Reviews
The menu is huge—almost too large to take in at once—but we went with the popular “tray” combo. My husband chose a hamburger, slaw, and Cajun fries. I ordered the two hot dogs “Cook Out style,” which meant mustard, onions, chili, and coleslaw. In my opinion that’s the perfect combination for a hot dog. For my sides, I picked regular fries and a walking taco.
For premium drinks, my husband had a Coke float and I tried the mint chocolate chip shake. The dining room was clean and had plenty of seating, even though they were fairly busy for that time of night. I really liked the picnic-style tables and the hand-washing station—such a simple but thoughtful touch.
Our shakes came out quickly. The mint chocolate chip shake had good consistency, though the ice cream tasted more like ice milk than a richer, higher-fat ice cream. It was good—just not great. My husband enjoyed his Coke float.
The food itself was okay. Not bad, but not memorable—and honestly, I don’t think Cook Out is aiming to be gourmet. At $7.99 for a tray, the portions were generous and the value is undeniable. I wasn’t a fan of the coleslaw; it had more of a vinegar-based dressing rather than a creamy one. Overall, the meal felt a little disappointing, but completely in line with the price point.
We commented that you could feed a family of four on a tight budget for around $10–11 if you ordered strategically (for example, two hot dog trays with walking tacos as sides, a Coke float to share, waters, and maybe an extra fries).
In the end, the staff was excellent, the restaurant was very clean, and the experience matched what Cook Out sets out to be. It’s probably not a place we’d go out of our way to visit again, but we’re glad we tried it.
