Cookout Cheesecake Price and Calories

The $1.99 prices are from the online order page for Cook Out’s Orangeburg, SC store (run on DoorDash) (October 2026). The $2.59 price is from the undated Cook Out store menu listing for its Cookeville, TN store. Calories are from Cook Out’s menu board, which lists 360 for the slice with your choice of topping. Cook Out doesn’t publish separate topping calories. Prices vary by location.

Cook Out’s nutrition guide doesn’t include the cheesecake slice, so the menu board’s 360 calories is the only official number.

What Is Cookout Cheesecake?

Cookout cheesecake is a single slice of New York-style cheesecake. New York-style cheesecake is the dense, rich kind made mostly with cream cheese, usually on a graham cracker crust, and it became famous in New York diners in the early 1900s.

• Texture: thick, smooth and creamy, not light or fluffy.
• Taste: rich and slightly tangy from the cream cheese, so a sweet fruit or chocolate topping balances it well.
• Ingredients: Cook Out doesn’t publish its recipe, but New York-style cheesecake is typically cream cheese, sugar, eggs and a graham cracker crust.

At 360 calories, a slice is the lightest dessert on the Cookout menu, lighter than the floats (399 and 401) and every milkshake. Based on the 2,000-calorie day Cook Out’s menu uses, one slice is about 18 percent of your daily calories.

Cookout Cheesecake Milkshakes

Want your cheesecake in a cup? Cook Out’s Cheesecake shake blends cheesecake into a thick shake, and the menu board lets you pick blueberry, caramel, cherry, chocolate chip or strawberry. Two more cheesecake shakes are in Cook Out’s nutrition guide.

Calories are from Cook Out’s official nutrition guide. Prices run from the online order page for Cook Out’s Orangeburg, SC store (run on DoorDash) to the Raleigh, NC menu board (October 2026). See all 40+ flavors on our milkshake menu.

How to Order Cookout Cheesecake

• Ask what toppings your store has today, since the list varies by store.
• Say it simply: “Can I get a cheesecake with strawberry topping?”
• Want plain? Just ask for “plain cheesecake.” It is still 360 calories.
• Want two toppings? Some stores may do half and half, but it is not on the menu, so ask nicely.
• Cheesecake is not a tray side, so add it to your order on its own.

Craving it late? Most stores stay open until 3 AM, or 4 AM on Friday and Saturday. Check your store on our Cookout Hours page.

DIY Cheesecake Toppings to Add at Home

Taking your slice home? These toppings are not sold at Cook Out, but they are easy to add yourself and turn a simple slice into a party dessert.

Classic Fruit Toppings

Fresh fruit never gets old. Strawberry sauce, blueberry compote, or a mixed berry medley of strawberries, raspberries and blackberries adds a light, tart contrast to the creamy cake.

Indulgent Dessert Toppings

For chocolate lovers, try a thick chocolate ganache, a buttery caramel drizzle, or a peanut butter swirl with a little honey.

Nutty and Crunchy Toppings

Add crunch with toasted pecans and a touch of maple syrup, crushed Oreo cookies, or lightly toasted almond slivers.

Fresh and Fruity Toppings

For a tropical twist, try pineapple chunks, kiwi slices, or a sweet mango salsa with a squeeze of lime.

Specialty Toppings

Want something fun? Try salted caramel with crushed pretzels, a s’mores mix of graham crackers, mini marshmallows and chocolate, or a light dusting of espresso powder.

Build Your Own

Can’t decide? Mix and match. Try berries with caramel, nuts with ganache, or Cook Out’s chocolate topping with crushed Oreos. Candy fans can add crushed Reese’s, Heath or Butterfinger at home, the same candies Cook Out blends into its shakes. The combinations are endless.

Cookout Cheesecake Allergens

Cheesecake is made with cream cheese and eggs, and New York-style cheesecake usually has a graham cracker crust made with wheat. Cook Out doesn’t publish its cheesecake ingredients or allergen details, so ask your store if you have a food allergy, and see our Cookout Allergen Menu.

• Milk: yes, from cream cheese.
• Egg: yes, in a typical New York-style cheesecake.
• Wheat: likely, from the crust.
• Peanuts and tree nuts: not in a plain slice, but Cook Out says peanuts are used in its stores.
