This was my first visit to Cookout, and overall it was an interesting experience. The menu can be a…read morelittle confusing at first glance because there are so many options packed onto the board, but the gentleman at the register was very patient and walked me through it step by step, which I appreciated. The dining area itself appeared clean, and their posted health inspection score was a 94. I ordered the spicy chicken sandwich with fries and cheddar cheese bites, along with a half sweet tea and half unsweet tea. Everything came out hot. The cheddar cheese bites were especially good and full of flavor. The fries were hot but a little underdone and not very crispy, although they still tasted good. The half-and-half tea was excellent and very refreshing. One major downside, however, was the condition of the men's restroom. It was in rough shape, with splattered soap all over the vanity area and generally poor cleanliness. It was unpleasant enough that it would make me hesitate to bring my wife or family here unless that situation improves. So overall: friendly service, hot food, and some tasty items on the menu--but the restroom cleanliness needs serious attention. Fix that, and this place would make a much better impression.

I was traveling and stopped at this location for lunch. I went through the drive thru so cant…read morecomment on the inside. I ordered a burger tray, cheese bites and onion rings. I got more cheese bites this time, so that was great. I got a sweet tea, which is always good at Cook Out and treated myself to a chocolate blueberry milkshake. Awesome I will probably stop here again when passing through.

Pretty average Wendys and the quality of my food was good. My fries came out hot, and I got a…read morefrosty that was filled up to the top. They also have one of those nice super custom soda, machines inside, so that was fantastic. The seating inside is pretty beat up, and the booth I sat and had the seat cushions torn. I used a coupon on the app and they were happy to take it, but it took a little extra time to get it figured out because the person who is working cash register was new. However, they took my order right away and didn't keep me waiting. So, definitely a plus given how fast food has gotten so automated as of late in all the wrong ways. Overall, I was pretty happy with the stop. It wasn't the most delicious food, but this chain never is. However, I'll take the fact that they were Edie, polite, and delivered the food hot.

We waited 20 minutes for our food in the drive-thru--and that is not an exaggeration. Several…read morecustomers who arrived after us received their food first. When ours finally came, there was no apology or acknowledgment of the wait, and the food was cold and soggy. Once we got back on the highway, my son opened his burger and discovered it was covered in MOLD. We immediately turned around and went back to the restaurant to let them know and request a refund. When I walked in, the manager saw me and immediately appeared annoyed, mouthing, "What's the problem?" while helping another customer. Trying to be discreet because other customers were around, I politely said I'd rather not announce it. She came over, I showed her the moldy burger, and she took it and my receipt without saying a word. Someone then handed me $4 and walked away. At that point, I became frustrated and said absolutely not--our bill was $46, and after finding mold on one item, we were not eating any of the food. The manager snapped back at me for being upset, while other employees gave me dirty looks. They eventually gave me a full refund, but not once did anyone apologize--not for the 20-minute wait, the cold food, or, most importantly, serving my child a mold-covered burger. I actually tried to handle the situation discreetly and respectfully so I wouldn't alarm the other customers. The complete lack of concern, apology, and basic customer service was unacceptable. Mistakes happen, but the way you treat customers when something goes this seriously wrong matters.
