Every Cook Out Milkshake Flavor Ranked: 40+ Shakes From Best to Legendary

Cook Out makes their milkshakes the old-fashioned way: with real ice cream, real ingredients, and a thickness that requires a spoon. With over 40 Cook Out milkshake flavors to choose from, the decision can feel overwhelming. We tasted, ranked, and categorized every single one.

The Top Tier: Must-Try Flavors

#1 - Banana Pudding

The undisputed champion. This shake tastes exactly like homemade banana pudding - creamy vanilla base, real banana flavor, and subtle vanilla wafer notes throughout. At about 640 calories, it is worth every single one.

If you only try one Cook Out milkshake in your life, make it this one. The nostalgia factor is off the charts.

#2 - Cheesecake

Rich, tangy, and impossibly creamy. The Cheesecake shake captures that authentic New York cheesecake flavor with a graham cracker finish. It runs about 720 calories but feels like a dessert you would pay $8 for at a sit-down restaurant.

Pro tip: mix it half and half with Strawberry for a strawberry cheesecake experience that rivals Cheesecake Factory.

#3 - Fresh Banana

Not to be confused with Banana Pudding. The Fresh Banana shake uses actual fresh bananas blended into vanilla ice cream. The result is lighter, fruitier, and less sweet than its pudding cousin.

At roughly 560 calories, it is one of the lighter shake options. Perfect for when you want something sweet but not heavy.

#4 - Oreo

A classic done right. Real Oreo cookie pieces blended throughout a vanilla base. The cookie chunks stay crunchy even after blending. At about 680 calories, it is a cookie lover's dream.

Mix half Oreo with half Mint Chocolate Chip for an Andes mint experience that will ruin you for regular shakes.

#5 - Peanut Butter Fudge

The richest, most indulgent shake on the menu. At approximately 900 calories, this is not for the faint of heart. The combination of peanut butter and chocolate fudge creates a flavor so dense it borders on a meal replacement.

Share this one. Seriously. It is delicious but incredibly filling.

Seasonal & Limited-Time Flavors

Cook Out rotates seasonal flavors throughout the year. Fresh Watermelon appears in summer and is incredibly refreshing at about 480 calories. Pumpkin Pie hits in fall and tastes like Thanksgiving in a cup. Eggnog arrives for the holidays and is polarizing - you either love it or hate it.

These seasonal flavors are worth planning visits around. The Watermelon shake in particular is a summer must-try that you will not find anywhere else.
