The family and I have been here several times over the years. This is one of our favorite burger…read morejoints to dine when we're out and about and want a burger. Typically when we're nearby. We've tried pretty much everything on the menu. This is an older establishment that has kept its old charm. One aspect we appreciate about it. Very simple ordering process and great customer service. Simple menu with plenty of options for everyone. The food is cooked to order and doesn't take long even when it's really busy. Plenty of seating and a large parking lot. We have enjoyed every meal here and will continue to do so. Recommend dining here. Interesting note: if you search for the best burger restaurants in NC, they are on the list.

In High School, my friends and I would grab lunch at a Coney Island Hot Dog restaurant in Ionia,…read moreMichigan. The dogs came with a thick meat sauce, sweet onions, and mustard. I joined the Marine Corps and left the area, but I would always stop there when home on leave. About 15 years later, I was so disappointed when the store was no longer there. Well, I have finally found the closest thing to what I enjoyed over 50 years ago. Awesome dogs with thick meat sauce, sweet onions and mustard. They also put coleslaw on them, but I had to go with my boyhood passion, so no coleslaw for me. A friend told me that he had never had a dog with coleslaw before, but he thoroughly enjoyed it. The shake was pretty dang good too. I will be back this weekend again!

Located in a relatively convenient spot from anywhere in the Jacksonville area, the restaurant has lots of room for customers, and so I've often found a table even in some of the traditionally busier times of day. The food and the service are always reliably great. Omelets, pancakes, French toast, and even hash browns (which, in most other diners, along with their fellow traveler in undesirability, grits, are best avoided), are far better than most other diners. A lot of thought, care, and, presumably, serious on-the-job training must go into the food. The efficiency and dependably rigorous quality are not surprising in a military town. If you're visiting from elsewhere, you will be humbled by the atmosphere, at certain times, when the young service members are having meaningful, hushed meals with their beloveds. Thinking of the hard work, brutal training, and potential life-threatening danger that such absurdly young looking people are enduring will make your worries about mice in the garage, smudged eyeglasses, and forgetting your travel pillow feel awfully insignificant and trivial. Unless you're a fleshly flaneur like me, in which case, a travel pillow and a heating blanket, are still pretty nice. Service is fast and just the right amount of attentive and friendly. On my most recent visit, Elaina was particular kind and efficient.

We got a mango smoothie and hibiscus mango lemonade tea and the flavor was so good and refreshing. The prices are reasonable, the seating area is quiet and clean, and the staff is super helpful and respectful. I will try to work my way through their whole menu but it's huge so might take a while. Definitely recommend this spot if you're looking for cookies, macaroons, cake, donuts to ramen, sandwiches and more!

I finally tried Cook Out yesterday with my son. As soon as you walk in, the digital menu is very…read morevisible above the register. That was nice. The seating is sufficient I believe. There was a steady flow of customers throughout our dining experience. The service was pretty good. The young lady taking our order was very nice. We had a short wait for our food. We both ordered a tray. I had the double burger tray with chicken nuggets, fries and tea. The burger was pretty good. The fries were good. I'm not sure how good the nuggets were because I received only three of them. I thought that was a stingy portion. The sweet tea was way too sweet. I did not expect brown sugar water. Crazy sweet. I asked for a cup of water so I could dilute it. My son had the burger tray with a walking taco and quesadilla. He enjoyed all of his. He eats Cook Out at college, so he knew what he liked. Overall I did enjoy my meal. The burger, service and ambiance overshadowed the nuggets and tea. I would probably eat at Cook Out again.
