I love Cook Out. When we're driving through Georgia and the Carolinas, I'll pick Cook Out over a…read moremore national fast food restaurant. The food generally isn't anything special. It's not bad for fast food. But it's very reasonably priced, and you get what you pay for. The main highlight is the milkshakes. The fresh watermelon milkshakes in the summer are excellent. The strawberry cheesecake the rest of the year is awesome. I can also recommend the hushpuppies.

So, I like to try regional fast-food places when I am traveling and despite being in the Carolinas…read moreseveral times, I had never tried Cook Out. We walked in and no one was at the counter, someone yelled and finally a lady slowly and I mean Zootopian Sloth slowly made her way to take our order in the least give a shit way possible. I ordered a Cheddar burger with bacon and grilled onions, fries and a banana pudding shake. The burger was delicious with a chargrilled flavor, and adding grilled onions to a fast-food burger is a great touch. The fries were just ok. The banana pudding shake was delicious and thicker than Kim Kardashian's booty. The inside of the place was absolutely disgusting. The whole place was dirty, the floors were greasy and the place just looked old. The service was shit but the food was good. I'd eat at a Cook Out again but I doubt it would be this one.

I honestly cannot describe the amount of problems my family and I had tonight. I got a Chicken…read moreFinger Tray with Fries and Onion Rings. After being charged for water when I might as well have gotten a sweet tea or Coke, we finally got our food. I opened the box & the first Chicken Finger I got literally had NO CHICKEN in part of the strip. Fries were fine but the Onion Rings were a little underdone. My dad got a hamburger that was smaller than his palm. Fortunately we were able to speak with the General Manager who fixed everything for us- new trays and all. If it wasn't for the GM I would have given 1 star. Thankful for kind people who still exist that make things right.

Excellent alternative to the national chains. We had burgers (mine "steak style" with A-1, grilled…read moreonions, etc, hers a regular cheesburger with the usual lettuce/tomato/onions) and they came hot, freshly prepared, and tasted great after a morning on the road. Good selection of sides-- the burgers come with two of them-- and the shakes qualified as some of the thickest hand-scooped shakes either of us could recall. Service was efficient. The "religious music" referenced in another review is XM/Sirius Christian rock at a low-enough volume that I had to consciously listen to ID it. Seriously, if MUSIC makes you sufficiently unhinged and "uncomfortable" to dampen the lunch experience, you should probably seek counseling and avoid the internet for a few years. Think happy thoughts and embrace the burger, man. This is a regional chain, though alas not our current "home" region. We'll be back on subsequent trips through the area.

Wow I'm amazed. Ive never had fast food this great!!…read more The chicken quesadilla was the group favorite. It's on the thin side so make sure to order a lot. I asked for the cook out special sauce and it enhanced the flavor. The special sauce was bomb. The hush puppies were crispy and the outside tasted like onion rings. The inside was slightly sweet reminiscent of a corn dog. The trays are the way to go. You get one entree and two sides for $6! I wish I could eat this for all my meals. The customer service is superb. Quarvisha was so sweet and helpful. She was attentive to our complicated order without missing a beat. She handled our request for different types of sauces patiently and efficiently. My group was so taken by her manners and demeanor.

Cheese burger was missing a chunk of meat from the center. Quesadilla was terrible, like a wet sock in your mouth. Jalapeño cheese fries is just gross melted cheese with a few pieces of whole jalapeños thrown in there, wasn't spicy at all either. The few cheese bites were ok though. 10/10 would not recommend.

The goat cheese in the mash potatoes gave it that zing of flavor and the chicken fried chicken breast was cooked perfectly. The fried okra was also hand breaded.

The exposed brick walls are adorned with pop-art paintings of Jimi Hendrix and Bob Marley and similar 60s/70s era paintings. The vibe is rustic and energetic, but also down-to-earth trendy. We arrived for an early dinner (slightly before 6pm) and were seated right away. Within fifteen minutes the crowds were building and the place was packed. Our waiter was a soft-spoken guy who was very attentive. He took our drink order right away and gave us the specials. Overall he was excellent. The food was beyond good. The selections were broad enough that all guests should be able to find something to suit their tastes. Our party of five started with appetizers of fried-green tomatoes and fried pickles. For our main course we ordered the burger with fries, grilled chicken sandwich (with bacon, fontina and granny-smith apples), blackened mahi-mahi with shrimp and the beef Wellington over mushroom risotto (special). Each dish was excellent and was executed with great skill. Flavors were deep and did not disappoint. We will be coming back many times in the future. Enjoy!

We came in about 6:30 on a Friday night. We ended up waiting in line for about 20 minutes. The…read moreline was out the door when we got there so don't be intimidated by that. You order at the counter and they prepare your food as you are on the other side of the glass. There is one person that does the meat and then the tray gets passed to the next person who gets your sides for you. Then you move to the register where you give your drink order and pay your tab. You are given the option to pay with a card or get a discount for cash. You get your drinks and find a table. As busy as they were, we wondered if we would be able to find a table. There were plenty of they also have some tables outside but it was super hot. I had the pulled pork plate and my son and husband both had the chopped brisket. The pork was good but the brisket was amazing. Brisket is amazing when done right and this was done very right. Full of flavor and moist and juicy. AMAZING. You have three different sauces you can try. They are at the tables. Hot, regular and mustard based. All had great flavor and the hot wasn't real hot. As sides we had the Brunswick stew, Mac and Cheese and cheesy hash browns. The Brunswick stew is less chunky and more fine. The flavor was good. The Mac and cheese was very creamy in a white cheese sauce. It was really good. The hash browns were full of flavor. I would definitely order the Mac and cheese and hashbrowns again but probably would skip the Brunswick stew. Not that it wasn't good. I would just try other menu items first. Just FYI. No alcohol. But you're coming here for the food. You won't even miss having an adult beverage. The tea is freshly brewed and all you need. All three of us left stuffed. I took half of my meal home with me. They definitely give you plenty to eat. We shared a banana pudding at the end because my son wanted to try it. It was very rich and creamy. Not sure if it is available every day because the menu just offers a dessert of the day. Two of us shared it and there was plenty to share. Of course, this was after we each had already eaten our dinners. And we're already stuffed. But the person at the table behind us was raving about how good it was so we couldn't resist. The employees were friendly and they kept the line moving. There were two kind ladies out in the dining area refilling drinks and making sure tables were cleaned as soon as people left. This is the kind of food you dream about after you've been there. So very good. We will definitely be back soon.
