Before this visit, I had only been to a Cookout location once, and that experience wasn’t great. However, this visit completely changed my perspective on Cookout for the better. I was hungry, and since there aren’t many dining options in the city, my friend suggested we give it a try. At first, I was hesitant because of my previous bad experience at a different location, but I decided to keep an open mind and go for it.
I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich (cheddar style), chicken nuggets, and a walking taco as a side, paired with a lemonade. The lemonade was forgettable—I honestly can’t recall what it tasted like—but the food was much better than I expected.
If I were rating Cookout solely on my past visit to a different location, I would’ve never gone back. But this particular location made a full 360° turnaround for me. The food was good enough that I’ll definitely consider ordering from Cookout again.
The chicken sandwich was moist, packed with a decent amount of toppings, and overall delicious. My only minor complaint was that the freshness caused the bun to get a little soggy, but it wasn’t a dealbreaker. The chicken nuggets were fresh, hot, and flavorful—though I wish the portion size had been a bit larger for my liking. As for the walking taco, it was tasty but could’ve been even better with a few more toppings. It primarily consisted of jalapeños, meat, cheese, and chips; a little more variety would’ve elevated it.
We went through the drive-thru, which was fairly packed, but despite the long line, we received our food pretty quickly. While waiting, I peeked inside the restaurant, and it looked clean and well-maintained. The staff working the drive-thru were polite, professional, and friendly, which added to the positive experience.
If you’ve tried Cookout before and weren’t impressed, I’d recommend giving this location a shot. It’s a solid spot in the area, with good food and service. While there’s still some room for improvement, I can confidently see myself returning or recommending it to others.

Fries are consistently hot and fresh which no other fast food place around here can remotely lay claim to. Order is almost always accurate. Chicken patties can be a hit or miss but the burgers are consistently good. Great value for what you pay for

Listen, when you want a delicious bite of the great Red, White and Blue, head on over to Cookout in Sylva, NC. The food makes me feel more American than America is. The good gentleman who served me my food was named Anthony. This dude is going to be president one day, because that was some professional skills and attitude that every restaurant business needs. Anthony deserves a raise, paid vacation, and the recognition for the hard worker that he is. Tonight, my life changed when the feeling of hunger drove me to America's own backyard cookout restaurant in Sylva NC, and my good sir Anthony who works there, gave me a customer experience that will surely bring me back to that delicious taste of America's flag.

The food is fine for what it is and the selection is good as well, but the guy taking my order kept claiming he couldn't understand me despite having no accent and basically yelling. Idk if it's their equipment or what but it was enough to be annoying.

What a great restaurant and chain! Wish we had this as an option down in Florida. They really engage with local schools and keep their food affordable... And I this economy, I know how difficult that must be.
So many food and drinks options, sometimes it's hard to make a decision! But the staff is patient, helpful, and quick to serve-up all the yumminess!
Please open some stores in central Florida!
Parking: Good amount of handicapped spots up front and lots of other parking.

We haven’t dined here in a while. I forgot how reasonably priced their menu is. We ordered a BLT, two corn dogs, french fries and a shake and it cost just over ten dollars. What a deal, especially in this day and age when prices have skyrocketed. The BLT was really good! I’m definitely going to order that again!
