This place has everything you'd expect at an American cookout and then some: burgers with all the fixings, hot dogs, chili cheese fries, hushpuppies, BBQ sandwiches, walking tacos, cheese curds, quesadillas -- the list is wild in the best way. You can customize nearly everything, and while that kind of complexity could easily bog things down, I've found this location to be impressively efficient. The staff keeps the drive-thru moving, fast and to the point. That said, if you're new or just indecisive, I highly recommend going inside. The menu is huge, and if you're not ready when it's your turn, you might feel a little rushed. My husband and I text our orders to each other and read off our phones to keep things moving. Cook Out was once the king of budget eats -- I remember when a tray (entrée + 2 sides + a drink) was around $5. Those days are behind us. These days it's more like $7-$8, which still isn't bad, but the creep is noticeable. One of my latest discoveries that might change your life: they sell slices of cheesecake. Yes -- actual cheesecake for around $3. You can add any of their milkshake toppings to it. Crushed Oreos on your cheesecake? Done. Strawberry syrup and peanut butter cups? Go for it. It's dangerously indulgent. In short: Cook Out is chaotic in concept, but smooth in execution -- especially at this location. It's not fine dining, but if you're craving cookout classics with infinite combos and quick service, it hits the spot (esp late night cravings!!!!) read more

Cook Out - Small burger tray with a lettuce bun, onion rings, and chicken nuggets (3) - Burgers Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

We stopped by for a quick dinner. Most of the time the drive thru is going to be extra busy. So expect a wait. There are several menu items like burgers, hotdogs, chicken tenders, milkshakes, and more. Their milkshakes are definitely worth trying!! I highly recommend it. I got the burger platter (cheddar style), with double Cajun fries, and a blueberry cheesecake shake. If you don't choose a style for your burger the toppings are charged separately, which can add up quickly!! The burger was good with that melted gooey cheese on it. I wish it was a little more seasoned. But it was still good though. The fries are really good if you add Cajun seasoning to them. They were hot and crispy. I love dipping them into their delicious BBQ sauce. The milkshake was awesome!! Lawd have mercy, I didn't expect that. I could eat them everyday If diabetes didn't exist. Smh. The prices are decent and the food is good. I enjoyed my meal and will return. Check them out! read more

Good fast food type. I would recommend at least once for the try. Service was good, I just did carry out. The family had some burgers, chicken strips, chicken nuggets, cheese curds, fries, and onion rings. Not a must eat at place but it was a cool place. read more

It was absolutely terribly the guy at the window had an attitude the entire time and was very pushy and unhelpful. I had a question I asked it and he said so what's your question? Umm like hello, I sat there trying to be nice and he did nothing but mumble rude shit under his breath and tried to blame the other person in the car for ordering wrong even though they went over the order multiple times! ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS NEVER COMING HERE AGAIN!!! And the food was cold. read more

I wish I could give zero, but I was with my brothers after seeing the BTR concert and went to get food for 2 of us and they forgot all the sides to the trays we ordered and questioned on if we were lying about not getting food. They said a side of nuggets are 3 nuggets but a double side is only 5...The math isn't mathing to me personally. We didn't receive a spoon for our milkshake or any napkins after asking for them instead they shut the window in our face. read more

Cook Out - my husband is severely allergic to tomato and request NONE be on his sandwich which is stated on the receipt - Burgers Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

These people are more worried about social hour and not serving their customers in a timely manner! We ordered 3 shakes that took over 20 mins to make and they were NOT staked with orders... people who came in after us getting food came and went.. The lady in front of us waited 30 mins FOR ONE SHAKE!! Is there not an adult that can keep these people on track? Oh wait, they were acting a fool too and trying to talk smack. The amount of cussing, grabbing one another etc was totally unacceptable. Do better... They also gave us the wrong shakes, but I'm not trying to wait 30 more mins for them to fix it.. At least the guy taking out the trash and making sure the restaurant looked presentable was on top of his job. read more

We went through the drive thru to get a quick bite, but it was very slow. When it was our turn to give our order, the order taker was extremely nice & patient. We placed our order, got to the window, paid, and waited...and waited...and waited. We finally got our food and pulled off to a parking spot to eat. When we opened our boxes, the only thing fresh (and burnt) were the hushpuppies. The nuggets were cold & the chicken strips were cold/over cooked. They were so dry that even bbq sauce couldn't bring them to life or get them down my throat. So, they were trashed. For what we paid, our food should have been edible at least. Cookout isn't my favorite fast food restaurant. I went there because it was close to the interstate. That was our first and last time there. read more

This location is usually very busy. The line is always reaching out to Indian River. But the service is quick and the staff generally gets the order accurate. Plus they have really good pulled pork sandwiches read more

Good timing, hot fresh excellent service best cookout in the area !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I normally come to this cookout and am satisfied with the food. Not impressed, but "OK" with my results. Even late night. But tonight???? NoooooooooJust got home on a Friday night. WTF is this? I got a Cookout tray with a burger and onion rings and cheese bites. This is ridicules! It's so small. Not like the normal portions. What is happening? I'm not happy at all. read more

Cook Out - Reg Hamburg. large sprite cheese bites and corn dog w/ ketchup mustard - Burgers Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

So y'all the food is just delicious and the drinks/milkshakes are AMAZING. But anyhoo, I went to Cook Out near the middle of October and they had the Pumpkin Pie milkshake. The milkshake was absolutely delicious but when I came back near Halloween they had gotten rid of it. BEFORE HALLOWEEN. BEFORE. HALLOWEEN. And obviously it wasn't even November so my question is, what is your problem? Seriously like when and where? read more

I've been hearing good things about this burger chain and had the opportunity to check them out with my son recently on a weekday around noon. The location off Indian River/I-64 and across from Regent University is good from a business standpoint due to a lot of traffic. The parking lot is tiny and not easy to maneuver however. This appears to be why their surface sign has been backed into. There was minimal debris in the parking lot, walk in front clean. This is the first Cookout I've ever been to, so when approaching the menu board I had to take a few minutes to study the concept and variety of items and sides including a whopping 40+ shakes. The prices were startling reasonable. I asked the woman what they did best. She said burgers most popular. She said they are not frozen. I ordered a cheeseburger with side of onion rings and corn dog. My son a cheeseburger with double side of fries. I got a fountain drink, my son a shake which are also reasonably priced. The cashier was friendly enough and helpful. The small dining room was packed. Floors and a few empty booths clean. Our order was called out around 10 minutes, not bad but is this "fast food". The food comes in styrofoam no matter what. I do not like this and wish they had an eat-in option with no styrofoam. The food was all hot. The burgers above average, fries tasty and per my son shake yum. I did not care for the onion rings, but corn dog was good. A trip to the men's restroom prior to departing. There was some minor debris on the floor. Overall, clean with proper supplies and everything worked. You have option of paper towels, or hand dryer. I can see myself coming back to this location, or trying another. 3.5 seems perfect for this visit. Rounding down to a 3. read more

Let me start off by saying they have some good ice cream and a abundance of flavors to chose from, that's why the two stars are given here. I ordered the cookout tray which consists of a sandwich of your choice and two sides,I selected the big double burger with cheese and grilled onions and a sides of chicken quesadilla and fries. The fries were fries, the chicken quesadilla was just a cheese quesadilla with little to no chicken in it,the burger was overcooked, the grilled onions were as well and the bun was super soggy,I don't know if it is just this location but it's the worst experience I had at cookout so far!.. read more

Thank goodness for late night drive thru. A nice burger and decent sides. 40 Shakes! Can't beat the prices. Only wish actual open and close times were posted in plain view. read more

dry food, no one speaks english. waited an hour. never will be back. wouldn't recommend to anyone looking for food near Virginia beach.

Absolutely ridiculous, had someone that didn't understand english at the register and messed up our order 3 different times. Would not recommend coming here. read more

Hands down the best cookout I know. Work staff is the the best here. Their pace to pump through orders when their busy is very smooth. Orders haven't gotten messed up. Best fast food place I know around here! Normally got the chorizo quesadilla but they took it off the menu cause I guess no one else liked it but I tried the new walking taco and it was better than expect with jalapeños chopped up fine. read more

The Cookout was a pleasant surprise. It's a fast food barbeque place. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The menu is a bit complicated or should I say eclectic. The cashier was very patient in explaining how to read the menus and recommendations for what to order. The prices are so inexpensive, I thought I was being punked. I got a burger, fries, chicken nuggets and a large sweet tea for $6. What?! But it's legit. For the burger, I added cheese, grilled onions, mustard, and chili. Dy.nam.mic. A+. Although they didn't ask me how I wanted my burger cooked, they did it right. The flavors, juicyness, and consistency was perfect. The fries are more like Wendy's fries. Pretty good. The sweet tea gets it's own paragraph. I took a small sip and required insulin right away. LOL. That thang is so sweet my teeth rattled. It still was good, I just knew I couldn't drink a 48oz. I filled the large cup with maybe 12oz of tea and the remaining 36oz was water. It was still hella sweet but more tolerable. Even with all that I liked the tea. If you are near a Cookout. Do yourself a favor and stop by. read more

When you don't want Taco Bell another late night option is Cook Out. I honestly prefer the Military Cook Out, the food is always fresh and the employees aren't as rude as this locations. I've been to this drive-thru several times and the workers there are kinda short with you, hand you your drink, swipe your card, and send you on your way. Last night, I ordered a chicken quesadilla (which is bomb by the way), onion rings and french fries. The fries were NOT GOOD, ate two and threw it away. I only come to this cookout for convience but I might just consider sticking with my military highway favorite. read more

This location is kinda hidden on the main road. So drive slow in case you miss the turn. But they have this small location. There was no line luckily. Got two milkshakes. Peach cobbler was great choice on a hot day and red push up reminded me of a little kid from the . Burger was great love me a good burger with taste. Customer was quick. read more

Knowing what a popular chain Cook Out is in the south, and having a friend that raves about it, we made it a point to stop by before leaving Virginia Beach. The menu has a wide range of stuff including burgers, hot dogs, quesadillas, wraps, etc. Ordered two Cook Out Tray combos as it looked like good value and got to try a few things. Ummm...it wasn't great. The food was meh. Best part of the meal were the hush puppies and milkshakes. They make almost any flavor milkshake and it's the only thing worth going back for. read more

This place is a hit or miss, literally 50% being good & a 50% change being bad..(that percentage is on staff, too.) Hallelujah for the updated speakers - use to be so bad that I'd say one thing, they'd repeat the order back with things I never asked for, which is beyond me because whatever I ordered did not sound anything like what they put down. So that's a plus you can actually hear the person and not sound muffled. Cheer wine float and hush puppies are always on point. read more

Bad service...no adults in the whole place to manage...small portions. Other than that, the milkshakes are really good, so it's not a total loss. I've been to other Cook Out locations and know that it's possible to have a good experience. This location just needs some actual management and customer care. read more

I was severely disappointed in the taste of the food. It's super cheap, but that's about the only good thing about it. Portion size is minuscule, I might be so used to everything be supersized. The promptness of taking the order and execution of the delivery of food was FAST! So okay that's the other good thing, wait their banana pudding shakes are the only other redeeming quality! Their shakes are great! read more

Although Cookout is known to be a drive thru joint, this Cookout provides ample seating. It's good news for people like me who get anxious driving through very tight / high traffic areas - a big reason why I tend to avoid the fast food joints on Indian River Road. When I came here, I parked at the shopping center near by which is super close because I found the immediate parking around Cookout is quite tight (don't judge me.) Anyways, I ordered a regular burger w/ everything in it except onions. I also ordered a side of fries and a bottled water. Just like the name, the burger tasted like a burger I'd eat at a cookout. You know, the type of Cook out where you can tell your uncle doesn't usually make burgers bc the burger is a bit dry and a bit too well done. Unfortunately, it's a little too dry for your condiments to save but you eat it anyways bc you're already here & hungry. The fries are a bit too thick for my liking as well but I think I would just order them with Cajun seasoning or cheese next time. Despite my experience, I am willing to give this place another go because I want to try the shakes. This place isn't that bad but it's that not good either (foodwise). However, The service is good & if you like Christian music .. you'll appreciate this place. read more

Cook Out - Regular burger w/ everything except onions, side of fries, + bottled water - Burgers Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

I've been to several Cook Out locations before. This was the first time I have visited this location. Currently, this is the closest one to me until the new one opens up in the General Booth and Dam Neck area. I've been to the one in Williamsburg several times before or after visiting Busch Gardens. When I came in, the place was pretty busy. One of the things that caught my attention right at the beginning of the visit was just how slow the service is at the counter. There were only two parties in front of us waiting to order, but it took about 10-15 minutes for us to even be able to place an order. Once it was our turn to order, the person at the counter just looked disinterested. I had the feeling of why are they here from her (she was laying her arms and head on the counter). The ordering itself didn't take that long to do. About 10 minutes after ordering, the food was finally available. Overall, the food was good, just like the other Cook Out's I have been to in the past. On this visit, I had ordered the Big Double burger with fries and a chicken quesadilla as my sides, with an additional hot dog. Overall, the food was good, but service was definitely not there. That has turned me off from coming back to this location again. Hopefully the one that will be coming soon in the Dam Neck area will be better. read more

Austin on night shift is the bomb thank you so much ! The food was great and customer service was top tier

This location sucks. Why would I order onion rings as a side and get 1 onion ring. Why would I order cheese bites and only get 5. The kids meal in our order had more. Waste of my time having to go back to get a refund. Won't be returning. read more

I have yet to get why this chain is so popular. I've been to several in different states and have tried different items but I just don't get the cult like following. Maybe I'm not eating the best items on the menu or I just expect more? My honey mustard chicken wrap had 1 piece of chicken with more breading than meat, a smidge of cheese and a baby palm sized piece of lettuce. The HM was MIA as was the seasoning on my fries. I hear the shakes are what draws folks in but those aren't in my diet lol. read more

Cook Out - Burgers Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Food is always good! BBQ sandwhich, onion ring and hush puppies! And the banana pudding shake!!! And the prices you can't beat. These are the reasons I always come back. But don't expect decent portion sizes for sides. Today I got 4 onion rings... four tiny onion rings. 4!!! But the service is just horrible. Long lines, trash and ice all over the floor. There is no place to form a line inside. The 1 cashier are just unhappy. Probably Bc she's by herself with a long line at lunch rush, bless her heart. But bad service is pretty much par the coarse here in this area of Va. I really hate their intercom system. I never can understand what there saying lol. ( the intercoms is the same at every location. That's why I go in. read more

Normally really good restaurant! I normally really love this place but today I asked for cookout sauce and the person at the window looked annoyed, handed me Texas hot sauce and closed the window on me before I could even get the right sauce. I really just wanted my cookout sauce. read more

Went on a Sunday afternoon, there was a line but it moved very fast. I'd say an average of 1 minute per car going through the line. They got my order correct and they gave me extra sauce without me asking! It came out immediately after I paid. The guy at the window was also very nice and making eye contact. Overall would come back to this location! Also the food is Great as always! read more

I am impressed, Cook Out was superb. Menu, location, staff and ambiance are all the reasons why I love this place. The menu is really awesome, so many good choices, I had to go with Big Double Burger, and it was wonderful. Everybody was very welcoming. My compliments to Cook Out it's a 10 star. read more

Finding this Local GEM! it's a drive through or the options to go inside to experience the food, either way it's food that is fresh to order also it's not microwaved! Big Double Burger is what I ordered through the drive through you have a selection of toppings you choose so I picked lettuce tomato mayonnaise. You can also pick what sides you want with it as well I chose their French fries. My drink I ordered a strawberry milkshake which was good , I don't post any pictures because I ate it to fast because it was that good. I give this rating a 5 star rating! It's also not as greasy as other places I've tried.. read more
