    Cook Out Style Hot Dog
    Hammed A.

    An OK experience at Cook Out in Virginia Beach, VA. I heard good reviews about this place and I wanted to give it a try. My experience was take-out via drive-thru. The customer service was just OK. The menu was elaborate, however, I was skeptical about some of their menu items and whether or not the quality would be any better than frozen, store bought food like their vast array of grilled and frozen chicken. They have traditional "cook out" items like burgers and hot dogs and all-American sides such as fries and onion rings. Some of their sides, like corn dogs and onion rings, seem a bit unconventional. I ordered the Cook Out Style Hot Dog which is topped with chili, mustard, onions, and coleslaw. I wasn't a fan of this hot dog primarily because I the coleslaw was just too much of a flavor contrast and made the hot dog more sloppy than it already needed to be with the chili. I'll give them another try if in the area. Give them a shot.

    Rude cashier "Robert"
    Tammy V.

    Our first experience at Cook Out was disappointing. The cashier displayed a poor attitude and unhelpful customer service, making our inquiries feel unwelcome. Especially with her nasty attitude and ghetto neck rolling. The cleanliness of the restaurant was lacking, particularly near the soda machine. The BBQ sandwich was dry and flavorless, only improved by a touch of Louisiana hot sauce they add to it, while the burger was similarly lacking in moisture. The highlight of the meal was the cheese quesadilla. The fries and onion rings were just that. Unfortunately, we will not be returning. Our ticket says the cashier was "Robert" but it was an older woman who took our order. Maybe her name is Robert.

    It was vanilla and cappuccino but we ate it all

    Went here tonight with my mom and niece for milkshakes. Sometimes I get my favorites when I don't feel like being fun, but normally I switch it up. Tonight I tried the cappuccino and was not a fan. We ordered the cappuccino, two vanillas and a blueberry. I couldn't tell the difference between the vanillas and the cappuccino. They all looked the same. It tasted like vanilla to me too. The only reason I knew it was cappuccino is because there was a "c" on the lid. I also asked my mom, who hates coffee, to try it and tell me. She said it was most definitely cappuccino. Obviously I wouldn't get this flavor again. In case you're wondering, my favorites are watermelon, orange push-up, chocolate strawberry, and chocolate peanut butter. I can't wait for peppermint chip next month! Five stars because it's always great every time I come here. It's not their fault I just happened to dislike my milkshake this one time.

    Combo tray order with chicken sandwich, 2 sides --chicken nuggets and cheese bites
    Sylvie C.

    I cannot recall the last time I have gotten takeaway food this bad in a long long time. In fact, I don't know if I've ever had something this bad in all of 2+ decades of living in the US. Really. Like ever. We got two $5.99 Combo Trays with strawberry and vanilla shakes. One tray consisted of grilled chicken sandwich and the other with beef quesadillas. Both contained the same sides: chicken nuggets and cheese bites. The portion size was terrible. Each trays got exactly 3 pieces of chicken nuggets and 4-5 pieces of cheese bites. The chicken nuggets were ok. And the cheese bites were either hollow and had no cheese inside or consisted entirely of fried batter and breading. The grilled chicken sandwich was dry and contained excessive amounts mayonnaise. The beef quesadilla was one of the saddest things I've ever had and tasted in the US. The cheese wasn't melted and it had crumbles of hamburger meat. You should watch the videos of it peeling itself off from the tortillas. Ugh. This really ought not be called a beef quesadilla of any sort. In sum, just don't go there and waste your time or money. It truly isn't worth it.

    Double cheese with jalapeños and bacon.

    Burgers were good, jalapeños and other vege toppings were fresh and crunchy on our burgers, which was a plus. But good lord, that menu is absurd and not user friendly if you don't frequent the place. And that's all Cook-Outs that I've been through. Streamlining the menu would go a long way vs throwing every option known to man on multiple menus. The picture isn't flattering but the taste was.

    I've been here twice and both times were OK. You can't really beat the price for a burger and shake for under $7. The location is off General Booth. It's a newer build out. Parking is a challenge with a small lot that's dead end. I had to park at their neighbors lot one time. There was some about of debris on the walk up. They do offer a drive up window. I found the dining room was decent size and mix of booths with tables and chairs. Both times there was debris on the floor and tables dirty. The first time I was with a group of kids taking my son in for first time. Service was good, they were really busy. Everyone got burgers and varieties of shakes. They have tons of options to choose from on milkshakes. The kids all enjoyed themselves. My burger and strawberry shake was good. The quality of the shake was meh to me. The second time there was an issue with no one up front for a minute or so. I got a bbq sandwich. It was afternoon on a weekday and not too busy. My table was clean. The dining room looked much better than first time. My order was called and I sat down and unwrapped it. The sandwich did not look like much, but was surprisingly good. It also had a decent about of bbq. The bun was fresh. After two tries a 3.5 rounding down seems like a good place to put them. I will not rush back, but can see me trying again.

    Unshooken shake aka just ice cream although ordered shake
    Ariana K.

    I was really excited to go here since I am from out of state and we don't have these although there are really bad reviews I decided to give it a try the only thing is the lady was kind of rude besides that we still ordered got our food which was great a little dry but it came up really quickly and you can tell they pre cook which isn't bad at all besides the food my husband got a milkshake and like every review says it was not shooken at all his eyes were popping out of his head trying to suck the shake through the straw if you want a milkshake I'd go else where but if you want some good fast food this is the place to go !

    This Cook Out opened a few months ago and is located on General Booth Blvd., just south of the Dam Neck Rd. intersection. The signage outside is easy to see and is in the same overall shopping center as Big Lots and other stores and restaurants. I have not done the drive through here when I come. I have always done my orders and eaten inside the place. Each Cook Out seems to have some type of theme inside each of their stores. This one is no exception and has a theme of military (all branches represented), which is fitting for the location. There is quite a bit of seating in here as well. The restrooms are at the end of the seating area. Through my several visits here, I have had a bunch of different items from the menu. I have always done one of their Cook Out Trays, which includes an entree, two sides, and a drink. I generally switch up between the two hot dogs, the big double burger, and the Cajun chicken sandwich as the entree portion of the tray. The food has always been good (hot and to order) and they tend to be bargain priced for what you get when compared to other fast food locations nearby. On most visits, I have not had any issues. There was one time where the cashier at the front looked like they just didn't want to be there. Otherwise, it has been a very good experience with the staff at this location. If you're looking for a different fast food place than the national chain ones, this place should fit that fancy. Great food, great prices, and an overall good experience says that you should try this place out as well.

    Milkshakes

    Last night my family went for a milkshake run and when we got home, we discovered that these shakes weren't worthy of bringing any boys to the yard. The service was not only slow, but the mix ins were thrown on top without being blended. We were highly disappointed in what was once a great late night treat.

You can't go wrong with their ube or peach mango pie, fried chicken, pineapple juice, and spaghetti. People tend to not realize this is fast food. It's nothing too fancy but it can hit the spot. I love Jollibee's mission and theme of togetherness. Recently, I went in for their Final Fantasy collab since I love that video game series. I loved how cute the packaging and merch were. Our meal box came with free FF x Jollibee stickers and they were so adorable! The design on the cups was super cute too. I usually do online pick up orders, which go smoothly. However, the day I went to sit down was super busy. I think it was the Sunday post-church rush. We waited a little over 30 minutes. I wasn't too upset because I see the staff working hard, and I assumed I just came in at the wrong time. Either way, I'll be back! Take advantage of their rewards system!

Before ordering, I used the restroom--and that's where things really went downhill. While I was inside, I heard someone finishing up obviously changing their pad and then quickly leaving with the wipes and feminine items in hand without washing their hands. It turned out to be an employee, which was extremely concerning. They left so fast that I couldn't identify who it was. For a first impression, this was honestly disgusting, shocking, and off-putting. Cleanliness and hygiene are non-negotiable, especially in a restaurant. Unfortunately, this experience completely turned me off. Then it took FOREVER to get the food. While they had a lot of chicken ready to go it seemed like they fulfilled orders every 5 minutes. Lots of employees were walking in circles in the back seemingly not knowing what they were supposed to be doing. And to top it all off I was charged twice bringing the total to around $50 for mid tasting food. This error was corrected quickly. 4/10 -- would not recommend.

The spice level on the red pepper sauce was there but not overwhelming. But the chicken, oh my lord the chicken. The snow onion was an experience I've never had with chicken before. We've had Korean style fried chicken many many times but never like this. I'm not even sure how to describe the flavor. Savory with the sweetness of a good Vidalia onion and a hint of heat.

We were also recommended by the nice lady that they just started doing fried rice so we tried it as well. It also did not disappoint. Very flavorful but the kid ate most of it and they're picky. Seriously though I can't recommend this place enough. Please go support this awesome little family. If we're ever in the area again, we will for sure stop back in.
