a hot dog and french fries in a styrofoam container
Shari C.

If you love going to the DMV, then you will LOVE coming to eat at Cook Out. Our hungry souls detoured here after stopping by another fast food chain which was closed. This was the only place in the vicinity that was open when we arrived and decided to give this local spot a try. PROS - The cook out trays. I got the jr tray where you can mix and match items (a main, 2 sides, and a drink) all for less than $6. Some of the sides are unique like a chicken wrap, chicken nuggets or a quesadilla - They are known for their shakes and have over 35 flavors to choose from. Didn't get to try them but they looked good. Whether they had all the flavors available is another story... - Can't beat the price CONS - The wait is insane where the drive thru line extended out to the main road. There were only 2 employees working the drive thru line for over 20+ cars and I think from the time we entered to the time we exited with our food, it was almost 40 minutes. - Food is very mediocre. My hot dog was stale and burnt. The sides were just ok. Unless you're desperate or have a lot of time to burn, I'd avoid this location.

ima be real I like cook out but it's definitely that 2am post club kinda place yknow. The quesadilla lacked cheese and meat but the chicken nuggets, fries & ranch were chefs kiss. Also the oreo milkshake is tasty, so thickkkkkk. also it's good af in general for the price I got all this for under $10

I ordered an 2Hot dog tray with Cajun fries and coleslaw as my two sides this is what I got as a side of coleslaw... this is a rip off for 15$

The worst fast food I've had this year. Heck it's the worst fast food I've eaten since I can remember. It's the cheapskate version of Wendy's. I'm giving them two stars only because the milkshake was worth the stomach space. On the last night of my Airbnb stay in Mount Pleasant there was a kerfuffle with dinner. A cheese malfunction which ruined dinner and had to be trashed. We're talking moldy cheese which could have ruined our travel plans of the following day. So... what to do when you're on vacation and dinner is spoiled? Drink more! Good thing the Cook out was a few blocks from our rental. It was a cheap Uber ride to/from. It was late in Mount Pleasant and nothing is open at 2 am, well except the Cook out. So.. we hit it. Looking at their menu, it's as if they have a wealth of food and want to throw it at you, cheaply. The menu is inexpensive and when ordering a combo instead of giving you one side, they want to give you two. And the second can have a protein included if you wish. ie chicken nuggets, a corndog or insert protein quesadilla. Combination platters are inexpensive in comparison to say Mcdonalds or in fact, Wendy's. The three of us ordered a bonanza of foods. Spicy chicken sandwich platters, a double cheeseburger, some other junk and a couple milkshakes to wash it down. Final verdict? I thought it was all disgusting. I could not finish my chicken sandwich. The meat did not sing of quality and the crispy fried patty was heavily salted. The look of it once unwrapped was not appetizing. The fries were definitely the frozen variety and tasted like they had been reheated from earlier in the day. BLECH! All I could stomach was the milkshake which was utterly divine. I asked my nephew to ask if they could make me a "chocolate mint", instead he ordered me a mint chocolate chip. What's the difference you ask? A half and half rather than all one flavor. My cousin and nephew thought the food was passable. We had spent the late night hours soaking in a hot tub and were feverishly hungry. I had a KIND bar stowed away in my luggage, it did the job the Cook out couldn't. Looking at their website for the first time today I'm realizing that they make fresh never frozen hamburgers! I could have had that instead! Why isn't that advertised on their menu... Arrrggghhh!

I got food to go, and via drive thru, the "Box combo". It has the following: 4 chicken fingers, 1 cane sauce, crinkle cut fries, Texas toast, coleslaw, and a drink. The total cost is $11.49 plus tax. I got an extra cane sauce, which was a little over thirty cents added onto my bill. The service was friendly and efficient. The food was fresh from the fryer. It was piping hot. The chicken fingers and sauce were delicious. I definitely would order again. The Texas toast was good too. Heads up, it is not a full piece of toast more like a half. The fries were classic crinkle cut fries. They definitely tasted good dunked in the sauce. The only item I would not order again is the coleslaw. It was very under seasoned. I enjoy the simplicity of the menu. There is something to be said for choosing a few items and doing them well. Go give Raising Cane's a try and grab some chicken fingers!

I will say this location was very well kept, the bathroom was also very clean. The service was friendly and fast. The chicken was hot and the coleslaw was flavorful. The sweet tea was decent. It's not a huge location, so the parking lot can be tight; but there's ample parking available.

In my opinion, nobody rivals that Peruvian spice rub! But equally important, the quality and flavors are always consistent at Mario's. And for what they do, they're pretty quick. I even had them cater a birthday party a while ago and everyone was raving about their chicken. Speaking of catering, I also know people that choose them on the regular for game day takeout. But regardless, if you're getting catered food or a quick bite during your lunch break, you can't go wrong with Mario's.

Located right next to the brand new Trader Joe's, I had no idea its been here for years (otherwise I would have been in much, much sooner ; ) Upon walking up there are several tables for outdoor dinning, which is great when the weather is nice or you're coming back from the beach. Inside offers plenty of causal seating and space. Their menu consists of several different meal combos, I had a single serving meal made up of two pieces of chicken, green bean (delicious!) and Yuka fries served with their signature sauces - try both if you like something different. Staff was super friendly and helpful! Would definitely recommend and will be back again soon! Guten Appetit!

KAIRO'S MEDITERRANEAN - FIVE STARS & THREE THUMBS UP!…read more I honestly cannot believe my wife and I have been coming to Kairo's Mediterranean for several years and I've never written them a proper review. So this one is LONG overdue! This has easily become one of our favorite places to eat. We probably come here twice a week, and there's a reason we keep coming back. THE FOOD IS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! Everything tastes incredibly fresh, authentic and flavorful, and it's one of those places where you can eat a big meal and still feel like you ate something healthy. And I have to specifically mention the tzatziki. My wife and I have traveled throughout Greece and visited several of the Greek islands, so we've had the real thing plenty of times. It can actually be surprisingly difficult to find tzatziki back home that tastes the way it does in Greece. Kairo's absolutely nails it. It's fresh, creamy, authentic and delicious. Honestly, everything we've tried here is packed with flavor. The best way I can describe walking out of Kairo's is this: You have a circus in your mouth! There are just so many different flavors going on, and somehow they all work perfectly together. GREAT PORTIONS WITHOUT CRAZY PRICES Another thing I really appreciate about Kairo's is the value. Eating out has gotten expensive just about everywhere, but you can still come here and get a fantastic meal without spending a fortune. We regularly get a huge platter with fries, drinks and tzatziki, and the value is incredible. You can easily have a great meal here for roughly $10-$12 per person, depending on what you order. They also have a surprisingly large selection of drinks, which is another nice touch. But as good as the food is, there's something even better... THE PEOPLE & THE SERVICE! For me, great service can completely change a restaurant experience, and the team at Kairo's is absolutely spectacular. They've had many of the same people working here for years, which says a lot by itself. Everyone is friendly, polite and welcoming, and you can tell the team genuinely gets along and enjoys working together. And I have to give a special shout-out to the manager, Griffin. This guy is AWESOME. He knows us by name, remembers what we order and takes care of us every single time we walk through the door. That kind of personal service is becoming harder and harder to find. Griffin and his team don't make you feel like another customer walking through the line -- they make you feel like family. The restaurant is also always immaculate. Every time we're there, somebody is cleaning, wiping things down or making sure everything looks right. The whole place is consistently spotless. After several years and probably more meals here than I could possibly count, Kairo's continues to deliver every single time. Authentic Mediterranean flavors Fresh, delicious food Fantastic tzatziki Huge portions Excellent prices Tons of drink choices Spotlessly clean Incredible staff Outstanding management And most importantly -- CONSISTENCY! If you love Mediterranean food and haven't tried Kairo's yet, put it on your list. This isn't just somewhere we occasionally stop for lunch or dinner anymore. It has become one of our regular places -- and one of our absolute favorites. FIVE STARS AND THREE THUMBS UP FROM US! Keep doing exactly what you're doing, Griffin and the entire Kairo's team. You guys have created something special, and we'll definitely keep coming back!

As an extreme Cava lover, I never thought a bowl-centered fast food place would be better than…read morethat, but I stand corrected, because Kairos has become my absolute favorite place to get a bowl. I usually just make my own bowl based off of my mood. It's always good and the ingredients are always fresh and flavorful. The MP location was a little bit dirty at the time I was there, but they were also busy so they might not have had a minute to wipe down tables. The service is pretty reliable. Not to compare too much but I've had some issues with the service at Cava recently, so Kairos is winning in my book!

The last two times I've ordered pita chips and hummus through the app, the online ordering process felt completely pointless. Both times, my order was marked with an estimated pickup time, but it wasn't actually ready until more than 10 minutes after that. While I was waiting, I watched employees serve 15+ people who came through the regular line after I had already placed and paid for my order. I even saw pita chips being given to customers in line while I was still waiting for the chips I had ordered earlier. It just doesn't seem like online orders are being prioritized or managed efficiently. On top of that, both orders of pita chips were so heavily seasoned and salty that I couldn't finish them. I've had the pita chips here many times over the years and never had this issue before, but the last two visits have been consistent enough that it feels worth mentioning. As a college student, eating out is something I have to budget for and is a treat I look forward to. When the food isn't edible because it's overly salty and the pickup process takes significantly longer than expected, it feels like a waste of money. I know everyone has off days, and I've had plenty of positive experiences at this location in the past. However, because this has happened twice in a row, I'll definitely be more hesitant about ordering here in the future.
