    a hand holding a sandwich with meat and cheese
    Jack M.

    This was a guilty late night snack. It's fast junk food. And it's cheap. The flavors are dull, and it doesn't taste like real food. But at midnight, it's enough to trick you into being satisfied. And it does that relatively well. Though I still found the flavors dull overall. The hot dog and hamburger basically tasted the same. All generic.

    The line at 12:30 AM was disgustingly long but I understand the random hungry cravings in the middle of the night. Overall, it was worth the wait as the food was pretty good. I just got a regular cheeseburger and it was a good late night fast food choice. Definitely better than the burgers at McDonald's and I wish there was a Cook Out where I was. My friends got fries and it tasted great with the Cook Out sauce. Even though the fries were a bit soggy by the time I had it, flavor was solid and enjoyable. I definitely think it's better than the Chick-fil-A sauce. I'm sure Cook Out can be a hit or miss as with all fast food chains, but this first experience was definitely a hit.

    It was late...they were open...so we went. I don't usually eat Cookout, but I was starving and had a headache. The line as long and slow. When we got to the order box, the order taker sounded tired and had no enthusiasm whatsoever. Definitely wasn't Chick-fil-a, but I ordered a Junior tray with chicken strips and double onion rings. We also got a double burger with chicken nuggets and hushpuppies. I was shocked, but our food was fresh and delicious. I don't know if it's because I was starving or not, but I truly enjoyed it. I will go back if ever in the same situation. Hopefully it will be good then too.

    I know they have a million flavors, but vanilla is just so classic and fantastic.

    I just love Cook Out's food, and it's dangerous how close this location is to me. One thing that does keep me at bay unless I have a really serious craving is the line. Cook Out is NOT fast food. Last time I visited, the line took at least half an hour. At least. I love their milkshakes, especially the orange push up, Oreo, and vanilla. I always upgrade to a shake with my tray. For the tray, I'm all about their bacon cheese dogs, white cheddar curds, and fries. I recently introduced my mom to their food too. She ordered the chicken fingers and chicken nuggets in her tray and labeled them as better than Chic Fil A. Customer service isn't the most pleasant, and it's a good idea to double check your bag before pulling away, but neither of those are deterrents for me. Their food is just too addicting.

    Normally don't have any issues however the last two times I've gone the "chicken strips" have been chicken nuggets. They used to be huge, now it's like half the portion.

    Wonderful "cook out style" hot dog .......

    cook out style hot dog with homemade chili, slaw, mustard, and cheese. I guess they misheard

    We ordered banana pineapple milkshakes which didn't have any pineapples and the bananas were in chunks. The staff were busy talking to each other and couldn't hear. It was my first trip and a long time and I was disappointed

    I don't know how anyone can hate on a cookout tray. It's like $7 for a greezy burger, cheese curds, onion rings, and a shake. They have peach cobbler milkshakes myguys! Sure, everyone working there is prediabetic, so am I. Sure they hand you your food in a half melted styrofoam box without a plastic bag. Who gives a sh*t!? It's cheap, fast, and toisty AF.

    STILL HUNGRY!! I am so irritated right now. Just laugh cook out about 30 minutes ago. I asked for no hot sauce on my barbecue I get all the way home (15-20 mins away) and what do I get, barbecue with hot sauce all over it. So I guess my dinner world just consist of French fries. It's not the 1st time I have had a problem with my food being made Wrong at this location! Oh and don't try to call them because they send you to the Fax machine. It's like they will not answer the phone. I wish I can get a number to their corporate office Maybe they will answer their phone ....this is ridiculous! CHECK YOUR FOOD B4 YOU LEAVE

    I ordered a Chicken Quesadilla and cajun fries... I got a half eaten taped bag of doritos, 3 Chicken Strips (3 Pc) and 2 cheese bites

(Which our server did warn us they would be a little pink, but I was grossed how raw it actually was) and it was very very salty I needed 2-3 waters to counteract. Our server was sweet and attentive. Very personable. Good taste as a whole and nice place/party atmosphere.

The decor and the ambiance are invigorating & soul soothing concurrently. On both occasions I ate in the upstairs dining area & I really enjoyed being able to look out their windows & observe the hustle & bustles of Broad Street while dining. The music that played in the background while we dined was the perfect aural companion to a down home Southern cuisine centered meal. As you know, I love when the music in the restaurant compliments the cuisine & Lillie Pearl's playlist is top notch. During our dining time, we ordered their Smoked Wings as our appetizer. The wings were perfectly seasoned & visually appealing. However, I found them to be a bit dry & overcooked for my taste. My dining companion, however, had no problem with the wings texture. She enjoyed them very much. For my main meal, I ordered their Wild Game Burger[a mixture of Waygu Beef, Bison & Wild Boar] with a side order of Fries. The burger was cooked perfectly. It was well seasoned & juicy. The fries were delicious. They were crispy and also perfectly seasoned. I could have eaten a whole plate of just the fries alone. I ordered a cocktail to complement my meal, the Sweetest Thing. It was bright, crisp & a perfect drink for my food. As for Customer Service, Our server was courteous & attentive & knowledgeable about any menu changes we needed to be aware of. Also of note for me was that I had a reservation I needed to change to an earlier time slot & the staff was able to accommodate my request expediently. I also appreciated the fact that they informed me in advance that they were still on the Lunch menu & not dinner as my initial reservations had requested. I find that type of honesty & transparency refreshing & is definitely one of the reasons I will ALWAYS be a loyal Lillie Pearl customer.

The thing I love here is the sauce options you can get with your order. Don't skip on trying them. Their burgers come with a salad and I wish there was another option like small fries or chips.

The lemonade was not as good as I thought it would be. I am honestly not sure it was real lemonade. It tasted like sour from the bar with strawberry puree and basil. My server asked did I want my burger pink or no pink. I chose pink thinking I'd get medium/medium well. In some spots it almost seemed raw. I didn't finish the burger. I couldn't get past how mushy it seemed because it was so pink. I did enjoy the flavors of the tatziki and garlic aioli. Definitely had potential to be a great burger had it been cooked properly. The Salad that comes with the burgers was good. It's just greens but it has a nice dressing! Their fresh cut fries were amazing. I had those along with their house made manuka honey mustard which was also really good! While I had trouble with the burgers, I'd try this place again to give it another chance! It's a friendly atmosphere with good music, and it is fairly priced!
