“ After having observed the long lines at their drive through, reading they are opened until 4:00AM, and asking around: What do you think about Cook Out, and getting a smile and positive reaction, I had to go visit one evening for dinner and experience for myself a dining experience there. Housed in a large brick building near Crossroads in Roanoke, Virginia, the front of the building faces Hershberger Rd and has large windows and an outdoor seating area to use in good weather. On the back side of the building the drive through is located and a large parking lot. The entrance to the restaurant is on its side under a bright red and white sign high above. As I entered the place was very clean and two low walls guided you to the ordering counter. Above the counter is the menu and customers stood there reading the menu and picking their order. When it was my turn to order, the friendly order taker answered some questions I had and I ordered a Burger tray with Onion Rings and Slaw, a Peach Cobler Shake, and an extra Cook Out Hot Dog. The order was efficiently taken and charged and then I moved in front of a window on the side to wait to be called to receive my order. After having my order, I picked a table and went to sit down. Even though the size of the burger was not too big, the bun was fresh and soft, and the beef patty was also very fresh. Later I found out that they make their own meat patties from fresh ground beef daily and distribute them to the restaurant. They are never frozen. The quality of the food and reasonably low price seem to be the key to attracting loyal customers. Watching the happy customers coming in as I was eating, made me think back of my childhood, and how much I would enjoy eating an inexpensive hot dog or hamburger at a cook out. It doesn't take an expensive restaurant or food to have an amazing dining experience. The four onion rings served were also were enough, considering the price. The Peach Cobler was very good but too thick to drink with a straw. I got a spoon and ate it like an ice cream with the spoon. At the end, I enjoyed my dinner, was relatively full, and spent very little money having quality food. And I discovered the secret to all the happy return customers that keep frequenting this restaurant. So for all of the above reasons, I recommend this place. After all, everyone loves a good cook out. ”
“ Food is fresh and delicious, service is very fast and I love the shaved ice for my drink. ”
“ Quick and easy ordering. Shakes are pretty good and so is the bbq sandwich which is my usual order. ”
“ I eat here a lot with my coworkers during lunch hour and even if it's busy, our food is up in just a minute or two. The shakes are always dense and delicious. The burgers and sides taste consistently good and it's always clean. The only issue i could find is the chairs they have in dining area screech something terrible when they slide on the floor. If they could put some felt pads under the legs or rubber stops, that would be a big help. Its just so loud and echoes through the space. But food and service is excellent. ”
“ Definitely the FASTEST food place i've ever been to food was amazing way better than any other fast food restaurant and way cheaper ”
“ This is my first time at this location. This is the best Cook Out that I have been to. I had a regular cheeseburger meal with everything no lettuce, canjun fries, onion rings, and a strawberry milkshake. Everything was hot and fresh. The cheeseburger was a nice size and cooked just like I liked and it was really good. The cajun fries were good. The season needs just a little more heat. The onion rings were good, but you only get 4. The strawberry milkshake was really good, they make some of the best milkshakes, period. The customer service was great. The men's bathroom was clean, stocked, and didn't stink. ”
“ I always heard about this place when I lived on the east coast, but I never got to try until 3 years later. It lived up to the hype. There was a crazy long line that night, but it moved pretty fast all things considered. It was exactly what I needed on the road trip, amazing prices for a bunch of good quality fast food. ”
