    All our burgers and sandwiches had barely patties..
    Angelica Y.

    Still "cheap" but quality has gone downhill at this location at least. At the price point you'd be better off going to Wendy's for the meal deals or grabbing a frozen dinner. Stopped by for dinner recently since we realized we haven't been in a while and disappointed is an understatement. They weren't busy. There were no lines in drive thru. We did place a $40 order but nothing complicated. Just a few meals. They didn't take too long but the drive thru ladies were so rude and made it obvious they did not want to be there. No hello, no thank yous, have a good day. Nothing. They literally didn't even acknowledge us except to take payment with a stank face. Handed us our food and close the window.. like sheesh. Vibe killer. Didn't get any better as we got home and realized they got one of the orders wrong and we were actually missing an item. All the burgers and sandwiches had practically half patties.. double fries were about the same as a small McDonald's fry if even. It was just all bad.. LOL Was told it's better during the day but I honestly won't be wasting my money and time going back.

    Raw burger

    I ordered a cook out style hamburger and received one that is quite raw in the middle. I submitted a complaint through the customer service number. Won't go to the Winder GA location again!

    I came and requested a small cheeseburger and a regular cheeseburger tray. This is what i received for the small burger and once i went to the window they tried to convince me it was okay might i add it is also missing the cheese i requested. My regular cheese burger was also the same size as this. At the window the employees did not listen to my concerns and this was overall the worst experience i've had at this cookout.

    Cookout really has the best deal in town! Very inexpensive for the price you pay. Con is that you get only 4 onion rings or 3 chicken nuggets for a side. I wouldn't recommend those as side options but rather just get the full appetizer. I good option as a side item would be fries cheese balls like zaxbys. Quesadillas are good and you have to try the cookout special sauce. So addictive! Another con is the dining room. I see some tables are super wobbly, some tables have 2 chairs, some tables have 3, and some tables have 4, lol I don't get it. But it doesn't really matter just weird lol. Other than that, service is well and food is amazing. Love Cookout! Yay, they got more chairs lol

    We actually had the food truck for a community event this weekend. From the scheduling to the…read moreexecution of the event, everything went very well. The food truck arrived and they set up quickly and efficiently. Yes, you could smell the wonderful grill going and the food did not disappoint. We had the bone-in chicken and pulled pork and it was tender and good! We had mac n chees, baked beans and brunswick stew, as our sides and they were also delish! Edee himself, was out at our event and he was kind, pleasant and efficient. (BTW, thank you for your service ~ Semper Fi!). His crew "D" and Tammy were pleasant and just wonderful to work with. We plan to use them again for another event. Thank you for the great food and great service!!!!

    I knew before taking one bite that I was going to like this place. I hadn't been on Harbins Road in…read morequite some time, so it took me a little by surprise to see the once abandoned building that used to be a 1950's gas station open as a minimart. What surprised me even more was the trailer parked on the side selling BBQ! But the biggest surprise was experienced by my wife who knows how crazy picky I am about BBQ. "Seriously, you're going to turn the car around to try BBQ at a place you haven't yelped?" she asked. YUP!!!! The time was almost 7pm, which would have made this dark if we hadn't just went through a 'Spring Forward' weekend. The owner immediately apologized and informed me he was out of ribs, but allowed me to sample his pulled pork and chopped chicken. After looking over his menu board my eyes were drawn in by the words RIB TIPS. "I can't believe you have rib tips on your menu!" I exclaimed. "We sure do, where are you from?" he asked. "Chicago, where rib tips are a staple item on all true BBQ restaurant menus." Ironically one of his regular customers (who also happened to be from Chicago) walked up during this exchange and joined in with a little spirited banter of her own. We compared notes of our favorite Chicago BBQ restaurants and found we were in complete agreement. So why did I say I knew I was going to like this place even before I tasted the food? Well, before handing me a generous portion of sample meats, he insisted I try them WITHOUT the sauce. How did he know I prefer to taste BBQ that way? That is practically my BBQ pledge of honor: ----- I pledge allegiance, to the taste, of pork spare ribs everywhere! And to the smoky goodness, for which they stand, unsauced, with tenderness, and well-seasoned flavor for all! ----- Satisfied with the flavor, it was only then he revealed to me there were just a few tips remaining from earlier in the day. He removed them from hiding in a thermal container wrapped snuggly in Reynold's aluminum foil. I took them home along with homemade mac n' cheese and baked beans as my sides. I reheated them in the microwave for 2 minutes on 40% power. The rib tips and sides were so much better than I expected. So good in fact that I returned the following day for more of the same. I was also pleased this time he did have ribs available. One bite and his ribs had me feeling like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hevpHGPxRfU FINAL THOUGHTS I took a chance on a small business and scored a delightfully tasty surprise! The chopped chicken and pulled pork here are good, but the ribs and rib tips are my recommendation! The mac n' cheese is old school, kinda like my mom makes but with less seasoning. The baked beans have a cinnamon flavor that I've never experienced before, but really enjoyed. The owner assured me his meats are always ready by noon (Thursday through Sunday) and he remains until he sells out. If you are in the area and crave good BBQ, it would be worth your while to stop. I typically don't write reviews on roadside businesses because they tend to be fly by night establishments. Here one day and gone the next. But here's to hoping that the power of yelp will bring him enough business to stay put! 2016/62

As it being our first time, we were a little confused if we needed to wait for someone to seat us or not. There was no workers around..Then I saw a sign pointing to where we needed to order. (No table service, Smokey Gringo is counter service). We ordered 2 kids meal chicken quesadillas, 4 tacos, 2 empanadas, a side of corn, and 2 additional fountain drinks. My total was about $80. The tacos were ok, they were lacking flavor. When I picked up my carne asada taco there was so much liquid dripping onto my tray, but sadly it tasted a little overcooked. The empanadas were huge but dry, even though there was sauce drizzled all over it. The chips were nice and crispy. ** Street parking is available. There was also a small parking lot across the street. Smokey Gringo offers both outdoor and indoor seating. We choose to sit inside. Their prices are pretty high for the little amount of food you get.
