Why Is Cookout Menu So Popular in the South?

Cookout started small in 1989 in Greensboro, North Carolina. A man named Morris Reaves opened the very first store. He wanted to sell good food that didn’t cost a lot of money. Today, his son Jeremy Reaves runs the company as CEO.

That one small store has grown into more than 350 locations. Most of them are in the Southeastern United States, in states like North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and Georgia.

People love Cook Out because it has something for everyone. You can get burgers, hot dogs, BBQ, chicken, wraps, and sides. And don’t forget the milkshakes Cook Out is famous for having over 40 flavors to pick from.

Cookout was founded in 1989 by Morris Reaves, starting as a single fast-food location that focused on delivering high quality, freshly prepared meals. Over the next nine years, the restaurant grew steadily, opening ten stores and gaining a loyal customer base. From the beginning, Cookout Menu distinguished itself with its commitment to freshness, proudly using the slogan “Always Fresh, Never Frozen,” which highlighted its dedication to serving freshly grilled burgers, chicken, and classic Southern sides at an affordable price. The brand’s focus on quality ingredients and flavorful menu items quickly made it a favorite among local diners, setting the foundation for future expansion.

Originally operating only in North Carolina under the Spartanburg name, Cookout began to expand into new markets by the 2010s. Today, the chain operates over 290 locations across Tennessee, Virginia, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, West Virginia, Mississippi, and Alabama. Known for its late night hours, customizable menu options, and a wide range of shakes and sides, Cookout has become a popular fast-food destination in the Southern United States. From its char-grilled burgers to fresh cut fries and milkshakes, Cookout Menu continues to grow while maintaining the same commitment to quality, affordability, and customer satisfaction that Morris Reaves established more than three decades ago.

Cookout is a well known Southern fast-food chain that is famous for its tasty hot sausages, juicy burgers, smoky barbecues, and delicious milkshakes that are creamy and delicious. The menu is diverse with flavorful and smoky food items; it is a delight for everyone. Don’t pass up the opportunity to indulge in their delicious and small bites at a Cookout Menu nearby location.

Most Cookout locations open at 10:30 AM and stay open until around 3:00 AM. Hours can shift a little depending on the day and the location, so it’s worth checking your nearest store if you’re planning a late-night visit.

A regular Cookout Tray costs around $7.39, and the smaller Jr. Tray runs about $6.39. Both come with a main item, two sides, and a drink.

Milkshakes are priced at $3.99 each, no matter which of the 40+ flavors you pick.

Yes. You can order fries, onion rings, hushpuppies, a cheese quesadilla, or Cajun fries without any meat. Cook Out also has a plant-based hot dog for vegans.

Cook Out doesn’t have a full gluten-free menu, but a few items work for gluten-sensitive customers like a char-grilled burger without the bun, grilled chicken breast, fries, coleslaw, and most milkshakes (as long as they skip cookie mix-ins). It’s still a good idea to ask staff before ordering if you have a gluten allergy.

Cook Out was started in 1989 by Morris Reaves in Greensboro, North Carolina. It began as a single store and has since grown into a chain with hundreds of locations across the Southeastern U.S.

Cookout keeps prices low by offering combo trays instead of pricing every item separately. Ordering a tray usually works out cheaper than buying a burger, side, and drink one by one.

Cook Out closes on Christmas Day, but most locations stay open on Christmas Eve with shorter hours.
