Pretty solid fast food option at the other locations I’ve had.

Absolutely elite fast food establishment. Hopefully they employ the right people at the new BR location.

Both my kids love it, I haven't tried it yet.

Cheap food with a lot of options.

It gets the job done in a pinch, but it's never a place where I crave it enough to go out of my way to get it. It's more of a place, where if I happen to be hungry while I pass by, I'll stop if the line isn't long.

I try to go every time I'm in Atlanta, not the best quality but great bang for your buck. Also the menu is huge.

It’ll be just like Jersey Mike’s. Corporate is going to send down a competent manager to oversee the opening for 2 months and it’ll be amazing, then as soon as they leave some 46 year old Shaniqua is going to take over and hire all of her cousins and it’ll be closed next time corporate goes down for QC.

Pretty much every fast food chain that isn’t a McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Popeyes’s, or Burger King in BR has met the same fate

As white people, do we have to wait until we’re invited to the cookout?

From someone who was born and raised in BR but moved away 14Y ago.. im amazed at all of the restaurants when I came home to visit.

How do all these places stay in business

It's cheap & open very late. That's about it.

We have a couple in the Augusta area, they're fairly decent. Certainly an upgrade over something like McDonald's, that's for sure. Like the poster above said it is a pretty good bang for the buck, their prices for what you get is pretty reasonable

Heard zactly same about:

In/Out burger (meh!)
Whataburger (meh!)

Society really needs this “buddy” to get out more.

Agreed. If Costco's food court was a standalone restaurant with an expanded menu, it would be Cook Out. Cheap, great options but not the highest quality food.

I used to love Backyard Burgers. Too bad they're gone.

I’ll fight you like a Spartan over this one. Whataburger breakfast is the GOAT.

Man this was the go to place when stoned and in college. When I’d go visit my friends who went to school in Jackson, we’d get high af and smash their food and shakes. You could always get a lot of food for cheap. Great place for college kids tbh.

They have the best burgers.

Shakes are pretty damn good, also.

TBH, never had the breakfast. Will now give it a go and plead forgiveness to all “buddies” who swear by it.

If I agree with the Spartan.
