    After hearing a lot about this chain from our friend from Georgia, we had to give this a go on our road trip. This was my first time to a Cook Out and I will certainly be back. The cashier Orlando was super friendly, patient and helpful. He was checking on guests, greeting everyone who came in and even clearing tables. He asked us where we from and said safe travels on our exit. In terms of the food, there was a wide variety on the menu and the sides options were very good from the traditional sides to chicken nuggets, corn dogs, cheese bites, hush puppies and more. We went for a burger with cheese bites and hush puppies and 2 corn dogs with fries. The food was out quickly and tasted great. I'd love to explore the food menu more next time. The milkshake menu was vast and that's a reason enough to go back! So many fun flavours and things to try. I had Choc Chip Cheesecake and my girlfriend had Peanut Butter Fudge, both we're fantastic, very thick shakes which is what we love! Once again thanks to Orlando, fast food workers see a lot of people in a day so thanks for your great energy and conversation!

    My first time at Cook Out ever and the guy working the counter was SO patient! He was awesome! I got the hamburger with everything on it with fries & onion rings. YUM! The burger was sauced and the toppings were falling off! 10/10!! The fries are pretty basic but salted PERFECTLY and the onion rings were good too! Their ranch is also good! Their drink sizes are HUGE! I got a medium and probably won't be able to finish it haha! The only thing that I didn't like was that you had to ask for all of the sauces, even ketchup! The restaurant and bathroom were clean!

    We were driving back from Atlanta and I was getting hungry for lunch. I had never tried Cook Out before, so we decided to stop and hit the most southern store in Valdosta. It has potential, but really fell short. We walked in and ordered from the counter. The girl that helped us was very nice. I went with a triple patty cheddar style add pickles. My girlfriend got a chicken sandwich with onion rings. I decided to have a chocolate malt while she had a peanut butter cup shake. After ordering, we decided to grab a seat. Most of the tables were dirty close to the door, and the tables that were clean had employees sleeping in the booths or playing on their phone. They seemed annoyed that customers wanted to sit and eat their food. Some moved as it got more busy. We found a table that wasn't too dirty and our food came up quickly. The food looked ok, nothing special. My burger bun was half stale and hard as a rock. Half was soft. The patty flavor and overall flavor of the burger was quite tasty. With the addition of cook out sauce, it was perfect. The chicken sandwich was pretty mediocre. The patty was half the size of the bun, mostly bread. Onion rings were adequate. Both shakes were really tasty. Overall, our experience left a bit to be desired. It was our first time trying Cook Out and we will likely try again, but at a different location.

    Stopping at a Cook Out on a road trip is a must for me! This Cook Out had such a friendly stay to take orders and the food came out hot and fresh. Their hush puppies are some of my favorites and are always one of the two sides that I pick when I got a tray. I love that you can get a milkshake as your drink with a meal and I always get a chocolate shake! Until my next road trip Cook Out!

    5 stars for excellent customer service, delicious food, and great prices! I've heard great things about Cook Out, so glad I finally got to try! The staff here are sooooo nice!! We took a look at the menus which can be slightly overwhelming (just because there's lots of options) and decided the trays were best. I got a chicken tender tray with hush puppies and chicken quesadilla as my sides and a mint chocolate chip shake as my drink. Everything was so delicious! The portions are generous and so yum! Service was really quick! My first visit but definitely looking forward to coming again!

    Very busy place! Lots of choices so get prepared before you go with what you want. The food here to me tastes exactly like the name implies; you are at a cookout and someone is slinging food from a grill. I thought everthing we had was really good. We got one of the combo's and got 2 hotdogs, cheese curds, fries and then a burger. We flavor of the franks on the dogs were really good. Dressed one with cheese and bacon, yum! The other with no bean chili and slaw. Another really good dog. Double burger old west style. Really good. A little smaller than expected but perfect for the price. Fries seasoning was pretty tasty. A solid burger spot and a really good price. Just make sure to review the menu before you go especially if you are hungry or you will be standing there for a long time.

    Food is cheap but not very good. You get what you pay for. On the other hand, their shakes are great!

I get my burger to go which I ordered plain. 10 minutes down the road (I'm just passing through on long trip) and I take my first bite and there is a strong mustard flavor. I take off the bun and it's evident they had put ketchup and mustard on it then realized their mistake. Instead of making a fresh one they must have just scraped what they could off of it. Of course I can still see the mustard in the patty and bacon and it essentially ruined the burger for me as I hate mustard. Too far to go back so just a waste of $17 plus $2 tip that I added at register. Zero stars if I could leave it

Hiring Oompa Loompas might be better. 2 burgers, small fry, 2 drinks, cost 35 bucks, almost equivalent to having a steak dinner. Nothing special, it's a burger joint. Restaurant needed to be cleaned, but alas no Oompa Loompas to accomplish that here. Bun was soggy, fries were lukewarm. Yum...not. Plenty of choices around, the owner/franchisee should consider spending time here, especially in the evenings, he might actually make more money if the crew performed their jobs better and quicker.

She stayed on top of everything with a smile and made sure no one was waiting for food, drinks, or anything else. She truly made our experience memorable. The food was just as impressive! I ordered the pork nachos, and they were incredible. My husband loved the ribs and mac & cheese.

The lady at the order window was very nice and I agreed to wait. Drove around to the pay window and the young man there again explained the wait, during his explanation a lady, I guess a manager, wedged him out of the way and harshly told me that I needed to pay her and move my truck to Pump 6 and wait for my food there. During the next 15-20 minutes 30-40 cars got their food and drove off. Since it was breakfast time of day and most of your menu is biscuit related I can not understand how every one of those customers were served while I waited. Not a one of them were asked to wait. When the lady with bright red hair brought my food out, she handed it to me with a scowl and walked off. Food was correct, but cold like it had been sitting for a while and no accessory items for the biscuits and gravy or the breakfast in a cup.

We were greeted with a smile the second we walked in, and our server was friendly and attentive the whole time. A+ for vibes and service. Now, the food... oof. We started with the appetizer special of the night, which, shockingly, was the best thing we had--and it was aggressively mid. Everything that followed? Two thumbs down. The peas I ordered as a side; I swear were marinated in red onion slivers for several decades. Even after picking out all the visible onion, (as shown in pictures) it still tasted like Shrek's bathwater. If I had ordered this on a first date, I would've just gone home to save us both the trauma of onion breath. There's no way a single person has ever eaten this dish and said, "Wow, that was delightful." I'd actually pay money to see the facial expressions of anyone taking a bite. My partner's mashed potatoes? So dry and dense I could've thrown them at a wall and they'd stick. Come back the next morning and they'd be holding up drywall. Not a single drop of moisture in sight. I asked for crushed red pepper for my flatbread (thinking maybe it could be saved). No - No pepper flakes. Apparently none of their flatbreads are allowed joy or spice. Even if they did have red pepper, I don't think it would've saved it. Best thing we had all night? My partner's chicken. And even that was dry. So, that says a lot. Final verdict: come here for a drink and a snack before going somewhere else for the actual meal. It's a great pregame spot, but if you're hungry-hungry, keep walking.
