Came here three times and have to say disappointed doesn’t even begin to describe what I go through from randomly up charging me to upgrading my drinks then charging me extra to straight up just getting my orders wrong this time was just way worse then I could imagine. They got both me and my finances burger wrong I attempted to call 20 times and the phone is just off the ringer I guess they don’t want anyone calling to complain about the terrible service this is horrendous and I will not be coming back after tonight. Hopefully this extra hour of driving will be fixed and they rectify their wrong doing. Btw one burger was supposed to be plain the other only ketchup pickles onion and mustard no lettuce or tomato or mayo Update I attempted to go back for some food tonight and who would have known it they messed up my order again. Shameful at the fact that I keep trying to give this place a try I guess that on me though huh. Anyone ordered a big double burger tray with a chicken wrap Cajun style specifically told them NO MAY NO SOUR CREAM OR WHATEVER IT COMES WITH THEY SAID OK! Then I get my food home and lo and behold WHITE STUFF SPREAD ALL OVER MY CHICKEN! Either they are playing a joke or they just don’t know how to do their jobs here. Shameful.

Edit didn’t check my drinks but they are almost all ice even after I told them light ice this isn’t a large drink this is a large ice with small drink. I also went back they fixed the burgers but didn’t offer to replace the whole order even though the entire meal was ruined due to me having to spending an hour and half dealing with this due...

Interesting experience. Driving thru late on the way back to TX. The order taker seemed very distracted, and the order came out wrong (but in our favor, lol). We ordered 6 shakes and 3 sandwiches (2 chicken and 1 burger). We ended up with 7 shakes and 4 sandwiches (3 chicken and 1 burger). I ordered the Cajun chicken sandwich and asked to add pickles and for the TX Pete on the side. That sandwich came out correctly plus they threw in the sandwich the way it normally comes per the menu by mistake (we were not charged for the extra sandwich or shake and didn’t realize it until we got back to our hotel).

Despite the mixups, the food was good and inexpensive. The portions weren’t very big, but they were sufficient. I would definitely come back! My only “real” complaint was the size of the chunks in all shakes that had stuff in it (the Heath, Butterfinger, and watermelon). It was nearly impossible to use a straw with these shakes b/c the pieces of stuff kept clogging the straw. It was so frustrating my teen gave up on her shake entirely, though I persevered, lol. There was a LOT of Heath at the bottom, and the chunks were very large. I had to use a spoon on the chunks after the ice cream had melted and could pass through the straw. Good, but quite annoying. If I wanted to eat straight candy, I’d have just bought an ordinary Heath bar. Still, I give it a 4.3 overall. Tasty, quick food at a reasonable...

And don't plan on going back I go to McDonald's even tho it's packed and poor little cook out is so empty it's really sad cause the one in Nashville when we stopped in...

We ordered 3 trays with burger, fries, & drink. Changed the drinks to shakes. Ordered 2 extra burgers and one drink. Got to the window, gave us 3 burgers, 1 drink and told us that's all. I said we have milkshakes and fries and 2 more burgers and she said "No, here are your shakes." She said she didn't hear us say we wanted trays or that we wanted the other 2 burgers. I said yes you did because you asked what we wanted on them. They did not want to make it right. Very unprofessional and very uneducated employees. We were overcharged on top of that. $33 for 3 burgers($3.99x3) 3 shakes($3.99+$1.99+$1.99) and 1 drink($2.19)=$24.29 w/tax Last time we do this. My dad always bragged about how good the food is and the decent prices. He was so mad. He drives out of town sometimes just to eat at a Cook Out. He finally took us. I bet he never does Cook Out again.

Every time I come here my order is always wrong. And most times when I point it out, the employee or manager tell me I said my order wrong but the receipt will say exactly what I said and they still wont fix because they don’t want to remake something. Sometimes there are nice employees who fix the order, but most need to get an attitude check. Horrible customer service. I’ve worked in fast food and I’ve never treated anyone the way this place treats me. They usually read the order back but this cashier didn’t and sweet tea was supposed to be no ice and I even said at the window because they forgot the drink at first and they still put ice in it and she refused to remake it. And my fries had no chili! I’ve had bad experience here but this was the worst.
