Customer service is the worst out of all the fast food places in Williamsburg. The wait is always 30+ minutes, the food is decent I guess, and affordable but I rarely ever go here due to the bad mood it puts me in afterwards. read more

Not having Cook Out in my hometown, I'd never gotten to try it, but now I will look for this whenever I travel! Good portions for a great price. Make sure to upgrade the tray meal drink to a milkshake--worth the extra $1 and lots of delicious flavors to choose from. I got the double burger and it was fabulous. I thought the portions for the hush puppies and onion rings were a bit small compared to the fries so I would get fries next time if I was hungry. Portions for the cheese curds also seemed a bit on the small side. read more

Delicious burgers and fries they must put crack cocaine in the burgers because I just eating burger after burger and I cannot stop. I love this place highly recommend and it's open super late. read more

Food was good and cheap, per usual. Drive thru was fairly quick as well. They didn't give me the sauce I asked for or the Cajun fries, so that was a bummer. Would def return though. read more

The food is ok (they kept burning my hot dogs...) I've only gotten hot dogs from here whenever I've craved it which was like twice now they have forgotten the ketchup twice already so before u drive off u should ask for some, their milkshake is more of an ice cream consistency but it tastes great and lasts long! Only reason I wouldn't give 5 stars is because of that incident with the ketchup being left out completely but also due to the religious aspect of this place... they put religion into every single product like on my bag there was a psalm thing and then on my milkshake container too which is kinda annoying because I don't want to experience your cult... now that I know their cult status it makes me nervous to go back considering I am part of the lgbtq community and know how crazy these cult people get. Overall the only thing they would have to fix is literally keeping their cult out of businesses, this is how a lot of companies get ruined because they show that they are either racist or homophobic and wouldn't be surprised if this place falls under that category. read more

Drive thru was good consistently moving, speaker wasn't great very abrupt cut off responses biggest complaint Needs TapPay

My group of 12 all had the same sentiment: great! The food was very tasty and plentiful! We had excellent service. When ordering for 12 people we expect some confusion, but the team got it all perfectly right. The milk shakes were wonderful and the variety substantial! On top of this, the value beats all competition. Im recommending you visit this fast food place! read more

I made an account just to say that this place gave me some wicked food poisoning. 30 minutes after I ate half a burger my stomach immediately rejected it. 24 hours later and my stomach is still furious. I don't know what they did to that burger but for the love of god avoid this place unless you want to spend an hour in the bathroom. read more

No option to sit inside. Son wanted a corn dog. Corn dog was quick and cheap. Went twice during our trip.

Very nice employees, great service. Food was terrible, probably my worse meal out. So wanted to like the place, can't see how it has lasted so long in Williamsburg with so many other great choices to eat. Ordered two quesadillas with chicken, two sides (coleslaw and hushpuppies) and a chocolate chip mint shake. The quesadillas cheese was not melted, they were the size of a smartphone and the chicken was unidentifiable. The hushpuppies were good, coleslaw was the size of a bottle cap. I could not drink the shake as it was half filled with chocolate chips. Again, great people/employees...terrible food, un-edible. read more

Late arrival to Williamsburg. Not much open but the typical fast food places. I would consider this place fast food but better. More choices and better burgers. We went back the next night for milkshakes. They are very good and thick. We got a chocolate, fresh banana, banana fudge, and Carmel. Definitely a college kid hang out but worth a stop. read more

Waste of money on my lunch break. Waited in line for 15 mins for them just to get my order wrong. read more

Cook Out - I order a chicken quesadilla and this is what I got. F*cking Cheese. Where is my meat - Burgers Near Me - Williamsburg, Virginia

Milk shakes are the best!! We always visit a cookout for their shakes if we see one. (We are from up North) This particular cook out was fast at the drive thru and very friendly. Can't bet the price either! read more

Tall thin bleach blonde gentleman really made my first experience trying Cookout special! I was very warmly welcomed and he helped guide me through the menu and also made suggestions! I usually feel uncomfortable trying new places so I'm thankful for his positive attitude and welcoming nature. I was surprised at how thick the burger was! I also tried the watermelon shake which had real chunks of watermelon! Absolutely no complaints with the price and the restaurant, although very crowded, was very clean and nice looking. I'll definitely come back and dine at Cook Out again. The only negative thing I found with this place is their use of styrofoam. It's bad for the planet and not really necessary. Food could have been served on a tray or even in a paper box. read more

Ordered a barbecue tray, which was cold...went back inside and requested a hot burger which was lukewarm. I've gotten food poisoning from them in the past and just returned eating there...after today, I won't be returning. read more

I can't believe this place doesn't have any reviews... It's good fast food. And the milkshake possibilities are endless. I'll admit I had a hard time finding this location since I don't think it's listed on their homepage (might be new). I get the cajun chicken tray every time just because it's so good. Also the banana pudding milkshake is heavenly. Not sure about other locations, but here, the wait staff is super friendly and very accomodating, almost like talking to an old friend. read more

I ordered 2 cookout trays, very simple, nothing extra.. they were rang up correctly. When I arrived home the food did not match the order. Nothing was correct and while I was waiting the cashier was yelling out of the window talking to her friend rather than making sure my food was correct. 10/10 would not recommend. read more

I've been to Cookout many times in Vegas. It's really good. I was so excited we have one in my new home of Williamsburg. Big time disappointment. Lobby was "closed" but no signs indicating that. People would go up (including us) and then make their way back to their cars and hit the drive thru. Drive thru worker was very abrupt on the speaker and didn't repeat my order back to me. Got 4 out of 5 items correct on the receipt and then 3 out of 5 correct in the bag itself. Literally the only thing he said to me at the window was my total. No greeting, nothing. Handed me the bag of food and two shakes and shut the window. Felt like I was in a bad sketch comedy. The food was not that great but not absolutely awful. Definitely not worth going back when this town in chock full of great restaurants to explore and patronize. read more

Food was good. Sort of a novelty place. Menu confusing at first; understanding what Trays are. Unless your a local, you don't know that you can add to food for free. Overall it was good because it was different. read more

We stopped in for a quick meal while on vacation. The cashier was extremely friendly and helpful explaining the menu. We ordered and got our food fairly quickly. The food however, was not good. The cheese on the cheese fries was gelatinous goop. The burgers were dry and the fries were mediocre. We did appreciate the fact that they have the nugget ice which is our favorite. Haha. read more

It's okay. I think it hits the spot when you're craving backyard, BBQ cook-out style food. The reason why it's not a 5 star for me is that the workers in the drive-thru are very stingy with sauces. I ordered $30 worth of food. I asked for ketchup and he gives me a single packet of ketchup. Like are you for real? Hook it up with the sauce my guy. Otherwise, food and service is good. But stop being frugal with the sauce. read more

I enjoyed this restaurant, it seems to cater to college students who are recovering from hangovers after big frat parties. Probably the one thing that really made the trip worthwhile was the price. Myself and two of my friends got three meals for just $18. The food was fairly tasty. I had a bacon cheeseburger with fries and hushpuppies. They were good, I hear that the chicken tenders and quesadillas are amazing, but I didn't try them. I'll be back the next time I'm in Williamsburg. read more

Cheap food, decent taste. The milkshakes are what does it for me. They are so delicious. The food is typical fast food. You get a main dish and two sides. I always opt for the burger and the cheese curds. They are awesome. read more

It's 210am. I understand it's late but we have been in the drive through for 40 minutes and have moved 4 cars. Let's get ourselves together and pretend to care about the late night crowd. 45 minutes... Edit: did not receive my hamburger after almost an hour and verifying it 3 times with staff. Jesus. read more

I wish I could leave a no star review because the customer service was HORRIBLE! So after a long day at water country usa me and my family decided to go get something to eat late night nothing was open besides cook out so we went there the guy who was running the drive through Skinny dark male he had like dread locks or something he was very rude he said "FUCK" a few times and it was so unprofessional i didn't even get my order of food because we wasn't satisfied with his customer service at all! He needs not to work at the drive through read more

Every time I am in the area I stop in a Cookout. The food is always tasty and priced right.

It was our first night in Williamsburg & we had just driven 6 plus hours from Maryland. It was late & we didn't have much to choose from as most everything closes by 9-10pm. We decided to go to the Cookout. They specialize in BBQ sandwiches. So trying to order I could barley understand the person taking my order. The speaker was very loud & muffled. So we quickly ordered our food praying it was going to be good. Thank goodness it was pretty good for a fast food place. My son & husband were both satisfied but my sandwich I ordered the BBQ sandwich & was like a pile of mush. I expected the meat to be pulled but this seemed more like it was Purée. read more

If you prefer cheap eat over quality food than Cook Out is the place to go. Better burgers than Burger King, Wendy's, Sonic & McDonalds. For quality burgers, go elsewhere, such as Five Guys. On a budget, Cook Out is the spot! Descent burgers for less than $6 with fries & a drink (add $1 for milkshakes). read more

A very affordable and tasty place to eat! So much cheaper and better to eat than any fast food place. There are so many different options from burgers to chicken to quesadillas. Our family of 5 ate here for $35. No up charge for milkshakes with the combo meals. Thoroughly impressed! read more

The chicken strip tray was perfectly made , love love love the crispy chicken nuggets & tea was just right !

I did not know what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised with what I received. So, as soon as I entered I knew I was at a fast food establishment. The menu is not complicated, and meals are comparable to other fast food burger places (except five guys). I ordered the Big Double tray (combo) with bacon. It comes with 2 sides so I opted for fries and chicken nuggets. I still did not know what to expect. On a side note, I was told I get any condiments on the burger that I wanted, but see that the tomato was $0.10. I may have missed it on the menu, but did not know it was an added charge. All in I spent $5.84 + tax, so not breaking the bank. Digging in I started with the fries. Fresh and well salted. Not too crunchy, but not over saturated with oil (mushy). Halfway through I located my nuggets (3), and was not impressed. They were reminiscent of the old pink slim, possibly chicken flavored, nuggets of the 80's. Lastly, the Big Double with bacon was comparable to a double hamburger with bacon from McD's. However, I felt the flavor was better, meaning there was actually flavor. Also, it was well put together. My condiments (ketchup, mustard, lettuce and tomato) were well balanced for the small burger. More than a baby squirt of ketchup and mustard, and not overwhelmed with the lettuce or tomato. Overall, I am an average sized mid-30's guy, and got enough food for less than $7. Note: I am old and have a shrinking appetite. If your young, you may need more, but the value at Cook Out wont break you. If I lived around the area I would definitely return to try out other items on the menu. read more

My friend and I pulled up to the second window around 2:45am, we were then told the window wasn't working and to go to the first window. Well after waiting 20 minutes for a register issue which we weren't informed about, we were given our food. There was no apology, nothin...this cookout sucks read more

Let me start by saying the good was really good for a good price and really fresh. But the customer service was way off. 1st I am severely allergic to tomatoes so I ordered a burger without of course. But I had a tomato on my burger once I looked at it. My aunt ordered a double burger, received a single, and my Dad ordered a A1 double burger that turned out to be a regular burger no A1. Everything we ordered was on our receipts but the burgers did not match. read more

Cook Out - My burger that was done the correct way! - Burgers Near Me - Williamsburg, Virginia

I haven't even gotten my food yet but I had such a bad experience ordering that I'm not even looking forward to eating anymore. We are from out of town and heard such great reviews of this place. Came to the location and had a cashier who had the biggest attitude that I've ever seen. She looked like she would have rather been anywhere else. Her name on the receipt was "Lucas" but not sure it was correct considering she was a female. My suggestion fire her. She doesn't have the personality to deal with guests, especially those who don't know what they're doing. read more

Cook Out - We originally found Cookout when traveling to Salisbury University. We were pleasantly surprised to see it here in Williamsburg. - Burgers Near Me - Williamsburg, Virginia

It is Mother's Day and I just left the Cook Out in Williamsburg Virginia. Let me share with you what happened As I sit out here in the parking lot eating this incredible chocolate mint chip milkshake . Very out of the norm for me to even have a milkshake let alone for brunch!.( and when I say "eating" it is because it is so thick and creamy I can't drink it with a straw.) I am in town from Virginia beach for my daughters graduation from the college of William and Mary. She is graduating with a double major so there was one graduation yesterday and another one this afternoon at 1:30. I spent the night in the hotel last night and was halfway kind of expecting that I would have one of my children or their father ask me out to breakfast or lunch for Mother's Day but that did not happen. Instead of feeling sorry for myself I decided to treat myself and splurge on a milkshake at this place called the Cook Out that my daughter always talked about. 40 flavors of milkshakes! My head was exploding with glee. And as I was trying to decide I explained to the drive-in order taker that I was treating myself because I had both children in town and neither asked me out for Mother's Day so I was trying to decide on a milkshake flavor. I had my dog with me and she was going crazy in the backseat assuming that she was going to get a chicken sandwich or hamburger or something that I always give her from the drive-in windows... Since I was getting nothing but a milkshake I asked the order taker if there was some old crusty hamburger bun or cold french fries that I could appease her with. I am assuming that she shared with the employees what I had said to her as there were a few of them gathered around smiling at me as I pulled up for my order. Here is the most amazing thing that just happened... Then the manager came to the window and told me that my milkshake was on the house and also gave me some not up the quality no longer hot chicken nuggets for my dog... This just blew me away and made my day! Thank you to the cookout restaurant for reviving my thoughts about corporate America and food chains! read more

Cook Out - Burgers Near Me - Williamsburg, Virginia

See all

We were down in Williamsburg for a short family vacation and all the family sit-down restaurants on the main drag had a 30+ minute wait for a table. We saw a good number of cars but several open tables at Cook Out and decided to drop in. The menu is overwhelming at first, but once you realize that everything you want is included with the Cook Out Tray Special, the only thing you need to decide upon are the sides. And with the Tray, you get TWO! Fries AND onion rings. Chicken nuggets AND cole slaw! Hush puppies AND chili! And Cook Out is the only place I know that offers a corn dog or a chicken wrap as a side! And the prices were surprisingly affordable, given their opportunity to gouge tourists who are just passing through. You can upgrade your tray with a homemade shake, and you'll still get change for a $10 spot (and I'm talking paper bills, not pocket coins!). Count me as a fan -- I just wish they would expand further north! read more

Cook Out - Counter and soda stand - Burgers Near Me - Williamsburg, Virginia

So, I had cookout for the first time like a year ago (this location) and I was so disappointed. Mainly because all of my friends who went to college in North Carolina would HYPE it. I mean like every homecoming or visit, Facebook pics of cookout. So when I got to Williamsburg, I just knew I was about to PUNISH. It was weak. Only good thing is, they give you a lot for a little. The reason I went back, I needed fast food. So if we're going to rank best fast food for the dollar, yes cookout wins. Lol read more
