Located near Charlotte University City Area. We discovered Cook Out late one night after attending a concert at the nearby Verizon Wireless Amphitheater. It was after midnight on a Saturday night and as I drove by I noticed that Cook Out was really, really busy, that's often a good sign so I flipped a u-turn on Tryon St. and we pulled in to one of two drive-thru windows, since there was no indoor area.
I ordered a "Huge Burger" and upgraded to "Cheddar Style". It turned out to be an excellent choice. A half pound double cheese burger with bacon and grilled onions. It was an excellent burger featuring 2 smaller but thick and tasty patties delivered piping hot. I was surprised that the cheese was a sauce, I believe a good real cheddar would be better, but I still enjoyed it. I also sampled the Hush Puppies, a corn fritter inspired finger food, the Hush Puppies were very good. But the highlight of the late night meal was the "Fancy" strawberry/banana shake, it was just awesome!
I'd recommend Cook Out to good friends as one of my favorite reasonably priced fast food restaurants, especially for late night munchies.
