Cookout Refreshing Floats

  • Coke Float: $1.79 and 399 calories.
  • Cheerwine Float: $1.79 and 401 calories. Cheerwine is a cherry soda from North Carolina.
  • Fanta Float and Root Beer Float: some fans still ask for them, but neither is on current Cook Out menus, so ask your store.

Both floats are also on the Cookout Tray drink list. Pair your float with food from our menu, or see every soda on our Drinks Menu.

Lowest and Highest Calorie Cookout Desserts

Cheesecake is the lightest dessert, and the floats are close behind. Milkshakes are much bigger, so even the lightest one has more calories than a float.

  • Cheerwine Float401 Cal
  • Fresh Banana Shake (lightest shake)538 Cal
  • Vanilla Shake555 Cal

Calories are from Cook Out’s official nutrition guide, except cheesecake, which is from the in-store menu board.

Desserts in a Cookout Tray

You don’t have to order dessert on its own. The Coke Float and Cheerwine Float are on the Cookout Tray drink list, so you can pick one as your drink. You can also swap the tray drink for a regular milkshake in any flavor.

On the Raleigh, NC menu board (October 2026), the milkshake swap costs $1.50 more. Prices vary by location.

Does Cook Out Sell Ice Cream Cones or Sundaes?

Cook Out’s soft serve goes into its floats and milkshakes. Cones, cups and sundaes are not on Cook Out’s menu boards or in its official nutrition guide, even though some websites list them. If you want plain ice cream, ask your store, or read more on our Cookout ice cream page.

Desserts Cook Out Does Not Sell

Many searches for “cookout desserts” are about backyard cookout and campfire desserts, and some websites list those recipes as if Cook Out sells them. They are not on Cook Out’s menu boards or in its official nutrition guide, so you won’t find them at the restaurant.

Not on the Cook Out menu

  • Grilled fruit skewers
  • S’mores dip
  • Grilled banana splits
  • Campfire cones
  • Fruit salad
  • Ice cream sandwiches
  • Peach cobbler foil packets
  • Grilled pound cake
  • Mini cheesecakes
  • Pineapple upside-down cake kabobs
  • Brownies
  • Cobblers and crisps
  • No-bake desserts

Two shake flavors that some websites list, Apple Pie and Strawberry Shortcake, are also not in Cook Out’s nutrition guide or on its flavor list. For a fruity pie-style shake, try the Peach Cobbler or Cherry Cheesecake.

Dairy and Gluten in Cookout Desserts

Every Cookout dessert contains dairy, because floats, shakes and cheesecake are all made with soft serve or cream cheese. There is no dairy-free dessert on the menu.

Cook Out does not publish allergen information. Shakes made with cookies, wafers, malt, cobbler or cheesecake contain wheat or barley by their nature, and one blending spout is used for every shake. See our Allergens Menu before you order.
