| - I go here way too often. There are other Cook-Outs around, but this is the only one I know of with indoor seating -- and it just happens to be the closest one to me. The dining room's open until 11pm (12am on weekends), and the drive-through's open til 1am or 3am.
The "Cook Out tray" is a great deal: a sandwhich, two sides, and a large drink for less than $5 (you can substitute a shake for the huge drink for $1.. and add a regular soda, and save some change; Coke and Cheerwine on tap). I get either a double burger "Cook Out style" (chili & slaw) or "steak style" (steak sauce and grilled onions), or a chicken sandwich "original style", and add sides of a corndog and fries (skip the onion rings -- they're nasty). Their fries are good; other places have better burgers, but not this cheaply. Sandwich, fries, corndog (or bacon wrap, or chicken wrap), soda, and milkshake, all for about $8.
The hardest question is, what kind of shake to get. There are about 40 flavors; my favorites are oreo mint, peach cobbler, and orange push-up, but sometimes I'll vary it and get chocolate malt, or chocolate cherry, or strawberry, or.... Some of the flavors are just too sweet for me (walnut, pecan pie). Generally, I stick with flavors that I'd actually eat with ice cream -- they have cherry cheesecake milkshakes, but eating cheesecake with ice cream doesn't sound like fun to me.
Now -- the noise. It varies. Sometimes, you could be the only person eating here, but sometimes, a busload of teens will show up.
