Cook Out

It is true the milkshakes are pretty good and their burgers are pretty good too. The cheeseburger I got was worth the lil money I paid for it. everything else was ok. My son really liked the chopped BbQ. I did not like it at all. I really liked the hush puppies he did not like them at all. We both agreed that the fries were not our favorite. Too limp and soggy. We like our fries crispy.
As far as the place goes. Nothing fancy and really i think the service line needs some help. When we went in there was a rush and orders were getting mixed up. There should be a definitive separation between order and pickup because as it is now there’s just a constant crowd of people at the counter. People are bumping into each other and hard for the people to get in, out, and around. Looked super crowded in the back work area too. There seems to be a lot of wasted space in the seating area. Could be better utilized.

Fast! Food, that is. Our milkshakes took a little longer because they were swamped when we came in. But their milkshakes are awesome! This is the only Cook-​Out I know of between Raleigh and the beach. Cook-​Out would clean up if located in New Bern (hint-​hint!). I am slightly (only slightly) disappointed because it seems like their chicken pieces in sandwiches have shrunk a little. The lettuce was slightly less than bulky on the sandwich (I like a nice lettuce CRUNCH! — Call me crazy). Please don’t decline! You guys have such a good thing going! French Fries taste great — medium thick and not as greasy as other places — more like potatoes.

I don’t normally review fast food joints but this place is pretty legit and as far as I know its only in North Carolina. They have the cookout tray where you can get one main item (usually a chicken sandwhich or burger but they also have footlong hotdogs that are awesome. note: get it cookout style!) and two side items which range from chicken nuggets to chicken tenders and finally a drink. either soda or water all for around $ 6!
The chicken sandwhiches are usually juicy so no need to worry about that. A true highlight of this place is the shakes… you can get a milkshake with something like 35 flavors or so and mix in as many as you want! I have made some epic shake creations with a plethora of flavors mixing from cookies and crème and cookie dough to reese’s pieces and various fruits.
They are also open late night to fulfill your hunger needs.
Oh and did I mention it’s dirt cheap!

Always so good. Like a good burger off the grill. Burgers here are great, well seasoned and delicious. Add a milkshake and you’re solid.
