Cookout Oreo Milkshake: Price, Calories, Taste & Reviews

Standing at the Cook Out window, the Oreo shake is the pick that feels safe and still counts as a treat. The Cookout Oreo milkshake is a 33 oz ice cream shake blended with cookie pieces. It has 802 calories, typically costs $3.99, and splits reviewers on one question: are there enough cookies?

Cookout Oreo Milkshake at a Glance

Where does the Oreo shake rank?

Near the top in some rankings and the middle in others, which says more about the reviewers than the shake. Four independent lists put it anywhere from 2nd to 18th.

Both food-site rankings reward it for a simple reason. Mashed praised the sweetness and creaminess, and The Daily Meal called the cookie amount right as served. The student test is the cold shower: the Talon's reporters spent over $150 trying every shake and placed Oreo behind Peach Cobbler, Mocha and Oreo Mint.

Are there enough Oreos in the Oreo shake?

That is the argument. The Daily Meal found a mix of fine crumbs and larger bites, with a few bigger pieces collecting at the bottom, and said Cook Out is generous enough that doubling the cookies is optional. Mashed saw it differently and noted the cookie bits are not abundant.

The reviewer behind cookoutmilkshakereviews.com split the difference. Their notes say the flecks slurp up easily through a straw, while the bigger chunks get stuck in transfer. Their overall verdict: you get what you expect, and it is great. The practical answer is that the cookie count varies, so the extra-Oreos request is the safe move when you want them.

Why do people say it needs a spoon?

Because the cookie pieces do not melt. Tasting Table reported in November 2025 that Cook Out shakes run 30 to 34 oz, use real ice cream and whole milk, and are blended in the store to order. Reddit users quoted in that piece compare the texture to concrete, and some wait 15 to 20 minutes before a straw works.

1. Ask for a spoon along with the straw when you order.
2. Spoon the top layer first while it is at its thickest.
3. Give the cup a few minutes, then switch to the straw once the edges soften.
4. Finish with the spoon for the cookie pieces left at the bottom.

How many calories are in the Cookout Oreo milkshake?

802 calories in the 33 oz size, according to Cook Out's official nutrition guide. That is 10th highest of the 44 flavors in the guide, where the middle flavor sits at 689 calories. The cookies add about 247 calories over a plain Vanilla shake, which has 555.

The sodium stands out. A shake is not usually the salty part of a meal, but the cookies push this one about 200 mg above the typical flavor. That fits the one pairing tip from the dedicated reviewer, who suggests onion rings. The lightest tray on the menu is about 500 calories, so the Oreo shake alone has roughly 300 more than that entire tray. Plug combinations into our calories calculator or see the nutrition guide.

Oreo vs Oreo Mint: which one should you order?

Plain Oreo for the straightforward cookies-and-cream shake, Oreo Mint if you like mint chocolate. Mint adds 51 calories and 13 grams of carbs and changes nothing else on the label. Reviewers favor the mint: it ranked above plain Oreo on Mashed, in the Talon's test and in the fan site's scoring. Our Oreo Mint page has the full case.

Is the Cookout Oreo milkshake gluten-free or allergen-safe?

No to gluten-free. Oreo cookies are made with wheat and soy, according to Mondelez's foodservice allergen listings for the cookie, so a shake blended with them is not safe for celiac disease or a wheat allergy. The shake also contains milk, which our allergen chart lists with a reminder to ask about mix-ins. It is not vegan. Our vegan and vegetarian guide covers what is.

Should you order the Cookout Oreo milkshake?

Yes, if you want a dependable dessert shake and can spare 802 calories. It is the shake the community builds on, it holds real cookie in every cup and it never lands near the bottom of any list. Skip it for a gluten-free order or something lighter: Vanilla, Peach and Fresh Banana stay between 538 and 555 calories.
