Cook Out sells four loaded fries, and the board prices them in an order that does not match their calories. The $1.99 Chili Cheese Fries and the $2.99 Chili Fries are both listed at 460 calories, while the $3.39 Jalapeno Cheese Fries are listed at 440, fewer than either. The numbers come from the menu board, not the official nutrition PDF, which instead lists one loaded item, Cook Out Fries, at 465 calories.

The asterisk on the Chili Cheese Fries marks a price that looks out of line, since chili plus cheese should cost more than chili alone. Treat the $1.99 as a store-specific figure and ask at the window. The board lists the same 460 calories for Chili Fries and Chili Cheese Fries.

What does the official guide add?

The nutrition PDF lists Cook Out Fries at 465 calories, 21 grams of fat, 49 grams of carbs, 7 grams of protein, 11 mg of cholesterol and 1,335 mg of sodium. That is 118 calories and 648 mg of sodium above Regular Fries, and it is the only fries row in the PDF that has any cholesterol. The guide does not describe the topping.

What have diners said about the loaded fries?

Not much on the fries themselves. A YouTube reviewer ordered the chili cheese fries with a cheeseburger enchilada and judged the appetizers fair for the price, and a TikTok creator built a loaded Cajun, chili and nacho cheese fries order, topping it with bacon and chicken nuggets. The side of chili adds 164 calories on its own; see the chili guide.

Which loaded fries should you order?

The Cheese Fries if you want the lightest build, at 390 calories, and the Chili Fries if you want the full chili build at 460. A Small burger and a loaded side come to 635 to 705 calories. See the fries guide and the Cajun Fries guide.
