We have always liked Cook Out! We love the hamburgers and shakes (for the price and convenience). Today we were traveling in the Pooler area and decided to get lunch. I ordered the BBQ with coleslaw and onion rings. Stupid me; I just assumed it was a BBQ hamburger but it actually BBQ chopped pork sandwich. I almost took it back but decided to keep it and try it. It was just ok. I really wish the menu would specify " BBQ sandwich" and not directly under the hamburger ordering section. Some places they do have BBQ hamburgers where they put the special BBQ sauce on it. I thought this was going to be that type of burger..... oh well... The coleslaw was really good and had great flavor! The onion rings were just ok. My wife ordered the corndog meal with onion rings. She said the corndogs were good and crunchy but didn't like the flavor. We also ordered two milkshakes; banana pudding milkshake and a banana blueberry milkshake. Both shakes were good as usual! The staff were friendly. We didn't have to wait very long on our order. Everything seemed cleaned and organized. We still recommend Cook Out!

Stopped in on our way back to Florida. My wife always talked about this place for any state north of Florida. Finally I got to try it. Stopped in a little after opening with the wife and kids. First off the store was very clean (as expected at opening). Secondly I was very surprised at the resonable prices. From what I can tell it's like a mix between a sit down restaurant and fast food. A perfect blend. I'd say the fries tasted fresh and house made! The burger I had was pretty good. It was a double patty but they kind of seemed on the smaller side. Yet the flavor was still there! If I pass one again I'll definitely try some other menu items! Pics below :)

This place makes great food and great milkshakes and I recommend this place to anyone that comes to Georgia and needs to find a great place to eat and this is the place and it's ain't very expensive

My receipt, none of which was completed correctly

Ok so I finally got fed up enough that I'm posting a review. Cookout has been an awesome restaurant in the past for me. I loved the one in Charleston, SC. However, this cookout has been horrible. I've had constant problems when I go to get milkshakes where they just hand me vanilla milkshakes instead of the milkshakes that I ordered. It has happened multiple times and even when you go in to get it fixed, they give you attitude and just make the same vanilla milkshakes until you demand a refund. In general I didn't have an issue with their food until lately. On June 19th, for example, I ordered a spicy chicken sandwich with extra pickles, cajun fries, and the cheesy jalapeño fries. I got the order and the chicken sandwich didn't have extra pickles. The cheesy jalapeño fries had absolutely no jalapeño (they are partially devoured in the pic cause I was hangry). The cajun fries had no cajun seasoning. I also (if you look at the receipt) got charged for a water that I never asked for and never received. I'm posting this review because I'm tired of management ignoring these easy to fix issues. I'm probably not gonna be eating at this cookout from now on.

Perfectly packaged.

The drive thru is fast!!! Super fast and the employees are very efficient. Our food was hot and tasted amazing. This is my third visit and I think the best part will always be the shakes. Today I had the peanut butter fudge and it didn't disappoint. We will continue to order here since we not only love the food but the service is great.

I think the pictures speak for themselves...management has been pinching pennies on portions for several months & it gets worse every time I visit. If you like getting what you paid for, or even just halfway decent food at this point, don't visit the Cook Out on Pooler Parkway.

The sad amount of ketchup and mustard my daughter got on her hot dog

We're in Georgia for a few weeks and have been to this cook out location multiple times. The first time we ordered inside. The service was good, the lobby was mostly clean and the food was affordable and as good as I remembered from years ago. Every time since we've gone through the drive thru. This is where customer service goes to die. If you want to be greeted with impatience and attitude then this is the spot. And your order will be wrong in some way every time. The first time in the drive thru the person was actually really friendly and funny, but the drinks were completely wrong and the food was sad. My double cheeseburger had two pieces of meat so small that even side by side they didn't cover the bun and my fries were barely a single serving much less double. We hoped it was a fluke and came back a few days later. The person rushed us and was incredibly rude. We ordered two huge teas. At the window she gave us one huge and one large. I reminded her that we ordered two huge teas. After some back and forth about what we wanted versus what we got we drove away with a large and huge because she refused to correct it even if I paid the difference for the size I wanted. Today we gave it one last chance. Yet another incredibly rude and rushed person when ordering and they literally got everything wrong. Not a single thing was right. And we were treated like idiots for sending back the two teas so we could get them with no ice as ordered. We won't be back. Cook out used to be the best and most affordable burger place here but now it's just the place to go if you want to be treated badly and not get anything you want.

Food was edible, but not tasty. The employee behind the counter acted as if she was annoyed. Drink station was poorly stocked.

Wayback burger is a nice option between really fast food and sitdown chains…read more We were pleasantly greeted and staff was so helpful answering our questions about the menu. Burgers are made to order and very worth the brief. We got the wayback sauce on the side bit absolutely loved it using every last drop. Chili cheese fries were yummy too.

My family and I stopped by Wayback Burgers in Pooler this past weekend on a Saturday around noon…read more I'll start with the positives, because there are quite a few. The restaurant was very clean, which I always appreciate. The food was delicious, and the pricing honestly surprised me--in a good way. For four people with drinks, our total came out to $62, which is significantly cheaper than many other burger spots these days. One of my kids ordered a kids cheeseburger meal, and it was a great size for a child. I ordered The Cheesy burger--two patties, three cheese slices, and the bun is flipped inside out. It's definitely unique, and if you're curious, just look at my photo because it speaks for itself. Another person in our group did a custom burger, and everyone agreed the burgers were filling and well-made. The fries were absolutely delicious, and the cook was super nice, which didn't go unnoticed. Now for the not-so-great part. The woman at the front counter who took our order was... not welcoming. No hello, no smile, and honestly she looked like she hated being there. The restaurant wasn't busy at all--we were the only customers--so it wasn't a stress or crowd issue. It felt more like a morale problem than anything else. Because of that, I'm not sure if I'd rush back solely due to the customer service, which is unfortunate because the food itself was really good. If the front-of-house experience matched the quality of the food, this place would be an easy repeat visit.

Our server was great, food was ok. But the check in with the host and lack of management was incredibly off. We used the helpful online waitlist and when told by text that we could check in, we were told to stand "over there" and someone will seat us. This is standard TR process - so fine, we did. But then we waited and waited and waited. We watched everyone around us get seated including people who appeared to walk in after we were "began standing over there". We estimated to have waited an extra 15 min in the corner while others were promptly seated. When we thought maybe they forgot about us, we went up the hostess stand and the host spoke to us like we were children and didn't know how to follow instructions. No apology but rather, "your table isn't ready yet, just wait over there and we'll let you know when it's ready." When the table was finally ready, we were the only ones that didn't get the bread upon seating (they ran out). We finally got the bread when our dinner meals arrived. No apology no thank you for your patience. Normally management comes around to check on how things were going. Not at this location, apparently. It looked like management was busy watching the football game on the TV, even though the restaurant was packed. So, make a note to self, the Pooler TR does things their own way and maybe pass on by next time you are in the area and want some TR.

It took longer than usual for someone to come take my order and even longer to get my food. I think the person in front of me ordered a lot, but not sure. He was chatting with the employees a lot ....one reason it took so long for them to take my order. I did notice that the person who came in after me has the same problem. After waiting so long I decided not to eat in but to put some ketchup on there and hit the road again. The burgers tasted ok...just not like I remembered. Later I started feeling really sick and all I could "taste" was the after taste of the burgers. Not a good situation when you are traveling. I would not stop here again.

Started off poorly with no coffee, orange juice or ice in the front cooler. But the fries, Krystal's with cheese, chili pups and chix (reg and spicy) were made to order right in front of us. I have eaten a lot of late night food at the Krystal in Savannah and this food was incredible. Could it have been because we were the only people there? In all likelihood yes. Let's just say that the cook and server were not in any hurry to get that food out quickly. But I didn't mind waiting because it was outstanding. I'm not sure I'd go during the rush though!!
