Cook's Place is a Columbus institution. There are other items on the menu, but you come here for hot dogs, including the locally famous scrambled dog. I prefer the chili dog, and the fries are on point. Service is fast and friendly, even during the busy lunch rush. The restaurant is decked out in a 50s vibe, grease your hair and bring the Bobby socks and poodle skirt for the full experience. read more

I'm giving two stars because the customer service was on point and I felt for the workers. The customer in front of us was not too happy during our visit and I did feel for the workers as to how she acted. Now onto the food. My kiddos have asked to try this place for months. We finally did and it's a no. The hotdogs are just a boiled and flavorless dogs. The buns are so thin and with the hotdog hot they just fall through the bottom. At first sight they look delicious, but we were all left less than impressed. My kids didn't even finish their hotdogs. The location is so convenient, but the food is less than stellar. A been there and done that location. read more

Cooks is my favorite place for hotdogs. His Scrambled Dogs are my favorite. Also has a great Hamburger and Chicken salad sandwich. several hundred customers eat there every month. Great service and old fashioned customer friendly service read more

Chilli is exceptional the small talk while ordering your dog behind the counter is priceless.

no hot dogs in my scrambled dog when I went to eat it at home. was young boy that took my order at stip mall on airport thruway.VERY DISAPPOINTED AND WILL NOT RETURN. been going to both locations for years. read more

Just got a scramble hotdog thru the window with chips and Diet Coke. Food was cold went straight to the trash no way to heat it up. Will never return. First and last time. read more

I have had their scramble dog on two different occasions. 2 dogs, chili, onions, mustard, pickles and some oyster crackers on a single bun. Chili is really tasty and tender. All the tastes come together and compliment a high quality dog. read more

Cook's Place - Scramble Dog from Cooks - Hot Dogs Near Me - Columbus, Georgia

Area tradition for decades. More than just hotdogs. Pretty good steak sandwiches too. Columbus original scrambled dog is my go to order.

Good burgers, scramble dogs, fries, everything! I also like the chicken salad sandwiches. Their other location is an adorable 50s theme diner. This one is basically just a drive thru and has limited options but it is a convenient location, fast, and the food is good. read more

Cook's has always been amazing. I just went during non-peak hours and was terribly disappointed when I got home to a cold scrambled dog. No freshness about it, period. Taste like it had been left over from lunch. Well, that was a waste of $6.50, because it's now in the trash.​ read more

Omg no no no this place is a joke. Please do not even believe these comments. Let me tell you how they prepare a cheeseburger. First of all they take cold bun out of the bag. They add what ever condiments u want. They add pre cooked meat and cold cheese on top. Close it up and serve it to you. My mouth dropped can't believe people even pay for this. I felt like I was at a kids party only thing hot and nice was the fries. read more

I ordered a #2 2 chili dogs with fries and drink. Overall it was a good experience. Fries cooked to order so they are hot and crunchy well seasoned. The two chili dogs had a good flavor although they could have been a little warmer. The chili just just the right amount to complement the hotdogs without being overpowering. I will happily come back. read more

Cook's Place - two hot dogs with pickles and onions - Hot Dogs Near Me - Columbus, Georgia

Any place that has a scrambled dog has got my vote. These friendly folks have got one every bit as good as the sarges. Pedestrian weenie on a fresh deep pocketed bun allows the chili to get all up in the thang. Onions ride well along with cold hamburger dill pickles. You don't eat this chili dog in 4 bites out of one hand while riding a bicycle that's for sure. It's best eaten with a knife and fork or a spoon. Soon as I finished I mine I wanted a second one. I'm glad I thought better of it as one was just right. Everybody is happy in here and with good reason. The chili is thick meaty and doesn't have any beans. Nothing special about the bun or the weenie. Both came straight off the shelf from the grocery. It was a good one though. Columbus is a great chili dog town! read more

I did not care for this place the chill on my hot dog was cold. My thoughts were it's a hot dog spot it should be great. I didn't find anything impressive read more

This place is great all around. We're from California and we miss our In-n-Out flavors, so this place is reminiscent of In-n-out with a helping of southern hospitality in their customer service. read more

The location on Airport Thruway is basically hot dogs only. No burgers. Great service and good chili dog.

Thought I give this place a try on the way home. I ordered a simple chili cheese and coleslaw hotdog. BOMB! I def could eat about 5 of them in one sitting! Def worth the try! read more

If I had to sum up the food of Columus it would be: Barbecue Catfish Wings Scrambled Dogs The last item is pervasive, with more places offering their take on it than you would expect. And while Cook's isn't as well-known as Dinglewood Pharmacy, their dogs shouldn't be discounted. I would say that I overall enjoyed Dinglewood's dogs a bit more, from using the red hots to the consistency of the chili to the bun (somehow) not getting as soggy when it was drenched in said chili, but the differences are minor, and unlike many of these other places, Cook's has a bit more of an enterprising spirit, underscored by their embracing of the 21st century (i.e., website), and a second location (though it's so close to the first, I'm not sure why they bother keeping both open). Sure, you could argue that the difference between a scramble dog and a regular chili dog is tenuous, and you could quibble about the minute differences between one place and the next, but as you're plowing your way through one, it doesn't seem to matter as much. read more

Alright. Before you read this review, I want to mention right up front that this is a review for a hot dog stand. It is excellent at the few things I expect a hot dog stand to be good at. 1. Good dogs with some good options. Slaw, kraut, chili, onions, etc. 2. Price. They are reasonably priced! Great hot dogs at a reasonable price! 3. Customer service. The people here are very, very friendly. While I was there, I watched them give free drinks to a group of Soldiers in uniform. It was awesome. Also, they have a drive through. I wouldn't say that you should go out of your way to eat here, but if you're in the area and are looking for a place to grab a quick bite, it's a nice place to eat. read more

My husband and I just ordered the hot dog with sauerkraut. The hotdog was the worst we've ever eaten. The sauerkraut was ice cold although the dogs themselves were hot, The sauerkraut felt like it just came out of the refrigerator. This is the second time we've gone to this restaurant. Did they change the brand of hotdogs? We Don't remember it being this bad. Never again! Save your money. read more

I ordered 2 hotdogs to go and a large sprite and it came to $11.... the guy after me ordered and he already had his food and ate it By the time I received my food. he only ordered two hotdogs also... how are you going to serve him first when my order was before his? It obviously does not take 12 minutes to make 2 hotdogs with 3 toppings.... this is absolutely ridiculous... the quality has definentely gone down over the years... read more

I like to eat here but Carla is RUDE and not helpful. She is demeaning to the customers and is very short when asked questions. She insults customers saying we don't know how to read when asking her questions about the menu. Quite frankly, the last 2 times I drive off. If I eat cooks again it will ONLY be at The Landings. read more

Place is legit. My wife and I ate here many times when living in Columbus (one of the few downsides to moving away from the area). Moved to the DC area where folks have no idea what a scrabbled dawg is. I always hit this spot (along with Krystal....again, DC snobbery doesn't allow for these types of establishments) up when I come to town for business. It edges out the Digglewood dawg and the Hidden Grill in Phenix City. read more

Love this place! Idk if it's cause I'm pregnant but their hotdogs are the best and so is the customer service! I've already recommended them to a few people. read more

Very good! A variety of hot dogs, slaw dogs, scrambled dogs. Very fast, efficient and very clean. Stop usually 2 times week, never disappointed read more

Love it!!! I am picky eating certain foods, but this is the only place I will eat a hot dog, I love the Chili that comes on top it as well. If you are looking for a good hot dog this is the place. read more

Good place for a quick meal at a very reasonable price. Two hotdogs fully loaded for $6 with a drink and chips can't be beat.

Some really good scramble dogs with some really nice service. There are many places to get a scramble dog in Cols, but this is definitely my top favorite! read more
