Which Cook Out Is Closest to My Part of the Danville Area?

Coming soon: Cook Out’s locator also lists a South Boston, Virginia store at 3616 Old Halifax Rd as coming soon, about 28 miles east of Danville. Until it opens, Halifax County diners heading west on US 58 will keep using Riverside Drive.

Why Does Danville Have Only One Cook Out?

Danville is a city of about 42,000 people on the Virginia–North Carolina line, and Cook Out has placed a single store on its main retail corridor rather than several small ones; the chain’s Southside Virginia footprint is thin, so Riverside Drive serves a wide area. Virginia had 42 open Cook Outs as of October 2026, spread across the state’s larger cities and highway corridors, and the nearest Virginia store to Danville is about 30 miles away in Collinsville.

Danville’s location explains a lot about its Cook Out habits. The city grew up around tobacco warehouses and the Dan River Mills textile plants, and today it is the shopping hub for the surrounding Pittsylvania County. Riverside Drive, with the Danville Mall, Sam’s Club, Walmart and dozens of restaurants within a mile or so, is where people from the surrounding area come to shop, so it is a logical place for the area’s only Cook Out.

Because Greensboro, the chain’s hometown, is only about an hour south, many Danville residents already know Cook Out well from trips to the Triad. The Greensboro guide covers the stores there.

How Do I Get to Cook Out From the US 29 and US 58 Bypass?

The store is on Riverside Drive, which is US 58 Business; from the Danville Expressway (the US 29/US 58 bypass), the simplest approach is to take the business route into town and follow Riverside Drive to the 3400 block near ALDI and Sheetz. The Danville Expressway bypasses the city, so Riverside Drive is reached by heading in toward the river and the mall area.

Travelers coming up US 29 from Greensboro or down from Lynchburg can treat the Cook Out as a stop just off the bypass. Allow a few extra minutes at peak times: Riverside Drive is a four-lane commercial road with frequent signals, and the Sheetz, Chick-fil-A and ALDI entrances nearby make the 3400 block busy around lunch and dinner. The drive-thru usually moves quickly once you are in line.

Is Cook Out Near Averett University, DCC or Caesars Virginia?

All three are on the south side of the Dan River, while the Cook Out is on the north side along Riverside Drive, so each is a short drive across the river rather than a walk. For students and late-shift workers, Riverside Drive is still the closest Cook Out by far.

What Time Does Cook Out Close in Danville?

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 Riverside Drive store generally follows that pattern. Hours vary by store and can change on holidays or for staffing, so check the store’s Google Maps listing before a very late drive.

Those late hours are the main reason Cook Out stands out in Danville. Many restaurants along Riverside Drive close well before Cook Out does, so after a late shift at Sovah Health, a night at Caesars Virginia or a study session at Averett or DCC, the Cook Out drive-thru is often one of the few hot-food options still open in this part of the city. If you are driving in from Eden, Reidsville or Roxboro late at night, remember those stores keep similar but not identical hours.

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

The Cook Out Danville menu is the chain’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.

A few local ordering habits are worth copying. Groups often split one large order across several trays to cover burgers, barbecue and chicken at once. Night owls tend to order a tray and a shake together, since the tray covers dinner and the shake covers dessert for not much more than a single combo elsewhere on Riverside Drive. If you are feeding kids, the kids menu page explains the smaller options.

How Does Cook Out Compare to Danville’s Other Late-Night Options?

Cook Out’s edge in Danville is a full tray with two sides for under $8 and a drive-thru that usually runs until 3 or 4 AM; Chick-fil-A and most of its Riverside Drive neighbors close much earlier.

The stretch of Riverside Drive around the store is lined with fast food and casual spots: Chick-fil-A at 3535, Wendy’s at 3260, Subway, Popeyes and Buffalo Wild Wings, plus Red Crab Juicy Seafood and Phi-lly Cheese Steak & Things at 3320 Riverside Dr. Cook Out stands out on variety, with burgers, chopped pork barbecue, chicken, hot dogs and quesadillas on one menu, and on dessert, with more than 40 milkshake flavors.

Danville also has its own local favorites, from barbecue at Checkered Pig BBQ & Ribs to delis and sandwich shops on Main Street downtown such as Godfather’s Downtown Deli and Nana Karen’s on Main. Those are better choices for a sit-down meal. Cook Out wins when you want something quick, cheap and late. For a side-by-side look at the national chains, see Cook Out vs. McDonald’s.
