Below is a menu-focused version using the Cook Out menu categories and 2026 pricing evidence I could verify. Because Cook Out does not publish one universal nationwide price list online, I’ve labeled prices as recently observed/2026 reference prices rather than presenting them as fixed prices for every location. The official Cook Out site confirms the menu and restaurant location structure, while current menu-board research shows that prices can vary by restaurant.
Cookout Menu: Dishes and Prices
The Cookout menu is built around burgers, chicken, barbecue, hot dogs, trays, sides, quesadillas, wraps, drinks, and a large selection of milkshakes. The restaurant is particularly known for its customizable Cook Out Tray, which combines a main item with two sides and a drink.
For anyone searching for Cookout menu prices, the important thing to know is that prices can differ between locations. Recent 2026 menu-board observations showed a regular Tray at $7.99 and a Jr. Tray at $6.99 at several checked locations, while individual menu items also showed some variation.
Complete Cookout Menu and Prices
The following sections organize the main Cookout menu items into easy-to-scan categories. Prices are reference prices from recent 2026 menu research, not a guaranteed nationwide price list.
Cookout Tray Menu and Prices
The Cook Out Tray is one of the most recognizable parts of the Cookout food menu. A Tray includes a main entrée, two side choices or a double portion of one side, and a beverage. Recent restaurant-board observations showed the Jr. Tray at $6.99 and the regular Tray at $7.99 at Raleigh, Alpharetta, and Gadsden locations.
| Cookout Tray Item | Description | Recent Reference Price |
|---|---|---|
| Jr. Tray | Junior entrée with two sides and a drink | $6.99 |
| Regular Tray | Regular entrée with two sides and a drink | $7.99 |
| Regular Tray + Shake | Regular Tray with regular shake replacing drink | $9.49* |
*Recent Raleigh and Alpharetta menu boards showed a $1.50 charge to replace the included beverage with a regular shake.
Cookout Tray Entrée Choices
Depending on location and Tray size, choices include burgers, barbecue, chicken, quesadillas, chicken strips, and other menu options. Recent menu-board research specifically documented the following Tray combinations:
| Tray Choice | Description | Reference Price |
|---|---|---|
| Big Double Burger Tray | Double burger with two sides and drink | $8.29** |
| BBQ Sandwich Tray | BBQ sandwich with two sides and drink | $7.99** |
| Cajun Chicken Tray | Cajun chicken entrée with two sides and drink | $8.49** |
| Quesadilla Tray | Quesadilla with two sides and drink | $7.99** |
| Chicken Strips Tray | Chicken strips with two sides and drink | $8.79** |
| Corn Dog Tray | Corn dog with two sides and drink | $7.49** |
**These figures come from an independent 2026 price-tracking source and differ from some individual restaurant-board observations, so they should be treated as reference prices rather than universal Cook Out prices.
Cookout Burgers Menu and Prices
Burgers are a major part of the Cookout menu, with choices ranging from standard hamburgers and cheeseburgers to larger double and specialty burgers. Cook Out’s official nutrition information also separately identifies hamburger, cheese, chicken, and beef portions.
| Burger | Description | Reference Price |
|---|---|---|
| Cheeseburger | Char-grilled burger with cheese | $3.99 |
| Big Double Burger | Larger burger featuring two patties | $5.29 |
| Huge Burger | Larger Cook Out burger option | $6.29 |
| Bacon Cheddar Burger | Burger with bacon and cheddar | $6.49 |
Recent 2026 menu research places the regular burgers and sandwich section at approximately $3.99–$6.49, although individual locations may post different prices.
Cookout Style and Specialty Burgers
Cook Out is also associated with different burger preparation styles and toppings. The exact topping combinations should be confirmed at the local restaurant because menu-board selections can vary.
Commonly documented style choices include combinations such as Cook Out Style and other specialty topping arrangements. If you are ordering a burger with multiple toppings, checking the local board is useful because the same basic burger may have different customization options.
Cookout Chicken Menu
The Cookout chicken menu includes grilled chicken, Cajun-style chicken, crispy chicken and chicken strips. Recent menu listings document both grilled and Cajun chicken sandwiches, while restaurant menu boards also show original-style and Cajun-style chicken breast options.
| Chicken Item | Description | Reference Price |
|---|---|---|
| Original Style Chicken Breast | Grilled chicken breast with standard toppings | $4.85–$4.99 |
| Cajun Chicken Sandwich | Chicken sandwich with Cajun seasoning | $5.49 |
| Grilled Chicken Sandwich | Grilled chicken served as a sandwich | $5.29 |
| Chicken Strips | Breaded chicken strips served with sauce | $3.39+ |
| Chicken Strip Sandwich | Chicken strips served in sandwich form | $3.39+ |
The Original Style Chicken Breast was recently observed at $4.85–$4.99 across selected restaurant boards, illustrating why the Cookout menu prices can differ by location.
Cookout Chicken Strips
Chicken strips can be ordered individually or as part of a Tray or plate-style meal. A recent Charlotte menu listing showed a three-piece chicken strip order with sauce at $3.39.
For larger meals, the independently tracked 2026 menu lists a four-piece Chicken Strip Plate with two sides at approximately $9.79.
Cookout BBQ Menu
Barbecue is another important part of the Cookout food menu. The BBQ Sandwich uses chopped North Carolina-style barbecue, and BBQ can also be selected as part of a Tray or ordered as a plate.
| BBQ Item | Description | Reference Price |
|---|---|---|
| BBQ Sandwich | Chopped North Carolina-style barbecue sandwich | $4.99 |
| BBQ Sandwich Tray | BBQ sandwich with two sides and drink | $7.99* |
| BBQ Plate | BBQ served with two sides | $9.49* |
The BBQ Sandwich was recently listed at $4.99 in 2026 price research, while the BBQ Plate was listed around $9.49.
Cookout BBQ Plate
The BBQ Plate is intended as a fuller meal and is listed with two sides in recent menu references. Hushpuppies are also associated with the plate-style barbecue menu.
Cookout Hot Dogs and Corn Dogs
The Cookout menu also includes hot dogs and corn dogs. These provide smaller individual options as well as Tray-compatible choices.
| Item | Description | Reference Price |
|---|---|---|
| Hot Dog | Hot dog served on a bun | Varies by location |
| Corn Dog | Battered corn dog | About $1.49–$2.29 |
| Corn Dog Tray | Corn dog with two sides and drink | About $7.49 |
A 2026 menu reference lists the plain hot dog and corn dog among the lower-priced Cook Out food items, while another current menu source lists a Corn Dog at $2.29 as a side. These differences demonstrate the importance of checking the individual restaurant’s board.
Cookout Wraps and Quesadillas
Wraps and quesadillas add another group of handheld items to the Cookout menu items. They can also appear among the choices for a Cook Out Tray.
| Item | Description | Reference Price |
|---|---|---|
| Chicken Quesadilla | Chicken and cheese quesadilla | $4.99 |
| Quesadilla Side | Smaller quesadilla portion available as a side | $2.79 |
| Chicken Wrap | Chicken wrap | About $2.99 as side |
| Bacon Wrap | Bacon-based wrap option | Location dependent |
The Chicken Quesadilla has recently been listed at $4.99, while a side Quesadilla was listed at $2.79.
Cookout Sides Menu and Prices
Sides are especially important because two side selections are included with the regular Cook Out Tray. Recent menu research documents fries, onion rings, hushpuppies, slaw, white cheddar bites, chicken nuggets, corn dogs, quesadillas, and wraps among the available side choices.
| Side | Description | Reference Price |
|---|---|---|
| Hushpuppies | Southern-style fried cornmeal side | $2.29 |

These prices are 2026 reference prices from an independent menu database and may differ from your local Cook Out restaurant.

Cookout Fries and Onion Rings
Fries and onion rings provide traditional fried side choices. Recent references list Cajun Fries at $2.49 and Onion Rings at $2.79.

Cookout Drinks, Floats and Desserts
Drinks and dessert options round out the Cookout menu. Recent menu-board research documented fountain beverages, fresh-brewed tea, bottled water, floats, cheesecake and Fancy Milkshakes.
| Item | Description | Recent Reference Price |

Popular Cookout Menu Choices
Several categories stand out when looking through the Cookout menu items: the Cook Out Tray, burgers, barbecue, chicken and milkshakes.
The Tray is particularly useful for customers who want a complete meal because it combines a main item, two sides and a beverage. The menu also gives customers the ability to choose different combinations rather than ordering a fixed side selection.
For a burger-focused meal, choices include the Cheeseburger, Big Double Burger and specialty burgers. Chicken customers can choose grilled, Cajun or crispy options, while barbecue fans can order the BBQ Sandwich or BBQ Plate.
The milkshake selection is considerably broader than the typical fast-food dessert menu, with fruit, chocolate, candy, cookie, peanut butter and cheesecake combinations.
Cookout Menu Prices: What to Know
There is not one fixed nationwide Cookout price sheet that can be applied to every restaurant. Current menu research from multiple locations shows that some items have different prices depending on the restaurant. For example, a Regular Burger was recently observed at $3.99 in some locations and $4.39 in another, while White Cheddar Cheese Bites ranged from $3.39 to $3.99.
For that reason, the prices in this guide should be treated as 2026 reference prices. Tax, location, menu updates and other local differences can affect the final amount.
The official Cook Out website provides the restaurant’s menu and location information, but does not present one universal online price list for every restaurant.
