    CookOut Boone The fastest Drive-thru experience, we got 2 milkshakes, a double chocolate and peanut butter fudge and a hotdog. Amazing speed service The milkshakes consistency is perfect and delicious also the hotdog is filled with maximum toppings. We should get more of these often!! 1179 Blowing Rock Rd, Boone, NC 28607 daily 10.30AM - 3.30PM Fri-Sat 10.30AM - 4.30PM between $1-$10 per person ℹ cookout.com #cookout #cookoutboonenc #preservefootprints

    Low key love this cookout but today Im giving them 1 star bc wdym I drove 30 mins for specifically a milkshake and you only fill it up this much. BROTHA

    Menu!

    Great service and good every time. I added an updated menu and prices. I love the CheerWine

    Great food! I would consider myself a cookout regular and this is some of the best tonight!

    This is a rat poop looking thing in my drink

    We got 3 milk shakes and they all had pieces of Styrofoam in them that we chew on. The other one had like a rat shit looking hard piece in it. Very unappetizing don't recommend

    Chicken bone

    Not bad if you area into Dairy Queen. Very inexpensive, but you get what you pay for. every tasted good, I got the 5.25 meal. Seems to be the local kid hangout. I also got a chocolate milk shake, one of the best I ever had. You can't sit and eat there, so either do the drive through or be prepared to eat standing up. I will go back but with different expectations, basically fast food

    *updating to 4 stars! I meant to do this originally. The only thing that docked a star for me was seating and seasoning on the burger :) My brother in law recommended we try this spot out and we were excited about the concept. You can order what's called a "tray" and they are only five bucks. It comes with an entree and two sides as well as drink. You can upgrade your drink to a milk shake for a buck which we did. I got the quarter pound burger with bacon cheese lettuce and mayo, and onion rings and cole slaw. Over all it was pretty good! The milk shake was amazing - I opted for peanut butter fudge. They had a lot of really great options for milkshakes. I wish the burger had better seasoning. I do like that it was better than fast food quality. I got a side of the Cookout Sauce to dip my onion rings in and it was so good! I ended up using the rest for my sandwich. This place isn't somewhere you eat inside. You can drive through or walk up and order. The service was quick and they were busy. My only complaint is that they had benches but no tables. I learned this is the norm for Cookouts but it would have been nice to eat inside rather than our car. We would come

    Hush puppies: Duh, yes please. (I mean NO ONE else does drive through hushpuppies!) Mint chocolate chip shake: Who can say no? (Best Drive-Thru shake you'll ever have with that many options) Two drive through lines: You are so kind! (All the better to wrangle the riled up onslaught of college hormones) Open late: How did you know I would need you so?! (Suck it Mcy D's) In n Out, please meet Cook Out, your almost-as-good-looking southern cousin. Let's all be friends and call each other Sue!!

My burger was delicious and above and beyond any fast-food burger I have had before, at comparable prices. They serve grass-fed beef, chuck, round and sirloin. It is fresh, not frozen, and the meats are without hormones. My portion of fries was large, and I couldn't finish them. A smaller portion option would have been nice. I found the setup here confusing, as I wasn't sure where to enter from the parking lot, and then I wasn't sure where to order. Ordering is done at the kiosk or via a QR code. So expect a wait for the kiosk. I use kiosks and apps often, but this particular system was not smooth. I found the kiosk not as easy to use as it should have been; after I selected what I wanted, there was no way to get to the next screen to check out. I went with the build-your-own and was also disappointed that tomatoes weren't an option to add to the burger, but maybe they were out. They are a cashless business. When your order is ready, it is placed on a front cart, while drinks and sauces are self-serve. If I return, I will likely stick to the drive-thru, as that seems to be a much smoother ordering experience. Having a real person take your order and hand you everything you need at the window beats fighting with the kiosk inside.

Very comforting and clean place to eat. I might be back but he won't.

But I wiggled my vehicle into a tight spot and went in for a burger and a beer. I believe there were about 10 to 12 options available on tap, and I went with what was listed as an Irish stout from somewhere in the Northeast. It wasn't bad, though it seemed more like an imperial stout. My sandwich choice was the Cowboy, with ground elk at its core. It was a good choice too, and the accompanying fried onions and melted cheese complemented the meat well. I ordered the burger medium, but I think I'd go for medium rare if I could go back in time. The medium option wasn't bad, but I think a little less heat and a little more moisture would only make things better. I kept things simple with the side item, going for the fries which were of the thinly sliced McDonald's variety, not bad but nothing remarkable. The server covering my table was pleasant and prompt, though soft spoken so I occasionally had to ask her to repeat herself amidst the music and noise. I wouldn't call any of these selections a bargain, but the prices didn't veer too far from what you'll find in many burger joints. All in all, not an earthshaking experience, but a place I'd be willing to go back to. 3.5 stars.

And of course patio seating for those who enjoy eating outside or bring their dog with them. Our server was the bartender. She said early Saturdays weren't always busy and that's why she was alone. She was very friendly and efficient. Typical bar food but some with extra flair. A salmon sandwich. Burgers and chicken sandwiches kicked up a bit. A good variety and interesting choices. NOTE: They DO have allergy protocols in place. Make sure you tell your server if you have any allergies. Nice to see restaurants doing this. I ordered the cheesesteak all the way with max n cheese.

He saw this Latino guy just trying to grab a drink at the bar, and this group of white women just absolutely went off on him. They were screaming slurs and calling him the most terrible names. It wasn't a joke or a misunderstanding; it was blatant, sickening, targeted hate speech. This is Boone, right? It's supposed to be chill, but apparently, not at this place. My boyfriend immediately went to the bouncer--the guy who's supposed to keep things safe--and told him exactly what was happening. And the bouncer's official response? He said he couldn't do anything. Seriously?! A grown man is being harassed with racial slurs, and your security just shrugs and walks away? That's not just unprofessional; that's actively letting racism happen on your property. It's like they're totally cool with it. I am livid. My friends and I are DONE with Elevation 3333. No way are we giving business to a place that allows blatant disrespect and racism to run wild and then won't lift a finger to stop it. This is beyond gross. Spread the word--if they let this kind of stuff happen, they don't deserve our money.
