About Cookout in Durham

The Durham area carries five Cook Out restaurants, at 1540 S. Miami Blvd, 4245 North Roxboro Street and three others. That accounts for five of the 144 across North Carolina. For anyone travelling, Chapel Hill is the closest other city with one, about 7 miles out.

The kitchen char grills to order, so burgers and hot dogs are cooked when you ask for them. Restaurants here follow the usual Cook Out layout: drive thru lanes, a walk up window and outdoor seating rather than an indoor dining room. Between them they average 4.1 out of 5 on Google. There is no separate late night menu, so the full board runs all day.

Dining at Cookout in Durham

A BLT Sandwich is $0.99 and a Club Style chicken sandwich $3.99. A tray from $2.99 covers a main, two sides and a large drink for less than the same food bought apart. Prices at Durham restaurants are set locally rather than nationally, so expect small differences of a few cents from the figures here. The full menu carries every item with its price and calorie count.

The Durham restaurants open at 10:30 AM and serve until 3:00 AM, with Friday and Saturday running to 4:00 AM. There is no breakfast service, so the full menu starts the moment the doors open. Order at the drive thru or the walk up window, or use the Cook Out app for pickup. Delivery runs through DoorDash, Uber Eats and Grubhub at most locations, priced above the in store board.

For a group, trays do most of the work. Each one already holds a main, two sides and a large drink, so ten trays is ten complete meals with nothing left to portion out. Cook Out runs no formal catering service, which means a large Durham order is arranged by calling the restaurant directly and giving it some notice.
