Cook Out menu with prices
(2026)

Prices for the cookout menu (2026)

This is an unauthorized, dated reading of Southeast boards, displaying the BBQ menu and prices for 2026. When you type “cookout menu,” “cookout menu prices,” or “cookout menu with prices 2026,” you expect to see dollars next to platters, burgers, and shakes, not a picture gallery with no figures. Food is shown on the official cookout.com/menu rather than a national price list. The board is appointed by franchise businesses. Our most recent flyby, verified in July 2026, was for Southeast areas (North Carolina and surrounding states).

Cook Out began operations in Greensboro, North Carolina, in 1989. More than 350 restaurants in the Southeast are routinely included in public reporting. Customers remember the tray, char-grilled hamburgers, BBQ, chicken, hot dogs, wraps, a full cookout side menu, and the cookout milkshake menu. A Jr. Tray typically costs $6.39, while a Regular Tray costs around $7.39. Typically, premium milkshakes are $3.99 per person. These values vary by state; the discrepancy can be explained by how we aggregate pricing and state notes.

Menu categories have category indexes. The Pictures Hub offers priced photos. The PDF document includes a barbecue menu with pricing. We do not develop macros; instead, we copy the calories from the brand’s public nutrition PDF.

Cookout tray menu

The cookout tray menu is the reason the ticket stays low. One main, two sides, one drink. “How much is a cookout tray” is the same intent as cookout tray menu: Regular about $7.39, Jr. about $6.39 on many NC-adjacent boards in July 2026. Mains include a Big Double, chicken strips, grilled or Cajun chicken, two hot dogs, BBQ, or quesadillas depending on the store’s tray rules. Sides include fries (regular or Cajun), hushpuppies, onion rings, a walking taco, corn dogs, and a quesadilla. The drink can often upgrade to a Fancy Milkshake for about $1.60.

Jr. vs Regular is size of the main and sometimes the drink, not a different restaurant. Named combos are fan builds, not corporate SKUs. Build one in the Tray Builder or read the tray guide. Double-up means two of the same side — a window request, not a published SKU.

Cookout milkshake menu and shake menu

The cookout milkshake menu (also searched as cookout shake menu, cookout milkshakes menu, cookout menu milkshakes) is about 39 Fancy Milkshake flavors, typically one large size around 31–35 oz. Standalone price is often $3.99. Mix two flavors — “half and half” — at no extra charge at most stores. Banana Pudding, Oreo Mint, Cheesecake, Reese’s Cup, and seasonal Fresh Watermelon show up in fan notes.

The full flavor list with prices is the dedicated hub; the mixer is for combinations. Floats and cheesecake are not the same as the shake list — use desserts for those lines.

Cookout burger menu

The cookout burger menu is char-grilled patties in small, regular, huge, and Big Double sizes, then styles: Cook Out Style (chili, slaw, mustard, onion), Cheddar Style, Out West, Steak Style, and others. A Big Double is often $3.99 à la carte. Styles are topping packages, not different patty weights.

Details: burgers and Big Double. Sauces sit on sauces. If you only remember one burger line, remember Cook Out Style. A veggie burger exists as a meat-free patty — still confirm toppings at the window.

Chicken, BBQ, and hot dogs

Chicken covers char-grilled breast sandwiches, Cajun chicken, strips, and club-style builds. BBQ is chopped pork on a bun or as a plate. Hot dogs include a plain dog near a dollar and chili or Cook Out Style dogs when you want the same toppings as the burger.

Category pages: chicken, BBQ, hot dogs. Two hot dogs can fill a tray main slot at many stores. Strips can be a snack box or a tray main depending on the count.

Wraps, quesadillas, and walking tacos

Bacon ranch wrap, Cajun wrap, and quesadillas (chicken, cheese, cheeseburger) are separate lines from burgers. A quesadilla is often a tray side around $1.99. A walking taco is Fritos, chili, and cheese in the bag — also a common side. Landings: wraps & quesadillas, bacon wrap, walking taco.

Cookout sides menu, drinks, and fries

The cookout sides menu is fries, Cajun fries, cheese fries, hushpuppies, onion rings, cheese bites, walking tacos, corn dogs, and quesadillas. “Cookout fries” usually means the potato side. Regular and Cajun are often about $2.39 à la carte; cheese fries a bit more. Double-up fries on a tray is a normal speaker request.

Browse sides, Cajun fries, and drinks. Cheerwine is the regional cherry soda; a Cheerwine float is soda over ice cream, not a Fancy Milkshake.

Ice cream menu vs desserts vs shakes

Ice cream on this chain is mostly floats and a cheesecake slice, not a 31-flavor scoop case. Use the desserts menu for those lines. Banana Pudding and Oreo Mint belong on the milkshake hub. Mixing those intents on one URL is how clone sites cannibalize themselves; we keep shakes and floats separate.

Pictures, images with prices, and PDF

Searches for cookout menu with photographs, cookout menu pictures of food, and cookout menu photos with pricing all require a visual. Our images with prices page is that set.

Use the PDF portal to download a cookout menu with prices (printed takeaway menu). Print it if you’re ordering for a group.

Takeout cookout menu and drive-thru

Takeout cookout menu is the same priced list as dine-in. Most stores are drive-thru first. There is no national app and no chain-wide delivery kitchen. Some cities show a store on DoorDash or Uber Eats; markups there are not our dated board. Read delivery notes before you assume a bag will show up.

Cookout drive thru menu after midnight is still the full board until close. Typical windows: about 10:30 AM open, 3:00 AM close Sunday–Thursday, 4:00 AM Friday–Saturday. Confirm on hours. Payment notes: payments.

Breakfast, kids, secret menu, calories

Breakfast is not a national all-day board. Some stores sell coffee or a morning ticket; breakfast notes explain what we can date. There is no separate kids-menu SKU we can verify — a Jr. Tray is the usual smaller ticket. Secret menu is fan requests (styles, mixed shakes, quesadilla as a side), not a corporate list: hacks.

Cookout menu calories belong on the cited PDF transcription, not invented tray totals. Open nutrition or the unofficial calculator. We do not invent macros for cheese fries or walking tacos when the PDF has no row.

Cookout near me and city menus

Cookout near me menu and cookout menu with prices near me are local intents. Use city guides for 51 markets, then confirm the board. Official locator: cookout.com/locations.

Raleigh, Charlotte, Greensboro, Columbia, Richmond, and Atlanta-area searches should hit a city URL, not a second homepage. State price notes explain why Kentucky and Mississippi boards can sit under a Maryland sticker for the same Regular Tray.

How to read this unofficial cookout menu

Treat every dollar as a range, not a promise. A cookout restaurant menu in Raleigh can differ from one in Lexington or Pensacola. Tax, drink sizes, and whether a quesadilla counts as a tray side are store habits. We date the pass (July 2026) so you can see when the snapshot froze. If a competitor page lists a coupon code or a certified gluten-free fry, ignore it here — we will not invent those.

Ordering at the speaker is faster if you already know the tray rules: name the main, name two sides or a double-up, name the drink, then say the shake upgrade if you want it. The what to order guide is a script, not a ranking.
