About Cookout in South Carolina

South Carolina sits directly south of where Cook Out started, and the 51 restaurants here follow the state's two main axes. I-85 through the Upstate covers Greenville, Spartanburg and Anderson, while I-26 runs from Columbia down toward Charleston and North Charleston. Rock Hill and Fort Mill on the Charlotte border effectively function as part of the Charlotte cluster.

The coast changes the pattern. Myrtle Beach carries 3 restaurants and Conway another 2, which is heavy for cities that size, and it reflects a tourist season where late night demand runs well past what a normal town supports. University of South Carolina in Columbia and Clemson in the Upstate account for much of the rest, and the 37 cities with a Cook Out cover most of the populated parts of the state.

Dining at Cookout in South Carolina

Prices match the rest of the chain. A tray starts at $2.99, a Plain Hamburger runs $1.19, hot dogs go from $0.99 and chicken nuggets sit at $0.99. The BBQ Plate at $3.99 is the largest single item on the board, and hushpuppies at $0.99 suit a state that already eats them with everything. Milkshakes start at $2.79 across all 36 flavors.

Several South Carolina restaurants run later than the chain norm. Columbia locations have been recorded closing at 4 AM on weekdays and 5 AM on Friday and Saturday, which is at the extreme end even for Cook Out. Doors open at a consistent 10:30 AM and the full menu runs the whole way through. Every city page here carries the seven day schedule for its own restaurants rather than a chain average.

For groups, trays travel better than most fast food. Each one is a self contained meal with a main, two sides and a drink, so a stack of them feeds a team or a beach house without any assembly. Cook Out has no formal catering arm, so large orders go through the restaurant directly, and the phone number for each of the 51 South Carolina locations is on its city page.
