Micah and I were running some errands today and he was hungry all of a sudden...what's new? The moment you leave the house with a fridge stuffed with food choices, your kid says, "Hey Dad, I'm hungry." Anyway, I didn't want fast food...I hate it! But Micah was in the mood for a chicken sandwich, so as we were heading towards our destination we saw Cook Out and stopped to get him a quick bite to eat. For kiddos especially, this place is awesome. The have great combo packs, milkshakes, and aren't just limited to burgers and fries. They have quesadillas, corn dogs, burgers, chicken, etc. Needless to say, he was very pleased with his meal. He really likes this place. And I like the inexpensive prices and value. read more

Cook Out - I'm here at 3:40. They say they are closed when it says they are open online. The hours are wrong online. Bullshit. This place is bullshit. - Burgers Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

The image you see as cookout's restaurant photo is from my past review. Cookout corporate tries to take down negative reviews. This is the worst cookout in Murfreesboro. Employees at the drive through sound more baked than a deep fried chicken tender. Food is always burnt or dried out. (See other reviews) they have an impressive amount of care and tenderness that goes into the food! Honestly the best cookout in the world! read more

food quality is decent for what it is but service is slow, rude and brain dead. For the price it's easy and close by but even when no one is in line you have to respect yourself 5 times and talk super slow or else they don't understand you. Some servers are fine but most are lazy and shouldn't be employed read more

FAST FOOD - Got the tray deal with a burger, fries and cajun chicken wrap Service was FAST IT was last a night and we hit the drive thur. The young lady at the window was sweet and funny. a good vibe read more

I ordered a regular cheeseburger and fries and it was just what I needed. Fresh and good. I was acknowledged while standing at the counter, waiting to be served. A young lady advised me that someone would be right there to assist me. I'm satisfied with the food and the service and will be back read more

Cook Out - The inside; I forgot to take a picture of my food, before I ate - Burgers Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

My experience with cookout was very terrible The fact a foreign male openly talking about my vehicle and cursed in my face not knowing that I been through a serious situation after surgery having to write a victim statement because of my daughter. Thaey don't know what people going throug. I also called corporate the man I spoke with didn't really seem like he cared. He didn't even ask for my number I asked him are you going to ask for my number. I want never go back to cook out in Murfreesboro of memorial blvd. Hopefully they grow up read more

They have the best burgers and Cajun fries always good food when I go. Always hot and fresh

I used to come quite often and stopped because of the customer service and quality of this location. HOWEVER, I started going to this location again and they have definitely improved their quality as well as their customer service! It was a great experience and the food was great. read more

Loved the Middle Tennessee State theme, food was outstanding for lunch just before we flew out of Nashville. Got the reasonably complicated order right, and this was a really good burger, usually the burgers here are middle of the road and the sides are the stars. This time the burger was the best thing. Nice. It may be a little while before I get to go back to Cookout, so thanks to this location for giving me happy thoughts! read more

Food and service are usually good, but there's one employee there that always has a bad attitude and bad customer service. I couldn't figure out his Mae but he's a heavier set, college looking guy on the cash register. read more

First time at this restaurant chain. We got the food to go. The only reason why I'm not giving this restaurant one star is because my daughter liked her pulled pork. The burger patties were super small and over cooked. The fries were under-seasoned and the hush puppies were tasteless. We won't be back. read more

Cook Out - What a joke - Burgers Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

The worst cookout I have been through. The customer service was horrible. We only got two milk shakes, she didn't give us straws only spoons. Then the one milk shake was covered in ice cream and we had to wipe and ask for more napkins, the second milk shake had a hole in the cup and I gave it back to her and she just put it in another cup and rudely handed it back to me. The peppermint milk shake doesn't even taste like peppermint it tastes like vanilla ice cream. Not going back to this cookout. read more

Across from the WalMart on Rutherford, this location is in an area that sees heavy traffic during weekdays and when MTSU is in session. The restaurant is easy to see, just turn in when you see Starbucks or Cook Out if you are coming from the south. The burgers really do taste like you went to a friends house and had a burger that they cooked on their grill. Not fancy but satisfying. The slaw is straight out of a famous fried chicken chain that is know for a founder that likes wearing white suits. The beans are better left behind the counter as they were very salty. I can get behind the shakes, though. The flavor selection is large and my peanut butter shake was rich and creamy and tasted like they put real peanut butter in it, which I'm hoping they did! Overall, a decent place for a casual meal. Just stay away from those beans! read more

See all

I would give my services last night no stars if I could they got the orders wrong, didn't give us any forks for our walkin tacos, gave us a burger instead of a cheddar chicken, didn't give my boyfriend the right burger he ordered, didn't make the shakes right, and we had to tell them that we were missing a shake before they made the other shake wrong as well I am so disappointed in my service last night that I will NEVER RETURN to this location and a word to the franchise... work on your staff because they were horrible read more

I'd like to start off my saying there is a wonderfully placed Taco Bell nearby. Not only did it take longer than the lifespan of a red winged blackbird to get through that drive through, but it also lacked that blessed cook out quality that I so desperately craved. I asked for light ice in my sprite, but apparently to them, "light" means fill the entire cup up with ice and then add the 2 ounces of liquid. I fear that if I order "heavy" ice they would just place a six pound ice block in my lap and call it a day. I also ordered a regular barbecue sandwich, which did not meet my needs in the sauce department. Sauce is a key element for me because like I always say, "without sauce, we can't enjoy lacrosse." The chicken nuggets were solid though. read more

Got this Corn Dog from here today. Quality control is not up to par. Definitely don't recommend. Wow! read more

Cook Out - Got this Corndog today from Cook Out Burgers. Definitely don't recommend. Wow! - Burgers Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

Food was cold , terrible service , and the drive thru person gave me a hard time , had no choice but to leave it but never coming back

Great price for cheap cafeteria style burgers and fries! Whenever I'm in town, I must stop here! While I was pregnant I would sometimes eat here twice during my stay in Murfreesboro. The burgers are good, always cooked made to order, very fresh, hot, and tasty. I love the cheese fries here. Crinkle fries with actual cheese sauce. None of that sprinkle shredded cheese. The fast food joint itself is very clean inside. I would highly recommend stopping here. read more

Cook Out - Cheese fries - Burgers Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

A previous review commented on how people only post reviews to slam an establishment. Yes, some do. I do not. I try to evaluate every establishment I visit. The food at other Cook Out stores is generally good and it is generally one of my favorite chain restaurants. Not this one. I can't try the food. You see, this place is near where I work. When I take my lunch break, I like to sit down in a restaurant and relax. I can't do that here. There dining room is closed. I believe it has been closed for about 2 years. First it was the pandemic and I was patient. But now, our area is in the low risk category. It seems like every other restaurant chain or independent has opened their dining rooms - except this one. I wonder why. Is it because they can't hire anyone in this labor market? I wonder why no one wants to work here. I wonder what is so bad. I think if it effects the food quality. Open the dining room and I may enjoy this food, but after yet another disappointment of a locked door, I have now stopped even checking. I go across the street or down the street to a place I can sit down and relax, even if it has screaming children. You see, it's not my car that I have to use as a dining room read more

Opening night of a new restaurant. How glamorous! Really though, the place is fairly good, especially considering the price. The selections are what one might call standard American "summertime" fare; burgers, hotdogs, assorted chicken items, and pulled bbq plates. They have a pretty impressive milkshake list as well. The restaurant bills itself as "cooked outdoors style", and I'd have to agree based on what I tried. My burger tasted like something that would game off a grill at a park, or perhaps from the concession shack of a little league game. The veggies on the burger were of higher quality than I expected for the price. There are quite a few side items to choose from, and you're able to pick two for a combo. I also opted for a shake, and it was definitely better than most shakes from fast food joints. The prices are very low as well; with most of the sandwich items being a couple bucks and nearly all of the sides only costing 99 cents. Their combos are slightly over 4 dollars. All in all, it seems a decent alternative to typical nationwide burger chains, especially if you're wanting to spend very little. Opening up right next to several student apartment complexes was probably a brilliant decision on their part, as this is exactly the sort of place I would have loved to have next door during my broke college days. read more

Cook Out - Storefront - Burgers Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

I got the Tray cook out & got double cheddar style burger with fries & chicken nuggets. (See picture below) with a cherry cheese cake shake. This is not my normal type of order in general, however I wanted to not think about calories & just got what sounded go to me. I drank the shake in the way home & realized how a thick greasy substance building up on my straw. Came home & opened up my meal & I literally had three small chicken nuggets & you can see how many fries that I got from the photo. The burger was extremely greasy too. I won't be coming back here. read more

Cook Out - Burgers Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

First off, we pulled to the speaker in the drive thru, the cashier (Zoe) yelled at us telling us to wait a minute. Approximately 5 minutes after silence she proceeded to take our order. Cutting us off after every other word we said yelling saying that she couldn't hear us. Even tho we were speaking at an appropriate volume. She cut us off and very rudely said "we don't have coleslaw" I understand they run out but she was very rude. When we finally got to the window, the "gentleman" who was at the window grabbed the card and shut the window not saying a word. Then proceeded to try and hand us our order one by one without a bag. He then got mad whenever we politely asked if they were out of bags. Over all awful customer service. read more

I just ate till I was full and also got food for my two boys and the total as under $8 and that's including a drink! The prices are amazing and the service was of the quality of chick fil a. This was the first time I've been to this location and it won't be the last! read more

I'm so glad the drive thru is open and man I was hungry. I got the burger tray with everything, onion rings and slaw. It was such a satisfying meal and the cashier Brinley gave me the nicest service. I just wanted to say thanks. read more

Pretty cheap and the wait is fairly short, but the employees almost always have a bad attitude and look miserable. Always check your order too..afternoon shift is bad about leaving out 1 or 2 things, but the night shift people are great. read more

I like this restaurant. It's good food. What I don't like is someone putting half a onion on my burger because they had a bad day. They couldn't even get the box closed with how much they put on there. Now I have a lot of respect for people working in food service as I've worked in a kitchen myself, but what the heck guys? Don't go wasting all that produce on me. read more

Cook Out - a bowl of soup and a sandwich - Burgers Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

BEST burgers at Best price. Simple. Seasoned beef and juicy bacon cheeseburgers. Fries are very good. Chili too salty for me but place is really good. Christian music and John 3:16 on cups is great. read more

We went here on opening weekend and were not impressed. In fact, my wife and I agreed that we would never come back. Well, we did try it again a few months later and it was like a completely different restaurant. Great burgers, spicy chicken sandwich is good. We like all the options for sides because you don't have to always get French fries. And the peanut butter milkshake is the best. We have lunch there about once a week now and are never disappointed. Still giving 5 stars because I figure the opening weekend is not the best time to judge a place on. read more

I rate it a 5 because it exceeds all expectations. I have it a 4 because the fries looked good but not amazing. I got a "huge" burger steak-style with cheese, onion rings and a fudge-caramel shake. The burger comes out piping hot, juicy and at least 2 inches thick. The onion rings are crunchy, thick, and plentiful. The shake is premium, very thick and has real vanilla. and VERY reasonably-priced. Beats every chain hands-down. You can easily have a GREAT meal for $6. Kids and grandparents and in-between will like it. Spacious and clean and nice decor. read more

The burgers definitely taste like they are right off of the grill. I would give the burgers a 4/5 stars because they're not quite as amazing as you could make at home right off of your own grill, but that is definitely expected as a fast food joint. The quality of the food compared to other burger joint is amazing! The price is even more amazing. If you're looking for a cheap and yummy milkshake, they're your place. They have SO many flavors and choices. I mean...cheer wine is a soda on their menu! That's pretty amazing in it's self. The co-workers have been nothing but friendly. :) Yummy! read more

The inside is still closed and they claim it's due to covid. Other Cookouts are open in the inside, so that means they're either understaffed, lazy, or just want to have as few employees on as possible to save money. read more

Burgers taste like cooked in the back yard. Portions are a bit on the small side but very well worth the money. My family of four walked out of there reasonably full for 24 bucks. I cant even take them to mcdonalds for that and get that kind of quality. Hubby fell in love with the strawberry cheesecake milkshake. I seriously thought he was going to make me turn around and go get another one when he was done with it. Kids loved it. I will probably get it to go the next time because they were fairly busy and we had to wait for a table to come available to sit down. They are open until like 4 am on the weekends. Pretty cool! People were friendly too read more

I have been to Cookout several times. Always very tasty selections , up to taste and far exceeding the "Specialty" (read, OVER PRICED") new eateries in the 'Boro. My only objection is the VOLUME of the announcement to pick up you order when it's ready. Yes, I know, I'm being picky). Great people, they LISTEN when the fountain drink station needs attention at all times. The building is ALWAYS clean, restrooms are always clean and serviced. Thank you for being in our fair city! read more

This location has this weird thing where one night everything goes smooth, your order is right, and your happy. But then more times than appreciated, you get someone rude as hell taking your order, they usually switch people like they don't understand you (98% guarantee your order is jacked up if this happens ), then you might get a total, who cares right?, and after you get to the window it's like a pit stop maneuver to get you out of their faces. And it's consistently a 50/50 chance your food is cold...But I mean I keep going back because I'm addicted to gambling read more

I didn't realize it was a chain until someone who lives in another state was familiar with the brand from a Facebook picture. Still chain doesn't mean it's bad! It may not be In-N-Out, but they certainly have choice going for them. The shake I had, Peanut Butter, was delicious. It's quite a drive for me, but I'd be happy to come back if I'm in the area. read more

What can I say? You get what you pay for. This is poor college kid/hangover food and nothing more. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. I opted for the 5$ plate meal that included an entree, two sides, and a fountain drink. I got a spicy chicken sandwich, fries, and chili. The "spicy chicken sandwich" was not spicy at all, with a single piece of lettuce and a single slice of tomato. I would not recommend it. The fries were what you would expect for fast food fries, similar to Wendy's fries. The chili was absolutely disgusting. It could pass for dog food, but not much else. It tasted like ground beef overcooked in manwhich sloppy joe sauce. My girlfriend ordered a burger with onion rings. They both tasted like they came from sonic. The only redeeming quality this place has is cheerwine in the fountain machine. I wouldn't go back willingly, this place sucks. read more

Great price! Great food! Even better shakes, so thick you have to eat them with a spoon. Only downside, it's always crowded, but they make up for it with fast service. read more
