    My goodness. I've never heard of this place where I used to live, but I'm so glad I did a quick yelp search for fast food. I had a long day of moving stuff from a hotel to a new apartment I moved to. It was late (around 10 pm) and I was hungry! Saw this place close to me and it opened until 3 AM. The reviews drew me to it and it didn't disappoint. I ordered 1 dollar of hush puppies and it included 12! They looked like little sausages but they were delicious hush puppies. I also asked for 2 chili dogs with mustard. I would have like a little more mustard than I was given on the hot dogs but other than that, the hot dogs were filling and delicious. Those were the only items I ordered that night but I'd like to return to taste the fries and a bacon wrapped hotdog. Super cheap prices for fast food that's too good not to try if you haven't done so already.

    The kids wanted a hamburger so we stopped by Cook Out on Sam Ridley for a quick bite. The burgers aren't bad, but they aren't Five Guys or Burger Republic. I think the best thing about this chain is that it offers a pretty good meal for a low price. Much better than McDonalds, Sonic, Checkers, or that level burger joints!!! I would still choose Burger King's Whopper over this place, but the ambience here is definitely much nicer. The benefit of Cook Out over some of the better know burger chains is that they offer some unique combo choices: a burger with Chicken nuggets, a corn dog, quesadilla, pulled pork sand, a wrap, and then you pick sides: fries, onion rings, etc. and finally a drink to go with it. The kiddos like this place because of the food. We like it for the value. But if I was in the mood for a great burger - I'd probably stick with Five Guys. Go check them out and decide for yourself.

    Amazing shakes! I had the peanut butter banana and the banana pieces were so fresh! My burger tasted like it literally just came off the backyard grill. Yum!

    This place is cheap fried food. Also my daughter was served raw bacon! The tea & fries was the only good things.

    Average fast food - terrible atmosphere- staff loud and boisterous - singing rap when I left - not my kind of place.

    Happy about the fact that they close late. Always my go-to when I need something to eat quick. Great food at a convenient time!

    We stopped in here for a late lunch over the weekend. 2.99 kids meals, sign me up in this economy!…read moreIt was our first time to a Freddy's. All of our food was great, and came out exactly as ordered (we had some modifications). It was hot and fresh. Staff members stopped by a couple of times to see if we needed anything which was really a nice touch and unexpected. The negative: it was really kind of dirty in the restaurant. The tables weren't, but the floor was quite a mess. The area around the trash can, too. It felt as though it hadn't been mopped in a month.

    Visited December 12, 2025…read more Ordered carryout to end the night and, unfortunately, it didn't meet expectations. I saw they offered smash burgers and was hoping for something at least on par with Shake Shack or Steak 'n Shake, especially given the $40 price point, but it fell short. My order included a burger, hot dog, kids burger, fries, a shake, a root beer float, and side condiments. When I opened the bag, the condiments were missing, and there were no napkins or straws included. The fries were stale and not even a full portion. The burger was overly salty, to the point that I didn't finish it, and it looked nothing like the photo; additionally there were barely any mushrooms or onions. I may give it another try dining in to see if the experience is better, but with several stronger options nearby, it will likely be a while before I return.

    I'm going to break this review into three parts…read more Part 1 the food If you've ever eaten at Steak 'n Shake then the food is familiar to you. I have to say I read a bunch of negative reviews and I expected the worst so that may have colored my judgement. However the food was good it was as good as any other Steak 'n Shake and better than some. My kids liked their food my wife liked her food it was hot and tasty. Part 2 Experience The restaurant was ok it wasn't the cleanest but it wasn't some trash pit. The staff was friendly the girl who took our order informed me before I ordered that it would be about ten minutes to get our food. It took about 15 minuets. Overall the expectation we had for the restaurant and what we got where wildly different. I've eaten at Steak 'n Shake quiet a bit I know what to expect. This Steak 'n Shake is different it's more like a Steak 'n Shake express (except it isn't fast). Which brings me to Part 3 The Concept I'm not sure if this is a test store or if other Steak 'n Shakes like this exists. First of all you stand in line and make your order at the cashier just like any fast food joint. Second they don't offer a full Steak 'n Shake menu, which for what they are trying to do makes sense, although there is no indication of this until you get inside to order. Third and here is where the rubber meets the road the time it takes to make the food is the same amount of time it takes at a regular Steak 'n Shake, and there in lies the problem. Steak 'n Shake is considered to be a quick service restaurant y'all know the drill you go in wait to be seated the server comes takes your order then brings you your food when it's ready the expectation that it will take a little while to get your food is managed by the fact that you go through all these motions. However at this location all of that is striped away except the time it takes to make the food which in turn makes it seem longer to get your food then it actually does even though it still takes a while. I'm not sure how successful this concept will be I mean with the ability to go to other Steak n shakes near by that operate in the original manner. All that said it isn't as if they aren't trying they have the work divided into groups they have a shake station and a group dedicated to making shakes They have a group dedicated to take orders and a group making the food. Maybe they'll get better as time goes on. The bottom line I'll probably eat here again I mean it's close by and I do like the hamburgers so we will see what the future holds

    We have always supported this location but I have to say it's super disappointing. The dining area…read moreis very, very dirty. We went and had lunch today & the food was decent but the employees don't seem to care about the environment. The floor was so greasy that they had to have a caution sign in place, the stations to order with the touch screens are nasty, the glass entering the location looks like it's never been wiped & employees are just standing around. It's sad to see how much this location is going downhill. With a little elbow grease & some effort, there could be instant improvements. Unfortunately, I don't see it lasting long if nothing changes. Major turnoff for a family to eat at.

    Visited December 9, 2025…read more For as long as Five Guys has been around, I had somehow never tried it - until this year. Today was my third visit to the Smyrna location, and I'm officially a fan. Service & Food: The service has been consistently friendly, and the food has been spot-on every time. For a fast-casual spot, the dining area is as clean as it gets, and the restroom was surprisingly tidy as well. Small Suggestion: My only recommendation would be to keep the pumped ketchup stocked. Other than that, the team here is absolutely killing it. Extras & Convenience: When dining in, they usually bring your food right to your table after you order at the counter- not always but a nice touch. The women's restroom has a changing table (bonus points), and there's plenty of hassle-free parking. Price Point: Expect to spend around $23 for a cheeseburger with all the toppings, a soda, and little fries. Overall, this location delivers a great experience and has officially made me a Five Guys customer whenever seeking a burger.

    I had a very upsetting experience at this Five Guys location on March 20, 2026, around 9:30 PM…read more I waited outside the restroom for over 15 minutes. When the employee finally came out, instead of being respectful, she immediately gave me an aggressive attitude. When I asked if everything was okay since I had been waiting so long, she became verbally aggressive and insulted me, including calling me a "fat ass." I am currently 35 weeks pregnant and was simply trying to use the restroom. Being spoken to this way was extremely humiliating and emotionally distressing. Another individual, who claimed to be her brother, was also present and aggressively yelled at me. I felt intimidated and unsafe, especially being 35 weeks pregnant. My partner had to step in because he was shouting at me. The shift leader on duty, Corey Hedges, did not properly handle the situation and instead implied that I had escalated it. No customer should ever be treated this way, especially not by employees. This was completely unacceptable and very disappointing.
