    Sauce cup for reference.

    I would completely avoid this place. Burger looks like it's from a middle school lunch cafeteria, service is miserable (the girl at the drive through asked why I talk slow) when they actually acknowledge your presence, not to mention I had to repeat my order at least 4-5 times. Also their "double order of fries" is roughly a handful.

    I've gone to this location a few times and it's always been good, but today I went and it's clear this shift of crew members have given up. It was a steady line of drive-thru customers coming into the building after receiving their order because something was missing or wrong. There was a gentleman in front of us who left because no one acknowledged him and he'd been there 5-10 minutes waiting to place his order. We placed our order and it came out quickly (2-3 minutes). Now I see why and the reason isn't good. I'll post a pic of the receipt and my burger with the burnt bacon.

    This Cook Out location on Bush River Road in Columbia is a great place to go for quality and quick food at a good value. I have been happy with all of the orders that I have made from here. The staff here is very friendly and efficient at getting everything together.

    This is not my favorite Cook Out. I am a huge Cook Out fan. You get a lot of great food for next to nothing price wise. This one has been steadily rolling down hill for the past couple of months. It's always been hit or miss, but I never left regretting my decision until recently. The quesadillas didn't even have melted cheese, and the chicken tender in my chicken wrap was mostly breading. The fries were also obviously old. By all means, go to Cook Out, just maybe not this one unless it's your only option. Side Note; the milkshakes are still the bomb. The food is the problem.

    This is probably the nicest Cook Out I've ever been to. The inside was spotless and more modern-looking than any others I've seen. The decor was like all the others, with local college team pennants and signs everywhere (Mostly Game Cocks stuff). The food was nice and tasty! I got a Cook Out Tray with a Grilled Chicken Sandwich, 2 Chicken Quesadillas, and a side order of Fries ($1.19). I got a "Huge Tea" for the drink since I was traveling. The regular drink and the huge tea cost the same ($1.99) and I always put soda in the tea cup anyways. My meal + my fiance's was under $14 which is a great price when traveling!

    Yikes. Underwhelming food. Bad staff. Save yourself the headache and go somewhere else.

    My first impression as I arrived was how good the chicken smelled as I got out of my car..There was…read moreadequate parking but it could get crowded on the weekend As I went up to the counter I was met by a friendly hostess named Maddie and Nida. They were very helpful and upbeat. While waiting for the chicken I noticed the colorful murals on the wall and it gave the place a nice vibe There were table and chairs inside and outside too. Our order was ready promptly and looked delicious. I had the number 4, which was a chicken slider and my side was crispy fries. They offered 5 heat levels, I had the number 2. They have the reaper which you have to sign a waiver. Let me just say the chicken slider and fries were delicious. Daves uses high quality chicken and you can tell by the taste. I will definitely return.

This place has me excited when it comes to the "Dave's Not Chicken" menu. I ordered Cauli Dave's #3, which is 1 Cauli Tender & 1 Cauli Slider W/ Fries. This is so delicious! Everything has that perfect crispy and a taste that melts in your mouth. The sauce and honey make it just that much better. An amazing combination. My husband ordered the Saucy Bites W/Fries. He stated the meal was crispy and fulfilling. We also ordered the Small Cauliflower Top Loaded Fries. This was another hit for me! It comes with a cheese sauce, pickles and kale slaw topped with cauli bites and a drizzle of Dave's sauce. It tastes so good! If you have never eaten here or tried the cauli menu, please try it. I highly recommend it. As always great service and clean restaurant.
