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.
How to Order a Cookout Style
- Pick the base: a burger size (Small, Regular, Big Double or Huge) or a char-grilled chicken breast.
- Say the style name with it, for example a Regular Cheddar Style burger.
- Ask to add or remove toppings if you want a change. The styles are starting points, not fixed builds.
