Great place to stop in for a quick lunch. We both ordered the trays with regular hamburger with cheese mine French fries and cheese curds. His with onion rings and hush puppies. I loved the music that was playing was Sirius radio the message and loved the verse on the cup I never knew that was a part of cookout :) Good food for fast food and reasonably priced! read more

Haven't had Cook Out in a few years, I remembered I liked it, this time, not so much. Burger was dry small and pretty tasteless. I had the one with BBQ sauce, ordered the sauce on the side but nope they put it on the burger. Hush puppies were OK, nothing special, the onion rings were decent. It'll be another lonnnnggg time before i go back. I'll spend my dollars elsewhere thank you. read more

Just terrible. Bacon wrap, the tortilla was crisper than the bacon! Burger was overcooked like normal. Fries were cold and had no seasoning. The corndog was good! read more

I asked for 2 hamburger patties for my dog. Got one. I asked for honey mustard for my corndog which later made me throw it all up. So I don't recommend this place in Thomasville N.C.27360. The help is disgusting and doesn't pay attention to what your saying when you place your order. I PASS. read more

Tasty, affordable, fast food! We needed a quick bite to eat so we thought we'd try this place out. We got a couple regular burgers and a Banana Pudding Shake for $10 plus tax. Burgers were good and shake was very good. Staff were helpful and courteous. Plenty of indoor seating available and clean. Great value! read more

with my husband we got our cheesecakes with toppings. My husband missed several of his toppings on what he asked and the food doesnt look the same as they show it.. very bad food read more

My wife is busy tearing someone a new one. Will see what happens to this review once it's all said and done! The drive-through is quick, I'll give them that. But they are making time at the expense of being organized. What a mess --Update: adding a star. As I was sitting in line I was looking at the previous reviews and wondered if the same kinds of things would happen to us. It turns out it did and so I made sure to check our order. We got the order from the car in front of us and they got ours, but the drinks were right. I went back up to the drive-through and they had no clue what happened, what I had, etc. Fortunately the lady in the other car walked up at the same time and we exchanged the food. When I got back to the car I checked again and saw that our "double" onion rings equates to 3. I get double onion rings every time I go to cook out and the amount is usually 7-10. So my wife went back up to the drive-through and spoke to the manager and he made it right. In the end the food was good Cook Out quality. Their tenders and burgers are pretty consistently great as are the fries and onion rings. I know that businesses would probably prefer to resolve the issues that come up instead of receiving a negative review, but it makes it difficult to do when there is a drive-through only situation. I have been to many different cook outs and I've never had this kind of issue. In my mind the solution is for the store management to figure out how to organize their system better and provide training with emphasis on accuracy over speed. In the end would I go to the store again? I sure would, but I would definitely be checking my order before I left. read more

I will edit my rating when things change! 1. Bring back the Huge Burger! It's the only burger that was ever any good! The bread to meat ratio is perfect and the taste is fantastic! 2. Reopen this dining room! I am sick of going through overly long drive through lines because you are too lazy to reopen your dining room. My family and I used to love coming inside and have a Sunday evening meal there together. I don't want to sit with them in the car and stink up my car with fast food smell. It's time now! 3. The watermelon milkshake makes my stomach turn. I don't think that combo is supposed to be a thing. 4. I have loved CookOut for a long time. Don't let this be another North Carolina business that loses its focus because it gets too big to manage. Get back to your simple goodness and value. Bring back the dining rooms. Bring back the Bible verses. Bring back the Andy Griffith and nascar themes. Don't go woke!!! read more

Waited at the walk up window for 25 minutes, workers kept looking, we were told it was open but no one bothered to come take our order. When we were walking away a worker made a shooing motion. 10/10 do NOT recommend. read more

I live close to this cookout and everytime I go it's a terrible experience. Everyone there is so beyond rude, and always get the order wrong. It's extremely disappointing and thinking of driving an extra 20 mins to go to another because this one is just that bad. If I could do zero stars I would. read more

The Cookout burger, lettuce tomato onion and extra mayo the flavor set them apart from the pack of quantity over quality burger joints its close to homemade smoky juicy and i loved every bite quite often. Haven't ate at this location in a while but due to winter weather grabbed a double burger and was very disappointed it was a dry bitter small patties on a stale tasting bun nightmare. What happened to the juicy backyard flavor? All the fond memories faded like the flavorless pucks of (meat?)that was on this bun. Save your tastebuds the shock eat somewhere else. read more

How hard is it to put everything in a bag. how hard is it to wait until all items are done cooking and put them in the fucking bag. If you can't work fast food how the hell do you expect to make it in the real world lmao. I feel sad for these kids parents. read more

God Bless Cookout. This one in Kernersville offers plenty of seating inside and out, sometimes a rarity for Cookouts. The staff was friendly as I ordered my hot dogs and a soda. It seemed to take a while to get my order and eventually I had to go and check on it. By the time I got to the counter my order was waiting there. The gentleman at the register let me know that they had run out of regular hot dogs so they had given me a foot long instead of one of my regular ones. Umm. . . yes please! Pretty good dogs and solid service. I'm consistently a Cookout fan and will visit as often as my waistband allows. read more

I'm not a big fan of fast food, but this is one of the few places all of my kids will agree on without a big negotiation, and the Kernersville location is one of the nicest in the Triad. I think it's the corporate headquarters (there are offices in the back) and the restaurant always seems clean and well-managed. A combo tray is $4.79 and includes an entree, two sides and a drink which is a DEAL. read more

First time ever eating at cookout and it will be my last. Ordered the jumbo double burger tray. Burger was cooked to charcoal and the double patties were the size of a quarter. Easily more meat on a regular McDonald's hamburger. Tasted totally disgusting. Fries were cold and soggy and hardly looked like a double order. Will never ever ever eat at cookout again. Would rather starve to death first!! read more

Good reasonable priced food, but it's ridiculous this chain has not open any of their dining rooms since Covid. This location only offer ONE table outside. read more

Went to the Kernersville location about 10 minutes ago and 2 employees where behind the pick-up window yelling at each other about the male employee grabbing the females butt. I'll gladly drive to High Point from now on. read more

How..? Just how do you consistently screw up every single order I ever place Cookout? I mean seriously? It should be on your sign. "Welcome to cookout, hope you like the random stuff we were gonna give you." The only thing worse than all of the entitled 16-20 year olds, and their crippling nicotine addictions and their lifted trucks that their daddies bought for em in your parking lot till ungodly hours, is the sheer fact that you just can't even get an order right. Dang, I got a Mr. Pibb, a MISTER PIBB, and you somehow screwed that up and gave me a sweet tea. Yea, those sound real similar. When you really sound it out in your head. Pibb, tea, I mean it almost rhymes doesn't it? DOESNT IT?! The Moobys from Clerks 2 was better run and managed than this joint. Great job cookout. Just spectacular. I hate you. You suck. Your saving grace is that you are one of only two late night food options in Kernersville and I wasn't feeling tacos. I looked up the Bible verse on all of your food bags and it says to "trust in the lord with all your heart". You know what I trust in Cookout? I trust Cookout you to get my food completely wrong, for my experience their to be awful, and the wait to be too long. I mean seriously, my orders aren't even that hard. It's not like we're assembling the worlds top scientists and flying to mars. It's not like I'm rolling up and asking for a spaghetti dinner with handmade marinara sauce and a medium rare filet mignon. A plain sandwich. A sandwich with the meat and the bread and boom your done. That's it! That's the easiest part of the job. That's like if you got elected to the presidency and all you were responsible for was pardoning the turkey once a year for thanksgiving. But you mess it all up. Instead of plain you overload my sandwich with all this mess I don't want. Instead of pardoning the turkey you punch him off the table into a fryer in front of a group of vegan kindergarteners and splash the hot grease all over the class hamster that they brought with them. read more

Of my favorite places. All the food is good, love their milkshakes better than anyone else's.

When I go to North Carolina, the only thing I think about on the flight there is COOKOUT!! Where else can you go and get food that taste like you are at a real cookout, but you are not really at one?? COOKOUT. Where can you go to get a meal and your side item choices consists of a corn dog or chicken nuggets? COOKOUT lol it's the only place I know of that can make this happen. And this location is different! This is the only one I've come across that actually has a dine in space. COOKOUT is amazing and I find myself craving a grilled chicken tray as soon as I get on the place to return to NY :-( read more

They didn't give me half of my food and what they did give me was completely wrong. Don't go there worst cookout in the area

Tasty burger and they were able to work around my picky no bun order with a smile. The drawbacks were minimal: no kids meal, and no smaller version of their shake. read more

I would have had a better experience if I opened the register, put money in for my order, made the food myself, and then walked out and never returned. Not a single person had the slightest clue what they were doing, and there were over a dozen employees all contributing to the chaos. After a grueling wait, we finally got food. Not our food. Just food. There wasn't a single order done right, and to be honest I'm not even surprised. Wouldn't come here if I was paid, and I love cookout. 1 star. read more

I believe Cookout may be a North Carolina thing, because I've never seen it up north or out west. Anyway, it's great! We lived on Cookout while renovating our kitchen. It's fast, without being fast food. I's open until like 2 am on weekends and it's usually pretty packed at night too. There are four sizes of burger:: small (1/8 lb), regular (1/4 lb), large (1/3), and huge, which consists of 2 regular burgers. You get a choice of onions, pickles, ketchup, mayonnaise and mustard. I get it all, and add cheese for 35 cents, and tomato for 10 cents. The large order of fries is big enough for 2 people, I think. They have premium shakes in 40+ flavors (watermelon shakes are available July-August, and eggnog shakes are available around December). They also have really good corn dogs! I had their chicken fingers once or twice, but neither time did it make an impression on me, 'cause I can't remember what they tasted like. Tip: Be careful when turning out of the 2-lane drive-thru! read more

So it's been several years since I've eaten at Cookout and I really was excited to visit again. Over 10 years ago I worked for Cookout and Jeremy and really appreciated the high standards that the company held. It's funny how time and money changes things. They have now expanded into multiple states and who knows if Jeremy is even involved anymore. I live on the west coast and my two children live in the triad. I visited the K'ville location the other day and the quality was terrible. The hot dog chili looked and taste burnt and the chili was slopped on top and made the sandwich hard to eat so in the trash it went. The fries were cold and looked disgusting like they had been sitting and then re-cooked. read more

Goodbye fast food, this place sets a new standard for drive thru cuisine. People are extremely helpful and courteous. Food was YUMMY!! I could eat here everyday. Get the burgers, they're amazing good! read more

I'd give this place less than a star. Been here twice and twice they got my order wrong. First time they were cussing were you could hear everything on the intercom. Second time they were still cussing but fighting with each other. read more

This place really deserves a label of a good fast food. Food here is really delicious and quickly prepared. And the most pleasurable thing about this place is their Milkshakes, best in the neighborhood! I am giving this place five stars with an open heart. read more

I'm really starting to hate this Cookout! The only cookout that Ive ever been to that has horrible customer service! Almost every cashier I've ever encountered has been somewhat rude. How dare I ask for ketchup or why you charged me twice for cheese on one burger! Usually cookout is super fast. This one is slooow and I always seem to leave irritated. Food is ok but better at most other locations. Avoid this one if you can. read more

This is the best place for fast food burgers anywhere. The shakes are better than any diner in the U.S. I wish there was a Cook-Out in PDX. Those who are lactose intolerant must take care with the milkshakes. I learned this the hard way, but it was worth it just this once. read more

We were traveling from Ohio to see friends who lived in the area and they told us that WE HAD TO TRY Cookout as it had really good food and the BEST milkshakes. We gave it a whirl. We ordered a Pulled Pork BBQ sandwich and a Hamburger Combo with onion rings. Needless to say, I had to order ANOTHER pork sandwich as it was so amazing we had to get another. The hamburger was juicy. Seasoned. And yummy. The onion rings were on point. AND THE SHAKES?!!!!!! Freaking amazeballs. Will be visiting The Cookout Everytime we come down here. #bringittoohio read more

4 words: One bite, you're hooked. How I haven't grown up to become morbidly obese and confined to my bed is way beyond me! Growing up on the poor side, there were 3 eateries that served as treats when a little extra money was available for splurging: Libby Hill, Ham's and COOKOUT. As soon as I got to high school and had a steady flow of my own hard earned money, Cookout became my Go-To spot every time I was hungry, had the munchies or realized it'd been over 12 hours since my last Cookout fix! (lol) There are so many wonderful options to choose from that if I were to try and describe them all, you'd be reading for days lol So I am just going to give you my personal favorites. Whenever I am in town, I don't even make my way to my mother's house without first stopping to order this: 1------- a foot long Cookout Style hot dog (topped with a hefty helping of home made chili, coleslaw, onions, mustard and ketchup) 2-------a large order of Cajun, steak cut fries (so thick you'd swear you were eating meat!) 3-------a creamy, home made cheesecake milkshake (there are literally chunks of cheesecake inside that get stuck in the straw; no worries though, they give you a spoon to eat it with). *O-M-Goodness, my mouth is actually watering from the thought! Just call me one of Pavlov's dogs...* This is a gem that can only be found in NC; I have yet to find it in any other state and believe me when I say it's a bittersweet fact. Bitter because I have to travel all the way to NC just to get my fix (lol). Sweet because we all know how the quality of something homegrown and local can potentially decline once it becomes a franchise. But since it hasn't crossed NC borders, the hospitality remains just as warm and welcoming as its amazing menu. I have never received anything less than a cheery disposition at the window in the thousands of times I have eaten there...it's as if they all literally love their job! It used to be a drive thru only establishment, with 2 lines to ensure expedited service but you can now also sit inside and eat...bonus! And oh, the prices, the prices, the pocket friendly prices! The meal I described above never cost me more than $5 and some change; I always leave with both my belly and my wallet thanking me. If you ever find yourself in the good ole Tarheel State, don't do yourself the injustice of passing by! I promise you will soon find yourself in a U-turn, heading right back for a 2nd (3rd...4th?) order...I know I do! read more
