This is probably the best, most consistent Cook Out in the area. I have been here several times and the orders have been correctly filled, and nicely put together for take out. Each location is different as to the construction and packaging of ordered items. I usually go with cheeseburger (often with bacon). And I very much like their Fried Chicken Sandwich, and the Hot Dog is decent. And the milk shakes are excellent I like supporting NC businesses like this one. read more

This is the best cook out location in the city! Orders Are perfect every time and the food is always consistent. Quick service and the line moves fast even when wrapped around the building. My go to lately has been a big double burger tray cheddar style with a cajun wrap and cajun fries read more

Cook Out - Menu - Burgers Near Me - Winston Salem, North Carolina

A honey mustard wrap is one of my simple pleasures. Unfortunately I cannot eat the cheese that comes with it. Somehow EVERY TIME I order it with no cheese.. it comes with cheese. When I take it back to the window I am always greeted with attitude as if I'm the one that messed up. This location is the absolute worse for this issue. 10 times out of 10 I'm getting cheese. I don't even know why I bother. It's so frustrating! read more

Cook Out - Burgers Near Me - Winston Salem, North Carolina

Pretty standard late night fare! I was working nights and of course got hungry around 2am when nearly everything else was closed so I came here for the first time. It's a bit dark and sus at night but, there were several other cars around so I felt ok. I ordered the quesadilla tray with onion rings, bacon ranch wrap, and a banana fudge milkshake. For less than $10, you really cant beat the price. Service could have been friendlier, but it was pretty fast- only one car ahead of me. Taste wise, I thought the onion rings were a bit bland and the quesadilla was light on meat but stillpretty good, nothing a little hot sauce couldn't fix. I think I'd come in a pinch again, but it wasn't my favorite. read more

Cook Out has the best fast food burger anywhere. I've tried the Cali and Texas chains and Cook Out wins with that char grill! I love the bacon cheeseburger with bbq sauce. This one on peters creek always has great fast service. It's a drive through only location. read more

Saturday milkshakes at Cook Out are the best. Especially after some very hot and muggy tree cutting and hauling. Kids love it, adults love it, and you'll love it too. I got an Oreo peanut butter milkshake for the first time and it was amazing. The guy working the window was super friendly too. Cook out always comes through! read more

I have been having a ongoing issue at cookout on Peters Creek parkway they recognize my vehicle and every time I come to either mess up my fries or mess up my food order I'm allergic to onions and they put it on my food when I call the manager he is very belligerent and arrogant about it. This has been going on for over a year. I only added a star because I had to read more

I always come here to try their milkshakes and food. Not better than McDonalds but still, very good. I never seen the inside of the building , the outside of the building looks great. Wonderful parking lot too because sometimes I stay there and eat my food while watching the sky at night. The worked are kind and friendly so I would absolutely recommend this cook out! read more

I grew up near this location and this one definitely didn't disappoint. I had a voucher for a free tray after an unfortunate experience in Lexington where my order was wrong despite the cashier verifying it with my sister when she placed it. I'd also had a bad experience getting an order at a different Cook Out location but had no trouble here. My food came out hot, yummy and correct. I also got a Hershey's chocolate milkshake which was definitely cold and everything you'd expect from a milkshake. FYI, Cook Out is renowned for their milkshakes and has tons of varieties. They also have great hush puppies so if you're looking for that stuff, you'll be very pleased. read more

Excellent burgers and the thickest milk shakes I have had to bad only in NC. Get your burger cookout style.

This Cookout is really good but the location can be suspicious, especially at night. I will say my shakes are always good. I also get the fries which are good. Everything here is pretty good. I also liked the quality of service I received from the employees. Everyone was acting super polite and were not being rude to me and my friend at all. read more

I freakinnnnnn love this place, best bang for your bucks.... Only place off the top of my head you can get a BLT for a buck

Why bother eating here??? I ate a few bites of a greasy, overcooked hotdogs, complete with onions when I clearly said no onion. Onion rings I did order were greasy and still raw and cold in the middle. Quesidilla cheese was powdery with tough chicken. My diet coke was good. Teens working were hollering until I couldn't hear the total or ask for ketchup. Never agsin. read more

Service is great! Food is delicious! The best shakes around! When we travel south we always look for a Cookout! read more

During covid, Thursday nights were our CookOut nights. We LOVE CookOut. It's genuinely so cheap, and gives aLOT of food

I love Cookout but I've never experienced some crazy stuff like this. There were several large styrofoam chunks in my milkshake. My cup had no damage to it. It's like someone just crumbled up a cup a mixed it in the milkshake. Insane. Thank god my 5 year old didn't choke on this. I'll give y'all two stars only because that ice cream is still so dang good. read more

First visit at Cook-Out! We were really impressed with their affordability!! We both got "Trays" at $4.79 each. I got a 1/4lb. burger, fries, onion rings and a huge tea. My husband got BBQ chicken, fries, hush puppies (his 1st time having hush puppies) and a huge sweet tea. (Didn't realize BBQ chicken was on a sandwich- thought it would have been just a piece of BBQ chicken.) Many of their menu options are only 99 cents!!! Food was pretty good, fast food char-grilled BBQ. Fries were "ok", onion rings were "ok" hush puppies were pretty good. The only problem lies in that they are ONLY drive-thru at this location. Fries and 'rings don't hold their heat well, so by the time you get home, they are pretty cold. I'm sure if we ate in the parking lot when the food JUST came out, it would have been so much better. It was still good none-the-less. I didn't try one of their "famous" milkshakes but I definitely want to in the future!! So many options!!!! The staff was very friendly and service was pretty quick! 2 drive-thru lines helped move things along! We will definitely be back!!!! read more

Cook Out - Burger tray - Burgers Near Me - Winston Salem, North Carolina

Great customer service! We visited this place after a college tour with about 30 orders for our students. None of our orders were wrong, prompt service, manager and staff ensured we were well taken care of. Food was great as well. read more

Food is good. Customer service is horrible!!!!! Young people need jobs but they need more training.....

Love their BBQ Sandwiches. We often stop just to get one. Wish we had one closer to our home!

You must try the Cajun, grilled chicken sandwich. It's fresh, cooked perfectly...with just the right amount of spice. The onion rings are nice. I've heard great things about the shakes... I will need to try one soon. read more

If I were going to grab some fast food, Cook-Out would definitely be my destination of choice. The food is just a cut above some of the other local fast food restaurants. The lines at the drive-thru can be crazy sometimes and you usually have to wait a bit longer in line than say if you were at the golden arches but, as fast food goes its worth it. I generally come here to get a shake (maybe some onion rings as well). I love shakes and they are just so delicious and inexpensive here. It is nice to see them chopping up real fruit and putting it in your shake not just processed flavoring. My tops are probably the banana pudding and banana chocolate. I guess I am a big banana shake fan in general! The employees are always really friendly and make an effort to apologize if the wait was crazy or they need an extra few minutes to prepare your order. read more

Overview: Cook-Out is a Christian centered, dual-drive through, non-dine-in, burger, fries, and shake joint on Peter's Creek Pkwy that specializes in simple, greasy food for a great price. If you want to leave happy, order some kind of combo tray that comes with pretty much your choice of burger, and two sides, and a beverage for ~$5 (price current as of Jan, 2015). I'd recommend upgrading to a shake for $1 more. The Establishment: There's no dine-in option, and interestingly, you can fax them an order to be prepared beforehand. The Service: Slower than McDonald's or Burger King, but not as slow as In-N-Out. The Food: I've tried pretty much everything on this menu from the burgers, to the corn-dogs, to the grilled chicken, to a couple of shakes (both fruity and creamy) and have found Cook-Out to be very simplistic greasy food that reminds me of the frozen meals I used to buy in college. Everything is greasy, processed, and simply awful for your body. I attached a picture of my chicken sandwich below to give you an idea of what I'm talking about. The burgers are nice, juicy, and soft, the onion rings are deliciously battered and crunchy, and the corndogs taste like they did back in grade school. Most importantly, the shakes are amazing, and actually taste fruity (when you order a fruity-shake) and are decadently creamy when you get ice-cream based shakes. I'm a fan of the candy-shakes such as Oreo or M&M based shakes. In general, the pricing is pretty great, but I need to warn you that the prices online are far outdated. Furthermore, if you neglect to say "Tray" when ordering your combo order, you may be in for bill-shock as ringing up the items separately results in a significant up-charge (approximately double the price.) Conclusion: Cook-Out is a drive-through only, American fast-food joint that delivers simple, greasy food at great prices. I would not call the quality of the food high, but it's hard to beat its value when ordering a combo tray. My 4-star rating assumes that you ordered a "Tray" and don't mind diabetes. If you care about health, my score would drop to 3-stars, and if you ignored the great value, my review would drop to 2 stars for the food alone. read more

Cook Out - Grilled chicken burger. - Burgers Near Me - Winston Salem, North Carolina

My milkshake brings the boys to the yard... Five stars for the watermelon milkshake! OMG. I am still dreaming about it. Even as I licked and sucked the straw clean, I was mourning the top of the milkshake. I would rent a car and drive six hours for this milkshake. I am not joking. My Southern friend told me that this was one of the joys of the South... I would have tried their burgers but we'd just had lunch (as in we drove from lunch to this place). The Cookout looks like a giant lunchbox/diner and has a drive-thru on both sides! They had a bazillion flavors of milkshake, most you'll need a spoon to "drink." Seriously, the watermelon icebergs in my giant creamy snowy dream were sweetened by their company. And as this was the South, this "Fancy Milkshake" was big (72 ounces?) and it only cost $2.99. I'm glad that I don't live near here or the M in BMI would explode all over the yard! read more

Ordered BBQ plate, hot dog. And a cookout style burger. Get home? No burger anywhere in the bag, but its sure on my receipt and card statement. read more

Save your money! I've been to two different Cook Out locations and the food is nothing special at either. Yes, soggy fries, they're not good. Same with hush puppies which I got with the barbecue plate. I'm about to set that aside. The cole slaw is decent... . Places look nice but read more

BEST shakes in the world hands down. I have had a lot of shakes in my lifetime, and I must say that the taste and individual flavours that this cup of beauty has to offer is off the hook. I wish they would have lactose free options, but hey ho! Well worth the consequences. read more

Went to a Cookout once. Once too many times. Dirty. Hamburger patties where barely patties! A lot of people enjoy this place, clearly don't know what a burger should be. read more

GARBAGE. i asked for cajun fries and they put them upside down in the bag next to my tray without any seasoning. then at the window i asked for cookout sauce and honey mustard and she gave me barbecue... then had an attitude when i sat at the window to ask her for honey mustard. read more

Interesting little quickie spot with drive-in windows on both sides of the restaurant. Fast service, good food and friendly staff. Went at supper time and service was fast. Enjoyed the burger, onion rings and strawberry shake. Reasonable prices were a plus. read more

A Haiku. Greasy to the max Late night drunk munchies heaven Will run you five bucks I got a chicken sandwhich, fries, hush puppies, and a milkshake for five dollars... and I couldn't eat all of it. A college student's dream come true. Mass quantities of food for a nice low price. This is like the costco of fast food. Their milkshakes?! Don't even get me started. There is every flavor imaginable, and you can combine flavors too! Ridiculously delicious - it will probably be the source of your freshman 15... read more

Waited in line for 10-15 minutes before getting to the window. Saw four employees working inside at the drive through windows. One worker was wearing a mask but not covering his nose, the other three were wearing their masks around their necks or not at all. Did not eat the food because of the mask issue. read more

This location is drive-thru only. My chocolate chip cheese cake milk shake was delisious. It can get very busy even with two lines.

Excellent food at amazing prices. My BBQ Plate, with a large portion of good pulled pork, lots of hush puppies and fries, and a good cole slaw, was only $5.34 with tax. I don't know how they are doing it, but I highly recommend Cookout! read more

It is pretty inexpensive and you do get a lot of food for your money. Unfortunately, the food is nasty. Cheddar burger? Gross burger with some sort of orange processed cheese sauce that was disgusting. Onion rings? Frozen and honestly the worst I have ever had anywhere. Chicken nuggets as a side item?! Awesome, right? Not if they are inedible! The meal was just a huge greasy load that was just terrible - hell, I would have preferred McDonald's. The milkshakes are pretty great though! I had a caramel cheesecake one that actually tasted like caramel cheesecake. I think the sweetness of the caramel flavor overpowered the cheesecake flavor a bit but it was pretty damn good regardless. It was a very thick shake which is great. The only reason to come here is for the awesome milkshakes or if you really want a lot of cheap, bad food. The two stars are the milkshakes only. 2 read more

Passing through Winston-Salem and I'm staying with a friend for a couple nights. He took me up to Cook Out and I ended up getting a steak style burger with hush puppies and a banana milkshake. First off, the prices are beyond reasonable..but also NC isn't an expensive place. Second, the food was delicious... I mean, for a fast food joint this place was amazingly delicious! Seemed like a freshly cooked burger and the hush puppies were great. One thing I love about NC is how hush puppies are served with bbq (down in FL they are served mainly with seafood). The greatest thing about Cook Out other than price, quality, cleanliness and service is their milkshakes. Over 40 flavors I believe..not that crap that McD's serves..these milkshakes are the real deal.. I actually went to Cook-Out just to get a milkshake before I left town. It's a good thing I don't live here.. because I would become severely overweight from eating here every other day and at least a milkshake per meal.. kidding, of course.. or am I? Either way, get to Cook-Out and get yourself a fresh burger with fries and a delicious milkshake! read more

Cookout is a good safe bet no matter where you find one. Milkshakes are great, and so is the fact you can get a combo for less than $5. Enjoy a burger "steak style" and add a strawberry banana milkshake to go with it. Really, as good as drive through fast food gets. read more

Get what you want in a milkshake... even if you're worried it might not be good, Cook Out will make it good. Over the course of 2 years that I've spent in NC, I've had pineapple, Snickers, Oreos, toffee pieces, caramel, cheesecake - cherry, blueberry, strawberry, cherry pie filling, ... the works ... in my shakes. All were always very good and never regretted. (The pineapple was a bit cold though - sensitive teeth beware). read more

Cook Out is my go-to fast food place and is one of my guilty pleasures and I could easily see why other people would rate Cook Out 3-4 stars but they have the best $5 tray deal ever, I go all the time and get my classic southern BBQ sandwich, corn dog, beef quesadilla, and cheerwine. read more
