    2 drinks.

    One of the few options when nothing else is open and you don't want McDonald's. Came here after a night squad of a bowling tournament. You'd think being in a college town, there'd be several places open until at least midnight. Nope. Anyways drove by this to see a long line. It must be good right? It's ok. I was confused by the menu and ended up with two full meals. Food was ok. Sides are good. Probably a place to go to when nothing else is open.

    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.

    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.

They also came with fries or onion rings, funnel cake fries, and a drink of your choice. Two of the guys had the root beer and said it was pretty good. Now as for the dogs, the two guys that had the coneys were happy with them, although one was hoping for a little more spice from the chili, but it was by no means bad. The burnt ends dog was said to be pretty freaking good. As for the American dog, we'll that was a different story. It wasn't a bad dog, but it tasted like it had been boil cooked and not cooked on the griddle. Additionally, it wasn't really that warm. I guess warm is a good description for it. It would have been better if it was hot and you could see some cooking marks on it. Alas, it was and had neither. But again, it wasn't a bad dog, but it could have been much better. The onion rings were pretty tasty though, as were the funnel cake fries and crinkle cut fries. This night was Wednesday, so it was trivia night. At 6:30. At about 6:00 people really started to come in, and by 6:30, the place was packed. Guess trivia night is a big hit... The people working there were super friendly and you fealt as if they were happy to be there. I would have given it 5 stars, but tbe warm dog just brought my experience down a bit. But don't let that stop you from going there, because you'll probably have a good time with good food and good people.

I don't know what the difference is between this Rick's and the other ones, but this one feels the most authentic and just what a cheese steak should be. The seasoning is simple, nothing overpowering. The bread could use more toasting, but it compliments the meat seasoning very well. When it comes to Cheese Steaks, it doesn't get more authentic and true to taste than this. I like the fact that they also have some great chicken cheese steaks (the fam isn't a fan of straight steak) with the same level of attention to detail as the original. Overall, I highly recommend this place if you're in the area. it's a big, big, win. Food Taste: 5 Overall Service: 5 Value of service to cost: 5 Facility: 5 Ambiance: The inside is very simple.

My husband and I each got one of their special meal deals -- $5.99 each for a double cheeseburger (husband), loaded jumbo hot dog (me), crinkle fries, and small fountain sodas. The double burger was disappointing. While the bun was tasty, and it was served hot, the burgers tasted like frozen burgers, were relatively small, and were served "plain" -- without lettuce, tomatoes, or any other add-ons. The hot dog was tasty, served with chili, mustard, and raw onions though the mustard was a bit heavy for my taste. Crinkle fries tasted fresh, and were hot, but a bit over-salted. Our go-to fountain drinks were Diet Dr. Pepper, but they tasted watered down. Value (5/5). We received a good amount of food for under $7 each (with taxes), a reasonable price in this inflationary period. Staff/service (5/5). Staff were excellent. We were waited on promptly and politely. Ambiance. (5/5). Fine for a fast food restaurant. Clean. Almost no additional patrons when we were there. Location off I-64. Easy enough to find and to park, but you so need to drive a few miles off the highway.
