    the menu of a restaurant
    Chris H.

    Let me preface this review by saying that I have never ordered from cookout before, other than an occasional milkshake, so I decided to get some lunch.I pulled up in the drive thru and was told to standby. I wasnt sure why I needed to wait. There was only one other car in the other lane. I did as I was asked and began to look at the menu. That was a mistake. It made no sense. All I wanted was a burger and fries but this was like navigating a space launch. i waited for about 15 minutes and eventually left. The person who told me to wait never came back. Horrible service and for Gods sake make the menu simpler.

    Driving Interstate 75 to Atlanta can be an adventure. Both the good and bad kind. Funny how every time I stop to fill up the gas tank, I can never get my receipt at the pump. I have to "see cashier" inside for my receipt. And with fast food restaurants, I am better going to the drive thru for my purchase. Not due to the pandemic, but due to all of the crazy/stupid stuff I have had to deal with. Such as being at a McDonald's in Cordelle, Georgia. I am at the counter giving the cashier my order, only for them to stop in the middle of me placing an order and proceed to assist another customer. And this happened on two separate visits. Or the time I was standing at the counter in a Zaxby's in Adel, Georgia looking at the menu. And I have a guy panhandling me for money while the employees ignored what was happening. Almost to a point where I do not feel like even stopping. But seeing this Cook Out location in Tifton, I decided to give it a try. Founded in Greensboro, North Carolina, in 1989, there are several throughout the southeast. Pulling up to the drive thru, the gentleman working the window welcomed me and asked for my order. And believe me, there are many choices. I said hello and told him that being my first visit, I needed a moment. So let me break it down. You order your "tray", which includes your choice of a burger, hot dog, quesadilla (chicken or beef), chicken sandwich (regular, cajun, spicy, BBQ), chicken strips, or barbecue sandwich. And then you get your choice of two sides. I ordered the regular burger, which is two regular hamburger patties, with lettuce, tomato, and mayo. I selected onion rings and hush puppies for my two sides. Other sides offered are French fries, cheese bites, chicken bites, corn dog, quesadilla, cole slaw, and chili. You get all that? Oh, and your order includes a large beverage. My food was served hot with just a few minutes wait. My burger had that "back yard cook out" taste that they advertise. It was really good. The onion rings were hot and crispy, and the hush puppies were tasty. They are, however, just deep fried cornbread bites. Unlike the seasoned hush puppies you would get at a seafood restaurant. I ordered a Coke for my beverage. And Cook Out also has many flavored milkshakes available. And during the month of December, they feature an egg nog milkshake. During July-August, a watermelon milkshake is served. My food was good, but I wish they had a few different offerings for sides. Such as corn on the cob, potato/macaroni salad, or baked beans. Like what you would have at your back yard cook out. I will most likely stop in here again when I am driving up to Atlanta again. And I do not have to worry about anyone panhandling me at the drive thru. Oh, I just remembered. That happened to me at the McDonald's drive thru on South Orange Avenue in Orlando. And I did not have my morning coffee when the guy approached my vehicle. Dude, not a wise move!

    The food is nasty with bad servants. The restrooms were dirty with "stuff" on the seat. We didn't get what we ordered.

She checked back on us several times, and recommended we stop back in on our way back to Florida. Spouse ordered the smoked pork chop lunch with mashed potatoes, green beans, and cornbread: it was all delicious, especially the chop! I ordered the pulled pork lunch with fries, squash casserole, and cornbread. My favorite sauce was the Sweet & Tangy: I used it on the pork as well as my fries. The squash was flavorful (yum) but I did pick out some of the breadcrumbs in order to get straight squash flavor--so good! Finally, I'm in love with their cornbread! When we do come back in our travels, I may just order cornbread and butter as my dessert! Highly recommend this place, and be sure to say hello to Server Denise (she said to call her that, as the owner is also named Denise! Fun!

While yes the food is better than fast food and it's nice to stop for a family lunch during a long drive at a place with lots of options, not sure we'll make this stop again. The chicken finger platter is a plate of concession stand chicken fingers, nothing special (or good). The ribs are dry while simultaneously wet but not in a rib winning competition way. Mac and cheese is on the menu so that pleased the younger crowd. Kids cheeses burger was a sad thing Pattie with unmelted cheese on top. Unfortunately, I kept getting bombarded by tiny flies during my meal that really distracted from the (indoor) dining experience. I'm not sure if it was the sodium or brain overthinking but left nauseous and ready for a cleanse - body and mind.
