Pissed customer Angry I ordered food from the cookout on Wilmington st in Raleigh NC. My first bite I found a twist tie in my walking taco. I take the food so they can see it I also got videos and pictures to show. The cashier said to me that she don't know how it got there because the doritos are freshly open then she explained that it came from the cheese because they keep the bread over the cheese. Negligence!!! Im so grossed out not to mention I have a fresh lip peircing that was hit by the wire.

Poor customer support.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

On February 8, 2024 my wife and I stopped at Cook Out in Brunswick, GA for an evening milkshake. Ordinarily the milkshakes are very good at the one that we generally patronize in Wilmington, NC.

This time in Brunswick was terrible! I ordered a Reese's peanut butter shake and received from the car-through one that had virtually no discernable flavor. When I got to the bottom of the milkshake I found syrup that had not been mixed along with several flakes of chocolate. I also found out why I had milk shake on my clothing---The container had *** in the bottom apparently noticed by the young women who were servicing the drive thorough window.

I know this since they both were checking the milkshake as I was stopped to pay. I wrote to Cook Out to register a complaint. and I got a one line note that they were sorry for the problem. The person responding did not even offer a solution nor coupon to this very good customer.

Cook Out has lost this customer.

I personally would NEVER recommend stopping at Cook Out. Their customer service i completely lacking.

Would love to be able attach the puck my husband went and order me a double burger cookout style the sandwich was one burger cut in half. The sides he chose was onion rings and French fries I got the fries in a childs container and the food was not in tray just thrown in the bags. I was so disappointed I did not ask him to go back because he is disabled and i wanted him not to feel bad. This gave him the opportunity to go out and drive without me been he is above the knee amputation. Sad how people are treated but took his money. Wanted be back!!!

I have No idea what this person is talking about. It's important to pay attention in school so you can communicate through writing.

Poor Customer Service

Very nasty Hispanic man working in this location who tried to throw my box of food out the window at me and when I asked for a bag with ketchup as well he stated he was busy either take the food or he would give me my money back very rudely. He is overwhelmed with this job and need a new one asap.

Cook Out - Rude customer service
I order three meals but got two. When I question the drive through worker, she said I didn't hear you and!!! I said if you can't hear me, ask for me to speak up. Not put in whatever. She was very rude and didn't try to help me get my order right. It was the attitude like take it or leave it The service was terrible!!

I ate my fries and everything was fine but I got halfway through my one of my three chicken tenders and it was chewy but I just assumed it was over cooked and Im fine with that but it was the complete opposite. I pulled out my flashlight to confirm my suspicions and found that the inside of the chicken tender was pink fully pink. I instantly called customer service once I found that I could have potential salmonella poisoning from my favorite eatery.

Someone left the thing used to close plastic bags on my food, due to them having an attitude. She was talking in a hostile matter, and after taking our order she took off. She sent someone else to the window to tell us our total, who's name is on the receipt. So when she went away and purposely put that on my food.
