    Big double burger house style
    Noah E.

    Tastes like a burger from an actual cookout. And a burger for under $5 can't beat it.

    I tried Cook Out for the first time this weekend and I realized- I have been missing out my whole life. This place is the shit. It's so cheap, so many options and open late night. This would have been my go to in high school/ college if it were around, but I probably also would've ended up 500lbs. This places shakes are beyond amazing- I had the banana pudding and it had chunks of banana and nilla wafers. The white cheddar cheese curds gave me the ultimate cheese pull, and the burger was loaded with flavor. You really can make your food what you want at cookout, everything is so customizable! I love you Cook Out!!

    This place is so great and the prices are insanely cheap. The vibe of the inside of the restaurant is comparable to any typical fast food joint and you just order at the counter. The food came out really fast and the staff was nice.

    Stopped by here after attending a concert at the arena and the whole arena seemed to be here as well. The drive thru line circled around the building and the line inside was just as bad. There were three workers manning the registers and so the line moved pretty quickly. The workers were definitely not having it though as they all looked mad to be there... I ordered a plain cheeseburger with fries and my sister had the bacon cheeseburger with fries and an Oreo shake. It took about 20 minutes until our number was called out. It was chaotic in there as everyone seemed to still be rowdy from the concert. The workers were all stressin. We picked up our food and we decided to eat back at the hotel. My burger was decent as it had flavor and was cooked well. They added bacon to it even though I asked for it to be plain. My sister said her burger was really good and she really liked the shake. The fries were a little to soggy for my liking. Overall the food wasn't bad. The service was crappy though.

    This was the only late night food that was open when we were in the area. This is basically a fast food joint that I've never heard of. From what I understand there's a few locations but not many. It's a standard hamburger and hotdog joint with a few other items like bbq and chicken sandwiches. Apparently they're also known for their milkshakes. I went for their combo meal which included a chicken sandwich, a corndog, french fries, and a drink. I decided to try an Oreo shake for my drink. It was OK but nothing to rave about. In fact, all my food was just OK. The thing that struck us most about this place was The ordering and pick up process for your food. You ordered at a counter, but picked up at a different counter. But the way the restaurant was laid out you had to walk around a section of tables. If you go to the order counter, they won't give you your food, even if nobody's there, they make you walk around to the other section of the counter. Odd. My friend tried an old-fashioned float and he liked it so much, he got a second one. If you're hungry, this place works...especially late!

    Fast food quality, only good for when you're drunk. The buns were soggy and lacked flavor.

    Today was my second time here :) I had a "regular burger" with tomato, bacon, and cheese. My bacon seemed to be undercooked but the flavor of the burger was good, tasted even better with some of their buffalo sauce. I also had a small order of their "cajun fries" and they were delicious! (Adding the buffalo sauce on them made them taste even better as well). Lastly I had a small vanilla milkshake, last time I came here I remembered it being so thick that I couldn't even drink it... so this time I specifically asked for it to be more on the liquid side, lol but no luck today, it was thicker than thick. The taste is good but its not drinkable so grab a spoon! The service seems to always be friendly and helpful here, and the restaurant is big enough for groups.

    Upon entering the establishment, we were greeted with mutli-color barriers to route you around the registers. It was an odd layout. The food was prepared pretty quickly. However, the food tasted like it has been sitting around for awhile. The burger patty was also very small - about half the size of the bun. The price was the best thing about Cook Out.

    Food is average but the prices make it a two star at best. Too many better burger joints to waste your time here.

    The Finch is everything you could want in an upscale restaurant: great atmosphere, great food,…read moregreat service! We had a larger (10) group celebrating two birthdays and the staff handled things without breaking a sweat. We arrived a few minutes late for our reservation but it was no bother as our table was still being prepared. On that note: highly recommend a reservation, this is a popular place! Once we were seated we had the pleasure of Nichelle, a wonderful waitress. She was on top of everything we needed or wanted and we had very little wait time for her return. Great service! And the food... DELICIOUS! As you can imagine, our group of ten had a good selection across the menu and there was not a single person who was disappointed. Everyone loved their amazing food. What tops everything off is the atmosphere here. It's popular so, as you can imagine, it's a bit noisy. However, I like to call it "lively". And they really nailed the physical design, so inviting and upscale. I'll stop there and simply say: check this place out, it's great!

    So many great things about The Finch. My server, Savanna, was EXCEPTIONAL, like AMAZING. She was…read morebright, helpful, and attentive to the max, but not in an annoying way. She even went out of her way to get me a drink that had fallen off the menu a few weeks prior, a delightful cucumber spritz. The ambiance is awesome. As others have said, music isn't too loud, just pleasant in the background, so it would be ideal for having a conversation. The space is open, bright, light-filled, and stylish. Parking is in a private lot behind the restaurant and they validate parking for up to two and a half hours. I wish I could rave the same way about the food. While the cocktails were refreshing and they had a cocktail for every palate, my steak and eggs was bland. It came out a little closer to rare than medium, but I can live with that. But I am not sure I detected a speck of salt or pepper. The steak was at least tender and the sunny side up eggs were cooked appropriately. The potatoes were dry. And I did have the wagyu meatball appetizer. It's a large portion, so easily shared amongst two or three people. Cheesy and saucy with a little spice. The focaccia could've been toasted a little more. I considered the short rib hash, but my server told me it could be salty and hit or miss (I appreciate her honesty and she 100 percent should be praised for it). I came during brunch (even on a weekday). They also serve French toast, desserts, oysters, burrata, potstickers and tuna tartare, salads, burgers and other sandwiches. If you come for lunch or dinner, you can also get grilled salmon, blackened redfish, shrimp and grits, pastas (cajun chicken, pappardelle bolognese, tortellini) as well as various cuts of steak. It's conveniently located right across from the Frist Museum and is part of the Union Station Hotel. I would try this place again for dinner, but would skip the brunch. And again, Savanna was top tier! She deserves all the flowers!
