Great food and fast service. Plus you have the taste of a cook out. Restaurant was super clean and everyone was so friendly. We don't have this chain where we live so we stop by when we are in the area and on the go. Plus they sponsored the Richmond Raceway NASCAR race. I'm also a big fan of getting two sides with your order and they have cheerwine. IYKYK. read more

I don't usually like to leave negative reviews, but I really felt this needed to be said. The staff at this Cook Out location is consistently rude and dismissive. I'm not even a confrontational person, so I try to stay patient -- but this last experience was just unacceptable. I ordered a Cajun chicken sandwich, and not only did they mess up my order, but the piece of chicken they gave me was so tiny it was almost laughable. The staff was so rude that I couldn't even bring myself to go back and say anything. I just left feeling frustrated and disrespected. At this point, it's clear this location needs real customer service training. People deserve to be treated with basic respect, especially when they're spending their money. I won't be coming back. read more

I had a very disappointing experience at Cookout. The restaurant was extremely dirty. On top of that, the food was terrible .Overall, I would not recommend this location. read more

Good Customer service. Excellent cheeseburger. Very good french fries. The absolutely worst chili that I've ever had. It's hard to imagine that worse chili could be made. I would describe it, but I do not want to ruin your appetite. I can't get the taste out of my mouth. read more

Food is always good but anytime I ask for Cajun fries I get regular fries, even if my order is rung up correctly

Came tonight and asked for the 4 cheesecakes with peanut butter cups and caramel, they put peanut butter on the cheese cake and not the cups. The phone number hung up on me so this is probably the only way they'll see this. read more

Ordered all our food to find a dirty glove at the bottom of the bag. went in an asked for them to remake the food and all he gave us was a refund.. I was under the impression we would get a refund and new food because that is completely unacceptable and disgusting. so many health concerns here. sure, you may ask what did i expect from cookout? but let's be honest, no matter how cheap the food is, i still expect safety and health concerns to be up to standard. read more

CookOut Restaurant - a dirty glove in my food bag - Hot Dogs Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

I like the tray deal I usually get the 2 hot dogs cookout style with chili and slaw A good hot dog The walking taco is good too which is chips in bag with chili and taco toppings Staff could be friendlier Used to be more friendly but post Covid they have seemed maybe overworked But still worth stop Oh and kids all like the milk shakes My current fast food chili dog rankings are 1. Dairy Queen 2. 7eleven 3. Cookout read more

honestly, I love it. The food, the ambience... It seems silly to give the place top marks for atmosphere, but you have to remember I'm not here for fine dining. I am here because I had a craving for spicy chicken and fried cheese curds at one am. And it may not be the absolute best fried chicken I've ever had, or the best burger, but I know exactly what I'm getting. And they deliver. Cookout is Consistent, and it's inexpensive. There's always a line wrapped around the building, but they're quick so it's not really an issue. And really, when you want one, there's nothing else that will settle the craving for a cheddar style hamburger and hush puppies. The shakes are a whole different level. They belong, honestly, in a more expensive restaurant - if you haven't had one yet, just pick a flavor and go for it. My personal favorite is the chocolate malt, but no one ever seems to leave disappointed with their choice, just torn since there are so Many. read more

I have always loved the food at Cook Out. Had not been there in a while and went thru the drive thru today. The BBQ sandwich was so wet the bread fell apart, condiments on the burger very sparse and I was charged for a bottle of water that I did not order or get. Very disappointed. read more

First time in midlothian turnpike location not impressed at all if this is the way all of them are I won't be back. Ordered the double with cheese heavy pickles onions bacon and mayonnaise with double side of cheese fries and large drink . The fries were a single size cold and limp cheese sauce was warmer than the fries the burger was way over salted the cheer wine from the soda fountain tasted dirty like the machine hasn't been cleaned in some time which brings me to the inside very dirty I had to clean the table to sit down and eat bath room was disgusting.the service the guy taking the order was the best part of the entire experience I walk with a cain so he was nice and brought my food to me but over all will not be back to this location. read more

Every time I come my Order is always incorrect. You say cheese quesadillas and they give you cheeseburger or chicken when you literally say CHEESE! Like how hard is it to listen to a customer and properly take there order correctly?! This isn't even my first time this has been a constant thing and it's very irritating when you order something for it to not even be what you had ordered. read more

Burger was decent but something seemed off putting about it and the corn dog was room temperature. I think this place had potential but I question the level of cleanliness. They also have the ability to have transparent windows like In-n-out burgers but choose to black out these windows which has you questioning what is really going on in the background. Also, there was absolutely no customer service at the intercom or at the window. I feel like that is super important even though it may seem like an extra effort it's best to put good energy out in the world. I'd give it another try but once the health dept makes a visit. read more

Cook Out takes fast food, calories, and served a plate of clogged arteries to the next level. I'm traveling from the West Coast and have never heard of Cook Out till my coworkers mentioned it. TBH, seems like a place you hit up after a night of drinking lol. For $4.99 you can get a burger and 2 sides which include corn dogs, hush puppies, fries, and onion rings to name a few. The charges add up when you add more toppings to your burger or prefer a shake over soda. Typical fast food environment, would definitely not recommend if you are counting calories. read more

I ordered two mint Oreo shakes. When I got the first one, I noticed it looked like a regular Oreo shake, but didn't give anymore thought to it. I got the second one and noticed it was very green. I pulled up from the window so the next customer can pay for their order. I tasked the first one and it was a plain Oreo shake. I turn around and try to go inside to let them know if the mistake, but the inside is closed. I had to wait in the long ass line and when I finally get to the window, I tell her of the mistake. I ask if both shakes can be remade due to sitting in the line and of course, the first shake not being mint Oreo. She gets a WHOLE attitude and tells me that it's mint Oreo! We go back and forth and I told her to just remake them!! I should've gotten my money back. I get home and taste both shakes! This heffa made the shakes with very minimum mint flavoring in them. They are ghetto and rude!!! The shakes are def not like the ones in NC!! I see why I don't go to this location or Cook Out at all!!! read more

Rude staff. Long wait times. Order is always wrong. And won't open for dine in. Needless to say, I won't ever be returning. read more

The meal deals are great. Love the shakes and the many choices in flavors. The service could be better at times. The ambiance is just a regular old fast food place. There burgers and other sandwiches are good read more

Dray at midlothian was amazing, the young man was very polite & professional. Im not sure how the chain of command goes here but he desrves a raise or promotion. greatt job again dre!!!!! read more

First time visit and I'll return to give it a fair try. I did the drive thru and said to the person I've never been here. I would like 1 burger, 1 hot dog. And one order of fries. I asked the person to make give me their favorite style of burger and dog. I got the dog, but no burger. I wasn't charged for the burger. The dog was tasty and the fries were good. Window service was a bit less than welcoming. Better luck next time. I'll read the menu and be ready to go read more

Fresh outta Philly I HAD to stop by Cookout to enjoy some good ol polite fast food. The service vibe is completely different from the Philly area. They said "please take your time," and "thank you," I almost thought I died and went to heaven (okay I'm being dramatic). It's been years since I've been to Cookout but they are still 100% legit to me. The menu can be a bit intimidating if you're new to the spot but take your time and any choice is your best choice. Milkshakes always on point and you're in and out with their twin drive thru. Great customer service, great food. read more

My wife went tonight and we ordered 2 burger trays. When she got home we found that we got chicken tenders which were not ordered. I also ordered a pibb for a drink and it tasted like the box of soda has been out for a while. I couldn't even drink it. read more

I have tried cookout twice now and both times were great. No issues, hot food, and decent prices. The drive-thru lines can be pretty lengthy but considering the times we are in during this pandemic, patience is definitely needed these days. So I don't trip about long waits anymore when I know the food is going to be good. The burgers were super delicious, the cheese fries were excellent, the nuggets were hot & tasty, and the milkshakes are to die for! I truly enjoyed & and this will be my go to spot when I want something quick and reliable. I go to the Rio carwash at least once a week, so it is very convenient being right next door to the carwash. read more

This is my daughters favourite place to eat when we start heading down 95 south. Even if she isn't with us the nearest one is about 2.5 hrs away and I always have to bring her something back read more

This cookout makes the best food of any cookout I've ever been to, however they are gonna get your order wrong. Every single time, something's wrong. Asked for shredded cheese like 12 times and said please make sure it's the shredded cheese not the liquid and yet they doused my whole tray in nacho cheese, and I'm not sure what drink they gave me but it's not a soda I'm familiar with. But like I said, quality is bangin read more

If we could zero stars, we would! Health Violation! Burger had a hair in it! Fries had strange after taste! The teas flavor was off! Management must act to clean this location and get quality up. Broke my teenage daughters love affair with CookOut! You have lost our family's business at Cookouts because of this location!!! read more

Sept 11, 3023 Just left from Midlothian location and order all messed up. Request bbq tray w/cheese fries..no hot sauce on sandwich ..side bbq sauce ..Cole slaw on sandwich..received cajun fries..hot sauce on sandwich no Cole slaw..couldn't eat sandwich or fries... was supposed to get chicken Quesadilla also and that wasn't in big double tray either. Disappointed cause I drove across town for this let down that cost me $25 for everything I ordered and didn't get it right or didn't get! Not a good look Cook Out!!!! Can't call them they don't answer ...Bad business!!!!! read more

Best burgers in town. Also, the best cole slaw in the ENTIRE world.

This is not their best, Ive been to several CookOut locations and this is by far the slowest one I have ever been too. Also when will CookOut open their restaurants back up. Even thought this is the most convenient location I'll drive a little further for a staff that actually takes pride. Maybe a location that is actually open to dining.. read more

The guy at the register had black dirty gross fingernails and the food was not good at all.

Very upset that both of the burgers that I just ordered were undercooked. Rushing to fulfill orders will never produce good quality. read more

Lol everyone knows that this is the place to go on a Saturday night @2-3am . It's super good , milkshakes never let me down , i just love it here read more

Worst run location ever. Food is good but like other reviewers has said, this particular restaurant needs to take some pride and get their act together. Dining room closed, drive through only. Be prepared to wait 20 minutes in line if there are more than 4 cars ahead of you. And don't use the right lane drive through....stick to the left! About 4 cars make it through the left side and get served for every one car that gets served at the right. What a joke....find another Richmond area location if you are jonesing for a Cookout. I could have had a faster experience going to the store, buying my own hot dogs & grill and waiting for my own charcoal to fire up! read more

i had ordered 6 trays for my family. when i had gotten home i checked the drinks and they all were correct . then i went to the trays. out of the 6 they only got 3 correct. 3 of the trays were missing their quesadillas but they had doubled up on the fries i guess they couldn't wait for the food to cook so they just slapped fries in the trays. besides the orders being wrong, the food was decent. The fries were good but the chicken was overcooked. if you want any sauce you'll have to ask but when you do be very specific on how many you want. if you get 4 trays and ask for honey mustard they'll only give you two. which is not enough for all the food especially if you love the honey mustard like me. read more

I wish I could give less than 1 star. I had to repeatedly say my order more than 4 times and the last time the man taking my order had an attitude. When I got my order they weren't even sure if it was mine and then handed it back to me and "said it was mine" the side was wrong and the burger was wrong so somebody else got my order. Hopefully they get some employees that actually pay attention. The disrespect was real tonight with every employee I interacted with. read more

I remember this burger place popped out of no where one day. I have driven past this place for months but never decided to eat here. One of my friends told me about this place and how the burgers here are good. I finally decided to get eat here. I got 1 regular burger, 1 BBQ sandwich, and fries. The food here didn't meet the expectation I had. The meat of the burger was pretty good but the bun was average. The fries were a bit salty. All in all...from the food I got was just okay. I'll probably come back eventually. akatek1 read more

Random foreign objects were in my peanutbutter milkshake. I wish I could upload a photo. Who knows what they are putting in the food.

I'm giving them 4 stars, I know its just a hamburger joint but we don't have cook outs where I live and for a quick place to get something to eat this place is perfect. I've been here 3 times in the last 3 weeks and everytime the food has been good, hot and fresh, now its not fine dinning here but i ordered a double hamburger, fries and a cherry cheesecake shake for $8.00, the burger tasted like it just came off my grill and the fries are hot and perfectly salted, the shake is delicious and its so thick I needed a spoon. I'm haven't seen anyone here with a bad attitude they seem happy to me and the two drive thru lanes moved very fast each time I've been here so I don't see what other reviewers are talking about. Bottom line the food is hot and good at a great price.. read more

It's nice to go to a fast food restaurant and get your favorite hot dog of all times. The chili slaw dog with mustard and onions "Cook Out Style" is off the chain! It reminds me of my childhood. I ate these almost daily over 35 years ago when I pregnant with my son. We need a Cook Out in North West Florida where I live. read more

Good place to actually grab a bite to eat! The prices are Great and you get your money's worth. This location is the friendliest and the most pleasant! Went there today around 5pm and got a variety of tasty food for dinner. This is the nicest I have been to. Now, I have gotten a bite to eat at the Colonial Heights location and I do remember the customer that was behind me with a small child got themselves something to eat and sat down on the bench right beside this Colonial Heights location on the Boulevard a while back. They were being talked about rationally and the little one heard the employees talking about him and his mother and he started to cry and couldn't eat his food. It was sad to witness this at that location. For that insident, I refuse to go to that location in Colonial Heights and I wouldn't recommend any parent with children to go to the Boulevard in Colonial Heights. It is a cold, cruel and discriminating place especially to and for a child. Foxy, I understand how you feel about your first experience. I am sorry. Maybe we can meet up one day since we both live in the same area and I can take you and your child to the Cook Out I go to. They are friendly and child friendly and they will not talk about you and your child like the Boulevard did in Colonial Heights. read more
