I frequent cookouts in the usc area all of the time. I thought all of them were just fabulous places to dine at. But behold, this place on savannah highway is comprised of people who can't take simple instructions and probably would lose their heads if they weren't attached to their bodies. If I didn't see that humans operated this facility and only looked at the results they produced. I would probably speculate that this business was operated by a pack of blind dogs and maybe a horse. We had three orders and they forgot to give us a sweet tea, the food itself looked like Stevie wonder put it together himself, and they put coleslaw on my bbq sandwich when I specifically told them to not do that. Let me express my concern and disappointment in a haiku. I yearn for success But my food says other My heart hurts so much You're only as strong as the weakest link and I guarantee their weakest link probably didn't even show up to work. Their milkshakes remind me of the easier days where me and my dungeons and dragons home boys from high school would hang out and get some dank food. But today's experience with cookout violated my day as if it were LeBron vs. Steph. Try harder cookout. I believe in you guys. The only reason why I gave it two stars was because my milkshake was dank af. I hope this is a wake up call for you guys. read more

Super cheap burger and hot dogs! Always see a long line at drive thru(can't eat inside) so we decided to hit it for a late night snack. Glad we did the burger was tasty lots of choices more like the backyard grill taste and less like typical fast food joints!!! Go the hot dogs looked great too and it is cheap- tons of choices under 3 bucks- Go!!!! read more

Pulled up at 9pm to get a bag expecting to be good now. Can say I was not good now after my experience at this location. 1/5, DaBaby would not be impressed read more

Wow, talk about a let down. I had heard this place had pretty good burgers for a fast food place. The burger had no flavor and the corn dog was the same. The lady at the order window was an absolute bundle of energy......not. She was not in a good mood and was rude to everyone who came up to order. When we asked for a sack to carry our order in, we had to repeat three times and she finally said, you mean a bag. Last time I checked they were one in the same. We had to ask for salt, pepper and ketchup and they forgot to give us our shake. This place was bad, bad, bad. Will not visit one of these again. I think anyone of the other fast food places are better than this. read more

Cashier needs to learn his menu as I had to explain my order. Maybe if he were more interested in customer service instead of playing with his knitted bracelets he could get the orders right. But what should I expect from drive thru restaurant? Troglodytes read more

I'm chasing a perfect thin party burger I used to eat as a teen and this didn't hit that spot. Nevertheless, burger was food, onion rings were awesome (don't skip these!). I was too full for a shake but there's always next time. read more

Cook Out - burger fries and onion rings - Fast Food Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

A lot of people kept talking about it, so I had to give it a shot. With so many people recommending it, I guess I had high expectations. It's just fast food - nothing more, nothing less. Some interesting options, like corndogs as a side, but overall - it's fast food and it tastes like it. There's one thing that's pretty impressive though and that's the price. This place is an excellent value for the quantity of food you receive. Get a burger with a corndog side and a soda for $5 and you'll be stuffed to the gills. I'll go back someday when I have a corndog craving, because the corndog was the best part of the meal. And they're open until something like 4am - crazy! read more

How can you go wrong with Cookout and how can I say what hasn't already been said? You get some really good quality food that tastes great at a really good price. Cheeseburgers are fantastic, the chicken wraps are amazing, the hushpuppies and fries make me happy, and the milkshakes are some of the best I have ever had. What else can be said? Go eat their. Now! read more

I'm leaving this review only because of the outstanding service my girlfriend and I received by Courtney. She was working the walk up window during the late night shift on May 1st. This is one of the only places to get food late night in this area so after about 1am the place is usually packed. I was extremely impressed with Courtney's interpersonal communications skills and how well she handled the stress of being so busy, while making everyone that walked up feel like they were being taken cared for to their best ability. Regardless of how long people had to wait and how inebriated some people may have been at this time she was able to connect with every guest in a personal and professional manner that people did wait for over 30 mins for a fast food chicken sandwich. No offense to Cookouts' food but they did not wait because Cookout has incredible tasting food. They waited because of the service that Courtney provided and the fun atmosphere she was able to create. THANK YOU Courteney, Cookout needs to give you a raise and take care of you cause your a diamond in a rough. read more

Worst place ever can I get my order right and when you gave them the order they didn't take it lightly the restaurant smelled I will never come back to this location read more

Justen has AWESOME customer service, Such a sweet person!

This was my first time at a cook out and this review may be a little unfair. So I went at 11pm on a Friday and the place was packed, the drive through wait was probably about ten minutes but that's okay cause I had no where to be. I ordered a Cheddar Cheese burgeronion rings with the cook out sauce, cookout rounds(?) and a snickers milk shake. The milkshake was thick AF and took some melting before I could drink it but was excellent, the Onion rings were great despite the fact they forgot my cook out sauce, the cookout rounds I assume were good cause my mother ate them all without compliant. The cheeseburger is where my disappointment came, when i opened it, the burger was on one side of the bun, while all the cheese and onions were on the other side, the bacon fell off immediately (bacon was delicious though), the burger in the other hand was burnt and gross a total bummer for my late night meal. I definitely go back because I always hear great things but next time I'll go when it's not so terribly busy. read more

this specific cookout is THE WORST cookout i've ever been to . north charleston and mount pleasant location i have never had issues , but the west ashley location is always so slow . just got done sitting in line for 45 MINUTES !! got two simple cookout trays quesadillas and double cajun fries for sides . got out of line and was able to check our food cause the line behind us was crazy , and they only gave one tray fries their food isn't even worth that wait in the first place and the fact that we sat there at the window for 10 minutes waiting for our food , you'd expect things to be correct . didn't even try and go back cause it's take another 15 min just to get the fries we paid for . also , they didn't close their dumpster doors so got to watch a man pee in there and the door swung open and hit my bfs truck . just worst experience i've ever had with them . read more

I usually go here with no problems, but today I went and sat at the speaker for about 15 minutes in my car, asking to order with NO response. So eventually I go to the drive thru window assuming something is wrong with the speaker and they refuse to open it or acknowledge me, but start talking to the person behind me on the speaker! So with no opportunity to order, I park and go to the window and there are no workers wearing masks correctly or at all. read more

After moving to charleston from LOUISIANA I will have to say the cookout tray is the best food to money ratio I have ever gotten for fast food and includes a drink . the choices are endless. there shakes are to die for. and the prices are affordable read more

Amazing top down best fast food place to eat at (BETTER THEN THE REST. My kids love it and if kids love it you already know it's going to be good and to this day me and my family love going to cook out. read more

Everything about it is good!! They have a great variety of food and the flavors of milkshakes are endless. Usually fast service and the food is always hot. From Hot dogs, hamburgers bbq platters, wraps, chicken sandwiches, quesadillas, kids meals, delicious hush puppies, slaw, great sides, dessert, and plenty to drink. Love this place and they stay open late! read more

The food has that warmed up feel to it, but it's generally tasty and it's really hard to beat the price of a Cookout Tray. Under $5 for a hamburger, two sides and a drink, and one of those sides can be a quesadilla? Sign me up. It's got a huge menu and is open up late, so it's really good for a midnight snack or meal. The service is fast and everyone who works there seems incredibly friendly. It might not be for everyone, but check it out at least once. read more

I've literally been obsessed with this place since they opened. The food is always very well made, never had any problems with my food. The only issue is the occational girl working the window ... they can be so damn rude. read more

Order was wrong, had allergic reaction and ended up in the ER. Could not get them to refund the cost of the food and their insurance company refuses to pay out of pocket medical expenses from ER. "Manager" on shift was extremely rude and unprofessional. So if you want food poisoning or allergic reactions because they do not prepare the food as requested, this would be your choice. read more

The customer service was A++++, Ms. Tiffany Edwards was super nice. So nice that we went back the next night. Great food.

Only place where you can get cheerwine at a drive thru. I ordered a combo with a bacon wrap and they gave me a chicken wrap. It said cheddar style which makes me think a nice slice of cheddar. Nope its sloppy nacho cheese mess! read more

Great milkshakes; burgers over-cooked, dry and without any flavors; onion rings crispy but, again,m without any flavor of any type. Clean and bright and cheap. But just not very good. . .even for the prices. read more

If Chick-Fil-A sold burgers, this is what it would be like. Taste is incredible. Reminds you of eating burgers at your family get together without the extended family getting on your nerves. My only complaint is there are too many items on the menu. Milkshakes are worth the price of admission. However the milkshakes are extremely thick, and you might collapse a lung trying to siphon them up the straw. This one is drive through only. Any business that uses scripture on their cups will get my business. read more

Great burgers! BBQ and A1 are my favorite. Great for something quick on the go with the $.99 items. The shakes are some of the best I've ever had. Oreo mint is my fav. Second in line is God cheese cake. read more

Hot, fast, and cheap! How can you go wrong? And they are open late for all you late night munchers. It isn't fine dining, but not too bad. Give it a shot. read more

The service was really bad. If you're going to be a late restaurant then be a late restaurant that have people that act like they want to be there. If anything, pay those people more to do the late night job. Because waiting an hour for a meal is not worth it and makes everyone hate this place even more. The workers hate everyone that comes through and it shows. I really hope this late night spot gets better because it was my main for sure. Waiting an hour at a fast food line is ridiculous. Places like this need to be better regulated and I'm sadden that I won't be coming here any more. read more

Awesome, fast, hot and great quality food. They have the best milkshakes for a drive through.

Well this place is ok. They have a lot of combo options to choose from and thir prices are decent. The beef they use for their burgers is fresh and has a unique taste. The french fries and onion rings suck, compared to McDonald's fries or Sonic onion rings. Peace Out! read more

We had heard about place from a billboard and decided to eat here for dinner. It was OK. The hush puppies were good and so was the BBQ sandwich but the burger was very limpy. When I unwrapped it all I saw was a bun. It could have been good but it did not fill me up and I ended up eating at taco bell next door. Also the shake was so thick you had to use a spoon to eat it. All in all it was pretty good for fast food but not a favorite or something I would recommend. read more

Fast service, tasty food, and great prices make Cookout a good choice when you need something quick. The milkshakes are pretty amazing. I have yet to see their milkshake machine break unlike another restaurant nearby... McDonald's I'm looking at you! Insider tip: you can totally mix milkshake flavors ;) The Cookout tray is an amazing meal. It's $4.99 and comes with a sandwich, two sides, and a drink. Now their sides are pretty much meals themselves! Who counts chicken wraps, corn dogs or quesadillas as sides?! Cookout does! I personally like getting a Chicken club, or BLT as my first choice, but the burgers are great too. They stay open pretty late so it's a perfect place to go after the bar. Definitely check it out the next time you're a little low on cash and you'll probably become a frequent customer lol. read more

This is the best place to get a fast cheap meal. The trays are inexpensive and come with enough food to fill you up plus a drink. The milkshakes are thick but great. I just end up eating it like ice cream. read more

I give it a 3 becasue the staff is extremely rude and the NEVER give me ketchup. Food is cheap and delicious though so worth it.

This was the best fast food restaurant i have been to. Great prices too. $5.99 combo gets you a double burger, hush puppies, fries and a shake. Oh and the shakes come in 40 flavor! They are soft serve, but have fresh fruit ingredients. Peanut butter banana was delicious. Peach cobbler waa very good, but could have had more peaches. read more

Ordered 7 milkshakes for the family. They were delicious! My grandma is already asking for another shake. The guy st the window was super friendly and patient as my 90 year old grandmother took her precious time deciding on what milkshake to order. read more

Burger was good, sauteed onions was good. The cheddar cheese was out of a can, and was terrible. Also, please learn how to make a lettuce wrap burger. I think I will pass ... read more

The food is marginal, but the milkshakes warrant an extra star. The food is inexpensive and tastes as such.

Delicious. One of the best fast food restaurants. Spicy chicken could have been spicier but it was still really good!

I don't like installing this junk on my phone but this is the only way I see to comment on this restaurant. I was a little, maybe more than a little, ticked that yesterday morning I spent $6 for a mediocre cup of coffee. Later in the day, and right next door, I find this place Cook Out #102. I paid $4.33 for very good, good tasting, good portions, solid WHOLE MEAL. It was something different than I normally buy (Mc......., who I have no problem with.) As I stood there I thought, "How much of a "meal" can this be at that price? It was an all round satisfying meal. Service was good. Yep, I'm going to say it, I just wish I found this place earlier. read more

Great burgers and very good price. Plenty of food for any adult. I was very impressed with the quick, correct, service. $11.65 got my wife and I a double cheese burger meal with 2 sides a piece and a drink.good workKeep up the read more
