Hushpuppies are pure Cook Out comfort food. Little balls of seasoned cornmeal batter, fried until the outside is crisp and the inside stays soft. They are sweet-savory in a way that pairs with almost anything on the menu — burgers, chicken strips, BBQ, you name it.

At just $1.99, they are also one of the cheapest sides on the board. That is why you see them on so many trays: maximum flavor per dollar, and they fill you up faster than you expect.

Portion notes

A full order is a fried side — filling, not light. If you are watching intake, split them on a tray with a grilled main or a diet drink. Confirm nutrition in-store; we do not publish official calories.

The classic tray pairing

Ask any regular: Cajun Fries plus Hushpuppies is the default two-side combo. Spiced potatoes on one side, sweet corn fritters on the other. Add a Big Double Cook Out Style and a Cheerwine, and you have the meal that built the brand's reputation on college campuses across the South.

What pairs well with Hushpuppies?

  • Cajun Fries — the two-side pairing regulars mention most often.

  • Banana Pudding milkshake — sweet on sweet, surprisingly good.
