How Do I Reach the High Point Cook Outs From I-85, I-74 and I-40?
From the interstates, leave at an exit that connects to Main Street and drive into town. The South Main store is the quicker stop from the south side and I-85 Business; the North Main store suits trips from the north and I-40.
High Point does not have a Cook Out right at an interstate ramp, so expect a few miles of city driving. If you only need a quick stop on I-40 between Winston-Salem and Greensboro, the Kernersville store or the west Greensboro stores can be faster.
| Highway | Where it runs | Nearest Cook Out options |
|---|---|---|
| I-85 / I-85 Business (US-29/70) | South of the city, toward Thomasville and Lexington | S. Main St., Thomasville |
| I-74 / US-311 | East side, from I-85 north toward Winston-Salem | Either Main St. store, Kernersville |
| I-40 | North of the city between Winston-Salem and Greensboro | Kernersville, Greensboro Sapp Rd., Peters Creek Pkwy. |
| Main Street | North-south through downtown | Both High Point stores |
| US-220 / I-73 | East, through Randolph County | Randleman |
During High Point Market weeks, roads into downtown get crowded, shuttles run between parking lots and showrooms, and drive-thru lines in town can be long. The stores farther from downtown on each end of Main Street may move faster.

How Does Cook Out Compare With High Point’s Barbecue Tradition?
Cook Out is fast and cheap and open late. It is not a replacement for a dedicated barbecue restaurant, but its barbecue sandwich and tray are a common budget choice in High Point.
High Point sits in Piedmont barbecue country, close to Lexington, where chopped pork with a vinegar-and-tomato dip is a local tradition. For decades the city’s best-known spot was Kepley’s Barbecue, which served from the same Quonset hut starting in 1948. Kepley’s closed in early 2025 after more than 75 years, and the property has since changed hands.
| Need | Best pick | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Cheap full meal | Cook Out | Tray with entrée, 2 sides and drink for about $8 |
| After midnight | Cook Out | Typical close around 3–4 AM |
| Pit-cooked barbecue plate | A dedicated barbecue restaurant | Slow-cooked pork, trays and table service |
| Breakfast | Other chains | Cook Out opens at 10:30 AM |
| Milkshake | Cook Out | 40+ flavors for about $3.99 |
Among fast-food chains, Cook Out competes with Bojangles, which was founded in Charlotte, and the national burger chains along Main Street. Its main advantages are the price of the tray and how late it stays open.
