Cook Out — Restaurant in Greenville

Cook Out: My Wallet's Best Friend and My Stomach's Questionable Lover Alright, people, let's get down to brass tacks: Cook Out. It's not fancy. It's not pretentious. It's the kind of place you go when your stomach is rumbling louder than a freight train and your wallet is whispering sweet, empty nothings. And honestly, I love it. Cook Out is basically the Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory of fast food, but instead of chocolate rivers, you get a bewildering array of options on their "Cook Out Tray." Seriously, this tray is a monument to indecision. You pick a main (burger, chicken, hot dog, BBQ – the possibilities are endless and slightly overwhelming), then you pick two sides. Two! And these aren't your run-of-the-mill fries and a tiny coleslaw. We're talking hushpuppies, quesadillas, chicken nuggets, even a corn dog as a side. It's like they heard my inner monologue saying, "Why choose when you can have it all?!" and then promptly delivered. My go-to is usually a cheeseburger (because sometimes, you just need that classic comfort), with Cajun fries (because apparently, I like my fries with a little attitude) and a chicken quesadilla (because, well, why not?). The burgers are cooked on a real grill, which gives them that smoky flavor you don't usually get at a drive-thru. They're not gourmet, but they're honest, hearty, and hit the spot. But let's be real, the real star of the Cook Out show is the milkshake. Good heavens, the milkshakes. Their menu is longer than a CVS receipt, featuring flavors from classic vanilla to more adventurous concoctions like "peach cobbler" and "banana pudding." I once tried to count all the flavors and nearly suffered a brain hemorrhage. My personal favorite is the Oreo milkshake, so thick you could probably stand a spoon in it, and so delicious it makes me forget any dietary aspirations I might have had that morning. The atmosphere? Well, it's a drive-thru. Or a walk-up window. So, the "ambiance" is mostly the hum of idling cars and the cheerful yells of the order-takers. But that's part of the charm! It's efficient, it's no-frills, and it's built for getting good, cheap food fast. Now, if you're looking for a Michelin-star dining experience, this ain't it. Sometimes the fries are a little too crispy, sometimes the burger is a little too well-done. But for the sheer volume of food you get for your buck, and the endless possibilities of custom combos, Cook Out is a champion. It's the ultimate late-night, post-anything, "I just need some comfort food" destination. Just prepare for a delightful food coma and the lingering question of how you managed to eat all that. And maybe, just maybe, you'll try a different milkshake flavor next time. (Spoiler: You probably won't, but it's fun...

Normally I have a good experience every time I come to this location but today was terrible! It’s my daughters birthday and she wanted a strawberry cheesecake shake. I also ordered a milkshake - chocolate malt with m&ms. I paid, drove off got to the red light and noticed I didn’t have any m&ms in mine. I turned around went back and noticed the line was long so I parked and me and my daughter walked to the window. We stood at the window for SEVERAL minutes. The cashier that originally took my order looked back at us and continued to make drinks and take orders. Another worker that was doing NOTHING just looked at us. I don’t know if there was somebody specifically working the window but I thought it was extremely rude that 2 ppl saw us standing there and just ignored us. At this point I just want a refund because somebody could’ve at least said “one moment” or something to acknowledge they see us and will get to us shortly . We got back in the car got in line and when I told the girl I wanted a refund I’m guessing the MOD (I’m hoping he is not the manager of the restaurant) asked me what’s going on and I explained to him about my order and how we were ignored at the window and he had a ATTITUDE about it like I was wrong ! No apology or nothing all he had to say was “I can’t take that back through the window” and closed the window to refund my money. All I wanted was for my milkshake to be fixed right but y’all want to be rude about it. Then to top it off when I pulled off I see 2 ppl standing at the window and he HELPS THEM!! What kind of mess is that ?!? Sorry this review is so long but that really made me mad! All I asked for was m&ms in my milkshake lol. I could’ve spent my money somewhere else but this is what my daughter wanted. This location definitely needs some customer...

Just wanted a cheese quesadilla. Cause i dont eat chicken.... They first gave me chicken strips then i got out of the car and came up to the front window where i sat for 20 min to be acknowledged some one finally comes to the window talks to the 2 people in front of me and disappeared. Mean wile there are young 18-20 somethings spitting on each other. Causing one group to leave.the people spitting almost hit my car as they left 10 mins later he finally comes back to the window and i tell him i ordered a quesadilla. And before i can finish my sentence he says i can keep the strips and he will fix it. So 15 mins later i get a cold chicken quesadilla. I get sick if i eat chicken so i take it back and the guy got pissed off when i said i wanted a cheese quesadilla. Just cheese and sause on a tortilla. To which he jerks the bag out of my hand and tossed it in the trash. Fast forward i have been waiting for 35 mins with the people in front of me who had been waiting for 2 chocolate shakes. Just shakes. When the girl in front of me gets impatient because no one is working on what we order. Shes mad for me so she opened the window and asked why no one had fix my order that was made an hr ago. The manager looking person rolled their eyes and bared the window. The little man on grill them started making my quesadilla. 5 min later i get my quesadilla. I bite into it and there is no sause. I spent an hour and 5 minutes of my life trying to get a cheese quesadilla with the sause. Didnt get it and had to eat soggy fries and onion rings because i couldnt stay awake any longer.

Tl:dr; I spent an hr & 5 min to eat a dry quesadilla and soggy fries and onion rings and almost have my car hit by a moody teen...
