    Hotdog  with fries
    Patricia A.

    When you need a late night meal and everything else is closed, where do you go? Cook Out is always open late and they have very low prices that won't break the bank. Customer service is greatly appreciated and employees are very patient while you decide what to order. Food is flavorful and satisfying. Hotdogs are only $1.99, wow, what a great price. Ordered the pulled pork platter and it hit the spot. I was amazed at the huge amount of flavors that they had for milkshakes. Tried the pineapple and it was so good, also tried the blueberry and it was delicious.

    It's yummy! It's cookout! However today, the day after Thanksgiving in 2025 someone or something burnt the heck out of all the food. Happy holidays and please cook our food a little less so we can taste that yummy cookout flavor more.

    Cookout tray - big double burger with Cajun fries and onion rings

    I haven't had Cook Out in YEARS and we got a craving for it last night. I ordered a tray (of course) with a big double burger, onion rings, and cajun fries. The burger wasn't big and it definitely wasn't a double... it was very clearly a single small burger. They also forgot to add the condiments I asked for. The onion rings and cajun fries are just how I remember them. My husband's milkshake was full of little pieces of ice which was off putting to the otherwise creamy milkshake texture. Not sure what was going on at this location but it wasn't the best experience I've ever had. I understand this is fast food but it missed the mark for us.

    Drive-through
    Cristina R.

    Not sure why the reviews are so low, but our experience was pretty good! Upon arriving at the drive-through, we were the second car in line to order. When we got up to the speaker, we were asked to wait a few minutes, and then again we waited in line to get to the pick-up window, where we paid and got our food. I'd estimate it took about 15 minutes total, which is a while if you're expecting fast food. So it's helpful to know that you should arrive with plenty of time. Also, they don't take AmEx. Food is tasty and very affordable. We ordered a Double Tasty burger tray with cajun fries & chicken nuggets as sides, plus a Coke and an a la carte Peach Cobbler milkshake. The burger was a good size, tasted very fresh, and came with lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheese. Although the side of chicken nuggets were only three nuggets, they were yummy and went well with the Cookout sauce. Cajun fries were plentiful - and plenty salty. Watch out if you're watching your sodium intake. Coke cup was FULL of ice, so I recommend asking for light ice so that you have more drink to enjoy. The Peach Cobbler shake was super delicious and tasted like summer. I'd happily get this again and can't wait to try more flavors! There were bigger chunks of peach and cobbler crunchies in the shake, so having a spoon in addition to the straw is helpful. Overall a solid option that I'll definitely check out again!

    BBQ Sandwich tray with fries and nuggets
    Jenita M.

    Friendly-caring staff. Meals made hot and ready. I enjoy coming up with milkshake concoctions here. The price is fair. My favorite is the pulled BBQ sandwiches. I always make it a tray with nuggets and fries with bbq sauce. Can't get no better. The hot dogs are good too. Perhaps better than the burgers. It neat this location has a dine in area much like the Matthews location.

    Cookout Tray
    Joel J.

    The food was good, served hot and tasty. The service was okay, worker wasn't super kind and friendly but he didn't come off as rude or anything so it was chill. Overall, a good location, it's quiet and the food is given to you fairly fast even with a long drive thru line. Ps. The location plays a Christian Radio all the time, if that's an issue for you.

    Heather B.

    Very fast service despite two really long lines! Ordered a bbq sandwich tray and a shake. You can't beat $7 for dinner and a shake. Sandwich was good. The fries were ok, hush puppies were good. The shake was not very good, didn't finish it. Impressed with service. I'd come here again but try different sides and skip the shake! Convenient location.

    Never Again!

    The worst fast food experience ever! Ordered a BLT plate with Onion Rings and Hushpuppies. Sandwich had no tomatoes, a very sad piece of lettuce. Hushpuppies and Onion Rings are RAW!! NEVER AGAIN! Stay away the 29 Parkway location in Concord!

    This cookout is walking distance from the Atrium Health hospital. My sister was having surgery and we decided to grab some goodies for our waiting room stent. I actually drove over. There is only one drive thru line unlike other locations who have the 2. The line is very quick. The menu is the normal cookout menu. The cheese bite we order were kinda lukewarm while the chicken nuggets were fresh out the grease. Overall the experience was good. I have no complaints. Will definitely be back to this location.

    Burger

    Terrible Cashier, I ordered three trays, corn dog, bacon burger, and quesadillas. The corn dog was burnt and the bacon was very soggy and old. When I ordered the cashier was rushing me, it was my first and last time coming here, which would be understandable if there were a lot of customers, but there was not. I asked for condiments, ketchup and honey mustard, but when i got home there was none. If you appreciate decent customer service, DONT COME HERE.

And their recipe for success is pretty simple: fresh, honestly made food served hot, and with a smile. There's no indoor seating (and not much outdoors, for that matter), limited parking, and no booze, but the chili cheeseburger, served in a wax paper wrap and dripping with greasy flavor, is a quintessential Queen City experience. Service was fast and friendly, and you can enjoy your meal at a covered picnic table or (as we did) in your car. I wouldn't say Brooks makes the city's 'best burger' (much less 'the World's,' as the sign claims), but its homemade goodness will remind you of simpler days, when it was a lot easier to find reliably tasty comfort food at a reasonable price. Definitely worth a visit from anywhere in Charlotte.

They both were tasty. The hot dog was big and juicy and well dressed. They air fry all their traditionally fried. That's probably my only complaint. I prefer fried food to be fried in oil, but that's my preference. We also tried the brisket and pulled chicken (sorry I forgot to take a picture). They were also good. Everything was served hot and fresh. I'm a condiment girl and they have five bbq sauces: Original, Mississippi, Kansas, Memphis, and Sweet and Tangy. We actually liked all of them between the two of us. Here are a few more highlights and reasons for you to stop in and check them out. 1. Plenty of parking including a ramp for accessibility. 2. They have Ax Throwing. It's not traditional axe throwing, they use a screen. They also have other fun games including Tic-Tac-Toe and a Candy Crush like game. It's also affordable. It was $10 per person/hr. We stopped in on a Monday afternoon before 5:00pm. 3. They have a few fun things on their menu including corn nuggets, fried pickles, pineapple upside down cake, and a sampler where you can try a little bit of everything. 4. The staff (Ron and Shawn) was very friendly and thoroughly explained the menu. They also chatted with us since they were not too busy and made sure we had all we needed to enjoy our meal. 5. They have over 20 taps with a variety of beer. They also have beer specials during football season. Stop in and visit Crave for a taste of Carolina and a little family fun.
