Wanting a late night dessert, I was told about the Cook Out, and how they have an extensive shake menu. We ordered through the drive thru, and the staff was a little impatient through the intercom, but at the window they were nice I only went through the drive through, so, I can't speak to the ambiance of the restaurant, but I will say that the menu (for shakes) is lengthy, and it would be nice if they showed this list prior to the spot were you ordered your food so you would have time to make a decision Some tips: While it was tasty, I might avoid the Banana Pudding shake. Maybe it was because it was later in the evening, but they were trying to peel a frozen banana at the window and then gave up. Only to later use a fully green banana, and because of that a strong not quite ripe banana flavor over powered the rest of the ingredients Cheers! read more

Food: It's a freshly cooked burger and fries, just like you would do at home. Nothing amazing, nothing bad. Just regular burger. Milkshake was great. Menu: The menu has many options, but it's a but confusing, especially for first-timers. Suggestion would be to pair it down and simplify the options. The counter worker got a little frustrated at me it seemed. But that's OK. Value: Value for the money is great. Very reasonably priced for what you get. Cleanliness: Fine and nothing to note negatively. I would recommend having a real tea dispenser instead of a hand poured pitcher at the drink station. Bathroom was clean. Parking: Fine Friendliness: Fine - nothing of note. Ordering process was a little chaotic. I will give it another try read more

Clean restaurant. Delicious burgers, fries and shakes! Loved the Christian music playing in the restaurant.

Good service, the people were nice. The portions are good. Although the location of it was a bit hard to access at first.

Delicious burgers, not some skinny press patty. Even with crowd, fast service, and wonderful Christian music. Thanks for making our stop on the way back to Missouri a great one. read more

Not enough condiments on our burgers but my mouth was all set for the Cajun fries to introduce my sister (who had never been here) but they turned out to be a franchise location and said they didn't serve the seasoned Cajun fries read more

Cook Out - Inside - American Near Me - Meridian, Mississippi

Desiring a hot dog while traveling, I figured I'd give this place a try since I've seen them around. After ordering I found out they do not accept American Express, wish I would've known. Took a long time to get my order. The onion rings were super greasy and inedible. The hotdogs were completely dried out in which I couldn't even finish them. Never again. read more

Almost didn't stop here on our way through because of the stars but we did and I got the charbroiled burger. It was delicious. The service was good and you can't beat the price! read more

Absolutely the worst experience at a cook out!!! I made two trips, my first and last. The service was so bad it would make the Devil blush. I will never be back to this place again. read more

genuinely, the worst food place i've ever been to. they're rude, the food is sloppy, the wait is ridiculous, i could name so many things. they have literally left me at the window for 20 minutes just for a milkshake and NO ONE came to greet me, check on me, take my money, NOTHING. they never get my order right and never give me the sauce i ask for. if you're traveling to meridian or live in meridian, i recommend not going to this place. cookout is one of my favorite fast food places but the staff here are awful and ridiculous so unfortunately i have to choose to miss out on the great food and prices. read more

Okay, traveling through MS... I usually support local hamburger places. But the large double hamburger was closer to a small slider, the onion rings equally terrible, and the fried cheese was less than average at best. When you spend $11 for food, should be above average. Someone needs to get to work and improve this place. People were nice though. read more

Lunch time on a road trip! Instead of hitting up one of the national chains, opted to try something different and Cook Out was it. The menu is definitely confusing, well worth checking out their website before hitting the drive thru, but on a road trip. Ordered burgers with two sides - fries and nuggets for one, fries and a corn dog for the other. There were plenty of fries to share (save room for the shake), one kid got the nuggets and the other the corn dog. Nuggets were total trash, unless you are in the market for some disposable hockey pucks, but the corn dog, fries, and burger were good. Shakes were the standout - with 40 to chose from, another reason to peruse the online menu to decide or try the Oreo Mint which was my favorite out of our 4. Would definitely stop again, milkshake was the perfect way to pass a bunch of miles on a long trip. read more

Ordered at the drive through and only received about 1/4 of what we paid for. Line was almost wrapped around the building and doors were locked so no luck getting the rest. Should've paid attention to the reviews beforehand. read more

Ordered two trays Saturday night around 2am, both trays were supposed to have cajun fries but one tray was missing the fries!! We didn't notice till we got home and they were closed by then! But judging by their attitudes, we probably would have had a hassle about it. As expected with most restaurants now days. We were the only ones in line when we pulled up so it wasn't busy, I don't see how they could completely forget the side on the tray!! Wouldn't recommend this place, you'll end up with wasted money! read more

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. Food was okay but the service was awful and we did not get everything we ordered. We're missing Cajun fries which was half of my husbands order. Asked for extra cook out sauce and received none. And the slaw cup had maybe 2 oz of slaw was not even half way full. We were also the only people in the drive through, so it wasn't like it was a busy mistake, they just genuinely don't care. After looking over other reviews and then experiencing this on my own, It is very clear this establishment does not care at all what people think and only care about your money. Do not waste your time, do not waste your money. Go somewhere else. read more

Been a year since I first ate at a Cook Out and I still enjoy it and their service is fairly quick. I believe the prices have inched up a bit though, use to be 5.79 but now it's 6.20 for a tray. read more

Growing up going to Cookout in the Carolinas this one (Meridian, MS) is a disappointment. Milkshakes filled up only half way and not mixed. Burgers were burnt. No chili or corn dogs "because they didn't want to make more." Workers obviously don't care about the quality. Cookout should be ashamed for this location. read more

Literally waited 20 minutes in like for this excuse of a chicken quesadilla.. I come through here several times a week for lunch and that crew does great but i will never come back at night. i paid 8$ for a tortilla.... read more

Cook Out - This is what they call a chicken quesadilla? are you serious? - American Near Me - Meridian, Mississippi

For fast food, this place is great. The food is good and the prices are cheap. They offer 44 choices of milkshakes. The staff was very friendly and went out of their way to be helpful. The bathrooms were clean and the restaurant itself was clean inside and out. The onion rings were especially good. They use real onions and not cut up pieces. read more

Rude ass workers. Purposely ignored me, also put ketchup on my burger but wouldnt give us some in a cup. Could not sprinkle cajun on my chicken, and also burned a burger. Food came out in 3 waves and 2 out of the 3 waves were cold. read more

Very rude employees 90% of the time. Upsides are their hours and good prices. It's very cheap and you leave happy other than feeling unappreciated by the employees. All cook outs don't have rude employees obviously.. but this one location does for sure... read more

Don't even bother ordering the 'extras' on your burger (cheese, tomato, etc). You ain't getting it, even if you pay. Expect some attitude from the gal at the window too. read more

Went to get lunch today, was rushed at the window and then realized when I got back to work they left half my lunch order was left out.

The first time I visited this restaurant it was in anWord amazing. The second time, just now, frustrating to be kind. I ordered at the drive through and felt as though it was a rushed experience and after completing my order pulled forward and paid. I ordered a double burger tray sweet tea and chocolate malt. Was handed one burger and tea. I commented that I had ordered the tray The lady at the window turned to the lady with the mic, who took the order and the resolution I was offered was this "well he aint send dat". OMG! I don't know which frustrates me more, the slaughter of the English language, the inaccuracy of the order or the pitiful resolution offered by the employee. I asked for my shake and was handed shake, tea, one straw and Zero napkins. Well, trust me, after 27 years in the retail business I can tell you that employees like that will ensure the demise of your business. No matter how good your food is, if the atmosphere and interaction is below sub standard, you can't compete. Wish I would have at least been offered to pay the difference and get what I ordered but all I got was a response that it was all my fault. No thank you, I will take my money elsewhere. read more

First time having cookout, between price, quality, and quantity I'd give it 3 stars. The food can be best described as a better Burger King. There wasn't anything that made the food stand out as amazing. read more

Was DISGUSTING!! Tables were ALL dirty and not cleaned off... The had the drinks mixed up in the drink machines and didn't even make my but correctly. I even heard a family complaining that the cashier was arguing with her because she didn't give her any sauce that she asked for but accused her of lying horrible read more

I love this place. It is always packed but that's for a good reason. The food is really good and the people that work there have always been so nice and funny. And it's cheap. read more

W3 ate there the other day and though drive thru was wrapped around to the street and inside was packed we got our food in a fast manner and it was hot fresh and delicious. We spent 11 dollars and some change for the 2 of us to eat. I highly recommend this place its good fast food and affordable with a smile. read more

Cook Out - delicious - American Near Me - Meridian, Mississippi

Make sure you know what you want before going through the drive thru. I have been wanting to try the cookout for a while so I decided to go through the drive thru on my way home. Rolled up to the menu board which is very confusing. It's like a wall of text. I ordered my wife's food and "Hope" read it back faster than any person I have ever heard speak I could hardly understand her and it was incorrect. No problem, I corrected it. And went to order my meal and before I could get out hamburger the cashier cut me off with a total and prompted me to drive around. I said one second I need one more order. "k whatchu want?" Getting aggravated but keeping my cool I say I would like a hamburger with.... then I get cut off again with a total and prompted to drive up again! "NO I'm not done I will tell you when my order is complete give me one second I'm trying to find your sides on this wall of text of a menu" I was responded with a "k whatchu want" no help from her I just got double fries out of frustration and said ok I'm done and pulled up. The cashier was so rude wouldn't look me in the eye slamming the window shut basically throwing my order through the window to get me gone. I was going to ask for ketchup and sauce and when I opened my mouth she would slam the window and ignore me. Finally had to wave to another staff with the cashier standing right there ignoring me to get my sauce so I could leave. I get it it's fast food I don't expect much but geez it was so ridiculous. One employee can tank a business and I hope this gets addressed because the food was pretty decent. read more

If you are looking for a cheap but good meal well here's the place to be ! I don't usually do reviews but since the cashier,Kalexus, was so friendly to me and the food was great what the heck. She walked me through the menu and was very patient with my mama. My mama stated "when I come back next time I want you to serve me". Anywho the sweet tea is to die for as well. read more

Cashier Brianna can't hear nothing. She fucked my other up. I ordered a plate and one of my side was totally fucked up. I had to throw it away and waste money and I'm not even full now. When you order a chicken wrap and says honey mustard they will give you ranch instead and if you hate ranch you're fucked. I WILL NEVER GO BACK THERE. read more

Second time at Cookout. First time, could barely get a seat because too many drug dealers using the booths to conduct their business. Second time, opted to do drive thru. I was the only car. I'm gluten-free (which Cookout can handle) so ordered grilled chicken (no bun) with BBQ sauce and a side of coleslaw. Clerk could NOT figure out how to ring this up. She didn't speak for so long I had to ask if she was still there. I had to repeat what I wanted several times when she finally confirmed my order then asked, "What 2 sides do you want?" I told her, "Just coleslaw." She replied, "You want MORE coleslaw?!" "No, just the one. Nothing else ... grilled chicken, no bun, one side of coleslaw." She finally had me drive forward. By now there were 3 cars behind me in line & they were looking impatient. I got to the window & asked the person taking money (not the clerk I had talking to) to confirm that the chicken is grilled, not breaded. She gave me a weird look and said, "You're getting pulled pork." WTF?!?! I got a scoop of pulled pork in a huge to-go container. In a separate bag they had tossed a side of coleslaw which was upside down so the dressing was oozing out of the lid and saturating the bag. As an after thought they gave me napkins and I had to ask for a fork. I'd love Cookout but they simply can't get their act together. read more
