Cook Out Augusta GA — 4 Locations, Addresses & Late-Night Hours (2026)

How Many Cook Out Locations Are in Augusta, GA?

Augusta has 4 open Cook Out restaurants as of October 2026, according to Cook Out’s store locator: 1801 Walton Way, 2910 Washington Rd, 3012 Peach Orchard Rd and 4088 Jimmie Dyess Pkwy. Together they cover the medical district and midtown, the Washington Road corridor near Augusta National, south Augusta along the Bobby Jones Expressway, and the west side near Fort Gordon.

All four stores sit within about 5 miles of the city center, but they are spread out in four different directions, so the closest one depends heavily on where you start. Walton Way is the in-town store for the hospitals and Augusta University. Washington Road is the quickest stop off I-20 for travelers and anyone in the National Hills and West Lake area. Peach Orchard Road serves south Augusta, Hephzibah-bound traffic and the I-520 corridor. Jimmie Dyess Parkway is the go-to for Fort Gordon soldiers and families and for Grovetown commuters.

Augusta’s four stores are listed first, followed by the one other store within about 20 miles, in Aiken, South Carolina. Addresses come from Cook Out’s own store locator (October 2026). Each card has a Google Maps directions button. Distances are approximate straight-line miles from central Augusta, so actual drives run a little longer.

Which Cook Out Is Closest to My Part of Augusta?

Use Walton Way for downtown, midtown and the hospitals; Washington Rd for west Augusta, Martinez and I-20; Peach Orchard Rd for south Augusta and Hephzibah; and Jimmie Dyess Pkwy for Fort Gordon and Grovetown. The stores are spread far enough apart that choosing the right one can easily save 15 minutes.

Because Washington Road is also the main route to Augusta National, the Washington Rd store gets much busier during Masters week each April. If you are staying on the south side or near the airport, Peach Orchard Rd is usually the calmer choice that week, and Walton Way is easy to reach from downtown hotels.

When Did Cook Out Come to Augusta?

Cook Out reached Augusta in 2013, when its first store opened at 1801 Walton Way on the site of a former Hess gas station. Over the next few years the chain added stores on Jimmie Dyess Parkway, Washington Road and Peach Orchard Road, giving Augusta the four it has today.

We have not found reliable published opening dates for the Jimmie Dyess, Washington Rd or Peach Orchard Rd stores, so this guide gives only the years they were reported as planned. The order is still telling: Cook Out started in the medical district, then followed Augusta’s growth west toward Fort Gordon and Columbia County, and finally filled in the south side.

How Do I Get to Cook Out From I-20, I-520 or Gordon Highway?

The Washington Rd store is the closest to I-20 (exit 199, about 0.3 mile), the Peach Orchard Rd store is the closest to I-520, the Bobby Jones Expressway (exit 7, about 0.8 mile), and the Jimmie Dyess Pkwy store is the one to use from Gordon Highway. Walton Way is the in-town store with no interstate on its doorstep.

Coming from each direction

• From Atlanta on I-20 east: exit 194 puts you on Jimmie Dyess Pkwy toward the west Augusta store; exit 199 at Washington Rd is the easiest stop of all, a few hundred yards from the ramp.
• From Columbia on I-20 west: after crossing the Savannah River, keep going to exit 199 for Washington Rd. If you are already hungry in South Carolina, the Aiken store is about 19 miles east of Augusta.
• From Savannah or Waynesboro (US-25): US-25 comes into south Augusta as Peach Orchard Road, so the 3012 Peach Orchard Road store is right on your route.
• From Fort Gordon: Jimmie Dyess Pkwy (SR 383) begins at Gordon Highway just north of Gate 1, so the Jimmie Dyess store is the shortest drive off post.
• From Evans and Martinez: follow Washington Rd southeast or Belair Rd south; Belair Rd becomes Jimmie Dyess Pkwy south of I-20.

A useful local detail: SR 383 is Jimmie Dyess Parkway only on its southern end. North of Park West Drive, just south of I-20, it becomes South Belair Road and then North Belair Road on the way to Evans, so a Belair Road address and the Cook Out on Jimmie Dyess are on the same highway.

Is There a Cook Out Near Augusta University, Fort Gordon or the Hospitals?

Yes. The Walton Way store is the closest Cook Out to Augusta University’s Health Sciences campus and the Medical College of Georgia, and the Jimmie Dyess Pkwy store is the closest to Fort Gordon. Both keep the chain’s typical late hours, which matters in a city full of night-shift workers and soldiers.

If you are new to Fort Gordon, the Jimmie Dyess store is the easy answer for a late meal after leaving post, and Washington Rd is a good backup when you are already on I-20. Students living near the Summerville campus usually find Walton Way faster than driving out to Washington Rd.

What Time Does Cook Out Close in Augusta?

Most Cook Out stores, including typical Georgia locations like Augusta’s, 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 and can change on holidays, so check the store’s Google Maps listing before a late drive.

These are chain-wide typical hours, not posted schedules for each Augusta store. Thanksgiving, Christmas and other holidays often bring shorter hours or a closure, and staffing can occasionally close a window early. For holiday and weekend patterns across the chain, see our guide to what time Cook Out closes.

Late-night tip: with four stores in four directions, there is almost always one within 10–15 minutes of anywhere in Augusta. If the Washington Rd line is long during Masters week or after an event, Walton Way is about 4 miles away and usually keeps the same late hours.

What’s on the Cook Out Augusta Menu, and How Much Does It Cost?

The best value at any of the four Augusta stores is the Cookout Tray, typically about $7.39–$7.99 for an entree, two sides and a drink. A Jr. Tray typically starts around $5.29 and milkshakes run about $3.99, though exact prices vary by store and can change.

Calories for popular picks

Calorie figures below come from Cook Out’s published nutrition sheet. They are per item, so add your entree, sides and drink together for a tray total.

Ordering tips for Augusta: the drive-thru line moves fastest if you order by tray (for example, “a Big Double tray, Cook Out Style, with hush puppies and onion rings, Cheerwine to drink”). Late at night, the full menu is usually still available, but shakes can take longer to make, so order them with the rest of the meal. For full details see the Cookout Tray menu, the milkshake menu and the Cook Out calories guide.

How Does Cook Out Compare to Other Fast Food in Augusta?

Cook Out’s edge in Augusta is a full tray for under $8 and a drive-thru that stays open until about 3 or 4 AM, long after most of the burger and chicken chains on Washington Rd, Peach Orchard Rd and Walton Way have closed. Around-the-clock diners such as Waffle House are the main late-night alternative.

Each Augusta Cook Out sits in a busy fast-food corridor. The Walton Way store was built near a KFC and a Burger King, and the Peach Orchard Rd store shares the I-520 exit 7 area with Applebee’s, Burger King, McDonald’s, Chick-fil-A, Waffle House and Krispy Kreme. Washington Road, which runs past Augusta National toward Martinez and Evans, is one of the city’s main restaurant strips. Cook Out competes on price, menu range and hours.

Augusta has a long Southern barbecue and meat-and-three tradition, and downtown Broad Street has plenty of local restaurants for a sit-down meal. But for a burger, a barbecue sandwich, hush puppies and a shake at 1 AM, the four Augusta Cook Outs are hard to beat.

Where Are the Other Cook Out Guides Near Augusta?

The closest Cook Out guide to Augusta is Columbia, SC, about 70 miles east on I-20; Atlanta is the big Georgia market about 150 miles west. The Aiken store, about 19 miles away, is covered in the South Carolina guide.
