May 19, 2026"Cook out is a GREAT place to eat! My first time visiting and if I ever come back to N.C. I will be sure to eat here again. I had 'walking tacos', 'cajun fries' and a chocolate milkshake. The Cajun fries were great, however, a little spicy for my liking. But that's what Cajun is, right? The walking tacos were AWESOME! They actually came in a Doritos bag. I've NVR had them before so maybe that's wat they're suppose to come in. The restaurant was big, nice and empty to my surprise. The menu looked so good that I figured more people would be dining there. Let's not forget how southern hospitality was on point here. Everyone that worked here were all very friendly. And the restroom was very clean. That's what I like to see. Well 'Cook Out' gets a 5⭐."
