Cook Out – Knightdale

Cook Out in Knightdale is a location of the North Carolina fast-food chain, out on North Smithfield Road. The draw is the tray: a main, a couple of sides and a drink for one low price.

Burgers come off a char grill, and there is barbecue, hot dogs and chicken besides. The milkshake list runs past forty flavors, which is the real reason a lot of people pull in. The chain sells itself on flavor and value, and it stands behind both. Flavors get mashed together on request, so two shakes can become one.
