Freshly Made Burgers That Beat the Rest

Cookout Burgers vs Other Fast Food Chains

Here is how a Cookout quarter pound burger compares with similar burgers at other chains. Calories and protein come from each chain’s own website.

The other burgers come with cheese or sauces already on them, so the fairest match is the Cookout Regular with a cheese slice. Like Wendy’s, Whataburger and Culver’s, Cook Out says its beef is fresh and never frozen. Its motto is “Always Fresh, Never Frozen”.

We did not compare prices, because none of these chains publishes one national price. Prices change from store to store.
