"This cookout is and has been amazing every time! I always do a big double tray but mix up the sides as I please. Cheese bites are always fried great, never overdone or underdone, and never stale. Quesadillas always have good meat and portions, and the fries are consistently great. Was served by Jontay and let me tell you, PERFECT service! The best I’ve ever had at cookout ever. 11/10"

"This is the type of place I don't check my drive thru order before I leave. I've came here for years and my order is always correct and tasty. Miguel in the drive thru is the kindest and most professional voices I've heard at a fast food restaurant in a long time, ill continue to eat here and recommend it to anyone else looking for something fast, cheap and tasty!"

"Went there at about 9 at night, first time going to this cookout in South Carolina the customer service was good the people there were very friendly and helpful for the fact that I really didn't know the menu and because of that I happened to ask a lot of questions. The service was fast as it should be, being an fast food restaurant and all. Only problem is like any fast food restaurant you should make sure to ask for a specific amount of ice because they will easily give you more ice than drink if you do not. Also it seems like the amount of sides that they give you are kinda small in my opinion. Still would go back and try other things on the menu with the experience that I had the first time."

"Really nice place kind of like an old bellhop from like the 50s except you go up to get your food they don’t come out to give you your food in the car but it was pretty quick. It was extremely hot and it was done right all the manager I met the manager here, a really nice guy knew everything about the store and all the other stores in the area to very impressive. It was a good value for the money I didn’t like the milkshake. The milkshake was kind of like a soft serve with whole peaches in it, instead of chopped up peaches, but other than that it was hot I purchase it and drove probably like 5 miles and then ate it and it was still nice and hot fries were hot. It’s a good deal. The values there. I will definitely stop back again. Thanks guys. 00 the only thing I didn’t like was standing outside for my food. I would’ve much rather stood inside or have a canopy over that area because it was raining. I would’ve left and not ordered it. I wouldn’t stand out there in the rain for two for 5- 10 minutes."

"The food I thought the food was pretty good there. It was extremely cheap for what you’re getting and the burger was really good. I think they could’ve gone bigger with the portion sizes. The milkshake was decent, but I’ve had a lot better if you’re looking for a charcoal burger this is the place for you"

"The speed of service and accuracy is equaled only by chic fil a. We always get fast Ave efficient service. The prices are good and the food is always hot. At one point, I asked for extra onions, and the staff delivered hilariously. They put about half an onion on my burger lol. Tbh it wasn't that bad. I'd recommend them if you're in a rush or don't have the patience for places that mess up orders regularly."

"Food is always 10/10 and they get it right but after last night I almost don’t want to go anymore. Lady working the register last night was very rude and made us feel borderline unwanted. She was rude when taking our order, The second food was handed we went to ask for a spoon for our milkshake and napkins but the drive thru door was already shut…We waited for the lady to open it back up and when she finally did she rolled her eyes, we asked for the spoon and she had such an attitude. Gave us a snarky look when we left…Like im sorry a spoon was such a crazy ask???"
