How prices are checked
Every price on this site is a reported local example — a figure seen on an actual restaurant board at a particular place and time. Prices are checked against menu boards in named locations, and the page says which board and date each figure comes from. Cook Out locations set their own prices, so this site never presents one fixed number as a live national price list. Before you order, the board and staff at the restaurant you visit are the final word on what you will pay.
How nutrition is checked
Nutrition values are shown only where the restaurant has published them for a standard preparation. The figures are compared against the restaurant's published nutrition guide before they are listed. Where a value has not been published, the field stays blank — it is never estimated, rounded into existence, or borrowed from a different item. A blank field means the information has not been established, not that the value is zero.
What this site never publishes
This site does not present invented author credentials, customer reviews, or first-hand taste tests as evidence. It does not claim restaurant visits, tastings, or insider access that have not taken place. Prices are never presented as live checkout totals, and allergen-free labels are never assigned without reliable restaurant information. Anything that cannot be confirmed is labeled as unconfirmed, plainly, on the page itself.
Corrections
Menu information goes out of date — prices change, items come and go, and nutrition figures get revised. Reader reports are the fastest way this site learns about those changes. To report a correction, use the contact page and include the page you were reading, what is wrong, and — for prices — the restaurant location and the date you visited. Each report is compared against the published page. If the correction holds up, the page is updated and its date is bumped. If the report conflicts with other information, the page keeps the more reliable figure and the uncertainty stays labeled as it is. You do not need an account, and writing in does not sign you up for anything.
Who runs this site
Cook Out Menu Price is run by one person, not an editorial team, and has no affiliation with the restaurant company. Pages are compiled from the restaurant's publicly listed menu — the same boards and listings any customer can see — and checked against reader corrections over time. Every message sent through the contact page is read by the person who maintains the site.
How the site stays independent
This site has no business relationship with Cook Out — no partnership, no sponsorship, and no access to internal company information. It earns its keep from advertising shown to readers, not from the restaurant, so there is no paid placement: no menu item is boosted, hidden, or reworded because someone paid for it. Coverage decisions are editorial — pages exist because readers look for them, and the wording stays neutral whether an item is popular or not.
How pages are reviewed
Every guide page carries a visible last-updated date, and the same date is recorded in the page's structured data. When a board changes or a correction is confirmed, the page is updated and the date moves with it. Older figures are not silently refreshed: if a price still rests on an earlier board, the page says so, with the board and date named.
