Certain sides complement specific main dishes. These pairings balance flavor and texture.

• With Burgers: Regular fries or cheese fries add familiar crunch.
• With BBQ: Hushpuppies or coleslaw. Traditional Southern BBQ pairing.
• With Chicken: Cajun fries or onion rings provide different textures.

Understanding portion sizes helps you order the right amount. Cookout offers three portion types.

Side Order: Smaller portion designed for tray combos. Serves one person as part of a meal. Examples include 5 chicken nuggets or small portion of hushpuppies.

Full Order: Larger standalone portion. Works for sharing between two people or as a main item. Examples include 10 chicken nuggets or large portion of hushpuppies.

Large Fries: Bigger than regular fries. Contains double the amount. Good for sharing or very hungry customers.

Side orders work best when paired with a main dish. Full orders satisfy as standalone meals or shared appetizers.

Most customers order side portions with trays. Full orders cost more but provide better value if sides are your main focus.

• Order strategically to get the best value from Cookout sides.
• Choose a tray instead of ordering sides separately. Two sides included with a tray cost less than buying individually. Saves $2 to $3.
• Order full orders when sharing. One full order of hushpuppies feeds two to three people.
• Request fresh fries during slow periods. Takes extra minutes but guarantees hot fries.
• Double up on favorites. Reduces waste from trying unfamiliar sides.
• Order extra sauce cups at no charge. Most locations provide three cups per tray.

• Cookout occasionally offers seasonal sides during holidays. These appear for limited time periods.
• Watermelon slices appear during summer months. Fresh cut watermelon costs $0.99 per slice. Available June through August at most locations.

• Fried pickles are tested at certain locations. Not a standard menu item. Ask if your location participates in testing.
• Seasonal items rotate based on ingredient availability. Don’t expect the same specials every year. Standard menu items stay consistent.
