    Milkshakes are super good but SUPER thick

    We were in the mood for some delicious and no-frills food, and Cookout met the moment. I'm not from the South, but many of my friends are, and they have been singing Cookout's praises for years. I finally had a chance to see the hype for myself today. So glad I did. We both got Trays with Double Cheeseburgers and Cajun fries. I had hush puppies as my second side while my travel companion got onion rings, and both of us got chocolate shakes. Zero complaints, every bite of food was delicious. My friends talked about how good Cookout is for half a decade - and still undersold it. It is elite fast food. It is stellar roadside food. It is the BEST possible version of what you'd expect from skimming the menu/taking a peek inside. Perfectly cooked burger, plenty of cheese, fries have great seasoning, and the chocolate shake is the perfect amount of chocolate. And the staff member who helped us was genuinely the best part of the outing. I wish I caught his name, but he was an extremely friendly guy with light hair and a baseball cap. He cracked jokes and put us in a great mood, which plenty of cashiers do, but this guy was above and beyond. He made everything so much better. Even if the food sucked I would go back for the friendly vibes. But the fact that the food hit the spot? I can't recommend Cookout enough.

    The last couple of times I've ordered in the drive thru they got my order wrong! Missing the pickles and the bacon was chewy when I asked for crispy well done bacon. The chicken nuggets (only 3 small pieces) were not good.

    Bacon Cheeseburger tray with Cajun Fries and Hushpuppies..

    Just recently I had a chance to drop in at Cookout in Williamsburg, VA during Memorial Day weekend. Now I haven't had the chance to experience in a min.. The last time I recall I had we was when wifey and I was in Nashville, TN.. Nevertheless, this spot in VA wasn't a bad. However, it was just me this time so I didn't order as many items as I normally post here.. This time I just ordered a Bacon Cheeseburger food tray with cajun fries and hush puppies and of course Cookies-n- Cream Milk Shake.. It didn't make 5 stars but I will definitely give it a strong 4 stars.. Everything was hot and fresh and MilkShake was just how like, with the spoon instead of straw! Bottomline is, I'll recommend Cookout in Williamsburg, VA!!

    We were in the area and our first thought was Cook Out (wish they had them in New York). Love the fact they are so affordable and good. The burgers are truly grilled (and you can request charcoal grill). We got a great recommendation for shake, the gentleman referred us to the banana berry which was awesome and berry-licious The establishment is clean and spacious, parking available outside. They also have a drive thru. The staff extremely patient and friendly. The service was great.

    incomplete barbecue plate
    José N.

    Went there wary tonight and was offered an extra barbecue plate as an apology for the other night, it's great to know that they acknowledged it and compensated. I take it all back, they're alright. Old and outdated review: Updated review: went there tonight and got a barbecue plate missing the fries and the hushpuppies. Don't come here and leave before checking if you got EVERYTHING you ordered because those incompetent idiots don't bother with telling you about it. I'm going to stop coming here and start going to Wawa where you get more food for a better price and a better service.

    Motch biting in!!

    A WHOLE lot of food for an incredibly reasonable price. Staff moved their lines quick and the food was good enough for the price.

    Pretty standard food. Burger and chicken sandwich were nothing to write home about. The ice cream milk shake was great.

    It wasn't my cup of tea.. If you're looking for a price deal, this would be a good place to go.

However, I would not recommend the brownie and chocolate sundae dessert. The brownie and cookie were cold and hard, which made the dessert disappointing. On the positive side, the carrot cake was huge and definitely worth sharing -- easily enough for 3-4 people. The service was excellent as well. Our waiter was very attentive throughout the meal and made sure everything was taken care of. Overall, Second Street American delivers great food variety, strong service, and a family-friendly atmosphere, with just a few misses on dessert.

Low and behold there is a Freddy's in Williamsburg, so we decided to take a little "part-of-the-day trip" to chrck it out. Upon entry, everyone working there greeted us and were super friendly. It was pretty busy in there, and i found the tables and chairs to be super close together and i felt a little claustrophobic. Maybe it was the abundance of the color red. The lady who took our order at the counter was very patient while we figured out the menu, which is mostly smash burgers in a variety of iterations, along with a variety of sides. I ordered a "single cheeseburger " with a side of shoestring fries. The cheeseburger is actually a smashburger that is practically a paper-thin "burger". It was very bland, to be honest. Their burgers, unless otherwise specified, come with pickles, mustard, and onions. The shoestring fries were awesome. Simple, not greasy. My husband got 2 Steakburger Tacos, which he said were "just okay". He also got a side of tots, which he found to be overly greasy. We couldn't leave without trying some of Freddy's Frozen custard. I had a small cone of vanilla, which if blind-taste-tested against McDonald's soft serve, i wouldn't have been able to tell the difference. Which is fine. We also got a chocolate malt shake, which was super good. Was it worth the drive? Meeeeehhh. The best things were the shoestring fries and the milkshake. Oh, they also serve Pepsi products. This is the first time that I have ever seen Pepsi Zero in a soda machine at a fast food restaurant. That was pretty cool. It's the little things. Would we go again? Unless there was a much closer location in RVA, probably not.
