    Regular 1/4 lb burger tray with slaw and hushpuppies
    Leah S.

    We couldn't finish our North Carolina trip without stopping at Cook Out. The chargrill style gives their menu offerings a family backyard bbq style feel. Ordering a chargrilled burger is definitely the way to go. We were also impressed by their chargrilled chicken sandwiches. The coleslaw was bland but the hush puppies were good for fast food. The shakes were a bit disappointing; the chocolate malt tasted like syrup and the peach lacked flavor. Nonetheless, we loved our entrees. The food was piping hot and we were pleasantly surprised by how quick it was served. There is no indoor dining at this location so we had to enjoy with a car style picnic.

    Reg BBQ Cookout tray with hushpups, nugs and a huge sweet tea I also got an out west style burger. Bbq sauce and cookout sauce for dippping.

    I went to Cookout mid week around 1pm for lunch. It wasn't very busy and the service was quick but friendly. I got the reg bbq cookout tray with hushpups, nugs and a huge sweet tea I also got an out west style burger. Bbq sauce and cookout sauce for dippping. This was so good and fresh! All this was about $14, man I love Cookout!

    Food is always fresh and delicious. Great staff. Definitely quicker than McDonald's down the road. We often order corn dogs, hush puppies, and milkshakes from here. My favorite milkshake is the WATERMELON milkshake. It's so good! I wish there was a non dairy version. I took one star off because they no longer go the extra step to provide an aluminum liner in the to-go box so when they put hot food in the box, it melts the box a bit- which isn't safe.

    So many options to choose from, so be sure to know what you want! Loved the cheese bites the first time I had it, but switched it up to try something different. I love how you can upgrade to a milkshake for just $1.50 more. The bbq pork platter is also something not to sleep on.

    The meat patty @CookOut got smaller ands became oblong, not even close to round. The wilted lettuce looks sad.

    I went to the @CookOut Capital Blvd location in Raleigh, NC, and it was not a great experience. The first problem was the chicken nuggets. The nuggets were visually different, but most dissatisfying was the taste and quality of the nuggets. The were visually wider, but very thin. The nuggets were practically too salty to eat, and they had a really watery texture. If these will be the normal nuggets going forward in the future, I will not be ordering them. The burger was inedible. The first thing I noticed was how soggy the buns were, and if I had sandwich bread in the house, I would have replaced them. The lettuce was wilted, like it was soaked in water before being put on the burger, and a tiny piece as well. The meat patty was oblong, and not even close to being round. It was no where close to filling up the bun. It was only about 65-70% covering the bun. This was by far the worse experience I have ever had visiting the best burger chain in town. I always loved CookOut over all of the other places that serve burgers, but they need to step their quality back up. I think to keep the prices low, they are using cheaper cuts of meat, and inferior ingredients. Please go back to higher quality. But Cookout is the best place I can think of to get a milk shake. Not Sonic, CharGrill, McDs, or Steak n Shake come close in my opinion. #430

    BBQ chicken sandwich with pups and slaw. Can't beat the price!
    Heather B.

    Can't beat the taste and the price! $5 for a Cook Out tray. Double drive thru lines, amazingly fast service considering they are always busy there. Milkshakes are great, lots of flavors to choose from. BBQ sandwich terrific, burgers good, and hush puppies are done right. A regular at the Cook Out!

    BBQ sandwich and more for, uhm, $4.73   Yeah, you can afford Cookout
    Ron W.

    So what can you get for $5 nowadays? Well at Cook Out on Cap Blvd you can drive off with a delicious barbeque sandwich with slaw and Texas Pete. A corndog and hushpuppies. AND a Cheerwine float with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Are you KIDDING me? Why would anyone eat at McBurger Hut? Yeah, Cook Out is local and does fast food right. Service is always friendly, fast and polite. And yes, there's no seating outside of the seat in your car. But totally worth it. Love ya Cook Out, thanks for being some of the best cheap eats in the Triangle...

It's pricey but good quality and large portions. The sliders are huge. Don't mistake them for being small. Plenty of parking in a shared lot by the garage. Tables are easy to maneuver around with an assistive device. Would come back. I have 4 stars because it took a long time. I suppose good food takes time but it also takes the fast out of fast food to wait 15 + minutes for a small order. I'll be better prepared next time. I also deducted because the bathrooms were nasty and there was no toilet paper in the stall. It says to flush twice and it's apparent people didnt because the toilet was stopped up and I couldn't get myself to use it. Then finding no toilet paper was enough to make me skip it all together. I would definitely make it a littler easier with the pick up. First off we couldn't hear what number they called and some of us older folk can't remember numbers. I had to get my receipt to confirm the number because I couldn't remember if it was 5 or 6 or what. Then the order came and looked nothing like I expected and I had to check again to make sure I had the right number. If they can keep the bathrooms clean and call the numbers a little louder, I think it would help a bit.

I hate to rate this place a 1-star but the service during this visit was disappointing. Some of our friends arrived about 30 minutes before us and ordered something small while they waited. When we got there, there weren't enough seats for all of us, so we asked if we could move to a larger table. The staff told us we couldn't because our friends had already eaten, even though the rest of us were planning to order. On top of that, our water was never refilled, which reinforced the feeling of being an inconvenience rather than a guest at the restaurant. I remember the service being much warmer when I last came here about two years ago. I was excited to see the new market/shop front and updated seating, but unfortunately the service this time made the experience feel pretty unwelcoming.

The cold bibimbap was refreshing and well-balanced -- fresh veggies and a nice chilled contrast to the hot wings. It felt light but still satisfying. I am not sure if the hot bibimbap would've tasted better. I was expecting more flavor, and more side dishes, being it a Korean restaurant. Service was good. We came for lunch on a Monday and there was only one other customer when we arrived.

I used to work in the hospitality business, so I understand how hard the work is. The other night, I placed a large online order for a group. I did so at least two (closer to three) hours before it was to be picked up. I provided my payment information. The person who I sent to pick it up said that she was turned away and told that the order could not be fulfilled. I was never notified despite the fact that I am the purchaser, not to mention the fact that the store had my information because of the online order. I have lost $160 to this order in addition to an improvised order at the last minute that cost a bit more because of this debacle. No one except an automated response has ever been in touch with me to apologize or to make right the fact that I have essentially been robbed of my money. Until I hear back from this restaurant and they compensate me, I will never eat from a CAVA store ever again. I cannot think of a more disrespectful way to treat paying customers. These people should be ashamed of themselves.

The chicken was crispy and the flavors of the bowl were amazing. The queso dip was perfectly seasoned and spicy. It's pricey but I definitely think you get your money's worth. I liked it so much I considered going back the next day. The reason I deducted a star: my order got forgotten and I waited over 30 minutes. I placed an online order and went in at the given pick up time. Pretty soon, a worker politely asked my name and went to check on my order. She came back and said it would be a few minutes. About 15 minutes passed, and I watched dine-in customers who ordered after me receive their food, as well as multiple take-out customers. Finally, the worker asked me again what my name was, and checked on my order. She said they were still working on it. After 5-10 more minutes, she checked again and brought it out. This whole time, I could see into the kitchen and my order had been sitting on the counter for at least 10 minutes before I got it. It happens, and the workers were friendly - I just would've given them a bump if they'd apologized for the wait or acknowledged it. It is a bit of an awkward set-up for pickup orders, as the only place to wait for your order is basically in the dining room near tables where patrons are eating. I definitely think that's something they could re-evaluate and improve on. Overall, I'll definitely come back if I'm in the area!
