    Picked up takeout on Christmas Eve.We each had burgers and fries.Great. The drive thru line moved quickly and service was great .Merry Christmas from The Working Man Review.

    I have always heard great things about Cook Out, so I decided to stop here for some late-night bites and a milkshake. There was a line, but it moved very quickly. There was also plenty of seating inside the restaurant. The menu is large, with lots of options for the plates. I settled on a jr. plate with a cheese quesadilla, onion rings, coleslaw, and a diet coke. I also tried some hushpuppies off a friend's plate, and they were delicious. I also ordered an Oreo milkshake to share with my husband. The food came out quickly, and was served in to-go containers. Everything was hot, and you could tell the frying oil wasn't old. Everything was okay, not great, but it seemed like the food would be great after a night out. The milkshake was delicious though, and so thick that you had to eat it with a spoon. They had over 45 milkshake flavors, so everyone could find something they want.

    Cook out is famous for a reason. prices are amazing, food was great and had lots of selections especially with the milkshakes. Quesadilla was a bit small but for like $2 it makes sense. service and food was made very fast and tasted very fresh. reminds me of a five guys burger but not falling apart. great place to get a cheap tasty meal.

    Food was great. Quick friendly service. Clean restaurant. Nice decor. Bbq sandwich was great. Onion rings hot and crispy.

    Previously given this place four stars, but I've bumped it up to five. For fast food they don't get enough credit for how good their milkshakes really are.

    It's basically fast food with less flavor. Very dry thin burger patties. Unspicy spicy chicken. Crappy fries At least it's cheap.

    The worst possible place anybody could go to eat. Don't waste your 20 bucks like we did. Burgers are so small they're almost microscopic.

They literally have every fast food and chain dining experience on one block, but I didn't know that at the time but I'm tired of road trip Food so wanted to sit down for a good meal! Pulling into the parking lot and I was overwhelmed because it was huge and very crowded! We go to the desk and they tell us 25 minutes. This place was huge and very accommodating, they were getting people to their tables fast! We noticed two empty seats at the bar, so we opted to take them and had the pleasure of being served by Robert. He was attentive, made sure our waters were always full. He gave recommendations on his favorite dishes and was all around a great bartender! The guy working the other end of the bar was equally as professional. The ambience is a dark cool vibe, little trendy but people were dressed pretty casually! Answer the most important thing...The food! For an app, we got the beer, cheese fondue that came with apples, bread and pretzels. The beer cheese had a little bit of ooomph to it, which was refreshing because usually I'm not a big mustard person. The pretzel bites were incredible crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The apples were fresh all around the appetizer for 3 to 4 people so we took extra home. I ordered the 10 ounce sirloin cooked, medium with the web sweet potatoes and a side Caesar salad for a three dollar charge which ended up being a full-size salad! It was super fresh and gigantic for a side salad. The steak was cooked perfectly, in the middle with an insane sear. Their house, butter that they put on it truly elevated the flavor profile. I tried the sweet potatoes mashed and they were enjoyable, but I do not enjoy a sweet side with my food so I knew I was going to donate them to my husband and he said they were incredible, the flavor was definitely there just not my cup of tea, but I knew that from the beginning . He got the Caesar salad with grilled chicken! It had so much flavor and tastes incredible but yet melted in your mouth it was the most tender chicken I've ever had in my life, and the flavor was all there! Not even the slightest bit of any kind of dryness. One of the best bites of chicken I've ever had.! He ordered the bison meatloaf to go, and that comes with caramelized mashed potatoes and fried onion straws.... It smells incredible and I will update when we try it . * UPDATE: best meatloaf ever!!! Based on the quality/ experience on a very busy night- everything was phenomenal and I will return. Service 10/5 Food 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Value 5/5

    Amazing service, delicious food, large portions and charming setting…read more I got the fried chicken liver with coleslaw and jalapeño corn pudding. The chicken liver was beautifully battered and fried, so crispy and light. It was delicious dipped in the comeback sauce and with some Tabasco to mix things up. Sides were amazing also. This place is definitely a step up from the Old Mill restaurant across the way. We'll be back again!

    3.1... Pottery House Café -- Pigeon Forge, TN…read more We've eaten at the Pottery House Café several times over the years, and unfortunately, this was by far our worst experience. So I guess everybody has an off day. Unfortunately, this one felt like they were having an off week. I had the triple-decker sandwich and loaded potato soup combo. The sandwich was good, but it definitely needed more of the sweet onion sauce. There must have been a shortage of sweet onions because they were apparently rationing that stuff. The loaded potato soup had really good flavor, but it wasn't even close to being hot enough. It was more lukewarm potato soup than loaded potato soup. Apparently, the potatoes got more of a warm bath than a hot tub. We also ordered the loaded potato chips as an appetizer, and they were good, but there seemed to be about half the cheese on them that there normally is. I guess the cheese was also on a budget that day. My wife ordered the quesadilla -- well, technically it was a quesadilla wrap -- which consisted of a very small amount of chicken and approximately 16 pounds of cheese. At some point, it stopped being a chicken quesadilla and became an extremely cheesy wrap that happened to have met a chicken once. We also had a house salad, which was pretty underwhelming. Honestly, it was more of a side salad pretending to be a house salad. And considering the amount of cheese in my wife's quesadilla wrap, I thought maybe they could have spared a little of it for the salad to give it some flavor and excitement. Our waiter was friendly and did an OK job keeping up with the refills, so no complaints there. We were able to sit outside, and it was HOT that day. Thankfully, they had fans running, which made it pretty bearable. The atmosphere was nice, as it usually is. Unfortunately, when you put everything together, this visit just didn't live up to our previous experiences. We've been here several times, and this was easily the worst one. I'm going to classify this visit as "jumped the shark." Maybe we just caught them on a bad day, but based on this experience, I'd eat somewhere else next time.

I'd wanted to stop several times before, but it's such a small restaurant that we never had enough time to wait. Today we finally got the chance to try it. The restaurant is pretty small with only about six tables. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted and told the wait would be around 30 minutes. We weren't in a hurry, so we decided to stay. They gave us a pager, and we sat at one of the picnic tables outside while we waited. It actually only took about 10 to 15 minutes before our table was ready, which was a nice surprise. I usually look at the menu ahead of time, but I didn't this visit. I was expecting a few more breakfast options, but I ordered the French toast since it's one of my favorites. My brother ordered the pancakes with strawberries and bananas, and we both got a side of bacon. Our food came out pretty quickly. They brought my French toast and our bacon first and let us know the pancakes would be out in just a minute. When they arrived, we were both shocked by the size. Those pancakes were huge! Everything was very good, and the staff was incredibly friendly. The only thing I wasn't a big fan of was the bacon, but my brother actually loved it. That's just one of those things where everyone's tastes are different. Whenever I can, I like supporting locally owned restaurants instead of chain restaurants, so I was glad we finally stopped in. I also appreciated the atmosphere. They had Christian music playing and scripture displayed throughout the restaurant. My faith is important to me, so I enjoyed that touch. It wasn't overbearing or pushed on anyone. It simply added to the welcoming atmosphere.

    Great little place off the busy parkway. My wife and I walked down for dinner (okay, she walked, I…read morerolled). Great Chicken Salad Sandwich and Cher's Salad. Oh, I hate limp, doggy fries, but these were super crispy just like I like 'em...so extra points for that small detail. I usually comment on the wheelchair accessibility of places I review. The FBT wasn't huge, and one might have a bit of difficulty navigating. BUT, the hostess was shap as a tack and seated us in a nice nook where the chair fit with no problem. So I loved that, naturally. I have had some try to seat me in an area where no wheelchair could fit. That was appreciated. Speaking of sharp staff, our server, Brianna, was just super friendly from the get-go, and made us feel right at home. Our order was out to us in a jiff. I recommend highly. I may have to go back for a t-shirt . ( Oh, and check out the homemade ice cream place next door.). Incidentally, as we were leaving to walk back to our hotel, a fierce storm blew up sending us to take shelter under the portico of the near-by LeCinte Center. So...a romantic little mini adventure.
