out - Cook out order received - Fast Food Near Me - Manassas Park, Virginia

This location doesn't have the friendliest workers but they are super fast and get orders in and out fast, and fresh food every time! Delish and hottt which is always a plus because it sucks to get stale fries or a burger that's just been sitting there. Great for what it is. read more

The food is consistently amazing, and it truly hits the spot no matter what you're craving. The barbecue sandwich is packed with flavor, the walking taco is such a fun (and delicious) option, and the corn dog is perfectly crispy. The cheese fries, chili, and nachos are all indulgent and satisfying. Their burgers are juicy, the BLTs are fresh and well-balanced, and the chicken snack wrap is always a go-to. Honestly, it's hard to go wrong because everything on the menu tastes great. On top of that, the service is always quick and friendly, even when they're busy. The staff keeps things moving efficiently, and the restaurant is clean and well-maintained. If you're looking for fast food that's flavorful, affordable, and consistently good, Cook Out never disappoints. read more

The double burger was "better tasting" than the single burger. The fries were just okay, and just warm. The onion rings were okay, but only got 4. We also got cheese nuggets and hush puppies which we both enjoyed. The special shake, seasonal watermelon and a cheer wine ice cream float were better than expected. The service attendant for the drive through was helpful and kind to answer any questions we had. We did not go inside so cannot rate the ambiance. Overall, our experience was above average for this fast food restaurant. read more

First of all, I grade my food reviews based on like restaurants - i.e. fast food with fast food, upscale seafood with upscale seafood, etc. And among the fast food choices, "Cook Out" stands out. Where else can you get a "Tray" of food with (e.g.) a double burger, corn dog, hush puppies and a decent sized drink for under $10.00? You can't. And it's not just the volume of food that makes it. The choices are varied - combos of wraps, burgers, chicken, slaw, cheese curds - the list goes on. And the soft drink choices include their famous "Cheerwine" - a fizzy, cherry flavored soda that is as tasty as it is unique. The food is prepared quickly, and the employees are competent and friendly. Have been to this location several times on family visits, and it doesn't disappoint! read more

General manager extremely RUDE slammed the DT window on my face all because they made a mistake on my order and she had no clue about what was going on and the only weapon she can use with her bad attitude on me like I was constantly problem! This restaurant is out of control. A lot of people chilling inside and Service is extremely poor. They have a young lady who struggling taking orders and there's zero training so this poor thing has been set up for failure as well as a big part of the team. This manager is one of the worst I ever faced as a customer. Brand new restaurant and three stars already.?? now I know why... read more

I decided to start 2026 off with a bang and visit my favorite fast food joint Cook out. The birth of my 3 children doesn't compare to the joy I feel from getting 5 quesadillas and a milkshake for $9. This establishment was incredibly clean and well kept. Staff were kind and the food was delicious. Will be returning to this location! read more

First time trying this and was really impressed! $14.50 for a burger, corn dog, chicken quesadilla, drink, and Cajun chicken sandwich. Chicken really tasted like it came out a backyard grill. Corn dog had the right amount of crunch and breading. Quesadilla had a lot of cheese for a side! Cheer wine had a nice semi sweet cheery flavor. The burger was similar to 5 guys but a little smaller. The pictures don't do it justice. I'll definitely be back, worth a little drive. The drive thru was busy but it moved at a decent pace. It read more

I've wanted to try Cook Out for over a decade after a friend told me about their milkshake selection. I am a milkshake fiend. This location did not disappoint about that. I had a wonderful Peanut butter fudge milkshake. However, everything else was nothing short of madness. The bathroom situation is okay. Only one stall in the room so you can lock the door. That door, though, must weigh 10 pounds. There's no reason for someone to have to throw their entire weight against a door to get it to open. The decor is bizarre. What part of industrial metal tables and silver, red, black walls says, "welcome to my backyard. Have a cheeseburger"? There's a tiny counter for placing orders, and the youngster taking orders was either new or stupid. He just couldn't remember to push the chicken tender button so Jeremy could order some. This happened TWICE because after being disappointed by the size of the patties in his first sandwich, Jeremy went back to get a second burger. And to try for the chicken tenders again. He still had to practically yell, "dude!! Chicken tenders!!" At the kid before he wandered off behind the scenes. When Jeremy asked if he could have two of the bigger patties (like the one that came on my burger), the kid had to call for his manager. They conversed briefly in Spanish before the substitution was allowed. I got the Steak Burger, which came with tomato, lettuce, an entire slab of grilled onion, A1 and mayo. I thought the burger would be moist, considering the two sauces, but I was wrong. Man, that sandwich was dry. The onions were the only thing to give it flavor. I got onion rings and hush puppies as my sides. Both would have benefitted from some salt, as they were fairly tasteless. Crunchy, yes. Delicious, no. Jeremy got some burger with cheese sauce the second time around, and was finally satisfied. The quesadilla side is laughable. I don't understand why that's even on the menu. When's the last time you went to a backyard barbecue and there were quesadillas on the grill? It was a decent amount of food for the price, but none of it was anything I'd crave or want to revisit... except for the shake. I'm sitting here wondering what the banana peanut butter one tastes like... maybe just avoid this location. read more

it was cool. My friend is from North Carolina and loves Cook Out out there so we wanted to check out this spot in VA. I think it's a nice spot to go to for cheap fast food especially late at night. I got a chicken sandwich, beef quesadilla and fries with a caramel fudge milkshake for only $10. I think it was some sort of pick one main and two slides platter deal. Everything was good too! My friends got burgers and quesadillas and even a walking taco. My friend also got the banana pudding milkshake and it was so good. It even had crush wafers on the inside. There have a bunch of different milkshake flavors you can mix together! I heard usually Cook Out is drive through but there was a giant seating room with black and white wall tiling and red decor. We got our food really fast like within fast minutes and the service was chill like nice and patient while we decided what we wanted to eat. Overall it was good. I definitely see the hype as a fast food restaurant. read more

I love cook out. Tbh all of the food is pretty mid, but it's cheap and great for late nights. Burgers, tenders, corn dogs- all good. Milkshakes all good. My friends always get the cheer wine. read more

Cook Out is a privately-owned restaurant that started out in NC, but there are locations in TN, SC, GA, VA, WV, and KY. This particular Cook Out has been opened for just a few months, and their menu is just like any other Cook Outs, offering items such as char-grilled burgers/chicken breast/hot dogs, chopped pork BBQ, spicy chicken breast fillet, chicken strips, sides, floats, and a variety of milkshakes. We came here for a later lunch, and we ordered: +a Big Double Burger - with no buns +a Jr. TRAY - opting for a small burger, a side of fries and white cheddar cheese bites, and a Cheerwine The buns on the burger were dried out, and the patties themselves were pretty small; having a double versus a single didn't really make much of a difference. The fries could have been freshly made, as they were cold. The curds were good, but could have been more cheesy and melty inside. Condiments are gratis. Service is pretty friendly, and there's ample seating inside; there's no self-serve for drinks here, so you'll have to go up to the counter to get refills. Plenty of parking in their private lot; they also have a drive-thru. +Cheerwine soda +friendly service +drive-thru available +parking available in lot read more

Cheerwine?!? Count me in! While in the military I been to a few cookouts in the south. I had no idea there was one in Virginia until recently. I was already in manassas for something else and was hungry and low and behold cookout was nearby. If you've never been give it a go. It's literally bbq cookout food. Burgers are better than 5 guys to me they have walking tacos and of course my favorite ... cheerwine! read more

Cook Out - Fast Food Near Me - Manassas Park, Virginia

The customer service at this location has severely increased. The staff is always nice. The food comes out hot and fresh and if there is a mistake they usually fix it quickly. I'm an avid visitor of this location & they've continued to improve on how they operate. read more

So I heard so much hype about the cook out that I drove 30 minutes out to try this fast food place. Service is quick, you can sit in or drive thru and we just drove through. I feel like I can't fairly review this place because I didn't get much- just a shake for under $5 and cheddar cheese bites. It came out to about $8 so the real deal here is getting their Cook Out combo where you can sub a drink for a shake for $1, and it would come with a whole entree (burger) side (like cheese curds or quesadilla) and a drink for around $9-10. There are so many options for shakes and I want to try more, but I heard their banana shakes use fresh bananas so I went for the PB banana. It tasted good, just really hard to suck up the straw and nothing spectacular. I heard their cheesecake shake might be better because they use real cheesecake so maybe I can try that next time. A lot of the peanut butter ends up sitting at the bottom so it's not properly mixed in, but they sure do use a boatload of PB. Cheese curds were smaller than I expected, pretty small in size and in quantity. But they taste like cheese curds, no complaint there read more

Really excited about a place that looks like an independent restaurant. I got a regular size burger and it was smaller than the slice of onion on it. It looked more like an onion burger. The fries taste like weeks old grease. All for $7 and some change. Disgusting. read more

I was looking forward to a Cook-Out experience on a cold November day; let 's just say I was extremely disappointed. I will start with the one good thing I experienced was the corn day, it was delicious. Now the rest, they were out of Cheerwine, no soda, no float...nothing. The hamburger was terrible no flavor, I can cook a better burger that is frozen with ice crystals, than the one I was served. The chili was inedible, it tasted like burned, overcooked canned chili from a discount store. Restaurant was clean, service was ok, prices were low; but that may be why food quality was bad. Will not return and do not recommend. read more

Good stuff. B wanted to try this place out and so here we are. Plenty of parking is available. There is a Drive-Thru as well. Upon entering, we were welcomed by the delicious smell of charcoal flamed burgers. Yum! Plenty of indoor seating is available. Restrooms are clean enough. Took us some time to go through their menu, it is quite extensive. The cashier was incredibly friendly, helpful, and patient. In no time, our box of goodies was ready. The flavors were all there, nothing was overly salty or greasy. B's cheeseburger was well prepared. His onion rings and chicken nuggets were good too. My cheeseburger was quite pink in the middle. Not all that appetizing. The corn dog and fries were on point. We are big fans of their milkshakes. They were creamy and not overly sweet. Would definitely come back, just for that! I'm glad we got a chance to try it out. read more

I ordered Cook Out via drive-through recently. I think I went during off-peak hours because there wasn't a line when I arrived. I ordered quarter lb burgers and milkshakes to go and was surprised at how cheap and fast my order was prepared from the time I ordered until I pulled up at the payment window. I wasn't expecting much for fast food, but the food we had was worse than what I expected. The burger looked very sloppy, and the milkshake was too icy. The service was okay - I could barely hear the person taking the order because the speaker system wasn't great, and the person that gave me my order was in a hurry to get rid of me. read more

Food was warm and I asked for hot fries! Corndog was just warm. Hush puppies ok. Okra was the best part of this non food event. The smell of grilled meat seemed promising until the reality of the food arrived. Looked like grilled meat from frozen patties. Service and ambience is generically missing. The dystopian black, gray white gave me time to ponder my choices. They got my coke right. I have no plans of driving over here for this ever again. A lot of hush puppies but they had no vinegar. More puppies than cold fries. I tried but...pass. The counter needs to be organized better for orders and pickups. read more

I was expecting the "best deal in town," but for $11 for a tray because I requested the hotdogs be the cookout style hotdogs and with 4 onion rings, and a really sad looking "bacon wrap" which was a tortilla with a strip of iceberg lettuce and bacon I was very much disappointed. I will say their sauces are pretty good. The ice tea was exceptionally sweet as well. I was told that I should have ordered their burgers, so I will be back to give it another try. But for now, the hype is just that - hype. read more

Terrible place DO NOT EAT THIS CRAP. You will be sick the rest of the day like I was. I've never been here and wanted to give them a try. Big mistake, did not know what this shit was in the box, all employees are probably just outside the legal employment age. And the food was nasty tasting ( coleslaw had a formaldehyde aftertaste) and nothing even close to the menu pictures. And yes, I do know restaurant menu pictures are not true depictions of what you actually get. I threw most of it away and up. read more

Nothing insane, but it's the late night craving fulfiller. It's really just a nostalgic experience for me from undergrad lol. I feel like there's constantly a line, even in broad daylight (which is beyond me) - but for the most part, they work very quickly! Haven't been inside, but given it's new it looks very clean and well-kept. read more

After hearing rave reviews online, my husband and I decided to check out Cook Out while we were nearby. This visit was our first time eating at a Cook Out. The drive through was packed on Saturday at 5pm. There were plenty of staff inside and it was quick and easy to order and get our food. We both ordered the tray combo, between us we ordered the following sides: cheese curds, hush puppies, and walking taco. The cheese curds and hush puppies were bomb! I also tried a cheerwine float. The "ice cream" tasted off to me, it wasn't very creamy and I don't think I would order it again. In all, we both liked it but wished there was more food in the combo. Everything was good but it wouldn't be worth going out of our way to eat there again. read more

Got my soggy burger ridiculously fast, totally wrong. They tried a second time and it was wrong again and a total mess, fell apart. Place is miserable, not like North Carolina. Never go here! read more

Best bang for your buck, burger deal in the area. If you get the tray, get the double burger (add tomato, lettuce, grilled onion, Mayo, and ketchup) and for the two sides, get fries and a chicken wrap. For the drink, choose a milkshake. Enjoy the food and thank me later. I love the burger cause it doesn't taste overly greasy, is cooked fresh, and you can customize it. The sides are great portions too (fries and onion rings taste great). I've had the corn dog before and liked it too. Just be wary that if you're doing drive thru, it's gonna be a minimum of 15-20 min wait. But if you park and go inside, it's super fast. But parking might be tough since it's so popular right now. Anyways, I highly recommend checking it out. read more

Tried Cook Out for the first time. Service was very quick. Food was very plentiful. I tried a junior hamburger with fries, hush puppies and coke. Hamburger was good but not great - not a lot of flavor. Fries were hot but didn't have any seasoning. Hush puppies were ok. Inside was clean with an industrial look. Overall, great place if you are looking for large quantities of food in a clean environment. read more

I went to cookout with my husband over the weekend. The restaurant had a good number of people in it. The staff was extremely helpful and nice. I ordered a burger with a corn dog and coleslaw. The burger did taste like it was right off a grill. The coleslaw tasted like a lighter version of Popeyes coleslaw, more vinegary and sweet. My husband had a double burger with hush puppies and a corn dog. He enjoyed his food and also thought the burger tasted like one right off a backyard grill. He also has a peach milkshake, which he also enjoyed. Overall, definitely good food for the price. We definitely will stop back by when we are in Manassas looking for a quick bite to eat. read more

I moved out of Manassas right when this Cookout opened for business, so I didn't have a chance to try it. I lived in Nashville for 2 years and gave it a shot there. Really really enjoyed it. Just moved back to Northern Virginia a few months ago and gave it a try today. Once again was not disappointed and will definitely be coming back. The landscaping was beautiful, as the building was completely surrounded by blooming roses. I ordered the standard hamburger and hot dog combo, and I enjoyed both. I got the cheese bites as a side, and I really liked them, too. The guy who took my order in the drive-thru was the same guy who took my credit card, and he was super friendly, As we know that makes a huge difference. I would definitely recommend this place and will be back again soon! read more

Great service and great food!! Would recommend the portion sizes are also amazing! It's great!!!

The last two times I've stop here the same guy taking the order (Elvis) was the name on the receipt. He is very polite, patient and helpful. Working in fast food industry isn't easy but he really enjoys it and it showed. May God bless this young man in all he does. The good and prices are great! Food is always hot and delicious. The drive through is what I use and it's great except the hole near the pickup window be careful when you pull up to get your food. read more

Eating lunch at Cook Out. Hubby and I got a ton of food for under $20 including a gigantic iced tea. I'm not saying you should make a regular diet of this food but bang for the buck, it is a VERY reasonably priced fast food joint. They should really add a salad to their choices so just 4 stars. Not sure why this place isn't packed! read more

Was definitely looking forward to a bacon cheeseburger last night! My burger wasn't prepared correctly. For some reason it was covered in cheese and only onions...not sure how they forgot my lettuce, tomato, pickles and little mayo. They did fix it when my husband returned in for my correct burger but it seemed as though they also forgot the seasonings for my burger lol. My fries were old fries as well and the hush puppies. Maybe it was just a bad night... The restaurant seemed pretty new...very clean...fully staffed... read more
