Which style should you order first?

Cook Out Style is the signature and the one to try first: the chili and slaw combination is what the chain is known for, and the same style comes on a hot dog. For a richer burger, Cheddar Style is the favorite. Steak Style adds the fewest calories of the four.

Prices for each burger and style are on the Cookout burgers menu.
