Fed up with the same old dull desserts? The Cookout ice cream menu is the cure, but it doesn’t come the way most people expect. There are no scoops in a cone here. Instead, Cook Out turns its ice cream into famously thick milkshakes and old-fashioned floats.

Many websites, including an older version of this page, listed cones, scoops, sundaes and sorbets that Cook Out doesn’t sell. We checked Cook Out’s menu board, its nutrition guide and a store’s online order page, so below you will find only what you can really order, with real prices and calories.

Quick answer: The Cookout ice cream menu serves ice cream as milkshakes (40+ flavors, one size, $2.79 to $3.99, 538 to 925 calories) and as Coke or Cheerwine Floats with vanilla soft serve ($1.79, 399 to 401 calories). Cones, cups, scoops, sundaes and sorbets are not on the menu. The lightest pick is a Coke Float.

What ice cream you can get at Cookout: 40+ milkshakes for $2.79 to $3.99, Coke and Cheerwine Floats for $1.79, seasonal shakes, and no cones, scoops, sundaes or sorbet

Does Cookout Sell Ice Cream Cones, Cups or Sundaes?

No. Cook Out’s menu board lists milkshakes, floats and cheesecake as its desserts. It doesn’t list cones, cups of ice cream, scoops, sundaes, banana splits, sorbet, sherbet or ice cream sandwiches, and neither does a store’s online order page or Cook Out’s nutrition guide.

So where did those items come from? We traced them back to a fan website article from February 2025 that cited no source. Other websites repeated it, so the same made-up scoops and sundaes spread across search results. This page now shows Cook Out’s real menu instead.

Little Extras with Big Flavor to Add at Home

Taking your shake or float home? These extras aren’t sold at Cook Out, but they are easy to add yourself: whipped cream, chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, chopped nuts or rainbow sprinkles. A spoonful of whipped cream on a Cheerwine Float makes it feel like a real soda fountain treat.

Cookout Frozen Treat Menu with Floats

Floats are Cook Out’s simplest ice cream treat. The menu board calls the Coke Float “drug store style,” meaning soda poured over a scoop of vanilla soft serve, served with a spoon and a straw.

A float is also one of the drink choices in a Cookout Tray, so you can get ice cream with your meal.

How to Order Cookout Ice Cream

Mix two flavors

Many stores will blend two flavors in one shake, like Banana Pudding and Peanut Butter. Just ask nicely.

Get it with your meal

Pick a Coke or Cheerwine Float as your Cookout Tray drink, or swap the drink for a shake, which may cost extra.

Ask for a spoon

Shakes are thick enough to eat like ice cream, so grab a spoon if you want it like a cup of ice cream.

Go late

Most stores stay open until 3 AM, or 4 AM on Friday and Saturday, so late-night ice cream is easy.

Find a store near you on our Cookout Locations page and check times on our Cookout Hours page. Want fun combos? See our Cookout Secret Menu.

Cookout Ice Cream Allergens

Every Cookout shake and float contains milk, and Cook Out has no dairy-free or vegan ice cream. Cook Out doesn’t publish its shake ingredients, so ask your store if you have a food allergy, and see our Cookout Allergen Menu and Cookout Vegan Options.

  • Milk: yes, in every shake and float.
  • Wheat: likely in cookie, wafer, cobbler and cheesecake flavors, like Oreo, Nilla Wafers, Banana Pudding and Peach Cobbler.
  • Barley: likely in Chocolate Malt and Malted Milk, since malt is made from barley.
  • Peanuts and nuts: in Reese’s, Snickers, Peanut Butter, Walnut and nut flavors. Cook Out also says peanuts are used in its stores and may come in contact with your food.
