Ok food, inaccurate prices.
I had never heard of Cookout before so I decided to look it up online before going. The online menu sounded fantastic, consisting of a huge variety of choices and all for prices under $2.50. I guess I should have known if it sounds too good to be true then it probably is.
I ordered a cheddar style burger and shake and the total came to $7.11 which is pretty pricey for a drive-thru fast food joint and really irritated me because it was almost $2.00 more than the prices shown on their official company website. I am not trying to sound cheap but I HATE when companies do false advertising or fail to update their websites, it's misleading.
As for the food, the burger itself was good and the bacon pretty tasty but the cheese oozing all over it was not. I LOVE cheeseburgers and can't remember ever disliking one in my life, but the cheese they used tasted like a a cheap over-processed American singles slice from the grocery store, even though it was clearly listed on the menu as Cheddar. They also didn't offer any condiments but luckily I had some ketchup at home to try and drown out the cheap cheese taste. As for the shake, it was pretty good but tasted more like Vanilla with a hint of Peanut Butter, rather than the Peanut Butter Fudge flavour I ordered.
All in all this place is ok if you are in the area and desperate but for the price you can definitely get better elsewhere.
