They’re always soggy like a wet noodle and they never put enough seasoning on them. This will be the downfall of Cook Out, mark my words

Marked.

Soggy, i bet overcooked, and not enough seasoning. The trifecta of sux.

Good thing they have a whole ass menu of better sides to choose from.

Not sure why anyone would ever get fries at cook out, even if they were good, because the other sides are just better.

I always got cajun cheese fries and hush puppies with my pulled pork sammich. What other options are there?

8/25/2025 12:42:41 PM

The regular fries at Cook Out suck! The cajun fries at Cook Out suck! Get the gd chicken quesadilla!

8/25/2025 1:30:18 PM

Cheese bites
Onion rings
Chicken wrap
Quesadillas
Hush puppies
Mother fucking corn dog
Chicken nuggets
A goddamn walking taco

All of these are much better choices than fuckin fries. The only shittier side is slaw. Because cabbage is gross.

8/25/2025 1:55:57 PM

Oh hell yeah corn dog!

[Edited on August 25, 2025 at 2:12 PM. Reason : I don't even think they had quesadillas last time i went]

8/25/2025 2:12:11 PM

onion rings and hushpuppies !

my cajun fries today were fucking atrocious

and I got a spicy chicken sandwich, and 50% of it was too chewy

what is going on? I thought I could always count on Cook Out to at least give me mid-level food. I didn't think it would actually go into terrible at any point

the fries were just hard or overly chewy just like the chicken was

also decided to get an oreo shake and there were 2 inches of Oreo in the bottom.. might be thinking twice on going back there. the last time I went, they actually messed up my order. They had never messed up a single order of mine since I've been going since.. what 2002 maybe?

I hate to complain about fast food bc I know people need jobs and they hate working, and I completely get that, but what's with the decline in quality of the food itself?

3/17/2026 3:38:49 PM

I always got fries and a corn dog. I don't remember being the fries being anything to phone home about, but they were satisfying to stuff into my face.

Also, I remember I got a $10,000 student loan because I didn't get a teaching assistantship, but then I was awarded a TA at the last minute, and seriously blew the majority of that $10,000 on CookOut milkshakes. 2 per night - Heath Cheesecake was my go-to. I always required a drink tray to carry them + my beverage.

This would have been about 20 years ago.

Bojangle's is for French fries
Cook-Out is for hushpuppies

3/21/2026 11:40:53 PM

Bojangles fries also suck

3/22/2026 12:04:40 AM

3/22/2026 1:00:17 AM

Bo’s fries are elite, even if you get an older batch

3/22/2026 8:40:38 AM

Sure if you like soggy gross fries

3/22/2026 11:23:58 AM

chilis got some good fries imo

3/22/2026 11:29:00 AM

Bo's fries are very hit or miss

if they mess them up even a little they're garbage - same with cook out lol

and bojo's literally puts no seasoning on mine 2 out of 3 times... at the very least it's 50% of the time. not sure why they can't get any consistency with them

and a lot of times I'll get them at peak hours, so they should be fresh and good

Bo's have been more miss than hit lately unfortunately (like the last 6 months) maybe my location just sucks

cook out's have also been steadily going down, which I hate

zaxby's and mcd's are always pretty solid

3/22/2026 12:06:00 PM

^Sometimes theres too much seasoning too

3/22/2026 12:09:43 PM

for me there's never too much

that is extremely rare

it's always not enough

3/22/2026 6:27:46 PM

damn, now i want some bojangles

cookout fries are decent when covered in chili and cheese
