The Take

Order the double burger tray with fries and an Oreo shake. Everything else at Cookout is 86 slop.

Real beef patties stand out in a menu otherwise built on industrial hot dogs, chicken strips, and default vegetable oil fries. Trays deliver massive calories for pocket change, but the shakes remain the lone highlight.

The Verdict

Cookout earns its 86 slop score by frying everything in vegetable oil while charging almost nothing for calorie bombs. The real beef and decent shakes cannot rescue the rest of the industrial lineup.

Grab the double burger tray exactly once if you value cheap nostalgia over clean ingredients. Skip the rest.
