Cook Out Menu 2026: Tray Prices, Milkshakes and Calories
Cook Out is a drive-thru chain that serves char-grilled burgers, chicken, chopped pork barbeque, hot dogs and quesadillas, plus a long list of hand-spun milkshakes. Its signature order is the Tray: one main, two sides (or a double portion of one side), and a drink, which you can swap for a milkshake. Calories come from Cook Out's own menu board and nutrition guide. The Tray prices come from the menu board at one named restaurant in Jacksonville, Florida, as reported on May 28, 2026. Cook Out prices vary by restaurant, so treat them as a reference point.

About these prices
Cook Out doesn't publish a price list on its website. Our reference restaurant is Cook Out, 14016 Beach Blvd, Jacksonville, FL 32250, whose menu board was reported by the Jacksonville Daily Record on May 28, 2026: Tray $8.99, child-size Tray (Jr. Tray) $7.99, and +$1.50 to swap the Tray drink for a regular shake. Every other item is marked “Price unavailable” rather than guessed. Read our menu data methodology.
Cook Out Tray Menu
A Cook Out Tray is one main, two sides, and one drink. Cook Out's official board lays it out in three steps: choose 1 main from the Jr. Tray list or the Tray list, plus choose 2 sides or double up, plus choose a beverage (or sub a regular shake for the drink).
At the Jacksonville reference restaurant, the Tray was $8.99 and the Jr. Tray was $7.99. Swapping the drink for a regular shake added $1.50. The board shows no surcharge for any main, and we could not confirm whether that store charges more for certain mains or styles.
Regular Tray mains ($8.99*)
| Main | Calories |
|---|---|
| Big Double Burger | 330 |
| Regular 1/4 lb Burger | 330 |
| Regular Barbeque | 370 |
| 2 Hot Dogs | 520 |
| 2 Quesadillas (chicken or beef) | 440 / 520 |
| Regular Chicken | 380 |
| Cajun Chicken | 380 |
| Spicy Chicken | 450 |
| BBQ Char-Grilled Chicken | 380 |
| Chicken Strips (3) or Strip Sandwich | 660 |
Jr. Tray mains ($7.99*)
| Main | Calories |
|---|---|
| Small Burger | 240 |
| 2 Chicken Strips | 440 |
| 2 Corn Dogs | 440 |
| BLT Sandwich | 400 |
| 1 Hot Dog | 260 |
| 1 Quesadilla (chicken or beef) | 220 / 260 |
The Jr. Tray swaps in smaller mains and adds two choices not on the Tray list: 2 Corn Dogs and the BLT. Cook Out's board doesn't say the Jr. Tray is only for children.
*Reference prices from 14016 Beach Blvd, Jacksonville, FL, reported May 28, 2026. On Cook Out's website, both tray lists lead into the same “choose 2 sides” step, but the news report says that store's child-size tray comes with one side. Ask your restaurant how many sides its Jr. Tray includes.
Cook Out Tray Side and Drink Choices
Cook Out's board lists 10 Tray sides. Choose two, or “double up” and get two of the same side. Tray portions are smaller than full orders: hushpuppies are 300 calories as a Tray side and 590 as a full order, and onion rings are 130 versus 260.
Tray sides
| Side | Calories |
|---|---|
| Fries | 350 |
| Hushpuppies | 300 |
| Onion Rings | 130 |
| White Cheddar Cheese Bites | 190 |
| Chicken Nuggets | 150 |
| Corn Dog | 220 |
| Quesadilla (chicken or beef) | 220 / 260 |
| Chicken Wrap (Ranch, Cajun or Honey Mustard) | 500 to 520 |
| Bacon Wrap | 420 |
| Slaw or Chili | 100 to 170 |
Tray drinks
| Drink | Calories |
|---|---|
| Large drink | 0 to 290 |
| Huge Tea | 390 |
| Dasani 20 oz bottled water | 0 |
| Cheerwine Float or Coke Float | 380 |
| Or sub a regular shake (no drink) | 510 to 900 |
Cook Out Burgers and Burger Styles
Burgers are char-grilled and come in four sizes: Small (1/8 lb, 240 calories), Regular (1/4 lb, 330), Big Double (330) and Huge (1/2 lb, 520). Choose your toppings from mayo, mustard, ketchup, pickles, onion and lettuce; grilled onions or Cajun seasoning are available on request. Extras add calories: tomato 10, bacon 60, cheese 70, homemade chili 70 and homemade slaw 40.
A style is a set of toppings. Cook Out Style means homemade chili, slaw, mustard and onion, the same toppings as the Cook Out Style Hot Dog.
| Style | Toppings | Adds (cal) |
|---|---|---|
| Cook Out Style | Homemade chili, slaw, mustard, onion | +130 |
| Cheddar Style | Cheddar cheese, bacon, grilled onions, mayo | +240 |
| Out West Style | BBQ sauce, bacon, mayo, pickles, onion | +210 |
| Steak Style | A1 sauce, grilled onions, lettuce, tomato, mayo | +100 |
Patty weights come from Cook Out's nutrition guide, which doesn't state the Big Double's patty size. Style upcharges could not be verified.
Cook Out Milkshake Menu
Cook Out calls its shakes Fancy Milkshakes and lists them at 510 to 900 calories. The current board shows 37 year-round flavor names, or 41 if each of the five Cheesecake versions counts separately. Groupings below are ours; flavor names are Cook Out's.
| Group | Flavors |
|---|---|
| Classic and coffee | Vanilla, Hershey's Chocolate, Chocolate (double), Strawberry, Chocolate Malt, Caramel, Caramel Fudge, Cappuccino, Mocha |

Seasonal milkshakes
Cook Out's board lists two: Fresh Watermelon (July to August) and Fresh Eggnog (December). As of October 3, 2026, neither is in season under those stated months. Cook Out doesn't publish exact dates. Pumpkin and Peppermint shakes, listed on some menu sites, are not on Cook Out's current board.
Can you mix Cook Out milkshake flavors?
Cook Out doesn't publish a policy on combining flavors. The board already includes several combinations, such as Banana Berry and Peanut Butter Banana. Whether a restaurant will blend an off-menu mix is up to that store, so ask when you order.
Milkshake prices and calories
A stand-alone shake price could not be verified; swapping a Tray drink for a regular shake added $1.50 at the Jacksonville reference restaurant. Calories below are from Cook Out's nutrition guide, which lists shakes without a cup size.
| Flavor | Calories |
|---|---|
| Fresh Banana | 538 |
| Peach | 547 |
| Vanilla | 555 |
| Caramel | 560 |
| Strawberry | 610 |
| Hershey's Chocolate | 620 |

| Peach Cobbler | 790 |
| Oreo | 802 |
| Fresh Peanut Butter | 847 |
| Reese's Cup | 894 |
| Cherry Cheesecake | 925 |
Cherry Cheesecake's 925 is slightly above the board's 900 ceiling. The guide has no figures for Butterfinger, Choc Chip Cherry, or four of the five Cheesecake versions. For frozen desserts in a different format, see our Baskin-Robbins menu.
Drinks, Floats and Cheerwine
Cook Out's board lists Fresh Brewed Tea (Large 290, Huge 390 calories), Coca-Cola fountain drinks, Cheerwine (Regular 150, Large 220), Dasani bottled water, and Coke and Cheerwine Floats made with vanilla soft serve (380 each). The board lists Cheerwine as a standard drink, but we couldn't confirm every restaurant pours it. The nutrition guide's fountain lineup also includes Diet Coke, Coca-Cola Zero, Sprite, Pibb Xtra, Mellow Yellow, Fanta Orange, Hi-C, Dr Pepper and Powerade, and lists unsweetened tea at 0 calories. Dessert is N.Y. style cheesecake with a choice of toppings (360 calories).

Cook Out Calories and Nutrition
Cook Out publishes calories on its menu board and fuller nutrition in a nutrition guide PDF, last modified July 16, 2025. Menu cards above use the board's calories. The table below uses the PDF throughout, so each row's calories, protein and sodium come from the same line.

| Strawberry shake | 610 | 15 | 455 |
Where the board and the PDF disagree. The Big Double is 330 calories on the board and 311 in the PDF; the BBQ Plate is 980 versus 976. The slaw-or-chili Tray side is 100 to 170 on the board, but the PDF lists a side of slaw at 405. The PDF's quesadilla rows (cheese 355, chicken 449, beef 514) are about double the board's per-quesadilla figures, so they appear to cover two.
Allergens. Cook Out doesn't publish an allergen chart, and its nutrition PDF has no allergen columns. Its menu board states: “Peanuts are used in this store and it is possible they may come in contact with your product.” Cook Out doesn't label any item gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free or vegan. If you have a food allergy, ask the restaurant before ordering, or call Cook Out customer service at 1-866-547-0011.
Vegetarian options. Cook Out doesn't label any item vegetarian or publish ingredient or fryer information. Items with no meat in their names or listed toppings include the Cheese Quesadilla, fries, hushpuppies, onion rings, cheese bites, shakes, floats and cheesecake. Ask your restaurant if this matters to you.

Menu prices
Prices on this page come from one Cook Out restaurant, 14016 Beach Blvd in Jacksonville, Florida, as reported from its menu board on May 28, 2026, before the store opened. Only the Tray ($8.99), the child-size Tray ($7.99) and the shake swap on a Tray (+$1.50) were reported. Cook Out does not publish a national price list, and every other item is marked unavailable.
- • Prices differ by state, by individual restaurant, and often between dine-in, drive-thru, delivery, and app orders, so the numbers on this page are a reference, not a national average.
- • Every priced item on this page is marked either the exact date it was priced, or “unavailable” if we couldn't find a real number anywhere.
- • The fastest way to see today's accurate price near you: open the Cook Out app or order site, choose your restaurant, and the menu will price itself for that location.
- • We'd rather show a dated price with a clear caveat, or mark it unavailable, than publish a number we can't stand behind. See our data methodology for how we handle this across every restaurant on this site.
Why 48 items have no price
Cook Out publishes no price list on its website. The only prices we could tie to one named restaurant were the Tray, the child-size Tray and the shake swap on a Tray, from a dated news report of the menu board at 14016 Beach Blvd, Jacksonville, FL. Uber Eats storefronts for two North Carolina restaurants showed identical, out-of-date-looking prices (for example 12 hushpuppies for $0.99) with no Trays, so they were not used, and DoorDash storefronts returned a security check we won't attempt to bypass. Rather than publish national averages, other prices are marked unavailable.
How we verify our menu data
We start with Cook Out's own website, ordering system, and published nutrition documents. When those don't show prices, we use one named restaurant location's own listing on a delivery platform or its in-store menu board, and say so. Nothing is copied from other menu-listing sites. Every figure on this page is dated, and every source we checked is listed below, including the ones that didn't give us usable data.

Source for every item name, topping list, burger and chicken style, Tray main, Tray side, Tray beverage, shake flavor, seasonal shake month and menu-board calorie figure on this page. The menu is published as image files, and cookout.com returns a security page to direct automated requests, so we read the Internet Archive copies of those images captured July 17, 2026. Captures through September 8, 2026 show no change, and the live page still points to the same files. The board also carries the statement "Peanuts are used in this store and it is possible they may come in contact with your product."

Reports the restaurant's menu board before opening: a child-size tray at $7.99, an adult tray at $8.99, and a regular shake added to a tray for $1.50. We did not see the board ourselves. The report says the child tray has one side, while Cook Out's own website board shows both trays leading into the same "choose 2 sides or double up" step.
