Cook Out – New Bern Ave.

Cook Out on New Bern Avenue is an east Raleigh branch of the North Carolina chain. The menu is built on char-grilled burgers, barbecue, hot dogs and chicken, and value is a large part of why people come.

The Cook Out Tray is the signature order, pairing a main with two sides and a drink. Milkshakes get a section of the board to themselves, with over forty flavors, and the huge tea is the standard way to wash it all down. Hushpuppies and fries fill out the sides, as they do at every branch of the chain.
