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.

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.

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

Rick's Cheesesteak Shop is worth the hype! I popped in for dinner just before closing on a Monday…read more The man behind the register was very friendly. I ordered their original cheesesteak with several toppings- jalapenos, grilled onions, and grilled mushrooms. The eight inch (the smaller of the two options) was more than enough food for one. The meat is loaded on. I used a fork to eat some of it so it wouldn't fall out. They sell Coca-Cola products, including Cherry Coke. The sandwich itself was very tasty! The cheese it comes on is out of this world. Inside, there are murals, tables, and a few places to charge your phone.

Legit.... this is the OG Rick's Cheesteak Shop. Like OG OG... they kept the original recipe and…read morehave the food to back it up. Me n my buddy did a whirl of cheesesteak places in the Hampton Roads area. I knew about this place because of our adventures in Williamsburg. I kept boasting about how good it was, so much so we drove from Chesapeake to Williamsburg JUST to eat dinner here. Is it that good? YES.. it's that good. I don't know what more to add other than the fact that if you're a Cheesesteak fan, it is mandatory to come visit here - you won't be disappointed. Food Taste: 5 Overall Service: 5 Value of service to cost: 5 Facility: 5 Ambiance: Very small place that doesn't have a lot of decor but that's ok.. the food rocks Repeat customer: yeah Dog Friendly: outdoor seating

My wife had the Cobb salad and added a burger patty..she loved it! I had the mushroom swiss burger( double w/pink ) and goodness it was delish and I had the side salad which was very refreshing..

The staff were very nice and you could tell they all got along very well, we had a few different servers because they were all helping and being attentive. We appreciated that. If we ever did come back (visiting from NC), it would be for that. Negative: the food just wasn't good. It was alright. The gravy wasn't what I was expecting- like thin and watery, which is just a personal preference but it tasted vinegary? . My burger taste wise was good and filling. Cheese was melted and yummy, I did not like the bun, again personal preference and all that. Had the Brussels sprouts for app, partner didn't like it, I believe it was the sauce again vinegary but I didn't mind them. It was a nice surprise. Partner also had chili hot dog which looked amazing ; also just tasted alright. Overall nothing to rave about.
