I always have a great experience at this cookout. The people who work typically seem happy to be there even if it's super late at night. They are very efficient. The people working go out of their way to be kind. One of the gentleman working told be to have a blessed day as I was leaving. You typically don't see such kindness in the fast food industry so this was so refreshing to see. read more

Had food and was quick. These seem the only things you need to be better than most places on game day.

We have eaten here several times now and have always had good food and service all the time. read more

Cook Out - Cook out Starkville - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Starkville, Mississippi

Service was non existent they wouldn't even take our order without walking away to the back and just not coming back out.

The most disappointing experience I've had in a restaurant, much less a Cookout. I came in today and the whole place is dirty. Water was spilled over the floor in many places, and trash littered the tables and floor. The restroom was vandalized and a complete wreck. No one was there to take my order, I had to call out for someone several times. When she did take my order, the girl stared daggers at me, didn't say your welcome, nothing. She was possibly the most rude counter worker I've ever encountered. The only soda with syrup in the machine was sprite. I will not be back inside, drive-through only from now on. read more

Last few times I've gone, they got my order wrong. The burger was greasy. I love their shakes. But don't go if you want a decent burger. Not to mention employees are rude and uncaring. You'll just waste your money. I could only stomach about half the burger before tossing it in the trash. read more

Great food at great prices. Love the chicken quesadillas. Everyone I know loves the place, so I was surprised at the rating on here, but people are way more likely to leave a review if something goes wrong then when it goes great. read more

Service was relatively quick and the girl serving us superbly good. Food was a lot more flavorful than other locations I've tried especially the grilled Cajun Chicken sandwich. Order was just as I requested. read more

Cook Out - Menu board - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Starkville, Mississippi

Full disclosure: I'm obsessed with this place. Are you going to get a burger as good as at Bulldog Burger or even Mugshots? No. But I'll be darned if you can't get a heap of really tasty food that's much, MUCH fresher and tastebud-pleasing than anything you could get at ANY other fast food joint, for as cheap or cheaper than any other fast food joint. Example: two hot dogs, fries, hush puppies, and a giant tea for under 6 dollars. For six dollars, it can be that plus a really spot on milkshake--I recommend the chocolate cobbler, personally. There's also an INSANE amount of variety. Burgers, hot dogs, chicken (fried or grilled), and barbecue. 40+ milkshake flavors. About 12 different side options (including a whole dang quesadilla or an order of chicken nuggets, if fries and/or hush puppies aren't your speed like they are mine). It's open late. The service is crazy fast (as in, done with the drive through in under ten minutes despite there being 8 cars ahead of me fast) and accurate--they haven't messed me up once and I've been more often than I care to admit. If you want a fast, tasty, filling, cheap meal with all the perks of fast food and none of the drawbacks...well, Cook Out is your joint. read more

Cook Out - Chicken tenders, fries, and hush puppies! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Starkville, Mississippi

Stopped by for a quick bite following the football game. Ordered quickly and food was ready promptly. I had a Regular Hamburger with Cheese and a Peach Cobbler Milkshake. Both were really good and I will definitely come back again. read more

Visiting from out of town. We went around 9 pm at night. Service was quick. Food was hot. I enjoyed the flavor of the char grilled Burger. They were a bit messy but full of flavor. Also, the fact that you could get a quesadilla was out of the ordinary so of course I had to try it. ITT was a tasty little oddity. read more

Cook Out - Messy but cheddar burger has a good, homemade chargrill flavor - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Starkville, Mississippi

Cookout is fast food at its finest. This location serves the hungry MSU students in all states of mind. This is where the students under the influence come to spout their ideas of future businesses, life plans, teachers, and beer prices. The cookout tray serves these philosophers greatly. It's cheap, and enough food to satisfy any munchies. A main, a side, and a drink. Good sizes for the price. This place is truly great for any budget The burgers taste like their fresh off of your creepy uncles charcoal grill at the family reunion. They are topped with the usual fixing, unless you opt for the steak style. The steak style is great with the a1 steak sauce. Their fries, which are best in their Cajun style, are always a good consistency. Their corn dogs taste like a frozen corndog, which is what you'd expect for the price. Their chicken wraps are like what you'd make if all you had were leftover tortillas and chicken strips. They are good and spicy. Their nuggets are chicken, like is expected. Their milkshakes are good and thick, hard to get up a straw. Their flavors of shakes are always great. I go here sometimes just for a shake. Overall, cookout is great. After a long night of partying and shots, the burger warms your soul. I love this place and all it represents. read more

Cookout is the place to go if you want to be sick in all the right ways. It's cheap, pretty good, and a great place to make memories.

Great place to eat. Love everything they have. They have the best hamburgers in this area.

I had a taste for a burger and I wanted to try this latest new franchise in Starkville, MS, Cook Out Burgers. This franchise chain originated in North Carolina and has locations in the southeastern states of TN, VA, MD, KY, WV, and GA, The server, I must say was very patient answering all my questions regarding the menu and the types of available side items. I ordered The "Steak Style burger" Cook Out Tray, which consists of 2 sides(of your choice) and a soft drink for $4.99. The burger was "Ok", but not the "OMG" great taste I thought I was going to get. The onion Rings and fries were room temperature which I thought were coming right out of the fryer..maybe next time I hope. Since this location has only been a little over a month, I am sure they are working out the Do's and don'ts of the business and learning the operations. Customer service was good and I hope that continues. Great option for the students there at MS State for late night cravings and for the amount of food you receive price. read more

Cook Out - a bag of fresh hamburgers - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Starkville, Mississippi

See all

Great drunk food it is what it is. Cheap good food. Great service. Great shakes. Cheerwine on the fountain what more could you ask for!!

My experiences are normally okay but the other day the woman in the drive through kept cutting me off as I was playing my order. Because of that, she had my order wrong THEN charged me for what I was missing. I expected her to simply correct her mistake. I was very unhappy. Cutting people off while they're ordering is disrespectful. Do better! read more

There are long lines usually so food is hot. They do splatter the Cajun seasonings all over the place even the wrapper for your burger. Other than that everything still stands in my previous review read more

Got the Cajun ranch wrap, it was so good!!! Got a chocolate milkshake, it was more vanilla with chocolate chips but still very good!!

Decent burgers for cheap. I've definitely had better, but you can't ask for better fast food in Starkville.

So visiting Mississippi I decided to try this place out because of the advertised "watermelon shake". Yeah the shake wasn't all that unless you're into watermelon. The value for the food you get is okay but it's comparable to a college restaurant setting. The girl who took my order was a little rude and rolled her eyes when I tried to order and ask her questions since I have never been here. Talking to her friends while I ordered. Most of the staff is like 23 and under so all kids. The quesadilla was cheap made but don't know why I expected more when the whole meal was $5.44 read more

It was late and not many restaurants to choose from. Want many cars in the drive thru but the service was slow. Even though the service was slow, my order was right & my good was hot & freshly made. read more

It's good for fast food! They have thousands of combinations for only $5 each. Their milkshakes are amazing. The only complaints I have are about the wait, the traffic, and the fact that they consistently get my order wrong. read more

Not what we were expecting for a burger joint. Service wise was okay fast friendly and professional from the drive thru... Was in a hurry so we opted not to go in for our first visit...a Def no no for this place because the menu is so overwhelming.... We ordered 2 of the regular cheddar cheese burgers which is a burger with sautéed onions cheese and bacon and 2 large drinks for a total of 11.27... not bad not good either but... the burger comes wrapped in foil and damn near dipped in grease... so glad I asked for napkins before I drove off...so if you looking for a quick snack yeah give em a try but for a real burger meal pass them up... We jus may be a little biased because we are burger fanatics but we do know our burgers and that's not going to be on our list of return trips... read more

Update on my last review. Me and my husband decided to give this location a second try... we both currently have horrible food poisoning.

Ordering at the counter was friendly and our number was called quickly. We ordered the $5.25 combo, each of us a burger and two sides, fries are good, loved the hushpuppies, even the onion rings were pretty good. Above the average fast food! read more

I love this restaurant (you get tons of food for super cheap and it's usually very fast) but almost every time i go, there's an issue with my order. if i order two different sides with a tray, i usually get a lot of one and a couple pieces of the other. also, if i ask for onions on my hot dog, i get WHOLE PIECES. who likes that? like i said, i enjoy this place but it's getting annoying with the crappy customer service. read more

It was a good cheeseburger! Their sides are super random. I got fries, my husband got a quesadilla lol BUT he said it was good! And it was cheap IMO! Clean restaurant and nice people read more

Baby Fox likes late night cheese sticks and likes to spend money on daddy's Harley Card so that's why i gave it 4 outta 5. 5 would be she didn't drag my tired ass along for the ride. read more

Some of the best food available in Starkville! I wish they could move to a bigger location (or a location with a bigger parking lot) so that everyone who wants to squeeze in could! The drive-thru line gets some kind of long, and for good reason! Try the white cheddar cheese bites and Cheerwine! read more

The line for cookout used to back up into the highway, but tonight there was a guy redirecting the drive thru in a way that created two lines. Who ever thought of this is a genius and deserves a raise! Super easy and didn't conflict with traffic read more

This is a great place for a late-night snack, but is quite busy. Some times the orders are correctly recorded through drive thru, so I recommend going inside. The burgers are flavored like they came straight off the grill in your backyard. The other sides are alright but the milkshakes are amazing because they have so many flavors read more

There's literally no where else in Starkville you're going to get a full course meal for $5. Their 3.99 barbecue plate is my favorite. Best, most cheap fast food place I've eaten. Food is high in calories, but what fast food place isn't? Their spicy chicken sandwich isn't too bad on calories and it's super good! Also this is a Christian restaurant. Bible verses written on all of their cups and bags, and they play Christian music inside! Good, clean atmosphere. read more

I really wish I could just have put no stars. My husband and I went for our first trip to the restaurant in Oxford , Ms. The prices were alright but the food and the service....No! The girl behind the counter o my word. We told her it was our first time to the restaurant and we asked her what was good and she said " I don't know, get something and try it" seriously??? I wanted to leave then but we were driving all day and wanted to get something to eat. When we got our order it wasn't all there so I went back to the counter and the same girl was there. I told her we were something something and she kept saying "are you sure?" And "did you double check?" Like seriously??? Please do not waste your time at this location. WILL NEVER RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT. read more

One of the first things you may recognize when you first peruse the menu is "Best Deal in Starkville". I wholeheartedly agree. For $5, you get an entree (burger, hotdog, quesadilla, BBQ, etc.), 2 sides (fries, onion rings, quesadilla, etc.) and a drink or large tea. The food is always hot and delicious, and the wait has been consistently short, even when the place is packed. If you're looking for a cheap and quick bite with tasty food, Cook Out has your back! read more

Im pretty familiar with Cookout chain, I've been to the Atlanta location several times and loved it. I went through the drive-thru and the lady was very nice and patient (even at 1:30 AM) and had all our 3 separate orders perfect. The food was good not great tho. I got the big double burger with hush puppies and fries. The fries seemed a little old and the burger was a tad greasy but other than that I enjoyed it. Definitely will come again; it's convenient and a good amount of food for an affordable price. read more

I have been eating cookout for 3 years and the service has always been great and quick ,but the last 2 times I've been I've gone through the drive through and have gotten the complete wrong order. Its not that they have been busy they just are not paying attention. Maybe it's the staff maybe they just don't care but they need to fix it. read more

This is the perfect place for college students! It's open all night and it isn't too expensive. They also rarely have a long wait time and the food is pretty good. read more

STAY AWAY FROM COOKOUT ! It has another name "s*-out". This food is so greasy and has a taste that makes your stomach broil. If you eat it, the next 5 minutes you'll be sprinting to the bathroom. Went there and the line was stretched down highway 12, which is a total inconvenience. On top of waiting almost 30 minutes, the food makes you sick to your stomach once again. It doesn't make sense to spend money on burgers that are smaller than the ones you buy from McDonald's. I also paid for a tray and received no drink but was charged for one. The staff are friendly but doesn't make up for the horrible food they make. The fries are as if a whole bottle of salt has been dumped on top of them. I strongly suggest you to stay away from here or you won't be able to stay away from the bathroom. Your guts will literally be running out of you read more

If you want something that that will fill you up for about $5-6 bucks after tax, this is the place to go. The variety is staggering- in their $4.99 mix and match combo known as "The Tray" (you want it, trust me), you get to choose from approximately ten entrees, ten plus sides (of which you get TWO), and four drink options which includes a float for no additional charge or a milkshake for just a buck more! I've eaten here several times and my personal favorite combo is a cheddar style big double burger, a Cajun wrap, and a chicken quesadilla. It is fast food, but it's seriously the best fast food place I've ever been to. read more
