“We always enjoy a great burger here, and they even have gluten free buns! Customer service is fantastic! The wait staff is polite, informative, and give just the right amount of service... and not hovering. Each time we have eaten here, the manager checks in with us to make sure everything is as it should be. Perhaps it was the last time we ate here, I happened to forget an unusual drinking cup. I was totally surprised when today the waitress saw I had a similar one with me and inquired if I might have left one behind. They kept it safe for a few weeks and returned it to me! #10+ for that service!”

I was so impressed! It was a show and everyone for the most part were patient and friendly! Definitely will come back and encourage everyone to!!! Great team great food! Working their butts off!

“I love this Cook Out! I’ve noticed that not all Cook Out locations are created equally, but this one is definitely on the high end in terms of quality and customer service. Don’t get me wrong, the food at Cook Out is mediocre at best, but it’s still one of the only fast food restaurants where you can get a large amount of food for a non-outrageous price. In terms of this particular location, the fries and nuggets weren’t undercooked, which you can’t say about every Cook Out in the area. Additionally, I love their Reese’s Cup milkshake, and consider it one of my favorite desserts out of any fast food restaurant I’ve been to! As such, would recommend!”

“Edit: My sincerest apologies. I thought was the Hardee's establishment in St Matthews as that was the one I visited 6 days ago. This Hardee's has good service. The order was ready when I got there and the employees there really get along well with each other. There was no address again when I did the review. Only when I got the reply. We used theobile app to place an order. We got to the place and had to wait an additional 30 minutes in at the drive thru to get our order and the order was wrong. I don't know what happened to cause the wait to be so long, but it was pretty bad. So bad two cars behind us left. The car on front of us has to wait as well. Maybe they will get it together. But I more than likely will not be returning here.”

“I had the divine pleasure of attending this heavenly establishment SIX years ago while in South Carolina. As I lay my head to rest in my New England town, I fall asleep to the thought of tasting their French fries one more time. Not a day has gone by in the past six years of my life that I haven’t dreamt of these absolutely delectable and mouthwatering sweet potato french fries drizzled ever so beautifully with sweet cinnamon sugar. I shed tears reminiscing the moment I put that first French fry in my mouth. I can only pray to have the satisfaction of tasting these scrumptious and succulent French fries again. I am considering driving 13 hours to have this angelic moment once more.”

“Best Cookout I have ever been to. Never slammed, so no long lines. They always take time to get your order right (I don't think my order has ever been wrong from this location). They are always nice and polite, I even got asked how I was doing during my last visit. Best quality food from any Cookout I've had, shakes are always good. No judgement to locations that are often slammed with customers and therefore have little time to make food well or be polite with customers, but this is a more enjoyable experience.”

“A co worker told me she was getting some wings from the Broad River location. The food was hot & the fries & fried wings were good but there was just one piece on chicken that wasn't done inside but I was already full so I didn't eat it. Do I think it was worth $13.19, No i don't think so but I was hungry & I was at work & couldn't get away. Other than that everything was fine”

But the place kind of reeks of funky sewer and it’s noticeable I almost didn’t order because im thinking if the place smells bad .. then how does the food taste? but its good lmaoo everyone said it was so I gave it a shot. Good thing I did! But I would just be prepared. and this isn’t the first time I went here— a few months ago I did but I walked out because it stunk so bad. And today I just decided to deal with it.”

“The atmosphere was inviting and relaxing, the reception was warm, and the waiting time was short. The food was excellent overall, though it could have used a bit more salt. However, the flavors of the rice were rich enough that I hardly noticed the lack of salt. The wings were juicy and well-spiced. Overall, it was a great choice for lunch.”

“I just moved to the area about a little over a month ago and Ive visited 3 times. Tonight I had an issue where the cooks did not make my food the way it was ordered and runged up, so they had to make my food 3 times for the same reason (the cook). Needless to say the manager was rude and does not display what leadership look like. Out of all 3 times of me going to this location, tonight was the only time I have received great customer service, the young guy Khamari J displayed exceptional customer service before my order during my order and even after the experience with my food being made wrong 3 times. Khamari was the only one who apologized about the situation. He showed sympathy while his manager stood in the back frowned up mad because the cooks kept getting the order wrong, so she took it out on the customer(Me). Khamari and the manager should switch places so he can show her what she should display to customers. With the mindset and demeanor he has I'm sure he'll go where ever he wants in life. The only reason Ive decided to give 4 stars is because of the customer service I received from Khamari and the food was okay.”
