Why do Cleveland's ratings split?
| Site | Rating | Reviews | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tripadvisor | 3.8 | 26 | 63rd of 160 restaurants |
| Restaurantji | 3.3 | 326 | Food 3.6, service 3.6, atmosphere 3.4 |

One Tripadvisor reviewer titled a review "Quick service, good cookout food". Yelp's 2.3 matches Hinesville's, the lowest in our guides. A visitor photographed a Cheerwine float on Tripadvisor, and the store's food score on Restaurantji, 3.6, is higher than its overall 3.3.
What does 9.75% mean for a tray?
Tennessee charges 7% and Bradley County adds 2.75%, the state's maximum local rate, with no city rate, according to Avalara and the Tennessee Department of Revenue. That is the same total as Nashville and Cookeville. The totals use typical Cook Out prices, since the store posts its own.
| Order | Menu price | With 9.75% tax |
|---|---|---|
| Regular Tray | $7.39 | $8.11 |
| Jr. Tray | $6.39 | $7.01 |
| Cheerwine float | $2.39 | $2.62 |
Our Nashville and Cookeville guides show the same tax in other counties, and the Cheerwine guide covers the float.
Is the Cleveland Cook Out worth ordering from?
For the food and the late hours, yes. Check the bag at the window, since the dining room is closed.
