Cookout is still serving up good burgers and those fancy shakes! This location appeared clean both inside and out, with private parking and a drive-thru available. But honestly, take a break from the heat and dine inside--you'll be glad you did. Like just about everywhere else, prices have gone up and some menu items have gotten a little smaller. The unique burgers and shakes are still great, just slightly more petite than they used to be. The plates are still a relatively good value compared with other burger joints. Service was great! Overall, Cookout remains a solid choice when you're craving a good burger, a shake, and plenty of options without breaking the bank. read more

At one time I liked this place well. I was shocked to see the notes of the bathroom doors not to mention the cleanliness of the men's restroom knowing that women need to sit to tee tee and I'm just going to admit it I pulled up the leg of my pants and hovered over the toilet because the floor in front of and around was very wet with tee tee not water because I ended up getting some of my pants leg on one side in the tee tee and ruined them.... I get it the huge growth spurt has made it incredibly harder for a lot of places because there's more people to take care of, however if the corporate side of the companies who allow extra workers to help during this busiest times I'm sure one day the workers or the managers could have kept the bathroom in better shape, Corporate world starts realizing that if you want a great business you need to be great at great hire enough to keep it great read more

Yesterday, I FINALLY went to Cook Out for the FIRST TIME!!! I DO NOT eat out often, this is WHY!! I ordered the chicken strips, fries, and a chicken quesadilla. I was EXTREMELY UNDERWHELMED‼‼ I received only a finger grab amount of fries, the quesadilla was FLAT, FLAT... it LITERALLY ONLY HAD 1 PIECE OF CHICKEN in there , barely a sprinkle of cheese, the strips were decent enough- I have never in my life seen a quesadilla FLATTER/EMPTY from a restaurant. I don't know if whoever made it was trying to be funny or what, cause what the entire he ll.. I meannn is THAT how y'all make y'all's quesadillas? The staff there is very Blah, low energy, not friendly at all- No hi, no smiles, no pleasantries NOTHING!! Finding good customer service is truly a thing of the past! I am ABSOLUTELY DISAPPOINTED with MY FIRST TIME EXPERIENCE at Cook Out!!!!! I will NOT waste my money there again! UPDATE: Today is now 4/4/25, I'm reading the reviews & just read that the combo plate came with a drink, as well... A DRINK I DID NOT RECEIVE‼ THE GIRL DIDN'T EVEN MENTION A DRINK .. Now, I'm really pissed ff‼‼‼ read more

I head about cook out a lot but never had it before because it's not in New York or Florida. I was extremely disappointed and I was underwhelmed. It definitely gave McDonalds Chicken Selects. They also forgot to give a spoon to try the Cole slaw and only gave once dipping sauce. I was really excited to try but would never go back. read more

Yesterday's visit was less than stellar, although the previous times I've been here have been good to excellent. Sister and I stopped in here to get Mom one of their milkshakes and a slice of cheesecake and I decided on their chicken nuggets for me. There were maybe 3 people dining in and maybe a handful of cars at the drive through. I waited and waited and waited and waited. Sis and I were already off schedule for our visit with Mom at Regency around the corner, and good grief, can someone take my order please? One of the three workers in the kitchen told me 3 different times "she'll be with you shortly" and it never happened. I stood around long enough to notice the interior was not clean at all. Sad experience overall and ended up at Wendys pretty much next door where we were able to get timely service and take out. read more

Food was nasty. Gave us no options for taking topping off. Like the chicken qeusdilla and chicken wrap that come with sauses. Service was terrible the old lady was being rude and impaient. Atmosphere was ok but felt unsafe the whole time. I wish i could give 0/5 stars. I would not recommend read more

I place an order for a barbecue sandwich plain with two chicken quesadillas and a huge sweet tea. Paid my money got my sweet tea and stood there for over 25 minutes waiting for my food. Other guests came in place the orders paid for it got the food I still stood there. The only took my order walked in the back disappeared came back out walk back a few minutes later never saw her again. Suffice it to say I took my $8 tea and walked out the building and not been back in months. I have no plans of ever going back again. read more

Very good food, I don't understand all the negative reviews. We were in town helping our son relocate for a job and this was a much-needed pick-me-up during a very busy move-in day. We each got a combo and for 3 of us, the total was 25 bucks, this is an incredible value, even for a fast food and the quality was good. read more

My love of Cook Out is legendary. This Cook Out has a not so good health rating last time I checked, but I'm willing to ignore that for: The SUPER friendly staff who go above and beyond The milkshakes that are OUT OF THIS WORLD The tray that is OVERFLOWING with deep fried deliciousness including, excuse me, fried okra The burger (Cook Out style, please) which there is nothing--and I mean nothing--negative to say You're in and out in a jiff and I dare you to find another place that will give you this much food for less, fast food included. read more

Our order: big double burger tray with onion rings and chicken nuggets also comes with a drink and a nacho chili style burger and fries. Milk shake machine was broken. Onion rings were great, I like that you can get the onions on the burgers grilled but the hamburger patties were a little meatloafy. We got 3 chicken nuggets my 5 year old didn't like them, they weren't really crispy. The nacho Sykes burger was good but probably wouldn't get it again. Fries are crinkle cut. Probably wouldn't go out of our way to eat her again but was decent. Comeback sauce was good too, like a zaxbys or tenders sauce read more

Food was good. We had the Cook Out Style hot dogs, which were fresh and hot. The fries were ok and the hush puppies were ok, crispy but lacking in flavor. Any place that serves Cheerwine on tap get a thumbs up. Service was terrible. The employees had no customer service skills. The lobby was filthy and the bathroom was worse. And what kind of BBQ/grill joint doesn't have ketchup or sauce available in the lobby?! Two groups were served before us even though they ordered after us. It took about 25 minutes for food. I may go through the drive thru for the hot dogs, but I'll never sit in that lobby again. Yuck! read more

Awesome concept. Especially with the local colleges in the area, open late and cheap. The layout of the restaurant is actually kind of small, especially if you are dining in. I saw around 10 tables ish I think. The whole experience was great and super fast paced. The restaurant is new, so it's super clean and remodeled. I'll be anxious to see how the cleaning and upkeep stays over the next few months. First, the service. Absolutely awesome, the ordering process was new to me and the cashier was extremely helpful. I ordered, fixed my sweet tea, and waited for my number to be called. As soon as my number was called a table opened up. It was like it was meant to be. There were a few employees walking around and checking on customers asking if everything was good. The Food. So in my eyes, this place is legit for a late night dinner or a hangover cure. It's also legit for a family dinner or lunch. You "should" order a combo. The combo is 4.99 (add $1 more for a milkshake instead of a drink) and you get to pick one "big item" two "side items" and the drink. So the big items, have about 20 items. The Sides include half or more of what the big items are! Yes, you could get a big double, chicken nuggets, and a chicken quesadilla for 4.99 with a drink. Baller! The Big Double Cheddar Style was awesome. Nacho cheese sauce, mayo, sautéed onions, and of course bacon. The patties were thin, but perfect. The corn dog was pretty good, I ate it last and it had gotten a little colder, but it was the perfect texture. The hushpuppies, generic but I love hushpuppies so it was perfect for me. You seriously have unlimited options here, I cannot wait to go back whether it's late night, early morning, or lunch. This place will have a special spot with me. PS they are I believe a Christian based company. The Huge Tea Cup has John 3:16 on it and they played some awesome tunes in the store. read more

Went through the drive through and asking for a huge tea, they said they didn't have any and I replied with, "Are you guys brewing any sweet tea?" Because I was more than willing to pull in the parking lot to wait but they snapped back with unsweet tea or a soda ma'am with extra sas. I wasn't being rude at all either so I feel super disrespected. I even said thank you and have a great day at the window and they didn't say a single thing to me. 0/10 with the service and hospitality :(( read more

Now first thing i will say is the burgers i have gotten here were terrific. The second thing i will say is the service and management are wildly inconsistent. I have had horrible service where the drive thru forgot my drinks and refused to ring some up and told me to spend 25 minutes going back thru the drive thru again. The management let a fast food burger stop run out of burgers @ 4 pm , how do you mismanage your food to the point you run out of hamburgers by 4pm on a thursday. read more

Horrible food and worse service. I was ignored at the counter so I went through the drive through. I went to pour out a cup of water and noticed the parking lot is disgusting and full of trash and vomit... the lady at the window was so incredibly rude.. she snatched my money and tossed my food at me and then slammed the door. I didn't have time to say a word and she never once even looked at me.. so bizarre. Then I open my food and it's disgusting. It was a hotdog and it looked like it came off the floor. The bun was hard as a rock and the cheese bites were old. This place should be shut down. I also noticed that other people have been mad because you can see where multiple drinks have been thrown at the drive thru window. ugh. My bad. I'm sorry I bothered you guys. read more

Cookout is a Chain from South Carolina. The home state of my favorite and illusive soda, Cheerwine. And to date, they are the only restraunt I've ever eaten at in all my years of interstate travel to serve not only Cheerwine, but Cheerwine floats. Their Burgers are average and their onions specifically I would ask to be removed because they are stringy and not very crisp. Great fries. Come here for the Cheerwine if for anything else just to experience Cheerwine. Every Cherry Soda fan needs a Cheerwine. read more

First time here and will absolutely be back! Very clean and very friendly employees. The food was fresh and delicious. Can't wait to try one of their many many choices of milkshakes read more

Got four cheeseburgers this time, all burnt and inedible. Last time we went the burgers were dry and freakishly small. Staff impatient and rude. Don't waste your time. This was the Decatur location. read more

Stopped for shakes and they were very good. We were in Huntsville for a other reason and my family kept asking for shakes. I remembered hearing the hoopla over this place and surprised them with a trip up the parkway. The menu looked really good and the special on the board looked like a killer deal for $4.99!! There were a lot of shake flavors to choose from and they were only $2.99!! Great price! Pulling up to the drive-thru window the guy was very friendly. He told us how Cook Out raises their own beef in North Carolina and how it is all lade fresh. The grilled, burger smell coming from the window was very good. We got our shakes in a decent time and they were all fabulous. Banana fudge, Oreo mint, and a Snickers. They were kind of tough to suck through the straw but they gave spoons as well. We will be back given the opportunity. read more

Located among tattoo parlors and pawn shops in North Huntsville is a new restaurant called Cook Out. I think they opened about 2 months ago and they have drawn huge crowds. Today was no different with the drive-thru lane backed up and about 10 people inside waiting to give their orders. Although the line was long they were quick to process the orders. The menu can be a little confusing, but after a couple minutes to study it the decision was very clear...order the "tray". You get to select your sandwich, two sides, and a drink... and all of this is $4.99. I ordered a double cheeseburger, a corn dog, Cajun fries, and a drink. That is a lot of food for $4.99. My number was quickly called and I sat down to eat. The burger was a little small so I am glad I ordered the double. The burger tasted like burgers you cook outside on the grill. Not sure how they induced that flavor, maybe with charcoal, but it was good. The corn dog was average and Cajun fries had plenty of Cajun seasoning. The restaurant was clean and they posted a Board of Health score of 94. The walls were lined with Alabama A&M and Oakwood college memorabilia, so they catering to the local college students. My ticket was $5.93. read more

Me and my boyfriend went he ordered a walking taco, chicken quesadilla, and chicken buffalo wrap. I got slaw, cheddar bites, chicken fingers and cheese fries He said his walking taco meat was a lil weird but not too bad, chicken quesadilla and wrap didn't have enough sauce in them and was kinda dry. My slaw was the great, cheddar bites was good AFTER I went to Arby's to get marinara bc they did not have any, chicken fingers was good after I got ranch from Arby's bc they also didn't have ranch, cheese fries were kinda gross just had a weird taste and wasn't that appetizing. We asked for a large Dr Pepper it looked like a regular, had no ice in it and was actually mr pibb (which is fine, normally workers tell you though) It was very annoying ordering the food first we told her give us a minute please and she kept interrupting the silence are u ready are u ready , and then after each listed item she kept saying is that all is that all, heard the person behind us apologize sorry one more item I guess she did it to them too. But pretty quick cheap and they was busy. Got handed the food straight up no bag or anything just the 2 boxes and one paper sack worth. read more

My favorite "fast food" place. Everything's fresh and cooked to order and the prices make it affordable to feed a family. I just tried the chili dog for the first time and love the spicy, salty, sweet combination of grilled hot dog, chili and slaw. My new favorite. If you have never tried their watermelon milkshake, go get one this week. They are amazing, but only available in July and August. read more

I had been to the location in Tuscaloosa about a year back and after hearing that Huntsville was getting one I immediately got excited. We went in to eat at lunch time the first week they were opened and the place was packed. We got in the line that was wrapped around the inside of the building and looked over the menu while we waited. After getting up to the counter I ordered the combo. They are countless choices to pair together but I ultimately ended up getting the Regular Burger, Cajun Fries, Onion Rings, and a large drink. All that food for only $4.99! Seriously you can't beat that anywhere around town. After ordering we waited off to the side with several other people. When they called out our number I was surprised becasue we had only been waiting for only about 5 minutes and they were packed. After looking for a table we saw that they were all occupied so we were forced to go to our car to eat. After opening up the plastic take out box the food comes in I was pleased to see the burger was a little above average in size and there was a good amount of the sides as well. The burger that I ordered came with the meat, lettuce, tomato, pickle, ketchup, and mustard. The burger tasted good but nothing to rave about. The French Fries were very crispy and the Cajun seasoning on them gave them a nice kick. The Onion Rings were certainly the highlight of the meal. The breading on the outside was cooked very well. Also on my second visit we went in for the single purpose of getting a milkshake. I got a peanut butter and fudge milkshake. It was very thick and had amazing flavor. Overall I'd say that Cookout has decent food and the main attraction to return is the amount of food you receive at such a low price. read more

I've always enjoyed Cookout and was delighted to see that Huntsville finally acquired one. Not a huge fan of this Cookout's location, but overall the food quality is the same as others I've visited and just as good. I love this place for the chili dogs and burgers. The dogs are grilled which adds a nice flavor and the burgers are always juicy. An interesting selection of sides tops off this special menu. Overall, I will be back when I'm in the area. However, I will have a hard time ever replacing my "go-to" spot for burgers and chili dogs at Big Spring Café. read more

I was truly blown away with the value of this spot. We were in town for a college campus visit and can across this joint. They have "cookout" type food on the menu: grilled chicken, hot dogs, corn dogs, BBQ sandwiches, and wraps. I must say, this was pretty good. For $4.99 I got a sandwich, double fries, and a drink. My family of my four ate for only $23. When we come back to Huntsville, Cookout is on the list. read more

Worst cook out ever. Waited 35 minutes with 4 cars in front of us in the drive through. The lady serving the window would not repeat our order because we were unsure if she heard it all. Then they are out of sweet tea & the fries they served us were crinkle fries...cookout has steak fries so riddle me that. read more

My first experience at this chain and will likely not be my last. I had the Cheeseburger Combo with Fries and Hush Puppies. Cheeseburger and Fries were both better than average fast food versions. The hush puppies were excellent and a large serving size. I need to go back and try one of the many choices for Milkshakes in the near future. read more

Really good food and the trays you can get a variety of food and the tea is awesome if you have not tried it go try it you will like it

The day shift is better than the night shift, but I think that's everywhere.... anywhere past 9 pm, they're always really slow.

I went through the drive-thru on Sparkman drive, I got sick looking at the drive-through walls and window.

Haven't been here in months! The last time I went, there were strands of hair at the bottom of my cup.

First and last time at the cookout, ordered fries and onion rings with my burger (salty and overcooked to the point of being crunchy) fries were okay but got two, yes two small onion rings hidden under my fries. Sorry Jack's I should have gone to see you last night. Cookout, the novelty will wear off and people will stop waiting in your drive through for such poorly prepared food. Thumbs down read more

Let me just say this is not my first visit to cookout and if it was I'd not come back. The girl taking orders kept asking me what I wanted like she wasn't listening. If I could have gotten out of line then I would have. I should not have to repeat myself multiple times. Finally I get my order placed. I get to the window and made my transaction and asked for Mayo and bbq sauce. We are out of packets of Mayo ok whatever and bbq is $0.38. For one cup? You can keep your bbq sauce. I get my order home and I'm so excited because I know how everything is supposed to taste. My first bite of my bacon wrap the tortilla was stale but whatever I will eat it anyway. Then I go for my chicken quesadilla no sauce. I check it before I take a bite and it had EXTRA sauce. Blech. I don't like the sauce and it left a bad taste in myself. I didn't even finish it. I threw it away. My burger was good with the exception my onions were RAW not grilled or sautéed. This is not the cookout experience I've had before. I used to go weekly in North Carolina and never had this awful of an experience. I wish I would've never wasted my money. read more
