The chicken and cheese quesadilla I ordered had NO CHICKEN OR CHEESE. Just a flour tortilla shell. Y'all are a poor excuse.

Really good food. I had a great meal with perfect service. I would recommend this restaurant to the public.

I'm sorry but no! This was the second time they literally missed my order completely. First time they gave me a burger instead of tenders. This time was just wrong. Seems as if they were being stingy with the tenders, literally can tell they were split after cooked. Then I asked for a corn dog and got a hot dog but the size is beyond me like wow! Never seen a hot dog like this

Since I am a person from the West Coast, I was truly excited to explore different eateries in Memphis, TN. I decided to try the Cook Out because there was always a line when I've passed by. I can understand why. Their food is simply delicious and affordable. I tried the Chili Cheese Fries and Chili Hot Dog. They were both on point. My mother tried the Banana Pudding Shake and the quesadillas. She said they were tasty, too. Overall, it's great place to go when you're on a budget.

This is from the location on Union Ave. on Tuesday afternoon.

I had a friend in town and we were looking for an inexpensive lunch locale when I thought of Cook-out. Let me say we were not disappointed. My bbq plate was on point. He was satisfied with his chicken sandwich plate but sorry no pics. Lol Thank you.

You get a lot for your money here.

My first time here, but my third Cookout to try. Wow, you can't miss this place can you? It sticks out like a sore thumb! My meal here was perfect for what it was and service was fine. No problems on this visit. As I've said before, I judge this for what it is, fast food. I don't judge it the same way I do a restaurant that charges twice the amount. You get two sides here. Double burger, two sides, drink, and tax, for $6 and I still got a few cents back! How do they do it for these 1980's prices and still make it good? I actually like these burgers, keeping in mind it is fast food, and considering the price. It won't make my list of favorite burgers, but it would be the top of my list of $4 burgers. I'd be happy paying $10 for this meal, but $6 is just unheard of. And I love the hand washing sink at the counter!

Just nasty. BLT

Straight-up comfort food perfection. Everything on this plate was --crispy bacon, perfectly cooked…read moreeggs, hash browns with that just-right crunch, and the biscuits & gravy? Elite. Absolute main-character energy. Portions were generous, flavors were on point, and nothing felt rushed or sloppy. On top of that, the service was top-tier--friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. This is the kind of breakfast that fixes your mood and makes you plan your next visit before you even leave. 10/10, would demolish again

Thankfully, right…read morewhen I walked in, someone pointed me in the right direction and said, "If you're trying to decide, go with the Redheaded Stepchild." I took the advice, and I'm really glad I did. It was fantastic--stacked with pulled pork, smoked sausage, and beef brisket, all topped with slaw and BBQ sauce on a bun. I also tried a bite of the barbecue bologna, which is a thick-cut slice served on white bread, and that didn't disappoint either. Inside gets pretty smoky, so you'll probably prefer sitting outside. Luckily, there are plenty of picnic tables and seating areas to choose from. I didn't catch the name of the guy who helped me, but he was friendly, energetic, and made the whole experience even better. Overall, a really enjoyable visit.

Surprisingly good food. They got me in with a billboard that was advertising the "Original Lemon…read morePepper Wet Wings". I had never heard of that, and was immediately intrigued. This building has had many years of abuse. It's a former Burger King, then it was a Pirtles for many years after that. BK built across the street because they were over it, Pirtles came and left because the building was in such bad shape. AD said we don't care!! Paint that bitch and let's goooooooo! Fried rice and chicken wings is the combo that I never knew that I needed in my life but I am here for it now. Lemon Pepper Wet is a killer flavor and I've liked all the food I have gotten here. Pro tip.... Go when it's cooler outside or roll through the Drive Thru because it's only 3 degrees less than outside temp in this place. Hot ass hell! '24 - 55/100

They have great lunch options and specials that isn't too costly. I get the same thing when I go which is the Ham & Turkey sub with the wings. The wing sauce is really good. They are party style and you get five as a part of the combo. The sub sandwich is really delicious. Whatever bread they have is also so soft and buttery. The meat and vegetables are always fresh and plentiful. The service is pretty quick as well and the drive thru staff are always friendly and courteous. All that to say....I will definitely be back!
