Fry Styles
Cook Out doesn’t just do one fry — it does a whole lineup. These are the fry styles commonly reported across locations, from the plain classic to fully loaded.
Images are illustrative.
Regular Fries
The classic straight-up fries — the default tray side and the benchmark everything else is judged against.
$2.39
Large Fries
The same classic fries in a bigger portion, for when one regular order won’t cut it.
$2.99
Cajun Fries
Fries tossed with Cajun-style seasoning — a zesty kick without going full loaded-fries.
$2.39–$2.99
Cheese Fries
Fries finished with melted cheese — the first step up from plain into comfort-food territory.
$2.89–$3.49
Chili Cheese Fries
Fries piled with chili and cheese — hearty enough to border on a meal of its own.
$2.99–$3.55
Jalapeno Cheese Fries
Cheese fries with jalapenos heat — the pick for spice fans who want it on their fries.
$3.39–$3.49
More Cookout Sides
Beyond fries, the Cook Out side board runs deep. These are the other sides most commonly reported by fans.
Onion Rings
Crispy, golden rings — the classic burger-joint side done the Cook Out way.
$2.69–$2.99
Hushpuppies
Southern-fried cornmeal bites with a crisp outside and soft center — a fan favorite.
$1.99
White Cheddar Cheese Bites
Bite-size fried cheese with a white cheddar center — dangerously easy to eat too fast.
$2.99–$3.39
Chicken Nuggets
Pop-able chicken bites — a simple, kid-friendly side that also works as a snack.
$1.99–$2.49
Corn Dog
The fair-food classic on a stick — battered, fried, and endlessly dippable.
$1.49–$1.99
Walking Taco
The Walking Taco is one of Cook Out’s most talked-about sides, and it’s exactly what it sounds like: a taco served in a bag. Chips are topped with chili and cheese, and you eat the whole thing straight out of the bag — no plate, no fork strategy required. It’s messy in the best way, and it’s become something of a cult item among regulars.
