About Cookout in Gastonia

The Gastonia area carries two Cook Out restaurants, at 2113 S. Union Road and 2810 East Franklin Blvd.. That accounts for two of the 144 across North Carolina. For anyone travelling, Kings Mountain is the closest other city with one, about 10 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 3.8 out of 5 on Google. There is no separate late night menu, so the full board runs all day.

Dining at Cookout in Gastonia

The BBQ Sandwich costs $2.69 and the BBQ Plate $3.99, which is the largest single item on the board. Hushpuppies are $0.99 and a Cheerwine Float $1.39. Prices at Gastonia 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 doors here open at 10:30 AM, with the kitchen running to 2:00 AM and to 3:30 AM on Friday and Saturday. Cook Out serves no breakfast, so the full board is available from open. Drive thru and walk up ordering both work, the app handles pickup, and the delivery platforms cover most of Gastonia at a higher price than ordering in person.

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 Gastonia order is arranged by calling the restaurant directly and giving it some notice.
