Cook Out Coming to South Cobb Drive

Typical Cook Out exterior 

Growing burger chain lands another location. 

North Carolina-based Cook Out, which specializes in "Char-Grilled" hamburgers" and features over 40 different flavors of milkshakes, is coming to South Cobb Drive in Marietta.  Cook Out is also famous for its $4.99 combo meal which includes a sandwich, two sides and a drink. (The combo can be upgraded for a dollar to include a milkshake instead of a drink.)  

The "new" restaurant will open in place of a former Krystal restaurant near the intersection of South Cobb Drive and Pat Mell Road. The roughly 2,800 square foot freestanding restaurant will be renovated to suit Cook Out's needs.  

Cook Out is no stranger to renovating restaurants, especially around Georgia.  Since entering the Georgia market via a former Bojangles' in Statesboro in 2013, the burger chain has grown to nearly 30 locations, many in converted restaurants. 

In Atlanta, Morrow, Rome, Lithonia and Gainesville, Cook Out opened in former Mrs.Winner's locations. On Ponce de Leon Avenue in Atlanta, Cook Out occupies the former Zesto.  In Warner Robins, Cook Out opened in a former Checkers which was originally a Hardees.  In Tucker, Cook Out also opened in a restaurant building originally built as a Hardees.  In both Marietta and Augusta, Cook Out opened in former KFC restaurants, while in Savannah, they occupy a former Wendy's.

In addition to the South Cobb Drive location, Cook Out has locations coming soon to Scenic Highway in Snellville and Glenwood Avenue in Dalton.  The Scenic Highway restaurant is being built in place of a former bank and will share the parcel with a new Taco Bell.  The Dalton restaurant is being built in place of a former Shoney's restaurant.
