My visits to the Raising Cane's Chesapeake location were two different experiences. The first was…read morea solid 5. The second was rounded up to 4. The food was equally good both times. I chose the Chicken Tenders Box Combo both visits. It consists of 4 large pieces of tender juicy chicken & true Deep South Cole Slaw prepared with a light sauce, just like I grew up with. Also included were Crinkle Cut French Fries & awesome Texas Toast. I opted out of their Special Sauce, which I am told is delicious by those who like dipping Chicken Fingers. Lemonade, which is really good, was my drink choice. Perhaps the difference in the visits has to do with time of day. The first visit was mid afternoon, having had a doctor's appointment in close proximity. The personnel were friendly & welcoming. What must have been the manager told us we should come back the next week, on their First Anniversary. We decided to support the restaurant on their Anniversary, meeting friends who lived in Chesapeake. The drive from the Shore Dr corridor to Greenbrier at rush hour was much longer than anticipated. So it was in the midst of the dinner hour when we arrived. The restaurant was extremely busy. The staffing seemed similar to our mid afternoon visit, which wasn't quite adequate to handle the dinner hour level of business. It wasn't an Anniversary crowd. My Chesapeake friends indicated that the restaurant was always that busy. The food tray came so quickly that I was still talking to one of their pleasant personnel, maybe a manager. Although we were able to order quickly, very soon there was a long line snaking past our table towards the back of the store. I was shocked when we left the restaurant at the extremely long line of cars waiting to go through the drive thru. The parking lot of the restaurant didn't come close to containing it. Told that it was always like this, I understood that the staff must be struggling to handle that many customers at one time. One big complaint on my second visit is that one of their 2 unisex, spacious bathrooms was completely out of toilet paper & paper towels. The soap dispenser had the front taken off, obviously by a patron trying to find soap. The inside replaceable plastic bag of soap refills had been squeezed, obviously in an attempt to get the last of the soap remaining. I planned to tell an employee the state of that bathroom but they were so busy that I decided to just return to my table. Obviously this was a good location choice for a Raising Cane's. But I do think they should increase their staffing level during the busy dinner hours. The location was filled with framed Chesapeake History. It was fun to walk around and see the articles & pictures. One was even a page from the 1955 Oscar Smith High School Yearbook. I'll return to this location both for takeout after a doctor appointment or to meet my Chesapeake friends. But I'll definitely leave earlier or take a different route. And I look forward to the opening of their planned Lynnhaven location.

It's actually so pleasant inside that I often prefer to dine in because the drive-thru line tends to stretch out into the road due to its popularity.

You can customize nearly everything, and while that kind of complexity could easily bog things down, I've found this location to be impressively efficient. The staff keeps the drive-thru moving, fast and to the point. That said, if you're new or just indecisive, I highly recommend going inside. The menu is huge, and if you're not ready when it's your turn, you might feel a little rushed. My husband and I text our orders to each other and read off our phones to keep things moving. Cook Out was once the king of budget eats -- I remember when a tray (entrée + 2 sides + a drink) was around $5. Those days are behind us. These days it's more like $7-$8, which still isn't bad, but the creep is noticeable. One of my latest discoveries that might change your life: they sell slices of cheesecake. Yes -- actual cheesecake for around $3. You can add any of their milkshake toppings to it. Crushed Oreos on your cheesecake? Done. Strawberry syrup and peanut butter cups? Go for it. It's dangerously indulgent. In short: Cook Out is chaotic in concept, but smooth in execution -- especially at this location. It's not fine dining, but if you're craving cookout classics with infinite combos and quick service, it hits the spot (esp late night cravings!!!!)

We stopped by for a quick dinner. Most of the time the drive thru is going to be extra busy. So…read moreexpect a wait. There are several menu items like burgers, hotdogs, chicken tenders, milkshakes, and more. Their milkshakes are definitely worth trying!! I highly recommend it. I got the burger platter (cheddar style), with double Cajun fries, and a blueberry cheesecake shake. If you don't choose a style for your burger the toppings are charged separately, which can add up quickly!! The burger was good with that melted gooey cheese on it. I wish it was a little more seasoned. But it was still good though. The fries are really good if you add Cajun seasoning to them. They were hot and crispy. I love dipping them into their delicious BBQ sauce. The milkshake was awesome!! Lawd have mercy, I didn't expect that. I could eat them everyday If diabetes didn't exist. Smh. The prices are decent and the food is good. I enjoyed my meal and will return. Check them out!

It's just simple…read more Sometimes you just want a quick bite. Nothing fancy just something to tide you over. This place is it. Need a burger at 3am? How about a beef quesadilla at 1pm? Or chicken nuggets at 9? This place has you covered. The food is average, nothing to crave for, but it's filling and really aside from 7-11 who's going to give you a corn dog and onion rings at midnight? The staff is very friendly and you're greeted with a smile. And the food comes out quick. Overall three stars. There is a decent variety of items to pick from the menu. The prices are cheap and the food comes out hot.

I've heard so much about Cook Out but never experienced it until tonight…read more I'm not a fast food person. I'm in a continuous calorie counting mode. I save my calories for special treats. So I wasn't sure how I would feel about this spot that has drawn such praise. Tonight I was gifted a barbecue sandwich with coleslaw on the side from this Janaf area location. It was the best barbecue sandwich I've ever had. The barbecue was perfectly prepared with a sauce that had a little bit of a kick, just enough hot to really add to the taste. The pulled pork couldn't have been better. It had absolutely no hint of fat. Normally I order barbecue without a bun because the bun overpowers the barbecue. Not so with Cook Out. The bun was small & flat and the barbecue itself was the main course of the sandwich. The coleslaw was perfect. It was prepared without all the sauce that some restaurants apply in an over abundance. After my first taste of Cook Out I will now "brake for a stop" to have that yummy sandwich again. Hurray for a fast food restaurant that's tasty and prepared well.

This place is great! Will definitely come again!…read more A friend and i went on a whim, just to see, and was pleasantly surprised. I have lived in the area for a majority of my life and had never thought to go in. I am glad I finally did! The restaurant had ample seating, with tables inside and out, along with a long bar to sit. The service was great! Sean was super nice and told us all of his favorite things off of the menu. We ordered a handful of things: - A 1/4 All Beef Hot Sausage: This was my favorite item and Sean's go to on a break. We added chili and mustard and it was absolutely delicious. - A Hot Dog Dietz & Watson: Solid , but nothing to really write home about. It might just be, because it followed a sausage that good. We added chili, mustard, and a bit of onion for this one. - A Pork BBQ Sandwich: Really good! I am not the biggest BBQ fan either, but I plan to try the Chicken BBQ next time. I added coleslaw and onion for this item. I liked their coleslaw a lot, which also surprised me. The only thing I wished was added, was extra sauce. - Buffalo Chicken Sausage: Really good! This was a close second for me. It was not too spicy either. Just right, with onions, chili, and mustard. - Sweet Potato Fries and crinkle fries: I love sweet potato fries and these were good. The crinkle fries were just okay. I wish they did have some seasoning.

Doing a burger comparison today and wanted to compare smashburger and Freddie's…read more.. Order the Classic Smash with the scorching hot fries... The burger was great, juicy, and nicely flavored. All the ingredients were fresh and the quality of the burger was on top compared to other fat good burgers. I love the fries here because they are the skinny fries which ensures that are crispy.. tried the Scorching hot this time and to honest was not too impressed.. it was an oily sauce that didn't have much flavor and was between mild and medium on the heat scale.. The best spicy fries that Smashburger had was the ones they had in Houston texas a few years ago.. the fries were coated with a dry salty seasoning which really made the fries pop out, when compared to the oily ones they have now.... Back to my burger match.. Smashburger clearly wins when it comes to the burger itself.... Compared to the plain dry burger I had at Freddy's. Highly recommend if you are looking for a juicy burger and you want something a little better than the standard fast food places like Wendy's, McDonald's, Burger King, etc ...
