haha.."the cookout"....."cookout" has been around since the late 90's. I think the one on Walnut Street in Cary opened in early 2000. Cookout's food is OK; mostly popular with teens and college students because it is cheap. But their milkshakes ("Fancy Milkshakes" I believe they called them) were fantastic. I think I remember them having a caramel cheesecake one with real chunks of cheesecake. I wish I could find something like that up here in NY now!
Actually according to wikipedia, their first place opened in 1989 in greensboro, and as of a couple years ago they expanded out of state. That milkshake u described sounds nasty. I'd go for a mango or fruit flavor. This food is for hip active teens, not us grown folks.
Maybe so, but they print Bible verses on their cups and wrappers (http://www.examiner.com/restaurant-in-knoxville/cook-out-packaging-with-bible-verses-photo - broken link), so I go places that don't proselytize.
I've been there a couple times but didn't notice the verses. Maybe they don't all do it - or, more likely, I was more interested in what was inside the cup.

"God bless the USA" What a terrible message. We should all boycott the place.

I will never be too old to enjoy icecream, cheesecake, and caramel!
I'm partial to the BBQ sandwich combo with slaw and fries. The fries and slaw are excellent. One of the best places in town for good affordable fast food.
I walked out of our local 5 Guys burger after seeing the prices and got a whole Cookout combo for the same price of a 5 Guys burger.
I'm still waiting for Krystal's and Culver's to make their way to NC.
oh yes, krystals! i went on a roadtrip to tampa and stopped at my first one last year and i'm in love.
also, this thread has made me want to go to cookout now lol
