    Cook out order received
    Peter D.

    Cook Out never disappoints! Number 1 fan honestly with a an amazing menu. Everything here hits the mark: the burger is A+ and satisfying, and the hush puppies are perfectly crisp on the outside and soft inside. Service is always quick and friendly, and the sauces are bountiful. The standout for me, though, is the Orange Pop Milkshake. It's a must tbh. It captures a nostalgic, creamsicle-like flavor that keeps me coming back. Will forever be a Cook Out Stan

    Chicken sandwich
    Will M.

    First time trying this and was really impressed! $14.50 for a burger, corn dog, chicken quesadilla, drink, and Cajun chicken sandwich. Chicken really tasted like it came out a backyard grill. Corn dog had the right amount of crunch and breading. Quesadilla had a lot of cheese for a side! Cheer wine had a nice semi sweet cheery flavor. The burger was similar to 5 guys but a little smaller. The pictures don't do it justice. I'll definitely be back, worth a little drive. The drive thru was busy but it moved at a decent pace. It

    First time at a Cookout. Pretty stoked about the selection of milkshakes.
    Karley B.

    I've wanted to try Cook Out for over a decade after a friend told me about their milkshake selection. I am a milkshake fiend. This location did not disappoint about that. I had a wonderful Peanut butter fudge milkshake. However, everything else was nothing short of madness. The bathroom situation is okay. Only one stall in the room so you can lock the door. That door, though, must weigh 10 pounds. There's no reason for someone to have to throw their entire weight against a door to get it to open. The decor is bizarre. What part of industrial metal tables and silver, red, black walls says, "welcome to my backyard. Have a cheeseburger"? There's a tiny counter for placing orders, and the youngster taking orders was either new or stupid. He just couldn't remember to push the chicken tender button so Jeremy could order some. This happened TWICE because after being disappointed by the size of the patties in his first sandwich, Jeremy went back to get a second burger. And to try for the chicken tenders again. He still had to practically yell, "dude!! Chicken tenders!!" At the kid before he wandered off behind the scenes. When Jeremy asked if he could have two of the bigger patties (like the one that came on my burger), the kid had to call for his manager. They conversed briefly in Spanish before the substitution was allowed. I got the Steak Burger, which came with tomato, lettuce, an entire slab of grilled onion, A1 and mayo. I thought the burger would be moist, considering the two sauces, but I was wrong. Man, that sandwich was dry. The onions were the only thing to give it flavor. I got onion rings and hush puppies as my sides. Both would have benefitted from some salt, as they were fairly tasteless. Crunchy, yes. Delicious, no. Jeremy got some burger with cheese sauce the second time around, and was finally satisfied. The quesadilla side is laughable. I don't understand why that's even on the menu. When's the last time you went to a backyard barbecue and there were quesadillas on the grill? It was a decent amount of food for the price, but none of it was anything I'd crave or want to revisit... except for the shake. I'm sitting here wondering what the banana peanut butter one tastes like... maybe just avoid this location.

    Cook Out is a privately-owned restaurant that started out in NC, but there are locations in TN, SC, GA, VA, WV, and KY. This particular Cook Out has been opened for just a few months, and their menu is just like any other Cook Outs, offering items such as char-grilled burgers/chicken breast/hot dogs, chopped pork BBQ, spicy chicken breast fillet, chicken strips, sides, floats, and a variety of milkshakes. We came here for a later lunch, and we ordered: +a Big Double Burger - with no buns +a Jr. TRAY - opting for a small burger, a side of fries and white cheddar cheese bites, and a Cheerwine The buns on the burger were dried out, and the patties themselves were pretty small; having a double versus a single didn't really make much of a difference. The fries could have been freshly made, as they were cold. The curds were good, but could have been more cheesy and melty inside. Condiments are gratis. Service is pretty friendly, and there's ample seating inside; there's no self-serve for drinks here, so you'll have to go up to the counter to get refills. Plenty of parking in their private lot; they also have a drive-thru. +Cheerwine soda +friendly service +drive-thru available +parking available in lot

    Cheerwine?!? Count me in! While in the military I been to a few cookouts in the south. I had no idea there was one in Virginia until recently. I was already in manassas for something else and was hungry and low and behold cookout was nearby. If you've never been give it a go. It's literally bbq cookout food. Burgers are better than 5 guys to me they have walking tacos and of course my favorite ... cheerwine!

    Peanut butter banana shake (super thick)
    Elizabeth S.

    So I heard so much hype about the cook out that I drove 30 minutes out to try this fast food place. Service is quick, you can sit in or drive thru and we just drove through. I feel like I can't fairly review this place because I didn't get much- just a shake for under $5 and cheddar cheese bites. It came out to about $8 so the real deal here is getting their Cook Out combo where you can sub a drink for a shake for $1, and it would come with a whole entree (burger) side (like cheese curds or quesadilla) and a drink for around $9-10. There are so many options for shakes and I want to try more, but I heard their banana shakes use fresh bananas so I went for the PB banana. It tasted good, just really hard to suck up the straw and nothing spectacular. I heard their cheesecake shake might be better because they use real cheesecake so maybe I can try that next time. A lot of the peanut butter ends up sitting at the bottom so it's not properly mixed in, but they sure do use a boatload of PB. Cheese curds were smaller than I expected, pretty small in size and in quantity. But they taste like cheese curds, no complaint there

    Good stuff. B wanted to try this place out and so here we are. Plenty of parking is available. There is a Drive-Thru as well. Upon entering, we were welcomed by the delicious smell of charcoal flamed burgers. Yum! Plenty of indoor seating is available. Restrooms are clean enough. Took us some time to go through their menu, it is quite extensive. The cashier was incredibly friendly, helpful, and patient. In no time, our box of goodies was ready. The flavors were all there, nothing was overly salty or greasy. B's cheeseburger was well prepared. His onion rings and chicken nuggets were good too. My cheeseburger was quite pink in the middle. Not all that appetizing. The corn dog and fries were on point. We are big fans of their milkshakes. They were creamy and not overly sweet. Would definitely come back, just for that! I'm glad we got a chance to try it out.

    Sad burger

    Food was warm and I asked for hot fries! Corndog was just warm. Hush puppies ok. Okra was the best part of this non food event. The smell of grilled meat seemed promising until the reality of the food arrived. Looked like grilled meat from frozen patties. Service and ambience is generically missing. The dystopian black, gray white gave me time to ponder my choices. They got my coke right. I have no plans of driving over here for this ever again. A lot of hush puppies but they had no vinegar. More puppies than cold fries. I tried but...pass. The counter needs to be organized better for orders and pickups.

    I ordered Cook Out via drive-through recently. I think I went during off-peak hours because there wasn't a line when I arrived. I ordered quarter lb burgers and milkshakes to go and was surprised at how cheap and fast my order was prepared from the time I ordered until I pulled up at the payment window. I wasn't expecting much for fast food, but the food we had was worse than what I expected. The burger looked very sloppy, and the milkshake was too icy. The service was okay - I could barely hear the person taking the order because the speaker system wasn't great, and the person that gave me my order was in a hurry to get rid of me.

    I was expecting the "best deal in town," but for $11 for a tray because I requested the hotdogs be the cookout style hotdogs and with 4 onion rings, and a really sad looking "bacon wrap" which was a tortilla with a strip of iceberg lettuce and bacon I was very much disappointed. I will say their sauces are pretty good. The ice tea was exceptionally sweet as well. I was told that I should have ordered their burgers, so I will be back to give it another try. But for now, the hype is just that - hype.

I went with him to give it a try, unfortunately it did not live up to the hype. Service was good but the hamburger you get really reminded me of the Kirkland frozen hamburger patties that you get at Costco (hmmm... I wonder). The burgers were overcooked, dry and hard and strangely perfectly circular and flat exactly like the ones you find at Costco. The french fries were underwhelming, limp, and soggy. The chili on top of the fries tasted exactly like Hormel chili out of a can. One good thing the place had going for it it was in a very scenic part of Manassas. Not some place I would go out of my way for that's for sure.

Then I noticed a red tray on the counter - with something bright yellow partially sticking out from beneath the tray. I moved the tray and found a yellow bell with a sign to ring it. So I did. Someone came out in a couple of minutes. I ordered a 6 inch Chili/Cheese Dog - and a bottle of water. Except - they are out of bottled water. So I went with just the Chili Dog. I went to pay with Apple Pay and was told we don't accept Apple Pay - you have to use the Sonic App. They must be one of the few business in Northern Virginia that does not accept contactless payments. They make you do it in their own app. So I paid cash. The cashier had to go in the back to make change. While I was waiting - I walked around the near vacant dining area. There was one person in the dining area. While waiting, I noted a large flat panel screen HDTV mounted on the all - but not on - with a dangling cable not plugged in to anything. Everything is dirty and needs a deep cleaning. Looking up to the ceiling - the HVAC vents are disgusting and need to be cleaned. A few minutes later - my order was ready. I decided to eat in as I did not want to spill chili on myself in the car. I shouldn't have worried about that though - when I opened my order - the amount of chili and cheese on the Dog - was the smallest quantity I have ever seen. It looked as if they had taken a butter knife and scraped the smallest amount possible of chili and drizzled the least amount of cheese across the Hot Dog. Disappointed - and I will never return. #Sonic
