    Assessment completed....I wasted my money
    Sidéwon Andre N.

    Let's keep this one simple. 2nd time here. Not impressed. This place is Overhyped to the MAX. 1st off. The bun taste like the most basic bread ever. Literally when my tongue hit the bread I jerked my head back....It's that basic.... Once you get past that, the patties are super small and the toppings are cut too thick. Tomato is too thick, onion was maybe 2/8 of an inch thick and pickles cut lengthwise. It's more juice than a BK burger.... This is no lie, but you can grill a burger at home and it would be better than this. Fries aren't so bad and the white cheddar bites were tasty! Staff was friendly! Drive Thru employee smiled, offered me to try all their sauces and service was fast! They do offer Hidden Valley Ranch in small containers which I thought was cool. They also have a tasty Buffalo and Polynesian sauce. The Cookout sauce I can tell taste great with chicken.... Prices are the selling point. For a "Combo" known as a tray bill was around $5 and change. That was including a drink, and 2 patties on a burger. Cheddar bites added about an extra $2 for a total of $7.12.... Not bad at all! I think the entire State of NC just needs to stop with the food game. GA has that on lock. Every food place I've been to with roots in NC is a wash and Cookout is one of them....Sry.

    Homemade Chargrilled Burger selections!!

    After a long drive from IND and arriving! I searched for best burgers and this was highly rated! The regular single Original style was perfectly cooked as it was so juicy, tender...drop the mic! Fast food burger with an inexpensive price. This included not one but two side choice and drink. I had to try the delicious crispy cajun fries! I did not expect the White Cheddar Cheese bites to be filled with so much cheesy and perfectly crispy!!

    Manager who disregarded me and shun me off.

    My first experience there was horrible. I found hair in my food and the manager would not refund me my money nor did he want to talk abt the situation. He hung up on me when I called and when I went up to the location he went to the back. After 10-15min I had to ask for him again and when he finally came bk to the front he totally disregarded me . Telling me he had nothing to do with that situation because it wasnt his shift. That he has other customers that he has to take care of like I wasnt a paying customer. I just wanted to be acknowledged abt the situation and at least receive my money back. The long piece of hair strand was inside of my mouth as if that wasnt detrimental. No accountability at this location. No one practicing good hygiene or wearing the proper head wear to prevent hair from falling into the food. This is a rachette location. Once I posted my video on Tiktok because I was being ignored, one girl from the Cook Out was stalking my page. Its horrible.

    Double burger

    Food was good. Customer service was smooth. The lady didn't charge me extra for condiments. My corn dog tasted like the fair ones. My chicken wrap was crispy and hot. But my burger......... was ......... atrocious. Just look at the picture and tell me what's wrong.

    Double cheeseburger, Cajun fries, onion rings, and cheese curds
    Gretchen S.

    My hubby wanted to finally try this place recently when I was ordering from Magnolia Room across the street. He's definitely more of a burger guy, so this seemed to be a better option for him. We pulled through the drive-thru - no trouble ordering, the line moved quickly, and the worker was patient with us while we decided what to get. It was around dinner time on a Thursday evening. My love decided to get a double cheeseburger with Cajun fries, onion rings, and a shake with chocolate chip cheesecake, Oreo, and coffee added in. I decided to try the cheese curds as an appetizer for my meal. The worker at the window was super nice and friendly. Everything came out promptly and tasted fresh, was cooked thoroughly but not overdone and seemed to be in good order. My guy said the burger was okay. He got it with the works on it, but he said he might explore some of their other options next time - maybe try another burger or meal. He said it was better than the one he had from The Varsity before though. The onion rings and fries were good - standard, but good. The best item was probably the cheese curds - great flavor and cooked to perfection. Our least favorite (but still an okay item) was the shake. It had too many chocolate chunks in it from the chocolate chip cheesecake topping and seriously lacked cheesecake flavor. The added Oreo and coffee could also have stood out more but it didn't. You can't compare it to Sonic's Oreo coffee cheesecake shake or any similar Five Guys shake, as it just won't make the cut, but it was decent. We wouldn't get that combo again we agreed and would probably stick to a plain chocolate shake or try another few add-ins. Overall, it was a fine experience though. Good service and decent food. I like that they have options to order different tray set meals - good for couples and families or if you're just hungry and want variety with a good bang for your buck. We'll be back sometime to try other things from this Southern regional chain.

    Can you guess what this was SUPPOSED to be ? Haha honey mustard chicken wrap smh

    I visited this location for the first time Wednesday & loved it ! So Friday night I decided to take my kids and it was horrible! Normally the shakes are thick this time they were so watery it was like thick milk and I ordered 3 . Even though we waited about 20 mins the food still seemed rushed ! I won't take that 30 min drive anymore!!!

    Someone must have been grazing these

    One word- OUTSTANDING!!! This is the old Wendy's just down…read morefrom Northlake Mall, on Lavista Road. It is YELLOW- and yes, you can almost miss it if you are going too fast. A decent size parking lot, a round-robin of customers & I spoke to a few who are repeats- they love it! The restaurant is clean & organized- booths & tables. Charging stations (plugs) available as well. Walk up counter, place order, wait for your number to be called. Do not be in a rush- made-to-order!! Worth the wait!!! If you are not starving- split a meal with a friend- portions are huge & truly DELICIOUS!!! Ask for sauces, if you want. They have tartare, cocktail & homemade hot sauces. Fresh lemons too. Pepsi products, sweet/unsweetened tea... NO ALCOHOL! Outstanding employees! All so nice! Big menu- ask for one if needed, they have scrolling screens & it is hard to figure out. Menu is best to figure out what you want. Literally EVERYTHING was SO fresh & delicious!!! Mom thought salty, so maybe ask for light/no salt if this is a dietary restriction. They have fresh & fried options. Here are pics of our meals. All left with to-go's. Note, meals are served in to-go containers, not actual plates. The music is fun but WAY WAY WAY too loud. Heads up. I'd truly go back if in town. What an unexpected treat for dad's birthday. He was HAPPY!

I will continue to support this small business.

    Very disappointed. Where are these positive reviews coming from? I cannot relate…read more I am not a pizza person. I really have to be in the mood. Today for lunch, I figured let's try it. Big mistake. They have a really big menu so that's nice, lots of options. But maybe they have too many options because I couldn't make a decision and ultimately chose wrong. I ordered a pizza half weird al, half Frankie valli, it was disgusting. When I got there and opened the box, I immediately knew I messed up. I said to server, I expected the crust to be fuller, she just gave me the bill and walked off. I really wanted to cancel the order because I didn't like the way it looked. Paying for something you don't want sucks. I wanted to say "I don't accept this" but I paid for it smh. Tried the pizza I was stuck with. Bland, flavorless, flat, (insert annoying synonym for tasteless) and only luke warm when it only took me 7 mins to get there from time of order, should have been piping hot. Both pizzas were gross. I ended up throwing it out. Then the salad. They have several options, again, I guess I chose wrong even though I did ask the server what she recommended in both the pizza and salad. Going inside to pick up the pizza, in looking around, it doesn't look the cleanest. Also, I don't think I'm the demographic this business caters too. The pizzas are flavorless. I am done trying pizza places. Antico, Mellow Mushroom, and now Shorty's, all fails. These places make Pizza Hut look like the Ritz! And these places are not cheap. Maybe order something else, but I would not recommend this place if you season your food and like flavor. Complete no. So upset.

This was yet another solid eating experience at this fast food restaurant. I was glad to see that the service is still on point and the dining room is kept in very good shape such that it's better to eat in than take your order to go. Some of the best things in life are found when you're not looking. That's what happened when I first discovered this Grecian Gyros location - over 8 years ago. I'm glad it's still here. Not only that, painting up your business in the colors of the Greek flag is bound to have some marketing value ... it makes you want to drop in if driving along and you like Greek food. In fact, if transiting between Stone Mountain's unique outcropping and park and Atlanta through its east side, you could very easily be coming through here if not using 78 or wanting to shop or run some errands. I know that I plan to come back.

Regardless, Grecian Gyro is still awesome, though their prices have gone way up. After taxes, a gyro with potatoes, pita, and a small salad will run you close to $20 (plate), and a solo Gyro around $10. , If you love Greek food or just want to try something different than I would highly recommend checking this place out. It is a much healthier option. [Review 744] - 17th Review of 2025
