i agree with BUCK.

i have a cookout near here like you ncsu students do, and i NEVER go to that fucker. ever. not even for milkshakes, cause i have a steak & shake too which is better for shakes in my opinion (never had the food)

theres no zaxbys here but theres one in fuquay that i used to eat at, and its SO GOOD. the little spices and the little bread thing, and the tasty chicken.


beats the fuck out of whatever those sweaty people are doing in that nasty little trailer they call cookout.

I wish I had a steak-n-shake closer to where I live. their steakburgers and chili mac were pretty good in Florida. their milkshakes are also much better than cookout.

3/1/2008 10:19:12 AM

steakburger and chili mac, that sounds like a good weekend meal actually. where i'll be comfortably at home in case it creeps back up on me

are the steakburgers like jersey mikes type steak sandwiches, or is it like a patty made from ground sirloin (god i hope not chucksteak)

this thread made me want one of those awesome $3.25 milkshakes from there already. so i'd imagine with food, i'm gonna spend, what, 15 bucks?

3/1/2008 10:22:39 AM

wtf how is this even a competition, Cookout wins ALWAYS.

cooking >>>>> zaxby's

zaxby's is gross

3/1/2008 3:41:21 PM

if cookout didn't have shakes and zaxby's were cheaper it'd be no competition. but, they both are necessary to fulfill all of my culinary needs

3/1/2008 3:45:35 PM

i might go to zaxbys for dinner tonight

3/1/2008 3:47:25 PM

i prefer zaxby's, but gotta admit i still love cookout. only thing ive noticed is i've been to at least 3 cookouts other than the one near campus (2 in charlotte, 1 in huntersville), and the one in raleigh is superior in terms of quantity. nobody else crams that tray full of sides like the one in raleigh.

i must say, i do miss it.

3/1/2008 4:32:53 PM

Zaxby's fails hard.

3/1/2008 5:11:33 PM

When I worked at PackBackers when it moved across from University Towers I got tired of Zaxby's after the second time. It is def worth puking!

3/1/2008 5:40:17 PM

puking spicy food ftl

done it plenty of times tho

cookout shakes come back up just fine

3/1/2008 5:58:38 PM

oh bullshit, puking? what in the world were you eating

their texas toast is ftw and I've never had better tasting chicken fingers anywhere

top that off with the Zax sauce, and there's little contest

Cookout, while good, is not that good.

It does have much more variety, and the shakes are not bad, but having eaten at both many times, when I am really really hungry I think I'd go for a large chicken fingers meal at Zaxbys any day

3/1/2008 6:00:06 PM

believe it or not I cannot handle the grease at Zaxby's like I can handle the grease at cookout. That is why the puking comes. I don't like the taste of any of wings-had them all bc when they first came to State we all order every different kind of wing/leg. The chicken fingers are too dry and the salads were too watery. I like Zaxby's sweet tea, texas toast, and celery/ranch dip side.

[Edited on March 1, 2008 at 6:13 PM. Reason : quite honestyly I do not eat a whole lot of cookout either, I would just choose cookout over Zaxby's]

3/1/2008 6:12:09 PM

what this really comes down to

is texas toast v. milkshakes

3/1/2008 6:17:28 PM

ok went to zaxbys for dinner for the first time in a while...fuck them. they charge too god damn much for how little they gave me

[Edited on March 1, 2008 at 6:42 PM. Reason : o]

3/1/2008 6:42:38 PM

Cookout

no contest

3/1/2008 6:50:45 PM

Cookout's fries suck. they are usually soggy. That is their Achilles heel.

3/1/2008 7:00:13 PM

Looks like Cookout wins


LunaK owes me a sammich.

3/2/2008 9:10:56 AM

Cook out!

3/2/2008 1:52:34 PM

mmmmm why not get both?



Oh and don't forget 5 Guys. That place is awesome

3/2/2008 2:03:10 PM

^ yeah, Five Guys rules. I love their bacon cheeseburgers-- perfect ratio of meat, bun, cheese. The fries are awesome as well.

3/2/2008 2:16:22 PM

I went to one of the original 5 Guys in NoVa and I simply wasn't impressed. Maybe I was there on a bad day but Cookout > Bojangles ~ Zaxbys > 5 Guys.

3/3/2008 9:26:20 AM

whoa whoa whoa

now you're going a bit far

3/3/2008 10:10:36 AM

zaxby's by far but they both suck balls

3/3/2008 10:11:57 AM

zaxby's by far.

cookout has tiny, nasty ass burnt hamburgers and shit fries.

Zaxby's for Chicken Tenders, Cookout for everything else.

3/3/2008 10:20:10 AM

cookout is far and away the winner

this isnt even debatable


the 5 guys up here blow the north hills joint out of the water

they're not even close



[Edited on March 3, 2008 at 10:37 AM. Reason : .]

3/3/2008 10:34:03 AM

zaxby's isn't even in the picture, cookout wins by a lot

3/3/2008 10:49:41 AM

my fast food dining experiences include the following (% of the time i visit them when i eat fast food)

bojangles- 25%
cookout  - 25%
hardeez  - 20%
wendyz   - 12.5%
bgrking  - 12.5%
others including zaxbys =-5%

3/3/2008 11:18:38 AM

i don't eat at either often. but i like the 99 cent BLTs (no mayo) from cookout

3/3/2008 11:59:26 AM

i have never eaten at Zaxbys

my fav at zaxbys is buffalo chicken salad but without blue cheese dressing. that is just a blue cheese overload.

3/3/2008 12:12:08 PM

i still think zaxby's is better....but whatever

3/7/2008 9:07:02 PM

CHIPOTLE!

3/7/2008 9:07:28 PM

lemmetellyouwat

i would totally get a kickin chicken sandwich tray with hush puppies and fries right now. omfg.

3/7/2008 10:58:04 PM

i ate at cookout the other day for lunch and it was fucking gross. i've come to realized that i only enjoy it when i'm fucked up.

zaxby's is good always. i got a Zalad today, shit was good as hell.. Wings and Things Large is also great when youre really hungry

The fact that people are so willing to express their love for Cookout makes it that much easier to realize who those people are that I hate.

The only thing Cookout is remotely good for is post-2-am-I'm-so-shitfaced-I'd-have-sex-with-a-stop-sign greasy fries.

3/8/2008 3:54:34 AM

as was said before...



chicken = zaxbys by a mile

everything else = cookout

Zaxby's - the toast alone is enough to win this battle.

Zaxby's

3/8/2008 11:22:42 AM

I caved and had zaxby's yesterday.


My vote for Zax's is re-affirmed.

3/14/2008 3:29:08 PM

Day late and a dolla short X-tine. Kelly already owes me cookout

I'm never either of the above.
