How do Cook Out burger sizes and styles work?
Choose the burger size first, then its toppings. Small, Regular, Big Double and Huge are base choices; Cook Out, Out West, Steak and Cheddar are topping styles. A style adds to the base price and nutrition. Regional styles may not be available at every branch.
Compare burger-style additions
| Style | Main additions | Extra calories | Example upcharge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cook Out | Chili, slaw, mustard, onion | 123 | +$0.99 |
| Out West | BBQ sauce, bacon, mayo, pickles, onion | 202 | +$0.99 |
| Steak | A1, grilled onions, lettuce, tomato, mayo | 91 | +$0.49–$0.59 |
| Cheddar | Cheddar, bacon, grilled onions, mayo | 233 | +$0.99 |
Choose a burger size first. The values in this table are additions, so the base burger is still part of both the price and calorie total.
Burger sizes explained
Small and Regular are single-burger size choices, while the Big Double has two patties. Huge is the larger half-pound size listed in the nutrition information. The weight in a burger name describes the uncooked meat size; it is different from the finished serving weight shown in a nutrition table.
What comes on a Cook Out Style burger?
Cook Out Style adds chili, slaw, mustard and onion. Out West uses barbecue sauce, bacon, mayonnaise, pickles and onion. Steak Style combines A1 sauce with grilled onions, lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise. Cheddar Style adds cheddar cheese, bacon, grilled onions and mayonnaise. These are additions to your selected burger, not separate patty sizes.
Calculate your customized burger
A Regular hamburger is listed at 328 calories. Adding Cook Out Style adds 123, making 451 calories before any other changes. Cheddar Style adds 233, bringing that same base burger to 561 calories. Extra cheese, bacon or sauce can raise the total again. Use the base and addition entries together; do not count a whole dressed burger twice.
Buns, sauces and allergens
A beef patty does not describe the allergen profile of the finished sandwich. Ask about the bun, cheese, mayonnaise, style sauces and grill handling. Removing a bun or a slice of cheese does not establish that the order is free of an allergen.
Order a burger in three parts
Start with the size, name the style, and then mention any further changes. For example, “Regular burger, Cook Out Style, add cheese” describes a base burger, a topping combination and an extra. Asking only for a “Cook Out burger” can leave the size or style unclear. If you want a Tray, state that before choosing the sides and drink.
Big Double versus Regular: compare the actual entry
Two patties describe the Big Double’s format, but do not tell you its final calories or the price of a dressed order. Compare each named entry instead of multiplying the Regular burger by two. Patty count, raw meat weight and finished sandwich weight describe different things. The table keeps base items separate from style additions to make that distinction visible.
Frequently asked questions
How much is a Cook Out burger?
Reported local examples put Small burgers at $2.99–$3.49 and Regular or Big Double burgers at $3.99–$4.39 before paid styles, extras and tax.
Does Cook Out Style include cheese?
The named style lists chili, slaw, mustard and onion. Ask for cheese separately and confirm any extra charge.
Which burger styles cost extra?
Two named styles carry a reported surcharge. Cook Out Style — chili, slaw, mustard and onion added to your chosen burger — is listed at +$0.99 and +123 calories. Steak Style — A1 sauce, grilled onions, lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise — is listed at +$0.49–$0.59 and +91 calories. Cheese is separate from Cook Out Style, so ask for it by name and confirm the charge. Reported examples vary by restaurant, so check the board before you order.
What is the difference between a Regular burger and a Big Double?
The Big Double is the larger two-patty build, while the Regular is the standard single-patty burger. Reported local examples place both in the $3.99–$4.39 range before styles, extras and tax, so the menu prices them close together and the choice comes down to appetite. The Small hamburger sits below both at $2.99–$3.49 in reported examples. If you are unsure how filling each is, the Trays page explains how mains compare once sides and a drink are included.
Can I order a burger as part of a Tray?
Yes. Burgers are standard Tray mains — the Regular main list includes the Big Double Burger and the Regular Burger, and the Jr. main list includes the Small Burger. A Tray bundles one eligible main with two sides and a drink, which is why many people order burgers that way instead of standalone. Say the Tray size first, then the burger and style, then both sides and the drink. See the Trays page for the full main lists and how the bundle compares.
What comes on a Steak Style burger?
Steak Style means A1 sauce, grilled onions, lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise on your chosen burger. It is a paid style: reported examples add $0.49–$0.59 and 91 calories to the base burger. Like the other named styles, it goes on whichever burger size you pick, so a Steak Style Small costs less at the base than a Steak Style Big Double. Confirm the surcharge on the board, since reported examples vary by location.
What is the smallest burger at Cook Out?
The Small hamburger is the smallest standalone burger on the menu, with reported local examples at $2.99–$3.49 before extras and tax. It also appears as a Jr. Tray main, paired with two sides and a drink. If a Regular feels like too much, the Small is the lighter order — and the Jr. Tray is worth a look when you want sides with it. Check the board at your restaurant, since sizes and prices are reported examples, not chain-wide promises.
