Which Virginia Cook Out Is Closest to Me?
Find your area in the table to see the nearest store and the simplest way to get there. In Hampton Roads and Richmond you can usually choose between two stores, so check traffic before you leave, especially near the tunnels.
| If you are in or near… | Closest Cook Out | Route |
|---|---|---|
| Downtown Norfolk, Ghent, ODU | Norfolk – 1818 Monticello Ave | Monticello Ave north from downtown |
| Naval Station Norfolk, Wards Corner | Norfolk – 720 E Little Creek Rd | Little Creek Rd east of Granby St |

Northern Virginia only has one store, and it is in Manassas Park. If you’re coming from Fairfax, Arlington or Alexandria, budget 30 to 60 minutes depending on I-66 traffic. Loudoun County has no Cook Out, so Winchester (about 45 minutes west of Leesburg) and Manassas Park are the nearest options.
When Did Cook Out Come to Virginia?
Morris Reaves founded Cook Out in Greensboro, North Carolina, in 1989. The chain has been growing in Virginia since at least 2010, when its first Richmond-area store opened on Eastridge Road in Henrico. These are the Virginia milestones that local news coverage confirms.
December 2010: The first Richmond-area Cook Out opens on Eastridge Rd in western Henrico (Richmond BizSense).
Summer 2011: A second Richmond store opens at 4802 W Broad St near Staples Mill Rd, in a former Bullets building.
Late 2011: Blacksburg and Radford open, putting Cook Out within reach of Virginia Tech and Radford University.
2012: Lynchburg opens in March, Harrisonburg follows soon after, and Danville opens in October.
2013: Cook Out buys a former Wells Fargo branch at 4300 S Laburnum Ave in eastern Henrico for its third Richmond store.
2017: Plans are announced to replace a Captain D’s at 4245 Pouncey Tract Rd in Short Pump, and to replace a vacant furniture store at 720 E Little Creek Rd in Norfolk.
September 2019: The Collinsville store opens in Henry County, serving the Martinsville area.
December 2021: Winchester opens at 1551 S Pleasant Valley Rd, the northernmost Virginia store.
2022: Cook Out buys a former Long John Silver’s at 2809 Franklin Rd for Roanoke’s second store (August). Manassas Park, Northern Virginia’s first store, holds its ribbon-cutting on November 4.
2026: The locator shows 42 open stores and four coming soon.
Many Virginia Cook Outs moved into former fast-food buildings: Long John Silver’s sites in Charlottesville, Madison Heights and Roanoke, and a Captain D’s in Short Pump. A former KFC at 1010 Independence Blvd in Virginia Beach was sold to Cook Out in 2021. That store still shows as coming soon on the locator.
Which Virginia Cook Outs Are Right Off the Interstate?
Thirteen Virginia Cook Outs are about a mile or less from an interstate exit, spread across I-81, I-95, I-64, I-264 and I-581. Distances below are approximate driving distances from the exit ramp.

I-81 drivers heading from Tennessee toward Pennsylvania can stop at Bristol, Staunton, Harrisonburg and Winchester. Salem, Radford/Fairlawn, Lexington and the Roanoke stores are a few minutes off the interstate. I-95 drivers on the way from North Carolina to D.C. have Colonial Heights, Ashland and the two Fredericksburg stores. There is no Cook Out on I-95 north of Fredericksburg, so plan ahead before the Woodbridge and Springfield traffic.
US-29 works as a Cook Out corridor too, passing through Danville, Lynchburg, Madison Heights and Charlottesville. On the coast, US-17 connects Gloucester with the future Yorktown store, and US-220 runs past Collinsville and Rocky Mount toward Roanoke.
Is There a Cook Out Near Virginia Tech, UVA or JMU?
Yes. Most of Virginia’s big campuses have a Cook Out within a few miles, and the large military bases in Hampton Roads and the Tri-Cities do too. With most stores open until 3 or 4 AM, they’re a regular late-night stop for students, shift workers and service members.
Virginia Tech & Radford University Blacksburg’s store at 1311 S Main St is about 1.5 miles south of the core of campus. Radford students cross the New River to 7400 Lee Hwy in Fairlawn.

What Time Does Cook Out Close in Virginia?
Most Virginia Cook Outs open at 10:30 AM and close around 3 AM Sunday through Thursday and around 4 AM on Friday and Saturday. Hours vary by store, so check the location before a late drive, especially on holidays.
| Day | Typical open | Typical close |
|---|---|---|
| Sunday–Thursday | 10:30 AM | About 3:00 AM |
| Friday–Saturday | 10:30 AM | About 4:00 AM |

College-town stores like Blacksburg, Harrisonburg and Charlottesville are often busiest after midnight on weekends and on game nights, so expect a line around 1 AM.
Need a full hours rundown, including holidays? See the Cook Out hours guide.
What Does Cook Out Cost in Virginia (2026)?
A Cookout Tray (an entrée, two sides and a drink) runs about $7.39 to $7.99 in Virginia, and a Jr. Tray starts at about $5.29. Prices vary a little from store to store, and the menu is the same one served in North Carolina.

- Jr. Tray: from about $5.29
- Milkshakes: about $3.99, with 40+ flavors

Want more detail? Check the tray menu, the milkshake menu, the drinks menu and the secret menu.
How Does Cook Out Compare to Virginia’s Late-Night Favorites?
Cook Out’s draw is variety and price: for under $8 you get a full tray and a shake, late into the night. Virginia also has a few historic hometown counters worth knowing about, and some of them are close to a Cook Out.
| Local favorite | Where | Known for | Nearest Cook Out |
|---|---|---|---|
| Texas Tavern (since 1930) | 114 W Church Ave, Roanoke | Chili, hot dogs, “Cheesy Westerns”; open 24 hours (closed Christmas) | Roanoke – Franklin Rd or Hershberger Rd |
| Texas Inn (Lynchburg since 1935) | 422 Main St, Lynchburg | Cheesy Western, house chili | Lynchburg – 2629 Wards Rd |
| Doumar’s (on Monticello since 1934) | Monticello Ave, Norfolk | Hand-rolled waffle cones, barbecue, curb service | Norfolk – 1818 Monticello Ave |
| Wawa & Sheetz | Statewide | 24-hour made-to-order food and coffee | Varies |
Texas Tavern and Texas Inn are known for one style of chili burger. Cook Out’s Big Double “Cook Out Style” is a similar idea, but you also get two sides and a drink. Doumar’s, near the Monticello Ave Cook Out in Norfolk, is the place for a dessert cone. Cook Out is better for a 40-flavor milkshake menu, and it’s open much later. Wawa and Sheetz stay open around the clock, but a full Cook Out tray usually costs less than a comparable built-to-order meal at either one.
Are New Cook Out Locations Coming to Virginia?
Yes. As of October 2026, Cook Out’s locator lists four Virginia stores as coming soon. None have announced opening dates, and they aren’t included in the 42-store count above.
- Virginia Beach: 1010 Independence Blvd, a former KFC that was sold to Cook Out in 2021 (coming soon per Cook Out’s locator).
- Chesapeake (Western Branch): 3216 Western Branch Blvd (coming soon per Cook Out’s locator).
- Yorktown: 4340 George Washington Memorial Pkwy, as the locator lists it, in York County (coming soon per Cook Out’s locator).
- South Boston: 3616 Old Halifax Rd in Halifax County (coming soon per Cook Out’s locator).
Once all four open, Virginia will have 46 stores. Hampton Roads would grow to 15, and South Boston would fill a gap on US-58 between Danville and the Clarksville and South Hill area.
