On the board they are listed as White Cheddar Cheese Bites. Bite-sized chunks of white cheddar in a light breading, fried until the cheese starts to melt inside. They are richer than hushpuppies and usually cost a little more than fries.
Our Southeast pass (July 31, 2026) shows $3.39 à la carte. You can also pick them as one of the two side slots on a Cook Out Tray. Prices vary by store — confirm at the window.
How many cheese bites come in an order?
Cook Out does not publish a national piece count we can cite. In fan talk, people describe two shapes: a tray side portion (smaller, meant to sit beside a burger or strips) and a standalone side order that feels closer to a dozen pieces. The box you receive is the truth — count it if you are splitting with friends.
If you need an exact count for catering math, ask at the speaker. This unofficial guide will not invent “always 12.”
Calories (unofficial ballpark only)
We do not have a dated official Cook Out nutrition line for cheese bites that we can quote as fact. Third-party menu sites sometimes list rough figures — about 380 calories for a larger order and about 150 calories for a tray-side portion. Those numbers are unverified rumors. Treat them as “fried cheese is not light,” not as tracking data.

Portion notes
Cheese and frying make these an indulgent side. Ranch or Cook Out sauce is a common dip. Shared fryer oil with hushpuppies and breaded chicken is the usual cross-contact story — not a gluten-free safe pick.
Tray hack worth trying
Cheese Bites as your second tray side — with a burger or chicken strips as the main — gives you a meal that feels like a proper sit-down dinner, not fast food. Some regulars swap one side for a corn dog and use Cheese Bites as the other. Both tricks work if the store allows the side slot.
What pairs well with White Cheddar Cheese Bites?
- → Ranch or Cook Out Sauce — almost mandatory for dipping.
