    Cheddar Style Chicken Sandwich
    Leah J.

    Cook Out never disappoints. I absolutely love their fast service, reasonable prices and friendly staff! My all time favorite item is the Cheddar Style Chicken Sandwich with added lettuce and tomato paired with the Cajun Fries and Onion Rings. The gooeyness of the melted cheddar cheese is the absolute best!!! The Onion Rings are always crispy and delicious and the Cajun Fries always have just the right amount of seasoning. I frequent Cook Out more than I would like to admit but it is always tastes so great and if you haven't tried the Banana Pudding Milkshake, you are absolutely missing out!!!

    It was vanilla and cappuccino but we ate it all
    Stacy W.

    Went here tonight with my mom and niece for milkshakes. Sometimes I get my favorites when I don't feel like being fun, but normally I switch it up. Tonight I tried the cappuccino and was not a fan. We ordered the cappuccino, two vanillas and a blueberry. I couldn't tell the difference between the vanillas and the cappuccino. They all looked the same. It tasted like vanilla to me too. The only reason I knew it was cappuccino is because there was a "c" on the lid. I also asked my mom, who hates coffee, to try it and tell me. She said it was most definitely cappuccino. Obviously I wouldn't get this flavor again. In case you're wondering, my favorites are watermelon, orange push-up, chocolate strawberry, and chocolate peanut butter. I can't wait for peppermint chip next month! Five stars because it's always great every time I come here. It's not their fault I just happened to dislike my milkshake this one time.

    Cook Out Style Hot Dog
    Hammed A.

    An OK experience at Cook Out in Virginia Beach, VA. I heard good reviews about this place and I wanted to give it a try. My experience was take-out via drive-thru. The customer service was just OK. The menu was elaborate, however, I was skeptical about some of their menu items and whether or not the quality would be any better than frozen, store bought food like their vast array of grilled and frozen chicken. They have traditional "cook out" items like burgers and hot dogs and all-American sides such as fries and onion rings. Some of their sides, like corn dogs and onion rings, seem a bit unconventional. I ordered the Cook Out Style Hot Dog which is topped with chili, mustard, onions, and coleslaw. I wasn't a fan of this hot dog primarily because I the coleslaw was just too much of a flavor contrast and made the hot dog more sloppy than it already needed to be with the chili. I'll give them another try if in the area. Give them a shot.

    Rude cashier "Robert"
    Tammy V.

    Our first experience at Cook Out was disappointing. The cashier displayed a poor attitude and unhelpful customer service, making our inquiries feel unwelcome. Especially with her nasty attitude and ghetto neck rolling. The cleanliness of the restaurant was lacking, particularly near the soda machine. The BBQ sandwich was dry and flavorless, only improved by a touch of Louisiana hot sauce they add to it, while the burger was similarly lacking in moisture. The highlight of the meal was the cheese quesadilla. The fries and onion rings were just that. Unfortunately, we will not be returning. Our ticket says the cashier was "Robert" but it was an older woman who took our order. Maybe her name is Robert.

    Combo tray order with chicken sandwich, 2 sides --chicken nuggets and cheese bites
    Sylvie C.

    I cannot recall the last time I have gotten takeaway food this bad in a long long time. In fact, I don't know if I've ever had something this bad in all of 2+ decades of living in the US. Really. Like ever. We got two $5.99 Combo Trays with strawberry and vanilla shakes. One tray consisted of grilled chicken sandwich and the other with beef quesadillas. Both contained the same sides: chicken nuggets and cheese bites. The portion size was terrible. Each trays got exactly 3 pieces of chicken nuggets and 4-5 pieces of cheese bites. The chicken nuggets were ok. And the cheese bites were either hollow and had no cheese inside or consisted entirely of fried batter and breading. The grilled chicken sandwich was dry and contained excessive amounts mayonnaise. The beef quesadilla was one of the saddest things I've ever had and tasted in the US. The cheese wasn't melted and it had crumbles of hamburger meat. You should watch the videos of it peeling itself off from the tortillas. Ugh. This really ought not be called a beef quesadilla of any sort. In sum, just don't go there and waste your time or money. It truly isn't worth it.

    Double cheese with jalapeños and bacon.
    Seapod A.

    Burgers were good, jalapeños and other vege toppings were fresh and crunchy on our burgers, which was a plus. But good lord, that menu is absurd and not user friendly if you don't frequent the place. And that's all Cook-Outs that I've been through. Streamlining the menu would go a long way vs throwing every option known to man on multiple menus. The picture isn't flattering but the taste was.

    I've been here twice and both times were OK. You can't really beat the price for a burger and shake for under $7. The location is off General Booth. It's a newer build out. Parking is a challenge with a small lot that's dead end. I had to park at their neighbors lot one time. There was some about of debris on the walk up. They do offer a drive up window. I found the dining room was decent size and mix of booths with tables and chairs. Both times there was debris on the floor and tables dirty. The first time I was with a group of kids taking my son in for first time. Service was good, they were really busy. Everyone got burgers and varieties of shakes. They have tons of options to choose from on milkshakes. The kids all enjoyed themselves. My burger and strawberry shake was good. The quality of the shake was meh to me. The second time there was an issue with no one up front for a minute or so. I got a bbq sandwich. It was afternoon on a weekday and not too busy. My table was clean. The dining room looked much better than first time. My order was called and I sat down and unwrapped it. The sandwich did not look like much, but was surprisingly good. It also had a decent about of bbq. The bun was fresh. After two tries a 3.5 rounding down seems like a good place to put them. I will not rush back, but can see me trying again.

    Unshooken shake aka just ice cream although ordered shake
    Ariana K.

    I was really excited to go here since I am from out of state and we don't have these although there are really bad reviews I decided to give it a try the only thing is the lady was kind of rude besides that we still ordered got our food which was great a little dry but it came up really quickly and you can tell they pre cook which isn't bad at all besides the food my husband got a milkshake and like every review says it was not shooken at all his eyes were popping out of his head trying to suck the shake through the straw if you want a milkshake I'd go else where but if you want some good fast food this is the place to go !

    This Cook Out opened a few months ago and is located on General Booth Blvd., just south of the Dam Neck Rd. intersection. The signage outside is easy to see and is in the same overall shopping center as Big Lots and other stores and restaurants. I have not done the drive through here when I come. I have always done my orders and eaten inside the place. Each Cook Out seems to have some type of theme inside each of their stores. This one is no exception and has a theme of military (all branches represented), which is fitting for the location. There is quite a bit of seating in here as well. The restrooms are at the end of the seating area. Through my several visits here, I have had a bunch of different items from the menu. I have always done one of their Cook Out Trays, which includes an entree, two sides, and a drink. I generally switch up between the two hot dogs, the big double burger, and the Cajun chicken sandwich as the entree portion of the tray. The food has always been good (hot and to order) and they tend to be bargain priced for what you get when compared to other fast food locations nearby. On most visits, I have not had any issues. There was one time where the cashier at the front looked like they just didn't want to be there. Otherwise, it has been a very good experience with the staff at this location. If you're looking for a different fast food place than the national chain ones, this place should fit that fancy. Great food, great prices, and an overall good experience says that you should try this place out as well.

    TikTok had me in a chokehold... so I FINALLY tried Jollibee! And honestly? I have thoughts!…read more I've seen SO many Jollibee reviews all over TikTok that I couldn't wait to finally try it for myself. Walking in, the atmosphere was clean, pleasant, and BUSY! So if you're going, be prepared to stand in line for a bit. And listen... they actually handed me a buzzer to let me know when my food was ready! I've never gotten a buzzer at a fast-food restaurant before. The wait wasn't terrible, but it was definitely longer than I expected. I ordered the 6-piece chicken bucket with two sides, fries, mashed potatoes with gravy, a peach mango pie, and two drinks for $21. Not a bad deal at all! We got a mix of mild and spicy chicken. I'm definitely a white-meat chicken girl, so I was a little disappointed when my spicy piece was dark meat. It wasn't really my preference, but I will give Jollibee this: THE CRUNCH ON THAT CHICKEN WAS AMAZING! Now let's talk sides... Fries: Cold. Absolutely not. Mashed potatoes: Very little flavor and tasted like boxed potatoes to me. Gravy: NOW THIS had flavor! Definitely the MVP of the sides and perfect for dipping. Peach Mango Pie: Way too sweet for my taste. I couldn't get into it. Overall, Jollibee definitely deserves a try! The chicken crunch alone is worth experiencing, and next time I'd definitely switch up my sides and go with white rice and gravy. I'll also be skipping the dessert. Would I go back? Yes. Am I rushing back? Absolutely not. MY RATING: 5/10 The chicken has potential, the price was reasonable, and I'd try it again--but there's definitely room for improvement with those sides!

Our meal box came with free FF x Jollibee stickers and they were so adorable! The design on the cups was super cute too. I usually do online pick up orders, which go smoothly. However, the day I went to sit down was super busy. I think it was the Sunday post-church rush. We waited a little over 30 minutes. I wasn't too upset because I see the staff working hard, and I assumed I just came in at the wrong time. Either way, I'll be back! Take advantage of their rewards system! There's always some promo going on. Plenty of free parking spots in the lot and you there are shops you can walk to.

    ### **Absolutely Terrible Customer Service -- Raising Cane's Has Lost a Customer**…read more **Raising Cane's in Virginia Beach has some serious customer-service problems.** During the **grand opening week**, I ordered six chicken fingers. When I got home, I discovered that **two were missing from my order**. I called the restaurant and spoke with a manager named **Bianca**, who told me to come back and said they would replace the order I kept my receipt, wrote down exactly what happened on it, and included Bianca's name. I finally returned to the restaurant today, **September 11, 2026, at approximately 1:00 PM**, expecting them to simply honor what their own manager had promised. Instead, the manager on duty told the employee at the counter to give me **two chicken tenders and NOT replace the meal**. **Are you serious?** This wasn't about getting something for free. **Your restaurant made a mistake. Your manager told me how it would be corrected. I kept the receipt and came back as instructed. Then your manager on duty decided not to honor that commitment.** That's not customer service. That's **cheap, stingy, and disrespectful**. If two chicken tenders are such a big deal that you're willing to argue with a customer and disregard what your own manager promised, then you've got a much bigger problem than an incorrect order. The manager on duty today was **unprofessional and handled the situation terribly**. There was absolutely no effort to make the situation right or leave the customer feeling valued. And let me be clear: **Raising Cane's has lost a customer over this.** I could be starving, drive right past a Raising Cane's, and **still choose somewhere else to eat**. That's how badly this experience has soured my opinion of the company. Mistakes happen. **How you fix those mistakes is what matters.** Raising Cane's had an opportunity to fix a simple problem and keep a customer. Instead, they chose to be cheap over two chicken tenders. **Never again.**

Now, the soy garlic chicken isn't really spicy-spicy, but it does have a little sneaky building heat from the red pepper. It's not going to set your soul on fire, but you may find yourself taking a couple extra sips of water like, "Okayyy, 안녕하세요 heat, I see you." The chicken itself?
