    Grilled chicken sandwich combo
    Ahmad W.

    I went here on 2/18/2025. I got a chicken sandwich combo the grilled chicken sandwich was good. I think that they might need to keep a eye on it when cooking the edge of mine had a little burn on it other than that the food was good. I got fries and onion rings and a cheer wine soda to drink.

    Assessment completed....I wasted my money

    Let's keep this one simple. 2nd time here. Not impressed. This place is Overhyped to the MAX. 1st off. The bun taste like the most basic bread ever. Literally when my tongue hit the bread I jerked my head back....It's that basic.... Once you get past that, the patties are super small and the toppings are cut too thick. Tomato is too thick, onion was maybe 2/8 of an inch thick and pickles cut lengthwise. It's more juice than a BK burger.... This is no lie, but you can grill a burger at home and it would be better than this. Fries aren't so bad and the white cheddar bites were tasty! Staff was friendly! Drive Thru employee smiled, offered me to try all their sauces and service was fast! They do offer Hidden Valley Ranch in small containers which I thought was cool. They also have a tasty Buffalo and Polynesian sauce. The Cookout sauce I can tell taste great with chicken.... Prices are the selling point. For a "Combo" known as a tray bill was around $5 and change. That was including a drink, and 2 patties on a burger. Cheddar bites added about an extra $2 for a total of $7.12.... Not bad at all! I think the entire State of NC just needs to stop with the food game. GA has that on lock. Every food place I've been to with roots in NC is a wash and Cookout is one of them....Sry.

    Homemade Chargrilled Burger selections!!

    After a long drive from IND and arriving! I searched for best burgers and this was highly rated! The regular single Original style was perfectly cooked as it was so juicy, tender...drop the mic! Fast food burger with an inexpensive price. This included not one but two side choice and drink. I had to try the delicious crispy cajun fries! I did not expect the White Cheddar Cheese bites to be filled with so much cheesy and perfectly crispy!!

    Manager who disregarded me and shun me off.

    My first experience there was horrible. I found hair in my food and the manager would not refund me my money nor did he want to talk abt the situation. He hung up on me when I called and when I went up to the location he went to the back. After 10-15min I had to ask for him again and when he finally came bk to the front he totally disregarded me . Telling me he had nothing to do with that situation because it wasnt his shift. That he has other customers that he has to take care of like I wasnt a paying customer. I just wanted to be acknowledged abt the situation and at least receive my money back. The long piece of hair strand was inside of my mouth as if that wasnt detrimental. No accountability at this location. No one practicing good hygiene or wearing the proper head wear to prevent hair from falling into the food. This is a rachette location. Once I posted my video on Tiktok because I was being ignored, one girl from the Cook Out was stalking my page. Its horrible.

    Double burger

    Food was good. Customer service was smooth. The lady didn't charge me extra for condiments. My corn dog tasted like the fair ones. My chicken wrap was crispy and hot. But my burger......... was ......... atrocious. Just look at the picture and tell me what's wrong.

    Double cheeseburger, Cajun fries, onion rings, and cheese curds
    Gretchen S.

    My hubby wanted to finally try this place recently when I was ordering from Magnolia Room across the street. He's definitely more of a burger guy, so this seemed to be a better option for him. We pulled through the drive-thru - no trouble ordering, the line moved quickly, and the worker was patient with us while we decided what to get. It was around dinner time on a Thursday evening. My love decided to get a double cheeseburger with Cajun fries, onion rings, and a shake with chocolate chip cheesecake, Oreo, and coffee added in. I decided to try the cheese curds as an appetizer for my meal. The worker at the window was super nice and friendly. Everything came out promptly and tasted fresh, was cooked thoroughly but not overdone and seemed to be in good order. My guy said the burger was okay. He got it with the works on it, but he said he might explore some of their other options next time - maybe try another burger or meal. He said it was better than the one he had from The Varsity before though. The onion rings and fries were good - standard, but good. The best item was probably the cheese curds - great flavor and cooked to perfection. Our least favorite (but still an okay item) was the shake. It had too many chocolate chunks in it from the chocolate chip cheesecake topping and seriously lacked cheesecake flavor. The added Oreo and coffee could also have stood out more but it didn't. You can't compare it to Sonic's Oreo coffee cheesecake shake or any similar Five Guys shake, as it just won't make the cut, but it was decent. We wouldn't get that combo again we agreed and would probably stick to a plain chocolate shake or try another few add-ins. Overall, it was a fine experience though. Good service and decent food. I like that they have options to order different tray set meals - good for couples and families or if you're just hungry and want variety with a good bang for your buck. We'll be back sometime to try other things from this Southern regional chain.

    Can you guess what this was SUPPOSED to be ? Haha honey mustard chicken wrap smh

Charging stations (plugs) available as well. Walk up counter, place order, wait for your number to be called. Do not be in a rush- made-to-order!! Worth the wait!!! If you are not starving- split a meal with a friend- portions are huge & truly DELICIOUS!!! Ask for sauces, if you want. They have tartare, cocktail & homemade hot sauces. Fresh lemons too. Pepsi products, sweet/unsweetened tea... NO ALCOHOL! Outstanding employees! All so nice! Big menu- ask for one if needed, they have scrolling screens & it is hard to figure out. Menu is best to figure out what you want. Literally EVERYTHING was SO fresh & delicious!!! Mom thought salty, so maybe ask for light/no salt if this is a dietary restriction. They have fresh & fried options. Here are pics of our meals. All left with to-go's. Note, meals are served in to-go containers, not actual plates. The music is fun but WAY WAY WAY too loud. Heads up. I'd truly go back if in town. What an unexpected treat for dad's birthday. He was HAPPY!

The quesadilla was not completely filled to capacity. I wouldn't order it again though. The chips and salsa that came with it were terrible. The chips tasted like those fried chip things you put in your won ton soup at a Chinese restaurant and the salsa was inedible. It tasted like it had gone bad or they just make a gross salsa. The best part was the fried basket with pickles and jalapeños. Those were very good except $10 seemed a bit high for this appetizer. $7 or $8 would make more sense. If we ever go back I would try a hamburger as I hear they are huge. But, then again, the wings weren't jumbo.

    Our experience at this restaurant was overall very enjoyable. The only minor issue we encountered…read morewas that the lady taking our order seemed a little impatient while we were deciding what to order. We only spent about five minutes or less looking through the menu, but it felt as though she wasn't too appreciative of us taking our time. However, this did not significantly impact our experience. There were also a few mix-ups with our names. My name is Vu, but it was pronounced as "V.U.," and my friend's name, Alen, was called "Aden." These were small mistakes and certainly not something that affected our overall impression of the restaurant. On the positive side, the food came out surprisingly fast, which we really appreciated. I ordered the A1 Steakhouse Burger, and it tasted even better than I expected. The fries were perfectly cooked and seasoned with just the right amount of salt. Although the burger was noticeably smaller than what was shown in the promotional picture, the flavor definitely made up for it. I even added a little ketchup, which enhanced the taste even more. Despite the few minor imperfections in service, they do not affect my rating of this restaurant. The food was delicious, the service was quick, and I would still highly recommend giving this amazing burger a try.

    Honestly, I want my money back. My friend sent me a promo for National Burger Day, and I thought it…read morewas BOGO on any burger. That's also what I was told over the phone. The reality? It was only for their "classic" burgers--which I didn't find out until I showed up. The place already had a 90 health score, which made me hesitant. Seeing a visible, overflowing trash can under the sink to the right of the kitchen didn't exactly inspire confidence either. On the positive side, the woman at the counter was friendly. She asked for my name so they could call it when my order was ready. After 15 minutes (for just two burgers, in a not-busy restaurant), I finally had to ask about my food. The cook seemed confused, asked my name again, then looked around before finally finding my order. They never actually called my name, even though that's how the process was explained. The food itself was the biggest disappointment: I paid extra for bacon, but it wasn't added. The burger patty was pink, even though I asked for well done. The lettuce looked ancient, like it had been sitting out overnight. The burger was bland with no flavor whatsoever. The only redeeming quality was the mustard bourbon sauce, which paired decently with the paper-thin slice of pepper jack cheese (on my burger), though my fiancée's burger had the cheese completely forgotten. At the heart of every guy, there are four foods we know at our core--pizza, fries, chicken nuggets, and burgers. And this burger? Easily one of the most basic, uninspired ones I've ever had. The one thing I might go back for is the milkshakes--a few flavors caught my eye. But outside of that, I don't plan to return anytime soon. Even at the promo price, I left disappointed. If I had paid the full $22 (before tax), I would've been even more upset. For now, this is a 2-star experience at best.
