i wanted to cry eating at this location. not tears of sorrow, but tears of absolute glee and triumph. Let's talk about the prices here. These prices are what true Americans reminisce about, the tray combo price is insane for the sheer quantity and quality of food. These food prices are a recession indicator, if these go up in Salisbury, Maryland - riots and civil war is nearing. I would give up my arms for this place to stay the same. Is the food necessarily healthy for you to eat frequently? no - but I for one embellish in what life has to offer every now and then and id suggest you too in this mortal realm. I think almost everything on the menu is fried and that's okay. The only thing I would make people aware of is the somewhat relaxed service pace - the staff takes their time but are in no regards rude. Add this on top of a never ending slew of people waiting to get their intake of cook out, and you got a little wait on your hands. Anyways try this place out - it's cracked. read more

I wanted so badly to give this a good review because of their outstanding milkshakes. If it wasn't for the delicious chocolate cherry milkshake I would give this place a zero. My food was cold, dry, and the sides are tiny. Nothing about the food was good at all. The burger patties are tiny despite being called a "double." The cheese curds were cold and hard and fries were soggy and sad. Probably the worst I have ever seen or tasted. The service wasn't great because the person could not hear me despite me repeating myself and raising my voice. When I got to the window to pay no friendliness just pay and go. Soooo disappointing :( read more

When multiple people tell you that everything at Cookout is delicious and fresh, believe them! In Maryland for a work conference, my coworker saw that Cookout is around the corner from where we're staying. I was thrilled because the closest one to me back home is 40 minutes away. It was late when we got from our day trip, but I knew I had to at least have a milkshake before opting for a full meal the next day. I was blown away by the size of the menu (especially the shakes), and how much food you can get at such a reasonable price! I opted for the Peach Cobbler milkshake because it's such a unique flavor. I appreciated the quantity of peaches and cobbler bits in the shake, but it was lacking that sweet, peach flavor I'm used to. The next day I brought another conference attendee with me so we both could try a meal for the first time. I went with a tray, picking a cheeseburger, fries, nuggets, and a strawberry cheesecake milkshake. If I closed my eyes and took a sip of the shake, I could immediately tell you what flavor it was. They nailed it perfectly. The burger and nuggets were some of the freshest I've ever had at a fast food restaurant, and the patty was pretty thick as well. The fries were thick as well and crispy, but could have used some salt or seasoning. read more

I usually enjoy Cook Out, but this visit was a huge disappointment. As soon as we walked in, the floor was visibly dirty, and it didn't look like it had been swept or mopped in a while. After ordering, we went to sit down and noticed that every table was dirty. There were crumbs, spills, and sticky spots everywhere. When our food came out, it was clear it hadn't been freshly made. The bacon was undercooked, and the rest of the food just tasted old and reheated, not fresh off the grill like it should be. It was honestly pretty unappetizing. The only positive note was the staff. They were polite, courteous, and professional even though the rest of the experience really missed the mark. Unfortunately, between the dirty dining area and the low-quality food, this was not a meal I'll be repeating. I hope management steps it up, because this location clearly needs some attention. read more

You cannot beat the price! Tons of options for everyone and you simply can't go wrong with a tray deal - so many combinations possible. Love milkshakes? Worth the drive over, they have more flavors than you can remember and they are tasty! Service has always been quick and polite through the drive through. read more

Cook Out always has great prices for the quality and quantity of food you're getting! Don't expect a gourmet burger, but they do have one of the finest fast food burgers on the market. Salisbury location was pretty busy when we arrived (at peak lunchtime), but they worked through orders pretty quickly. There is a good amount of space inside for eating, and the bathrooms were relatively clean. read more

Cook Out - Fast Food Near Me - Salisbury, Maryland

I was recommended this place by a friend and from just the two times I've gone their food did not disappoint. I would HIGHLY recommend this place if you get the chance. I've tried one of their burgers and one of their grilled chicken sandwiches on each of my visits to their restaurant; both were delicious. read more

The food was very good and at a really good price! I would recommend it to anyone driving though Salisbury

Delicious variety of food- quesadillas, sandwiches, fries, chili, hush puppies, cheese balls/curds! Yum to the ice cream / milkshakes!! Drive thru service is pretty fast, friendly staff too! Easy to find near other restaurants, city of Salisbury, within walking distance to university & other stores / restaurants. Clean inside the restaurant, nice look of the seating- woodsy looking cool rustic look! Great prices! read more

I go here pretty often, but this time the guy at the front counter looked like he didn't want to be there, and it took 30 minutes for chicken tenders, nuggets, and a drink. But the food was good as always. read more

Great Burgers Stopped here because I was in Salisbury for something else and wanted a good burger...in the end I was not disappointed. Had the cheddar burger with fries. Excellent burger and fries, which were hot when I got them, and very tasty. Had a chocolate shake on the side. All great. You order at the front and you pay, much like a Shake Shack. Except you wait for your order to be ready - they give you a number. This Cook Out is right next to Salisbury U so as expected is frequented by college students. Which I think is pretty cool. See my pics for the menus, as of my last visit in November 2023. Recommended for a quick lunch. read more

Excellent. We visit the Salisbury, MD Cook Out whenever in the area and have been known to take a road trip (3 hours from home) to go. It is a quick, order your food at a counter and take a seat until your number is called. However, Marvin will bring to food and drink straight to your table and goes above and beyond. He is the epitome of hospitality and provides exceptional customer service. read more

Tonight I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich with two sides, hushpuppies and coleslaw. When I got home, I realized they gave me about a tablespoon of coleslaw, it didn't even fill up half of the little cup they put it in. I feel they should have said that they didn't have enough and let me choose something else instead of giving me one bite full. read more

Once again paid for items but did not receive them. Local phone number was not in service and the corporate number was not taking calls. They were not busy so there should not have been an issue getting the order right. And you can't even get in touch with anyone to let them know there's an issue. PITIFUL! read more

I very seldom get a chance to go here ( due to always being crowded ), but that's by no means a complaint, the inexpensive prices, late closing hours and directly across from a huge College...this place is on point! So whenever I see a limited line like a football player ' I tackle it ' and you should to! read more

Cook Out - Milk Shake ( Blueberry and Strawberry ) very good! - Fast Food Near Me - Salisbury, Maryland

Got the cookout tray which was an entree, 2 sides, and a drink. It was quite a lot of food for $5.25 because some of the sides you could pick from were another entree in itself if you ask me. I got the double burger, onion rings, and a bacon wrap. The onion rings were basic and the bacon wrap was just ok but the burger was the bomb.com. It tasted like a charred burger off a backyard grill on a summer's day. The cherry on top for me was the Cheerwine soda, which just so happens to be cherry flavored. The meal ended on a high note but then I went and looked a gifted horse in the mouth by using the restroom on the way out. They were filty! The floor had dirty toilet paper and it was wet in some spots. There were also flies in both stalls. read more

On this lovey wendsday after noon me and a friend of mine decided on eating at cook out he order a hot dog tray and I ordered a double burger trey, I got 2 sides onion rings and nuggets and he got x2 onion, THE ISSUE here is how it was made and prepared (poorly I must say) my burger was burnt, hot dogs were also burnt and shriveled and not that enjoyable, I also received only 3 nuggets, what's the with that? Please Cindy and crew remember quality not quantity, I'd loveto come back under different circumstances. read more

Love the shake flavors, more than 10. One size only. Never disappoints. Overall wonderful Too bad not in NYC. read more

The food here is decent bbq-style fast food, and the service at the drive-thru was fast and good. The prices are the real kicker here... for $7 we got a bottle of water, a side of hush puppies (very good, my GF who loves HPs was all about them), and a bbq box (pork BBQ, hush puppies, coleslaw, and fries). It was more than enough food for the two of us, and you really can't beat $7! No complaints about my food...BBQ was good, but I'd probably get it without the Texas Pete's hot sauce next time...personal preference and all. read more

Super nice people. Food is good. Especially good when it's 2 am and you just puked in the parking lot the $50 of Orange Crushes from Cheers.

This was my first ever visit to Cookout. I only learned about it from a youtube channel called the Korean Englishmen. Even though I had looked at the menu online it was very overwhelming in person. Fortunately the very nice and kind people that worked there were able to guide me through this maze. I ordered a cheddar style double, my only complaint was the bacon was not crispy. But that is a chance you take no matter where you order this. I just removed it and enjoyed the burger, I also ordered Cajun Fries. Now these were very tasty. The seasoning was very nice. I also ordered Onion Rings and for real onion rings these were very good. Probably some of the best i have eaten in years. Now the hidden treasure, the Hush Puppies, These were remarkable. And if you ask for their sauce and use it with the onion rings and the hush puppies it is a game changer. The place was very clean, and the staff was very efficient. My order was ready in no time. I would definatly suggest going here and giving them a try. I really enjoyed my experience. read more

Service was pleasant, but the restaurant was trashed inside and they were NOT busy during our visit. The food used to be pretty decent but wasn't that good this time. The shakes used to be what brought us here, but no longer. The shakes have gotten smaller and much lower in quality and taste. read more

Every time i go into cookout trashed, its always a good time. Lots of people who are also completely wrecked and having a good night. They usually get my order right and their prices are cheap, which makes it easy to go there after a dage in new zoo/frat parties. Overall, 5 quesadillas out of 5 for this late night afterparty hotspot The party doesnt end until you get cookout read more

My husband loves this place. Best BBQ, like NC around. Affordable and good food. Fast food joint, but deals not comparable to any other restaurant here. LOVE the milkshakes and loads of flavors. Lots of food on special, so come hungry. I recommend, if hungry!!! read more

I went there before and order to go when I got home I started opening my burger and underneath of it has a dead fly I almost vomited and didn't eat it we tried to called the place and sent us coupon heheheh.but never get a just to returned back for my money back.i don't not I'm goin back to that place. The place was nice and cleaned and never thought about having issues luckily I check my food before I eat it. Hopefully people who work there has a little extra careful when making food instead chitchatting with co workers. read more

It's probably a good thing that I don't live closer to this Cookout. I'd be here several times a week. You really can't knock a spot that has $5 platters with a generous serving of food. We tried a plethora (ok ... 4) platters ranging from burgers, chicken sandwiches, chicken tenders, and pork plus half the sides offered. It did not disappoint. The food was tasty, flavorful, and lived up to the hype I'd built in my head. The staff were quick, accurate, and courteous. It will absolutely be on my route the next time I'm on the eastern shore. read more

I had never heard of this place until I moved to Salisbury. I would go by it everyday until one day I was working. I had a pilot and flight attendant ask me if the place was still open. Now mind you they were from Philly and couldn't wait to go there again. (????) With that I decided to go after work. Goodness gracious the food was like at a backyard bbq. Such a big menu selection and the prices are crazy low. Food is good. BUT!!!!! The milkshakes are are so delicious. They are so thick you can't drink from a straw, but they give you a spoon. Varieties are endless. When you eat them you get the pieces of real fruit. Not a fancy place by no means but you go there for the food, read more

Fast, cheap, easy. Great for late night snacks, hangovers, lunch, dinner, really anything. Food is not the best quality, but you get what you pay for in this situation. Very convenient and tasty read more

We tried this place out based on the good reviews. Top burger bun was hard, bottom was soggy. Fries and onion rings were soggy. Cole slaw had no flavor. Got to smell the rotting trash can as we waited at the walk-up window though! Bonus! The dining room was closed so got to eat in our car in the filthy parking lot. Prices were good if the food would have been. The people who rated this place must have low standards! read more

Grilled chicken sandwich was very tasty and the Cook Out Platter with 2 sides is a great value. However, the Big Double Burger was not very big. The Cole slaw was sweet, just how I like it. And the kids said the fries were pretty good. The food was ready quickly, but sloppily put together. Too much ketchup & mustard on the burger, along with entirely too much onion (no one needs a full slice with all the rings on a burger). Milkshakes are great. ..and over 40 flavor combos is amazing. I think the choices and value will be a huge hit with the college students on campus right across the street. read more

Cook Out - Fast Food Near Me - Salisbury, Maryland

First time visiting & I was shocked at how much goooood soul food you receive for a family of three, $20 went a long way! Convenient to spot, lots of space to park (no outdoor space for eating, probably due to corona) Drive thru was fast despite the long line & I noticed they had a order walk up window, great convenient customer service. I will definitely visit next time in town, wished they were around the DMV read more

I had the chicken nuggets And they tasted good but my companion had the barbecue plate which she did not like because it was too spicy. Restaurants need to warn people when food is spicy because it can cause serious gastrointestinal upset and unnecessary anguish on part of the person consuming the food that is why I gave this a two star rating. read more

Not sure why I'm sitting here eating ice cream when its 35 degrees outside after I've been outside working in the rain all day. What I can say is that their ice cream is on point and the Cookout Tray is a good deal. The big double burger is messy and delicious and the Cajun chicken wrap makes a good partner for it. Food is good, cheap, and service is fast. Would like a few more fries though. I'll forgive it though because this Butterfinger shake is really good. read more
