Plant-based ordering notes
Cook Out is a burger-and-shake chain. There is no certified vegan menu. Ask staff before you rely on any item.
Nutrition varies by location
Calories on the nutrition page are transcribed from Cook Out’s public PDF on cookout.com (retrieved August 31, 2026; the file is undated). We do not invent missing items. Confirm calories and allergens in-store. Unofficial tools on this site are planning sketches only.
Not a vegan certification
We do not have a dated official ingredient list. Shared fryers and condiment stations mean cross-contact is possible. The veggie burger may still contain egg, dairy, or honey depending on the patty and toppings. Confirm at the store.
Ask about these
- Veggie burger — hold mayo and cheese; ask what is in the patty
- Fries / Cajun fries — oil and shared fryer vary by store
- Fresh brewed tea and fountain sodas — usually the simplest drinks
- Mustard, pickles, onion, lettuce, tomato — common free toppings; still ask
Usually not vegan
- Meat, chicken, chili, bacon, cheese, milkshakes
- Honey mustard (honey)
- Ranch and most creamy sauces
- Cheese bites
- Slaw — often mayo-based; do not assume it is vegan
- Hushpuppies — often contain egg or dairy
How people order
If you want a meatless main, start by asking whether the veggie burger patty is vegan at that location, then hold mayo and cheese. Load lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and mustard if those work for you.
Fries are a maybe, not a guarantee. Shared fryers with chicken and cheese bites are common. If cross-contact matters, skip fried sides.
There is no dairy-free Fancy Milkshake on the boards we have seen. Tea or soda is the usual drink.
