The standard format of the restaurant features two drive-thru lanes and a walk-up window, but no indoor seating. Some newer locations have an indoor dining room and counter service similar to a traditional fast-food restaurant, but most still only have drive-thru and walk-up service. The restaurant specializes in hamburgers, milkshakes, and North Carolina-style pork barbecue.
History
Morris Reaves founded Cook Out in 1989.[4] He is currently the owner of the company, with his son, Jeremy Reaves, serving as the CEO.
The first Cook Out location opened in Greensboro, North Carolina, in 1989. Over 50 more locations opened in North Carolina before expanding out of the state.[5] As of November 2022, 326 locations are operating in ten states.
Their menu primarily features grilled hamburgers and cheeseburgers, hot dogs, chicken sandwiches, North Carolina barbecue[2] and quesadillas.[13] A signature to their menu is the Cook Out Tray, which features combinations of entrees, sides and a drink or milkshake. Another feature of Cook Out's menu is their selection of more than 40 flavors of milkshakes.[14] A featured drink on their menu is Cheerwine, a local North Carolina cherry soda usually only served in North Carolina and surrounding states.[13]
