My bf introduced me to this place as he's a NN native and since there isn't a cookout back at home, TODAY was the day to try!! With that being said, this was my first time trying Cookout and in my opinion, it was REALLY GOOD!! It's a good go-to place if you want something SUPER QUICK and greatly priced. Since it was my first time here I got the entire menu (not literally but got a few things. Their menu is overwhelming but self explanatory. They have a HUGE selection esp in their milkshakes. Employees had great manners and were personable! We both got: Tray w/ - DBL burger with two sides: slaw & chili -- 10/10 -butterfinger milkshake -- 10/10 - BBQ sammich -- 10/10 -slice of cheesecake (not sure if I liked it or not) -- not sure what to rate it -DBL burger w/ two sides: white cheddar cheese bites & fries 10/10 -banana pudding shake -- 10/10 I rarely give my foods a perfect score so when I do (and it's my opinion) that means it's good read more

TL:DR haven't had a good "chicken" quesadilla from this cookout in like 5 years For 5 years I've been going to this cookout and the Hampton roads cookout. And for 5 years this cookout has either skimped or mess up my chicken quesadillas. I love cookout but I have to drive 20 extra minutes to the Hampton roads one because without fail THEY WILL NOT PUT ENOUGH (if any) CHICKEN, in your chicken quesadilla T_T read more

SERVICE: 10/10 - wonderful and caring FRENCH FRIES: 7.5/10 - nicely salted HOT DOG: 5/10 - kind of hard and chewy BBQ SANDWICH: 9/10 - very good for fast food HUSHPUPPIES: 9.5/10 - also very tasty read more

Came here last Sunday afternoon. Luckily we made it before the church let out crowd so we got to sit outside and enjoy the nice weather while we ate out meals. Service was fast, and the employee was polite. Ordered the jr tray for the kiddo. She had: cheeseburger, burger quesadilla, corn dog, and pumpkin pie milkshake. My goodness she ate ALL THAT FOOD . The cheeseburger was small and the burger quesadilla was tiny and laughable. The pumpkin pie milkshake was absolutely amazing and had real chunks of pie in it. Also, it was more like an ice cream dessert than a milkshake drink. All in all a solid 4/5. I ordered the regular size tray: double cheeseburger, Chicken quesadilla, onion rings, and Oreo milkshake. Again, the quesadilla was tiny and pathetic, I gave it to the dog lol. They only gave me 4 onion rings, the burger was fantastic and so wasn't the milkshake! 4/5 My total came to over $20 for two meals ... But it wasn't bad so I'll probably be back. I will say this, they food tasted fresh and not fake and ultra processed like a typical fast food joint. read more

I order the same thing every single time: -Club style chicken strip sandwich -Large fry -Ranch chicken wrap -Reeses milkshake (regular size) HOW? EVERY? TIME? DO? YOU? GET? IT? WRONG?! I'm not ordering your stupid tray, I'm ordering individual items. Stop trying to change my order from what I SPECIFICALLY asked for! And even if you say "not the tray" THEY STILL CHANGE IT!!! I'm paying for what I want! You don't get to suddenly decide what I want and pay for! The lines are ridiculous, they put this wrap around thing in but don't enforce it so whoever wants just cuts the line. Used to have it partially blocked off, no clue what happened woth that. You can get stuck behind people not understanding how it works, so the exit is blocked and the more people that cut their imaginary line, the longer you're trapped in the parking lot. This is by far the worst experience I've ever had just picking up food at a drive thru. I keep giving them chances to fix issues but it's honestly just gotten worse each time. I'm done. read more

this specific location should be ashamed of themselves. ordered food in the drive thru then went to pay and their computer malfunctioned or something. waited for 10ish mins for them to figure it out and they still had the card so i asked for it back and asked whats going on. Didn't have any cash only my cards and instead of apologizing on their behalf for the inconvenience of the issue and the wait, they expected the food back? So gave it back but.... over $8-9 and an error from yalls computer??? absolutely ridiculous read more

Service was fast at drive through. Food quality was low, thrown together, and order was not correct. I believe I can see why the orders come out so fast. I find other fast food much better. read more

Went last week and I went inside because the drive-through speaker gives me anxiety and the two people working upfront. A young lady and a young man were amazing. I love to give flowers when I can keep up the great work if they read this still no it was me because I told them I was going to give them a great review read more

Good cheap food. I don't go here looking for an extravagant meal. I want some cheap greasy food to fill my stomach... and a milkshake.

I had high hopes. Now I know better. I ordered a chili dog hush puppies and a banana milkshake at the drive through. I pulled up to pay, handing cash to the cashier and he handed me a styrofoam box, saying he was going to be right back with my milkshake. I thought it was odd... did they put my chili dog in this box? I opened it up and there was a hamburger or cheeseburger in foil. I didn't know at the time and some hush puppies. I closed it back up and waited for the cashier to return with my milkshake and when he did, I said this isn't what I ordered. I ordered a hot dog and hush puppies and he told me it's too late. What does that mean? It's too late? It's too late to give me the right Order? It's too late to give me a refund? It's too late to give a crap? I asked him what that meant and he repeated himself and told me to have a nice day. I'll tell you what, it's definitely not too late for me to decide that I'm never going back to that place again. I may also have to place a phone call to the managers not to tell tell me anything different because it's probably too late for them too. read more

Cook Out - Menu - Burgers Near Me - Newport News, Virginia

Whenever I'm out doing errands and want a quick burger and fries it's always been Macdonalds, Wendy's or burger King which are all absolutely horrible. I said there's gotta be a decent burger place that's drive thur so I tried Cook out. Omg it was so bad. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger which wasn't round or square. It had an odd shape like it was sliced off another burger, it didn't even cover the bun. I got this little clump of bacon instead of a strip. Lettuce and tomatoes was cold and made the dry,tasteless burger cold too. Fries tasted like I don't know what. Even the generous supply of heinz ketchup couldn't give them flavor. My doggie wouldn't eat them either. Just when I thought a burger couldn't get worse, IT DID... Lady at the window was pleasant read more

Food was good, and service was quick. But it's almost like they are trying to get rid of you like pay, grab food and leave. Forgot something ? Too bad move. Not very pleased with customer service at this location..... read more

Cook Out is still rocking my world! Their BBQ Plate is our go-to, and of course I always have to get my Cheerwine. The food is delicious; the fries & hushpuppies are always on point, Their coleslaw is perfection. The shakes are amazing - thick and full of flavor. If they're busy you'll probably have to wait in a drive-thru line that wraps around the building twice; But you also have the option to park and walk up to order. *Note: they get busier at night, but when we stop by during the day it's been a less than 5 minute wait. **The only possible down about this Cook Out is the speaker system. The last time we went through the drive-thru the speaker was garbled in both directions, so both the employee and the customer basically heard the Charlie Brown "wahwah wahwah wa". If the owner sees this - PLEASE update your speaker system. Still love how this business is a proud American brand; I always look forward to getting Cook Out. read more

Cookout is the definition of average. It's neither good nor bad. If your intention is to fill your stomach with decently priced food that's a bit better in quality than McDonalds then this would be the best option. All that said the benefit of cookout is that everything is highly customizable, so if you pick your toppings and condiments correctly you could get something really enjoyable to your palette. read more

I love this place..excellent service and they milk shakes are the truth...thicker than a snicker

Horrible! Came from the hospital and didn't expect this type of drive through service. Came early this morning and a woman acted like she couldn't hear anything at the window. Then at the window slammed the door in our face when asking for sauces. I don't recommend this location at all! Went to the door instead to ask if they can just hand some out the door but the guy said he can't help us or do anything for us at all. As he mopped the floor. No solutions or anything. The receipt says we were served by Andrew but it was a woman with a black pony tail at 2am sept 7 2024 that slams doors. Maybe Andrew was the one that turned us away for sauces while he was pretending to mop while on his cellular device. He wore an orange shirt with dirty blond messy hair. read more

Akin to the asterisk attached to Mark McGwire's home run record tainted by steroid use, today's reviews should all make note that our experiences are taking place during the Great Rona Pandemic of 2020. Our experiences are just, well, surreal, aren't they? The drive thru line? Oh. My. Goodness! It required employees directing traffic in the parking lot. As if we were attending a Kiss concert at the local fair. Crazy! The building, definitely designed to turn heads, has an amusement park vibe to it. Almost like you're entering a Keebler Elf's nightclub. Mind you, due to the Rona I didn't see the inside, but I'm sure it's just as snazzy as the exterior. The burgers? Yup! Solid! The fries? Yup, equally solid! Their claim to fame shakes? Let's be honest, it's pretty easy to hit that boastful number of 40 flavors when most are just combinations of flavors mixed together, but I digress, they were pretty good too. Overall? I'm thinking once we start to experience some semblance of normal, I'll be back and will experience all they have to offer, inside and out. If you've never? You should. Cheers. read more

I cannot remember what the servers name was older white woman but she was the most absolute sweetest older woman I've ever encountered I would come back just because of her . Food was good as usual and the restaurant was very clean and unkept read more

Delicious food at a good price and large servings. The menu selection is good - especially the shakes! I always get the pulled chicken meal and it is always consistently delicious. The food tastes fresh too. I haven't eaten inside the restaurant yet, only drive-through, but they seem to have a good system and they get the cars through quickly. I keep going back so they're doing something right! read more

We love Cookout milkshakes and treat ourselves to them several times, usually at this location, whenever we are visiting the area(we don't have Cookouts at home). And usually we get exactly what we order, even with 5-6 shakes in an order. But this week both times we visited one of the 2 shakes ordered has been wrong. Once time we ordered a cherry chocolate chip and got a cherry chocolate, and tonight I ordered a cherry chocolate(since that's what they gave me last time anyway) and they game me a straight chocolate. Of course you can't tell til you open and taste it, and with dozens of people in line..... I know your staff make the same measly salary whether they get the orders right or not, but please find a way to encourage them to try. Or maybe i should just order a "surprise me". read more

As far as fast, cheap food go, this place deserves 5 stars. Long story short, you spend about the same on a tray with an entree, two sides, and a drink as you would on a combo at McDonald's, but you get way more food and it's made to order. Five stars for: + freshly cooked burger fries, chicken tenders + Super thick, overflowing milkshakes + affordable prices (we shared two trays & milkshakes between two adults and a five year old and still had extra fries and a chicken strip to bring to the beach) all for ~$15 The biggest reason is the staff here. We arrived during what looked like a huge rush with about a dozen people waiting near the front for food. But within five minutes, everyone had their food and the next round of people had placed their orders. Basically the line keeps moving even tho it looks like it was packed. The friendly blonde lady taking order has some major skills, taking orders and explaining options, taking questions from people who needed more condiments, AND prepping food for customers. Anyways she was so efficient, and even took time to check in with all the customer seated inside. I was impressed! Already planning to stop back in on our way out of the city! read more

The girl taking orders at 230 pm on 4/17/2024 was extremely rude and impatient. And she had plenty of nasty looks to give once I got to the window. The older gentleman working that gave me my food was very nice. The speaker to order in the drive thru could stand to be replaced it wasn't working well read more

Food overall was nothing special, but their milkshakes are A1! The burgers and quesadillas were good, not great. The BBQ plate was a little too porky? The meat was tender but it definitely needed more sauce to mask the smell of the meat. The coleslaw that comes with the plate was so good though. I like my coleslaw on the sweeter side, so it def hit the spot. I would def buy a bigger portion of that. Fries, onion rings and corn dog were also good but pretty soggy. Some people like soggy fries, but thought a crispier fry would be better. The hushpuppies were bomb though! Super yummy. THE MILKSHAKES THOUGH. Literally the best thing I've had. My bf and I got the strawberry cheesecake and blueberry cheesecake milkshakes. They were thick, sweet and decadent. Everything a milkshake should be. The size was also awesome. P.S. If you're not from the area (as I am not), the two lane drive-thru system is interesting! You initially enter and snake around the building to get to the order window. There's an employee outside to help guide you around the next loop. Interesting concept. read more

Wow....not sure what happened, but their food has gone downhill. We used to love Cookout! The double burger looks like they took one burger and cut it in half to make two. Five of us ordered trays, and everyone was shocked at the difference in the food. Won't go back. read more

Cook Out is my go-to guilty pleasure meal. This location ALWAYS makes my tummy smile, and the environment here is inviting. It's a great place to meet some friends, get a cheap bite to eat, and even get a milkshake for dessert! This Cook Out is one of the only ones around with an eat-in seating area. It has outdoor seating as well, with umbrellas. There's at least 20-30 tables on the inside ranging from 2-seaters to 8-seaters. Fast and great service as well! Cheerwine and the Reese's Cup Shake for the win! read more

Cook Out - Burgers Near Me - Newport News, Virginia

The old guy thats always working here (idk if he's like an owner or manager or what) has horrible customer service skills. I asked for two cookout sauces for my order, and they forgot to give it to me, so I parked and went in to get my sauce and he made me pay 2 dollars for the sauce that I asked for in my order that is FREE that they forgot. He has given me troubles every time that I have come to this location. The other workers are kind, my food is fine, but it is not worth it to eat here when they have an old guy in the back that hates all of his customers. read more

We were on vacation in the area. I had to do an errand and I stopped by this place out of desperation to use their bathroom. But I stayed for a burger. What a lucky stop it was. I vote this restaurant as having the BEST CHEESEBURGER EVER -the best burgers that I have had in years. Their burgers are simple, old fashioned and loaded with flavor and they blow Five Guys or In n Out off the pedestal that we had placed them on. Cook Out burgers taste like old fashioned charcoal grilled burgers, not burgers done on a gas grill or flat iron. They are generous with toppings and sides which are also delivered perfectly cooked, the right temperature and an explosion of flavor. I was so excited about my accidentally discovery of Cook Out, that I dragged my wife to join me for lunch the next day. She agreed. We ordered take out for our daughter, a life long picky eater, and she endorsed the Cook Out burgers as best in class. But it didn't stop with awesome burgers and sides. The service was with a smile and the delivery was super fast. But the price was under $10 for a deluxe tray of awesomeness. I"m not sure how they do it. We will be back to Cook Out on our next vacation to the area. We only wish that there were Cook Out's in Michigan because McDonalds and Five Guys would lose us to Cook Out from there forward. Parking is like any fast food joint. They have a drive through. It lines up but moves fast. read more

I ordered a small cheeseburger and double cheese bites and a tea. The cheeseburger was SO sad the cheeseburger was cold and the cheese was barely melted. The service is never great here they barley get a darn thing right. Cheeseburger was a cheeseburger you would get from dollar tree.. on the other hand the cheese bites were great. read more

The food is always delicious but the communication from the drive through cashier is kinda the issue I repeated my order 3 times just for clarity some how the whole order is completely wrong I asked for a peach cobbler shake yet I have a whole chunk of banana then my burger (ordered as ketchup, mayo, bacon, and cheese) it comes back as mustard lettuce cheese ketchup and mayo, then as I pull to the window it's a young light skin gentleman he tells me the total takes it then proceeded to hop on his phone not paying attention to anything around him at all. He hands me the change a minute later with no receipt nor straws/napkins. I love cook out, yet I might just have to stay away from this one. read more

Cook Out - Banana chunk - Burgers Near Me - Newport News, Virginia

Cookout is a savior for me as I have been working the night shift and I finish work at 12am midnight. Most places in this area are closed by the time I leave work so I am super happy cook out is open till 3am. They are super cheap (under $10). The shakes are super tasty and well made. The burgers are also very tasty and delicious. I always get the Big Double cheddar style tray with onion rings and white cheddar bites. It is only $8 for the big double tray with a milk shake. If you get a regular drink it is only $7. I have come here more then I should be coming here and they have never let me down. Sometimes it gets busy late night so be patient as the food is worth the wait. read more
