Char Grilled Hot Dogs with chilli and double fries
Issa S.

They are ok. They have their good days and bad days. But overall the food is edible. Just make sure you have enough fries for double fries

a menu for a fast food restaurant
Darren Y.

Greensboro classic drive in. The place seems to be packed at all hours. Pro tip - do the walk up to avoid the long line of cars. Their shakes are thick - more like mcflurry like. You can mix in unlimited goodies and they have a long list. Got the chocolate malt and Oreo. Pretty good. Cheesecake is a nice add on as well. Fries were ok - I'm told the cheese bites are the bomb - as is the cheerwine float

Caramel Fudge and Chocolate Mint shake
Devon E.

If I want fast-food and I want a lot for my buck, I always go to Cook Out and get a Cookout Tray. You get a main protein (hamburger, BBQ, hot dogs quesadilla, or chicken sandwich plus two sides and a drink for like $5. And the sides are not just the standards of fries or onion rings, you can get a corndog, chicken nuggets, hushpuppies, or a wrap for example. You can also upgrade to shake for your beverage or a specialty "style" protein for very cheap. So much food! My husband and I tend to split the tray if not going for full-on indulgence. I tend to get the Cheddar Style burger (cheddar cheese, bacon, grilled onions, mayo) and like to mix up my sides. On my last drive-thru visit I got Hush puppies (my most common choice as they are delicious- nice and crispy on outside and soft inside) and Cajun fries. They are happy to supply ketchup and honey mustard on request. I am not a big soda person, so I always go for the shake upgrade. My husband religiously orders the Caramel Fudge shake, while I like to mix that up too. This time I got Chocolate Chip Mint. I also like Cheesecake, Heath Toffee, and Chocolate Nut. Their shakes are super filling, nice and thick. Sometimes they don't do a good job of spreading out the inclusions throughout. One cannot (should not) eat Cook Out often, yes the food is greasy, heavy, and fattening but it's supposed to be. Whenever I decide to treat myself with fast-food this is my go-to, everything in moderation, right?

Spicy, Crispy Chicken Sandwich - this is a very nice sandwich.
Fred B.

I left impressed with the service at this location, and I've always been a fan of the food. Tried their Spicy, Crispy Sandwich which I thought was better than the same sandwich at Wendy's, and I like that sandwich. The Double Cheeseburger with L, T, & Mayo was very good, better than most such burgers at fast food restaurants. The Hot Dog was good, once the rather strong, probably old chopped onions were disposed of. FFs were as good as usual. Liked the food, loved the friendly, very pleasant, very efficient service here - not always so at other locations, at least, that has been my experience.

Aye this last night and it was so terrible. Nuggets were cold, fries hard. The tea wasn't as sweet as it usually is, so disappointed.

The inside was very clean and the staff was hard at work. We ordered off the kiosk and got to spend as much time as needed figuring out what we wanted to order. I got the sweet & spicy bacon burger, fries and an OJ. My husband got a double Whataburger with fries and a fountain drink. Our food was brought out by a very pleasant and polite young lady with orange in her hair. I'm sad I didn't catch her name as she was wonderful! My OJ was missing but she had no problem grabbing me one when asked! We tried a fry on the way home, and I'm glad we did. We have about a 15 min drive and the fries did not hold up hot and fresh. They were still good, but that first car fry was amazing! We'll definitely dine in or eat the fries in the car next visit! The burgers were phenomenal. They were full of flavor and the toppings complemented them nicely! They were nice and hot when we got home as well! Only downside was the missing sauces in our bag. Not a deal breaker and I should have checked before we left, but it's okay! We have ketchup at home and I hadn't yet decided how to use my ranch! Great experience and we will be back to this location!

Dave's Hot Chicken just opened on Battleground Ave in Greensboro, and wow…read more This place is delicious. I ordered the #2 sliders, one Hot and one X-Hot... lol holy smokes the extra heat will light you up. I honestly can't even imagine trying the Reaper level. I also got a large chocolate milkshake and it was amazing -- super creamy and a perfect balance to the spice. The fries were awesome, perfectly seasoned, and surprisingly not too salty at all (which I really appreciated). Service was a little slow, but honestly? That's because everything is made fresh. I'll gladly wait a few extra minutes for hot, fresh food instead of something that's been sitting under a heat lamp for hours. Overall, 9/10. Great food, bold flavors, and totally worth the visit. Highly recommend!

I can see how every sugar addicted American could love this place. I found every single thing I…read moretried to be too sweet, including the reaper rub. Service was pretty good, about what we expected; and the atmosphere was as advertised, bright colors, loud music, lots to look at. HOWEVER! if you like sweet with your hot, this chicken is well marinated, fried extra crispy and cooked to perfection. the crinkle cut fries are fantastic, crisp on the outside and still soft inside, dusted with a seasoning that, for those who like sugar, would be great. I highly recommend this place to the right customer, that customer just isn't me.

I had been craving a piece of fish and had been wanting to try this spot. Decided to kill two birds with one stone and ordered takeout on my way home. I ordered take out: Family size flounder Regular catfish basket with fries Sides of Mac and cheese, collards, fries A small order of hush puppies Kids shrimp meal Ordering was easy and curbside pickup *would* have been convenient, except I was only given half of my order and got all the way home before realizing. Fine - people make mistakes. I immediately called the restaurant when I noticed and was given the option to come back and pick up my order (that was actively getting colder) or order it again another day... Considering we were missing the family size flounder, I opted to go back and pickup the rest of my order. I had to go in (which I had been trying to avoid by utilizing curbside pickup) - ok, not the end of the world, but then I had to wait in line. I was given the rest of my order that had been sitting out for close to (if not more than) half an hour. The girl that was working the counter apologized and was very nice, but given no one offered to remake my food or throw in something for my troubles annoyed me. The food was cold - the batter became soggy, fries mushy, slaw warm, hush puppies mostly grease. Mac & cheese was "OK." Collards were not good. Fries, flounder, and catfish would have been good while piping hot but - ALAS - were just OK. Unimpressed and downright disappointed.

I have been wanting to try this place out and finally got the chance! The workers were very…read morefriendly and helped walk me through the menu since it was my first time. After ordering, it took maybe 5 minutes to get our food which felt decent for the fresh food! There was a steady flow of to-go orders so it seems to be a popular spot. I ordered the Popper Topper Burger, although I do get the jalapeños on the side. I was expecting a little bit more to be honest. It was cheesy and delicious, but the patty itself was lacking any flavor. This was shocking because the menu described it to be "Cajun seasoned" but it felt very plain. The fries were my favorite part by far!!! Unlike other places, this had plenty of toppings. Normally, once you eat the top layer the underside is dry. Not here! I was covered in cheese sauce by the end of the meal. If you're in the mood for some really good fries, definitely check it out!

This location of Big Burger Spot is tucked away by a dingy looking gas station, in a parking lot…read moreyou'll almost miss as you drive past the adjacent Walmart entrance. While the exterior is a far cry from the "vibrant patio" the restaurant description promises, the interior opens into a clean, bright space, which is more spacious than one might expect. On the front counter you will see an artistically designed menu board, depicting the many creative offerings available here. When I invited my coworkers to join me here for lunch, 2 immediately began ardently affirming my choice, regretful they could not join me but promising I would love it. In this moment, vague memories of them talking about this "really good burger place at the gas station" for months on end began to come back to me, as I realized they had been indirectly recommending it for a while. On the other hand, my 3rd coworker, who was in a separate room and had not heard their high praises, told me that it was "overrated" and "fine but not that special." Lol. Needless to say, I had absolutely no idea what to make of it all when I arrived. When I walked in, the woman behind the counter asked if I had ever been there, before patiently walking me through the various sections of the menu and helping me pick something out. I settled on the Popper Topper, which promised Cajun spices and fried jalapeño coins, among other various toppings. At its smallest size (big), it only cost $10.99. I also ordered bacon and cheddar fries. My initial impressions upon receiving my food (quite quickly, I might add) is that 1) the restaurant's name is perfect and 2) this is a very good quantity per dollar and an absolutely absurd calorie per dollar meal, especially in 2025. For right at $20, I got a huge burger and enough fries to satiate 2-3 people. I cannot fathom what the larger burger sizes look like, much less who could possibly be ordering them. The fries were everything I could have asked for -- crispy, salty, and with a very generous amount of both cheddar sauce and bacon (the perfect amount to have sauce on every bite but not be soggy). The burger was good, and definitely satisfied that primal craving for salt and fat that we all carry with us from hunter-gatherer days gone by. However, I wouldn't say it was particularly spicy, nor did its flavor deviate significantly from any generic burger I could order. Don't get me wrong, it was still delicious, but I was a little disappointed. I think that the fried jalapeño coins are breaded a little on the thicker side, which somewhat mutes the spice and slight acidity that they would otherwise add to this dish, to help cut through and brighten the other flavors. All in all, I had a great meal and would totally come back, but I don't think I've tried the "perfect" burger from here yet. Definitely going to recommend this to anyone in the area.
