Chesapeake is a big city by area, stretching from South Norfolk and Western Branch in the north to the North Carolina line, so one store does not serve everyone equally. Drivers in Western Branch and Deep Creek are often as close to the Portsmouth store on Victory Boulevard, while people near the Indian River and Greenbrier North areas may find the Virginia Beach or Norfolk stores just as quick. The tables below sort that out.

Where Is the Cook Out in Chesapeake, VA, and What Is Nearby?

Looking for a store in another city? Every location is on our Cook Out store locator.

Chesapeake’s open store is listed first, followed by the eight other Cook Outs within about 21 miles in Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Suffolk and Hampton. 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 the Battlefield Boulevard store, so real drives run longer. Coming-soon stores, including Western Branch, are described in the text only until they open.

Which Cook Out Is Closest to My Part of Chesapeake?

For Greenbrier, Great Bridge, South Norfolk and most of southern Chesapeake, the Battlefield Boulevard store is closest; Western Branch and Deep Creek drivers are often as close to Portsmouth, and the Indian River area is close to Virginia Beach and Norfolk. The table gives typical choices by neighborhood.

Straight-line distances understate real drives in Chesapeake, because the Elizabeth River branches, the Intracoastal Waterway and the Dismal Swamp limit where roads can go. From Western Branch, for example, the Battlefield Boulevard store is about 11 miles away by air but a longer trip by road, which is why the Portsmouth store on Victory Boulevard is usually the faster call.

Is a Second Cook Out Coming to Chesapeake?

Yes, Cook Out’s locator lists a coming-soon store at 3216 Western Branch Blvd in the Western Branch section of Chesapeake; no opening date has been announced as of October 2026. When it opens, it would be the city’s second Cook Out and the closest store for Western Branch and nearby parts of Portsmouth such as Churchland.

We have not found a reliable published opening date for the Battlefield Boulevard store, so this guide does not give one. What is clear is that Hampton Roads is one of Cook Out’s densest markets in Virginia: counting Chesapeake, there are nine open stores within about 21 miles of Battlefield Boulevard. For the statewide picture, including Richmond, Fredericksburg and the Shenandoah Valley, see our Virginia Cook Out guide.

A quick note on the city itself: Chesapeake is an independent city formed in 1963 from the merger of Norfolk County and the city of South Norfolk, which is why it covers so much ground, from suburban Greenbrier to farmland near the state line and part of the Great Dismal Swamp.

How Do I Get to Cook Out From I-64, I-464 or Route 168?

From I-64, take exit 290 for Battlefield Boulevard (Business 168) and head south; the store is about a quarter mile from the interchange. From Route 168, the road toward Nags Head and the Outer Banks, exit onto Battlefield Boulevard North and drive north past Chesapeake Regional Medical Center toward I-64.

Coming from each direction

• From Norfolk on I-464: follow I-464 into Chesapeake and either continue to I-64 east and exit 290, or take Route 168 south and exit to Battlefield Boulevard North, as Chesapeake Regional’s own directions describe.
• From Virginia Beach on I-64 west: take exit 290 for Battlefield Boulevard; the store is just south of the interchange.
• From Richmond or the Peninsula: I-664 over the Monitor-Merrimac Memorial Bridge-Tunnel avoids the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel; follow it to I-64 east toward Virginia Beach, cross the High Rise Bridge and take exit 290.
• From the Outer Banks or Currituck: US 158 north becomes Route 168 at the Caratoke Highway; continue into Virginia on the Chesapeake Expressway corridor and exit to Battlefield Boulevard North.
• From Elizabeth City: US 17 north through the Dismal Swamp area brings you into southern Chesapeake; cut over to Battlefield Boulevard or I-64 from there.

Beach-week tip: on summer Saturdays, Route 168 fills with Outer Banks traffic in both directions. The Battlefield Boulevard store is only a short detour from the highway, which makes it a practical last stop heading south or a first stop heading home.

Is the Chesapeake Cook Out Near Chesapeake Regional, Colleges or Military Bases?

Chesapeake Regional Medical Center at 736 Battlefield Blvd N is about 2 miles south of the store on the same road, which makes it the closest late-night option for hospital night shifts. The city’s military and college crowds are spread out, so for some of them a Norfolk, Portsmouth or Virginia Beach store is closer.

Old Dominion University and Norfolk State students are much closer to the Norfolk stores; see the Norfolk Cook Out guide. Remember that Cook Out is built around the drive-thru and walk-up window rather than an indoor dining room, so plan to eat in the car or take it home.

What Time Does Cook Out Close in Chesapeake?

Most Cook Out stores open at 10:30 AM and close around 3 AM Sunday through Thursday and around 4 AM on Friday and Saturday, and the Battlefield Boulevard store generally follows that pattern. 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 a posted schedule for the Chesapeake store. Thanksgiving, Christmas and other holidays often bring shorter hours or a closure, and staffing can occasionally close a window early.

For holiday patterns and drive-thru-only nights, see our guide to what time Cook Out closes.

Late-night tip: if the Battlefield Boulevard window is closed or the line is long, the Indian River Road store in Virginia Beach is about 4 miles away, and the Norfolk Military Highway store is about 7 miles north. That backup is a real advantage of living in Hampton Roads, where nine stores are open within about 21 miles.

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

The Chesapeake menu is Cook Out’s standard lineup of char-grilled burgers, chicken, barbecue, hot dogs, wraps, sides and 40-plus milkshakes, and the best value 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. Exact prices vary by store and change over time, so treat these as typical figures rather than a posted price list.

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

Ordering tips for Battlefield Boulevard: the line moves fastest when you order by tray, for example “a Big Double tray, Cook Out Style, with hush puppies and onion rings, sweet tea to drink.” Shakes are made to order, so ask for them with the meal instead of adding them at the window. Picking up for a crew after a hospital shift or a long day at work in Greenbrier? Several trays usually cost less than combo meals at the other chains around exit 290.

For full details see the Cookout Tray menu, the milkshake menu, the burger styles guide and the Cook Out calories guide.

How Does Cook Out Compare to Other Food on Battlefield Boulevard?

Cook Out’s edge on Battlefield Boulevard is a full tray with two sides for under $8 and a drive-thru that usually runs until 3 or 4 AM; neighbors like Mission BBQ and Chick-fil-A win on smoked meat and chicken, and Waffle House is the other true all-night option at the exit.

The I-64 exit 290 area is packed with chains: Krispy Kreme, Chick-fil-A, Dunkin’, Wendy’s, Waffle House, Mission BBQ, Five Guys and Denny’s are all within about half a mile of the interchange. That makes it easy to compare. Cook Out stands out on value and variety, with burgers, barbecue, chicken, hot dogs and quesadillas on one menu, plus hush puppies and more than 40 milkshake flavors.

Hampton Roads also has its own seafood and barbecue traditions, and sit-down spots in Great Bridge and Greenbrier are better for a long dinner. But for a Big Double, hush puppies and a banana pudding shake after a late shift or on the way back from the beach, Battlefield Boulevard is the place.

Where Are the Other Cook Out Guides Near Chesapeake?

The closest Cook Out guides are Norfolk (three stores, about 7–11 miles north), Virginia Beach (two stores, about 4–14 miles east) and Elizabeth City, NC, the next store south toward the Outer Banks.

Heading to the beach? Cook Out’s locator also lists a store in Kill Devil Hills on South Croatan Highway, so Outer Banks visitors are no longer limited to a stop on the mainland. Portsmouth, Suffolk and Hampton do not have their own guides on this site yet; their addresses are in the directory above.
