Really great deal for $10. Came here after a concert and the diners around the area was all packed. For a double patty bacon cheeseburger, two sides (I got chicken nuggets and fries) and a beverage, You really can't beat the price! The burger was flavorful and tasted fresh with a really nice size to it. The chicken nuggets came in 3 or 4 but it was a nice surprise that it's an side option. It's a great options for those drunken late nights when your favorite diners are hella packed. read more

Cook Out - Late night drunk food. Double bacon cheeseburger with fries and chicken nuggets for the sides. Amazing - Hot Dogs Near Me - Kennesaw, Georgia

All the employees that I could see from the drive thru were wearing their masks on their chins. The food quality was terrible. The burgers and chicken were half the size of the bun and the amount of fries was laughable. Definitely won't be back! read more

Currently been in the drive thru for 20+ minutes just now got my food. The burgers are always burnt unless you come around lunch time. Hush puppies burnt as well. Staff is always rude hardly says anything. Had the sit at the window an extra 4 minutes just for them to come back to ask for a straw and some ketchup. Amazing locations when they first opened...not sure what went wrong. read more

Love it so much the milkshakes are to die for love them all I do not have a favorite one if I had to pick it would be the Oreo one I love it and chocolate chip cherry is my second favorite one I love it and the hush puppies are my favorite I love it. read more

As far as fast food goes, taste is much better than the usual chains. It's quick and you can't beat the price. As far as customer service goes, these employees leave something to be desired and could use some coaching. Every employee I see looks so far beyond unenthused, you'd think you were at a funeral. Order taking is rushed like they are trying to herd cattle, and feels very pressured. Know what you want before you get there. We come here regularly and not once have we ever been greeted at the drive thru with a smile or a hello, or thank you when you leave. Windows are slammed in your face, and eye contact is avoided. We'll keep coming because it's convenient, but if I were the manager, I'd hold my employees to a higher standard of basic expectations in quick exchanges since you're in the food service industry. A smile would be a good start. read more

We went to cookout and some girl complained about not getting enough food for her double order. Next thing I know I we get back to check our order and we literally got 2 fried white cheddar bites. That was an entire side that was completely disregarded and money wasted over nothing. All of the employees have the worst attitude ever and no one will care about your order read more

to start off the people at this location are RUDE! i ordered a cookout tray with a burger, hush puppies, and cheese bites.....as you can see they gave me freakin 3......ridiculous! ordered a large water, was given a medium sized drink instead! not to mention we were the only car in the drive through. read more

Cook Out - a container of fried food - Hot Dogs Near Me - Kennesaw, Georgia

plain and simple they just need to get it together. two girls working on the cashiers are fooling around and no one in my group of 7 could get at least one order right. i've worked in fast food and it's the simplest job my 7 year old niece could do better. smh just going down hill :/ read more

This location is usually fine but i ordered and everything yet did not get to say a word and the drive thru girl repeated herself with much attitude. Went back inside and had to order something else only to not be greeted just stared at expected to speak. Very rude little girls with no respect towards anyone. Absolutely disrespectful which will likely not even get addressed. No napkins either or silverware. read more

They messed up our order, we sent it back, they gave us the wrong order again, we sent it back, they then got angry with us instead of taking responsibility. Gave us the Order one more time and it was finally correct. But the meal we ate got both me and my girlfriend sick. Never coming back. Awful service read more

Driving to Chattanooga is really a tough one, so sometimes you need to stop for lunch when you reach the faraway town of Kennesaw. Clearly this is why Cook-Out opened up a location just off 75 here. Typically Cook-Out locations seem to be free standing and not involved in any sort of shopping center. This one is kind of tucked back a little into this huge bunch of businesses just east of 75 and before Busbee Parkway. If you miss the first turn in like I did because I didn't realize it until it was back in here until it was too late, you can turn in from Busbee Parkway. It is basically right next to California Dreaming though a parking lot is between the two. Despite having a decent size interior, good luck finding a nearby parking spot. I ended up giving up and just using the drive thru. It's hard not to order the Cook-Out tray since it's so ridiculous how much food you get for $5.29 (that's including tax). Since I was just going to eat while I drove, I tried to pick things that'd be easy to eat and got chicken tenders with sides of fries and a chicken quesadilla. For a drink I had to go with the reason I ever come to Cook-Out, the great Cheerwine float. I got my food quickly, and service was great. My drivers side window tends to die when there's a lot of moisture in the air and I have to yell out the door and they even heard me just fine without having to repeat anything when I ordered! As for the food, you know, it's what it is for how cheap it is. The chicken tenders though were surprisingly good. They don't come with a sauce or anything by default, though I wouldn't have wanted any given the whole driving thing, but I'm not sure what they have/if they charge or anything. The fries are average, but the quesadilla was surprisingly good. And of course, Cheerwine floats are amazing. I think I found my new stop on the way...it works right because it's about 25% of the way up, right? read more

The North Carolina chain has recently started expanding into GA, and they finally opened a spot in Kennesaw. I've been meaning to try one of these places for a while, so I'm glad I don't have to wait for my next road trip. So far, I've had the following: A small burger with cheese and grilled onions, which is adequately sized for a basic burger. Grilled onions were done well (though, they were a little heavy on the amount of onion), and the cheese was American. Like I said, the portion was fine for me, but they do make bigger burgers if you're hungrier. BBQ pork sandwich. You can get yours with slaw, but I got mine without, as I'm not generally a slaw fan. sandwich was simple and vinegar-based NC style (generally my personal favorite style). It's not what you're going to get at a home coking barbecue joint, but for the price and the fact that this is chain BBQ, it's tasty. And, it's nice not to have to deal with low-end Kansas City dark ketchup barbecue that most chains put out. Good if you are here and want to break from the norm of a burger or hot dog. Fries and onion rings. Fries were thicker straight-cut fries. They weren't too greasy or mushy, and they were salted the right amount. Onion rings were battered and appeared to be whole onion slices. Another plus is the price. I got a Cook-Out Tray for $4.99 which included the BBQ Sandwich, two sides (fries and onion rings) and a drink. This is cheaper than any fast food combo in the area almost, and it tasted much better. I added the small burger with cheese, and my entire meal was just under seven dollars. The staff was also friendly when we came in. There was someone who asked whether we had been before, and he guided us to a menu, explained how things work, and offered some suggestions. Our order was correct, and it was prepared quickly. The interior is also clean (I know it's a new restaurant, but hopefully this keeps up). I'm hesitant to rate this higher than four stars until I try more menu items, but it may take over Cheeseburger Bobby's as my favorite burger chain in the area if they keep things up. read more

Cook out was incredibly disappointing tonight. We waited 45 minutes at the drive thru (they usually never take that long) but when we finally got home to eat our food the burgers were SO burnt and I mean so BURNT that we couldn't eat them. They were black and hard as a rock. I mean I know they usually taste a little charred which is usually good but DANG I mean it was so bad. I don't think we will be returning for a while. Very disappointed because we love cook out Lesson learned to check your food before you leave the drive thru! read more

Cook Out - Burnt burger (not even the worst out of them) - Hot Dogs Near Me - Kennesaw, Georgia

I try not to eat too much fast food, but sometimes I can't resist. This Cook-Out is just awesome. I don't normally do lists as a review, but this Cook-Out has earned one. Here's what's right about this place: 01. It's clean - 100-A health rating, and it's spotless 02. The employees are friendly 03. The combo meals are $4.99 and include TWO sides and drinks 04. You can get french fries, hush puppies, slaw, onion rings, or a dozen other side items 05. Corndogs, chicken nuggets, and quesadillas are considered side items!!! 06. You can get a double-burger for the same price as a regular burger in the combo 07. They make good milkshakes 08. The food is fresh (meat comes in daily, and is not frozen) 09. The portions are huge 10. There is a frozen yogurt place two doors down I don't know how this place makes any money on their food. I get that the milkshakes are much higher margin items, but how can you pay the bills when you can order a double meat burger, chicken nuggets and a quesadilla (plus a drink) for $5? If you are craving junk food, you can't beat this place. read more

We heard about Cook-Out in Kennesaw and thought we'd give it a try and hoped our kids would like it. I have to state, I read the reviews prior to going and this place is clearly geared towards college students, cheap food, cheap prices. Got it. The food was like McDs or Burger King (which we avoid). All the food was frozen, nothing fresh whatsoever, nothing notable except our stomach aches after eating there. It is what it is... Yes... That is it! I won't be back BUT... if I was a college student I would rotate this greasy spoon with my Ramen Noodles and Mac-n-Cheese supply. read more

I love this location when I'm in a hurry and what to grab something to eat for a low price. Every time I go to this location I get my order speedy with great customer service. Most of the workers are some of the college students from the local college near it, and they always have a nice & spunky type of attitude which is really refreshing when your having a rough day..... Lol read more

Cook Out - Barbecue plate with hush puppies and Cajun fries. - Hot Dogs Near Me - Kennesaw, Georgia

The food was delicious. The atmosphere was hectic as is expected on a Friday night in a college town. This would have been a great review, even after having to wait 50 mins for our food after it was "lost". Don't worry. They found it. The low review comes from having ordered a cappuccino shake. Never receiving it and then upon them eventually bestowing it on me, it was vanilla. When we tried to trade it out for what I actually ordered, they demanded proof, we brought the vanilla shake and waited for the cappuccino. The counter girl snapped at us to take it away with a "I don't want that shit." Well we didn't want your shit either, cookout. Do unto others, right? read more

When you get to the middle of what you thought was good and taste blood. This is disgusting. They should really be ashamed of this. read more

For the value, this is our new go to place for the kids. At 4.99 a person, you can't go wrong. Honestly we could have easily just for 3 meals and a 4th drink extra and been more than enough food for 4 of us. The kids for 2 hot dogs each, fries and onion rings. Wife got 2 chili dogs, chicken nuggets and onion rings, and I got a double burger , fries and onion rings. Thad 4.99 per person. And that comes with a drink! Killer deal for families! read more

Cookout is great!!! A great menu selection with affordable pricing!! Me my wife and 2 year old daughter ate for $12 bucks... read more

Get the Banana pudding milkshake. JUST DO IT!!!!! It's amazzziingg

This is such a neat concept! The food was decent and CHEAP. The decor was that of a lodge and super casual. The cook out tray is such a great value. For $5.99 you get an entree and two sides, where the sides are more like little entrees because they include quesadillas and corn dogs, for example. For $1 more you get a shake from their EXTENSIVE list of flavors instead of a soda. Here you pay roughly the same price as some value meals at popular fast food chains, yet the quality of the food is much better, comparatively. That's especially true with their Cajun chicken sandwich, according to my husband. We're also big fans of how food tastes on an actual grill as opposed to a flat-top grill, so that's a big plus for us. Only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is because the food isn't out of this world, but the environment and value definitely make this place special. This is now on my go-to lunch list for when I meet with my husband. Love it! read more

I love Cookout, but this is the literal worst. The staff act like they don't enjoy working there and can barely comprehend simple questions. Heaven forbid you have a family member with celiac disease because they'll mess up their order not once but twice. The staff needs to be retrained with a new culture put into place & practiced. Otherwise, they should just fire pretty much everyone and start over. Like I said, I love Cookout, but I will not visit the Kennesaw location on Chastain Rd. again...what a shame! read more

The best, cheap fast food ever with a $5 meal that includes a wide range of options. If you went to college in the south, you've got a connection with this place. Ps... their milkshake brings all the boys to the yard! Seriously amazing! read more

It was pretty good for a burger joint. I thnk it's in line with Cheese burger bobbies and fudruckers. I've had amazing burgers and this was good but not amazing. The fries were above average and the prices were average. All in all it's worth the trip, the money, and I will go back. read more

Cook Out - Hot Dogs Near Me - Kennesaw, Georgia

I've been to several Cook Out locations and they all provide something that's increasingly hard to find: good simple food for a super affordable price. That's the sweet spot that Cook Out lives in. Their burgers and side dishes aren't anything fancy. To be honest, they're items you could make at home with equal quality. But it seems Cook Out knows this, and adjusts their prices accordingly. So while the food itself doesn't blow you away, what you get with a 5 dollar bill more than makes up for it. Keep that in mind when you see the score I've given it, for sure. While it's great to have a night out at a unique or fancy spot, sometimes you just wanna relax with some friends at a simple restaurant. Cook Out provides that without a doubt. read more

I can't speak to the food because the staff was so rude we didn't stay to eat. You never can reach anyone on the phone so today I tried to go in. I asked about options for allergies and gluten free and before I could get it out off mouth I was met with a "No we have NOTHING!" Then the two staff members were talking about us before we left. Whoever manages or owns this place better do something about their staff because it doesn't matter what the food is like if your staff literally runs people off. read more

Dude. What was I thinking going at 5:30 p.m. I was craving a cheeseburger and fries all day, and man was I so disappointed. This food is purely for broke college kids and drunken late nights. We ordered a small feast for $13, yes, but barely ate any of it. Small cheeseburger- not worth it at all, it's mostly bread and onions Double burger cheddar style- Way better than small cheeseburger but nothing great. Was the only thing that we finished. Cajun chicken sandwich and chicken nuggets- Nasty af. Seriously how do people eat these things. Fries- nope. TL;DR: Should have gone to McDonalds to try new "fresh" quarter pounder instead to satisfy my twice a year junk food cravings. read more

Awesome place to get a wide variety of food at a very cheap price. Also have a great selection of frozen drinks as well read more

Cook Out - Hot Dogs Near Me - Kennesaw, Georgia

TLDR: You've probably had better customer service at other Cook Out locations, but this is one of the few food options late around the KSU campus. Let's face it, the Cook Out tray has got to be on the best deals on food just about anywhere. For five bucks, you can potentially get almost two meals' worth of food and is probably one of the best values when it comes to calories eaten versus dollars spent. And of course, you can't forget about the milkshakes at Cook Out. Yes, they are undoubtedly so unhealthy for you, but more times than not, they're worth it. It's no wonder that this place is so popular all around the southeast United States. To keep it in perspective, it is still a fast food place, so obviously don't come in here expecting some gourmet food and top of the line customer service. While there is probably some standard that just about anybody expects from a fast food place, this particular Cook Out doesn't exactly meet that. But if you're if a KSU student looking for a cheap meal late at night as a study break, Cook Out isn't a bad option. You got Jimmy John's and Waffle House, and you got the much more expensive Iron Age when it comes to late(r) night meals. Like a good number of the other reviews here, customer service here isn't exactly friendly and they do frequently mess up on orders. But hey, you're probably spending about $5 or so here, so you get what you pay for right? While not exactly a saving grace, the food itself usually isn't too bad. read more

I'm not one for fast food on a daily or weekly basis, but one of my girlfriends loves this spot to cure her "munchies". So, after a late night gathering of the "kind" .. We all piled in the ride and headed down to "COOK-OUT". Mind blown!!! The drive thru was PACKED @ 2 AM and it was worth the wait. The "Huge" burger w/bacon and cheese, thick cut fries and Orange Push Up shake (took me right back to my childhood) .. Was worth the $8 bucks per person! I try NOT to stop in so often, but I'm determined to try every shake on that list, plus making up some of my own. Thank god for that gym membership! COOK-OUT, late night or lunch. Stop in and drop some change. You won't be disappointed. read more

DO NOT USE THE DRIVE THRU! I have never gotten the correct order. Ever. Go inside, order check everything... Make them fix it. Or, don't pull away, stay at the window. Check everything. Let the line back up and make them fix it PS I don't like the food but kids do. read more

If you go to cookout, you know what you're in for. You can't complain about quality when you're getting that much food for so cheap. Go in, get your tendies, and bounce. Don't change cookout, we love you read more

Loved the one we used to frequent when we lived in Raleigh, as it was as cheap as any fast food, but a huge step above in quality. This location though is just bad. Incredibly greasy. Tore through my family quickly and made for a miserable evening afterwards. read more

I normally love this place! I came in today and the guy on front taking our order was in a extremely bad mood!! Our food came out at a good pace but was thrown on the counter and then they walked away so my husband had to stand up there for no joke 10min before someone gave him some ketchup. Bad experience but I normally love this place. read more

The food was really good,but the service was terrible, the lady was so rude to my mother and I in the drive thru!

David with the shaved-ish head and big blue eyes is the best employee this store has ever had. Thanks for a fantastic experience. read more

Regular fast food joint, but the only reason I am even writing this review is the milkshakes. As far as milkshakes go they have really good milkshakes, and that is their main selling point. However, I take three stars off due to the food. Their food is just plain grease, no real surprise here though. Go here for the milkshakes, go elsewhere for food. read more

This place sucks!! Customer service sucks! This was our first time going here and it was a terrible experience. We waited for 40 minutes for a chicken sandwich and BBQ plate. We had to go up several times to ask for the status. Everyone around us received their food but us. When we finally got our food it was cold. By that time we had had it. We asked for a refund and left then went right over to Del Taco for some fresh, hot food. read more
