Cook Out Brunswick GA — New Jesup Rd Location at I-95 Exit 36, Menu & Hours (2026)

Is There a Cook Out in Brunswick, Georgia?

Yes. Brunswick has one Cook Out, at 4950 New Jesup Rd, Brunswick, GA 31520, on the US-25/US-341 corridor (signed locally as New Jesup Highway) at I-95 exit 36. It is the only Cook Out in Brunswick, Glynn County and the Golden Isles, according to the Cook Out store locator (October 2026).

iExit lists the store about 0.23 miles from the exit 36A ramp, on the southeast side of the road. Its neighbors are the usual interstate lineup: Taco Bell at 4930, McDonald’s at 4957, Popeyes at 4933, plus Waffle House, Burger King and a Cracker Barrel right at the I-95 and US-341 interchange.

That location makes Brunswick one of the easiest Cook Out stops on I-95 in Georgia. It is also the only one for a long way: Kingsland, near the Florida line, is about 31 miles south; Hinesville is about 42 miles north; and the south Savannah store on Abercorn St is about 57 miles away. The locator lists no coming-soon stores within 30 miles of Brunswick as of October 2026.

Which Cook Out Is Closest to Me Around Brunswick and the Golden Isles?

For all of Brunswick, St. Simons Island, Sea Island, Jekyll Island and nearly all of Glynn County, the closest Cook Out is 4950 New Jesup Rd. Only the far ends of the coast are closer to another store: Camden County residents use Kingsland, and Liberty County residents use Hinesville.

Distances are straight lines from Brunswick. From St. Simons or Jekyll, budget about 20 to 30 minutes each way to reach New Jesup Rd outside of beach-season traffic; from FLETC it is a quick hop of two exits down I-95.

How Do I Get to Cook Out Brunswick From I-95?

Take I-95 to exit 36 for US-25 and US-341. Southbound and city-bound drivers use exit 36A toward Brunswick; the Cook Out is about a quarter mile from the ramp on New Jesup Hwy. Northbound drivers can use the same interchange and follow US-341 toward Brunswick.

• I-95 from Jacksonville and Florida: Brunswick sits roughly halfway between Jacksonville and Savannah. Heading north, pass exit 29 (US-17/US-82/GA-520, the Jekyll Island and St. Simons exit) and continue to exit 36.
• I-95 from Savannah: Heading south, pass exit 42 (GA-99 toward Darien) and exit 38 (Golden Isles Pkwy, Glynco and the airport), then take exit 36. If you are coming from Savannah’s south side, the Abercorn St store is your last Cook Out before this one.
• US-341 (New Jesup Hwy): US-341 connects Brunswick with Jesup and inland southeast Georgia. From downtown Brunswick, follow it west to the interstate; the Cook Out is on the city side of the I-95 interchange.
• US-17 (Glynn Ave): US-17 runs along the marshes through Brunswick, carries traffic over the Sidney Lanier Bridge, opened in 2003 and the longest-spanning bridge in Georgia, and connects to the causeways for both islands.
• F.J. Torras Causeway: Completed in 1924, the causeway links Brunswick with St. Simons Island. Islanders cross it into town before heading west on US-341.
• Jekyll Island Causeway (GA-520): Jekyll traffic meets US-17 south of Brunswick, near I-95 exit 29.

Exit 36 is one of the busiest food-and-fuel stops on Georgia’s stretch of I-95, with RaceTrac, Waffle House, Cracker Barrel and a long row of hotels around the interchange. Late at night, when most of those kitchens are closed, the Cook Out drive-thru is typically one of the few still serving.

What Is the Cook Out Market Like in Brunswick and the Golden Isles?

Brunswick is a one-store Cook Out market that serves a much bigger area than its 15,210 residents. As the seat of Glynn County and the gateway to the Golden Isles, it draws island visitors, FLETC trainees, port workers and I-95 travelers to one location.

We have not found a reliable public record of when the Brunswick store opened, so this page does not give a date. Its customer base is easy to describe, though. Tourism is Brunswick’s largest industry, the Port of Brunswick handles about 10 percent of U.S. roll-on/roll-off trade, and the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center at Glynco, about 6 miles north of the city, is a major employer that brings in trainees from across the country.

Brunswick also has food history of its own. The city claims Brunswick stew, and a plaque on an old iron pot says the first batch was cooked on nearby St. Simons Island on July 2, 1898, though Brunswick County, Virginia, disputes it. Brunswick was once known as the “Shrimp Capital of the World,” and Old Town Brunswick, with the Ritz Theatre, is the city’s historic core.

Is There a Cook Out Near FLETC Glynco or the College of Coastal Georgia?

Yes. FLETC Glynco is two I-95 exits north of the store, and the College of Coastal Georgia is a few miles southeast in the city, so the New Jesup Rd Cook Out is the go-to late-night stop for trainees, students and hospital night shifts in Glynn County.

Because no other Cook Out is within about 30 miles, confirm the store’s hours before a very late trip from the islands or from FLETC housing.

What Time Does Cook Out Close in Brunswick, GA?

These are chain-wide norms, not a guarantee for 4950 New Jesup Rd on any particular night. For holiday schedules and late-night details, see our guide to Cook Out’s opening and closing times. Hours can be cut short by staffing, holidays or tropical weather, which matters on the Georgia coast during hurricane season.

Cook Out is a drive-thru and walk-up chain, and most locations do not have indoor dining rooms. Plan to eat in the car, at your hotel or back on the island.

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

The best value is the Cookout Tray, about $7.39–$7.99 for one entree, two sides and a drink. A Jr. Tray starts around $5.29 and milkshakes run about $3.99. These are typical prices that vary by store, so the menu board on New Jesup Rd is the final word.

Calories for popular Brunswick orders

Calorie figures below come from Cook Out’s published nutrition information.

A grilled chicken sandwich with an onion-ring side and an unsweet tea is one of the lighter tray combinations at about 505 calories, since unsweet tea has none. For more, see the Cookout Tray menu, milkshake menu, sides menu and Cook Out calories guide.

• Road-trip orders: if you are back on I-95 right away, order sides that travel well; hush puppies hold up better than fries.
• Beach-house groups: trays keep big family orders straight because each includes its own drink.
• Check the bag: exit 36 is busy; confirm sauces and sides before pulling back onto New Jesup Hwy.

How Does Cook Out Compare to Brunswick’s Local Favorites?

Cook Out competes on price and late hours. Brunswick and St. Simons have nationally known local spots, but most close hours before Cook Out’s typical 3 AM close and cost more for a full meal.

Where Cook Out stands out at exit 36 is a full tray for under $8 and more than 40 milkshake flavors, served long after the island restaurants have closed.
