Its a staple the restuarant is just okay in a pinch. I wanted a hot dog it looked like it was fried instead of grilled. The fries are a solid. read more

Lunch service might be different than the late night rush BUT overall it was good. I was in and out in less than 5 minutes, I hate using the drive thru because the speaker is terrible and gives me anxiety lol Burger, fries, nuggets and a drink for less than $10.. it was all hot and tasted just fine for the price. Good experience overall, no complaints! read more

Some of the employees have such attitudes that makes people not want to go back, the microphones at drive-thru absolutely suck, you can never understand what they're saying. If you're gonna have an attitude, if you don't wanna work, figure it out so you're not making other people's days shitty. read more

Cook Out - Burgers Near Me - Portsmouth, Virginia

I went to the drive thru at cookout this past Sunday and it was pouring rain. The person who took my order took 10 minutes to take it. She kept switching over (3 times) to the other lane to take multiple cars orders. My car and myself were soaked from having my window open so long, just to order two meals. When I finally got to the window, the lady was rude and wouldn't even look at me to hand me the food or drinks. Worst service I've EVER experienced at any drive thru. The food was cold. I do NOT recommend this particular cook out and I will not be going back. read more

Cookout is a place I have been trying to get to every time I come to Virginia, I finally had the opportunity and let me just say it did disappoint to a certain degree. Me and my dad went to the location on Victory Blvd, very big and spacious on the inside and a clear easy to read menu. The gentleman at the counter was somewhat helpful but I just think that he was distracted because he was also running drive through and he also appeared to be having a full blown conversation with whoever he was talking to on his airpods. I got the double burger with double fries and a coke float. My dad got the double burger with chicken nuggets and onion rings. We got our food pretty quick. Food is made to order so it was fresh but it did not look like I received double fries and my dad only got like 5 onion rings but they were both crunchy and hot, The burger was delicious(its char-broiled). I had to go back up to the counter to ask for my coke float and they also forgot to add my cajun seasoning on the side. I was still a little hungry when we were getting ready to go so i ordered an additional side of onion rings. When i got them they were not fully done, the coating was literally falling off the onions. I asked for them to remake them for me. There was no type of acknowledgment or apology while correcting this service. When I got them back they still looked undercooked but I took them anyway with plans to pop them in the oven when I got home. Overall my rating is 2/10 for this location, the service was very sub par and there was a lot of small misses. I would encourage some re-training in the guest experience. But I did have the opportunity to go to the one on Military blvd once I landed and the food and service was wonderful so their rating would be an 8/10 only because I had a drive thru experience instead of dine in. read more

I stopped by here tonight and went into the drive thru, I was served by Kaleah and she was one of the most professional workers I have ever came across in that facility! That location is my go-to spot and she was THE FIRST to not have an attitude while speaking!! Thank you KALEAH! read more

this cookout isn't up to cookout standard. this cookout does have indoor seating. they also don't have okra which isn't their fault. i asked for cajun fries and onion rings for my sides and instead i was given regular fries, which im fine with, but then i literally got 1 total onion ring in the tray. read more

Cashiers could use an attitude adjustment. If they don't want to work, then don't, but don't have an attitude with the customer and don't roll your eyes at them. Bun was dried out and barbecue was cold. There's a problem every single time visit this location. I'm done. read more

You ask for Cajun Fries and they give you regular fries??? This is like the 3rd time, yall can't hear the order?

Before I begin this review let me start off by saying that this review is based solely on my opinion and my opinion alone so with that being said let's go!. I was on my way to my mechanic's house ( this guy has been a close friend of mine for many years ) and I skipped lunch today at work so I decided to stop by and grab a quick bite, boy oh boy do I wish I had waited to I got home but to my food decision defense I was hungry and hadn't eaten all day and it was about 3:15 pm so I really wasn't trying to wait till I got home to eat and I wasn't sure how long I would be at my friends house ( the mechanic for those with short memories ;/). So as I was saying I got a cookout tray which consists of different options, I went with a double burger with cheese and two sides which were french fries , and a cheeseburger quesadilla! Man oh man the burger was tasteless( I asked for cheese but didn't get it ) so maybe the cheese may have did the burger some taste justice but oh well and the cheeseburger quesadilla was just okay. I will say the fries was the best thing and they were hot too so I was definitely pleased with them! Let me add that there was a young lady at the drive through window with a great attitude and super duper ( I know that's not a word that you will find in the dictionary )customer service skills she asked me if I needed condiments and handed them to me then followed up with do you need more without me having to ask for more and I know it's such a small gesture but that went a long way with me! I'm sorry I didn't get her name but she had blond braided hair and was so sweet and attentive so two stars for her and one for the hot fries! I will return but I'll just stick to their milkshake which are pretty good. read more

I highly disappointed with this location because the quality of food hasn't been the same since I've worked there years ago I was served RAW uncooked food! Tried to call but no answer read more

Usually the food at this particular location is good, but not tonight. By far my WORST experience at cookout. My hamburger was cooked very well done. It was awful.. I took 3 bites and was completely done. My husband said his fries didn't have any seasoning just bland. The best thing was my milkshake, I don't know how you could mess that up. My 3 year old enjoyed his quesadillas, I'm glad but my husband and I are still hungry. I hate when you get excited for a restaurant and the food is terrible. We won't be coming back for awhile. read more

I must say this place is amazing. When I went I received the best customer service and they were patient due to it being my first time. I was surprised with how large their menu was. If you were to go maybe looking at their menu prior would help. I ordered a burger tray with Cajun fries and cheese bites. I think that the food was to die for! The food was hot and well seasoned for the price. They are relatively cheap as well which also makes it a plus. I also ordered a strawberry cheesecake shake which was very good. The shake was thick and just the right amount of sweet. I would go back again and and read more

Cook Out - A chicken-less chicken quesadilla. - Burgers Near Me - Portsmouth, Virginia

At 1:46 Pm on 10/11/24 the women who handed me my food at the drive thru window pocketed the $7.03 that was my change. I didn't receive my change so we asked her about it. She proceeded to pull out the change from her pocket crumbled up. There was really no reason it should've been in her pocket period. Her intent was to steal it and when we asked for a manager she was hesitant. The manger pretended to cared but instead of letting her go on the spot after reviewing camera footage, he sent her on break. He went to his car to smoke and she sat in the parking lot. I'm sure they will allow her to carry on with her shift and she will continue to pocket peoples change. So sad. I feel bad for her coworker who tried to tell her to give us our money before she pocketed it. read more

Usually pretty good but whoever working today needs to put a little more effort into their job first my burger isn't even cooked at all it's mad pink way too pink for me and ion why they tried to play me on my cheese fries but since when do we season the cheese and not the fries bro please tell me I really feel like I was robbed. read more

This is unfortunately the closest cookout to my house or I would not go here. Wondering if it would be worth it to cross the bridge at this point. The food is usually missing something to some degree or it's cold - tonight, it was cold, milkshake cup was noticeably broken and served to us leaking, and when we were asked if we wanted ketchup and responded yes was met with an attitude. Why ask if it's going to irritate you if we say yes? When we got there there was a line halfway around the building in one line and nobody in the other and there was no indication that the line was closed. We pulled into the empty lane and were asked to go to the back of the other lane, we did. 3 vehicles then pull into the empty lane that we were moved out of and are served/paid/gone before we were even to the speaker. The customer service here is extremely lacking, which I can honestly say might be a shift thing because around lunch time they're friendlier and on top of things. They're obviously short staffed, which is understandable but I'm not sure that's an excuse to be so rude to people. I'd say that this might be the worst location for service in Hampton Roads had it not been for the one on General Booth in VB. The one time I went inside it was like walking into a backroom of a fever dream. It wasn't the cleanest and was still in a pandemic ghost town-esque mode (in late 2023), most of the time I didn't even notice it was open inside because of how dark and stagnant it was. I do really hope this region of Cook Out can hop off of the struggle bus because this is virtually the one chain I will eat at so it's even more disappointing for us than your average Joe. read more

I normally love the food at Cookout and the service is normally good because it is a Christian place; however, this particular location has absolute jerks running it. We were ordering through the drive through and the employee left to help a different customer without telling us. Then another employee came and asked us to restart, then told us to wait because he had to do something. A third employee came on the speaker and told us to restart our order for the third time, and we said, "This is getting ridiculous." The employee then said, "Um, excuse me! What is so ridiculous?!" He spoke in the most shockingly rude manner I have ever heard an employee of any business speak. We told him that we restarted our order three times and we were upset. He said that he was new and did not appreciate us saying the service was ridiculous. He then told us that because he didn't appreciate our complaining, he was canceling our order and would call the police if we did not leave. We were pretty dumbfounded and asked for the employee's name so we could report them to corporate. He told us that he would not do that; so, we asked for the manager. He told us he was the manager (which we doubt since he did say he was new). We went ahead and left so the police didn't have to get involved. I know a lot of times, the customer is an idiot and the employee is just doing their job, and the customer gets mad and leaves a scathing review; however, I assure you this is not the case in this instance. The employee elevated the situation from us being annoyed to him threatening to call the police. From 0 straight to 100 real quick. TL;DR: Food is normally really good and service at any other location is always great. This particular location just has terrible employees. read more

I used to work here when cookout first arrived in VA THE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND FOOD QUALITY NOW IS HORRIBLE !!! We use to have to clean the trash that people threw around the parking lot but now they just DONT care ! High prices with bad service and food this is NOT the cookout I know. Pure shame and since when if you pay with card and you ask for a refund they give you cash ?? read more

How many times are you guys going to fuck up my order? I literally said cheese quesadilla Trey five times literally. I even asked the lady to repeat it back to me.

I went with my 91 year old mother. We got 2 sweet teas, chicken finger snacks,fries for her and I got the bbq sandwich. The bbq pork sandwich with coleslaw's bread was soaked! Yuck! $20. Not worth it and definitely I won't be back! read more

Most Unprofessional people I have ever seen in a drive through , I went to order food and I guess the wind was blowing and they were having hard times hearing me , so the person doing drive through mumbled "please speak the fuck up " I have came To this location plenty of times and the service is not getting any better, the person whom I'm talking about is a dark skin heavy set woman with braids and fake eyelashes in serving the inner lane . read more

Normally we don't have any issues with our cookout order. It's cheap, quick, and good. However today's order is different.. My husband ordered 2 bbq plates and I ordered a Jr tray in the drive through. When we got home, we had three bbq plates and none of my food at all. I'm very disappointed and it's questionable if we will be returning after this. read more

My mom said two words to me, "Cook Out." I was like, "What is Cook out." Then she said, "milkshakes!" Just from that, I can say that Cook Out does have some awesome milkshakes! I believe 36 to be exact. The Snickers and Strawberry Cheesecake are de-lish! We came back a second time and ordered actual food. If you order the regular burger, you will have to ask for what you WANT on it. I figured it would be easier to ask for what you don't want b/c we all know what a standard burger comes with. The menu has a large selection to please anyone. The hushpuppies are the best! I would just go here to get a double order of them! The downside of this eatery is the custom service. Ordering by drive-thru was bit of a hassle. I asked for a moment and then a moment later I hear, "Go ahead with your order." The voice box was very distorted. Plus the train passing by did not help. Once at the window, it felt as though our food was passed to us in a rush. The funny thing is, my wife went inside to place another tray order and she wanted a bag to carry the food in. The worker said that they are only given in drive thru. What? When we tried one of the shakes, we found out that it was the not the right flavor. In the end, we were very satified w/the food, especially the hushpuppies! fin. read more

Get your grub on The food is your basic and standard fried food eating flair. It is pretty tasty, compared to other fast food chains in the area. One recommendation: if you are not a regular patron of this establishment, do yourself a favor and go inside of the restaurant to order food. I say (or rather type this) this because the menu is so INTENSE. There are waaaay too many food choices with different combinations that you can make and you may feel that you are under the gun to order something fast in the drive through. I will say DO NOT order the chili, because that was all sorts of nasty. Other than that the Cook Out is worthwhile to get fast, delicous, and (most importantly) greasy food at the fraction of the time that it would take to fire up a grill. read more

This was my first time here. I asked for a burger with chicken fingers. Instead of giving me what I ordered they gave me chicken nuggets. When I went to tell them my order is wrong the disrespectful rude cashier replayed "we don't have chicken fingers" when in fact one of the other meals I asked for came with chicken fingers. When I told the cashier they gave it for the other order. His response was "well how am I suppose to know u that" I said my order over 3 times. When I asked him how much he gave me an attitude as if I was just suppose to know how much the order would be. read more

Excuse my language on here but FUCK this particular location. I asked for an barbecue sandwich, fries, cheeses bites and a coke float. I repeated a coke float at least 3 times. Them MFs gave me a barbecue sandwich with 2 fries and a regular coke. I was going to let the coke go by but the manager told the woman at the register I had to go back around and they had to charge me extra for cheese bites. They fucked up my order and for some reason the manager felt I should pay for it. What kind of dumb shit is that? They fucked up my order. I said fuck it and left. I never really write a review but today I got time for it. I wish I could give them 5 shit emojis but unfortunately I have to give them 1 star read more

Terrible service, we didn't get what we asked for and was overcharged. When we went back to get the extra order removed they had terrible customer service they were disrespectful. They took all the food back and when they gave it back the food was cold and still wrong, my milk shake wasn't even filled up fully. I WILL NOT GO BACK EVER AGAIN. I feel like I wasn't treated fairly because I came back because they messed up my order. read more

Cook Out - Vanilla milkshake - Burgers Near Me - Portsmouth, Virginia

Went tonight to just get a burger tray and some side and they charged me for two trays. I went back and asked them to just refund me my money. They end up making it a big deal thinking I was lying when I wasn't even gone more than 1 minuet they took all our food back remade it and it was still wrong ! Not to mention my Oreo milkshake had half cookies in there like they just didn't care and the manager's attitude was just terrible..... read more

We always enjoy the food when we go there however we stopped going there all together due to the fact that I always had to yell at the top of my lungs in order for the cashier to hear my order. Then they would get attitudes because they thought I was yelling at them for something stupid. I shouldn't have to say "double cheese bites" 5 or 6 times and still get double fries read more

When I come here I stick to what I know: chili cheese fries, chicken tenders and milkshakes. With those things, I know that I can't go wrong. It's not CFA, but it's also not CFA prices, so there's that. Then menu is extensive! You'll need to go over it BEFORE you hold up the drive through if you are new to this place (just google it!) Service is usually very fast at this location, so I have no complaints about that at all. I do find that certain flavors of their milkshakes have an aftertaste and this is something that I've noticed at ALL Cookout's; not just this one. read more

I believe people have an irrational fear of being ignored at a two-lane drive thru. This is the only explanation I can come up with for why they're always empty. Cook Out is fairly new to Hampton Roads so the lines are crazy, spilling onto the busy streets. A situation like that can be avoided at this particular location because THERE ARE TWO DRIVE THRU LANES. So while six cars piled up in one line, I merged onto the empty one and had my order taken instantly. The burgers truly taste like a great homemade Fourth of July burger on the grill. The lettuce was actually crisp. I was impressed. I also had a spoonful of the seasonal eggnog milkshake. It was great, not amazing. I like Cold Stone shakes better. Cook Out's cool, so long as there's no ridiculous wait. read more

Milkshakes are great. The food.. well you get what you pay for. It's okay for cheap food. You get a bacon cheeseburger paying extra for the bacon.. and I had half a slice of bacon on it. And you order sides with the meal and.most the time you get jipped. Ask for a side of onion rings and you get 2 or 3. read more
