After about 9 p.m. students’ options for food at a cheap price becomes very limited. Most places still open are priced higher, leaving students struggling to find somewhere to get a late night snack. Cookout has established themselves as a college student’s go-to late night restaurant because of their extended hours and affordable prices.

Located in Five Points off of Harden Street, it’s not quite close enough to walk to from campus but it is only a few-minute drive. Cookout is ideal for anyone looking to satisfy that late night (or early morning, however you choose to look at it) hunger for just a few dollars.

Menu options include homemade char-grilled hamburgers, char-grilled chicken breasts, corn dogs, quesadillas, milkshakes, hush puppies, barbeque and wraps. The best-selling “Cookout Trays” are just over $5 for a large portion of food. What makes the tray the best option is the option to customize based off of your cravings. No two Cookout trays would have to be the same after students get to choose from an entrée and two sides of any of their most popular menu items.
