Is This the Jacksonville, NC Cook Out or the Florida One?

This page covers Jacksonville, Florida (Duval County). Jacksonville, North Carolina (Onslow County), the city next to Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, is roughly 380 miles away in a straight line and has its own Cook Out stores, covered in our Jacksonville, NC guide.

The two cities get mixed up constantly in searches, maps and delivery apps, so it is worth double-checking the state before you drive. A quick way to tell them apart:

If a map app sends you to an address on Marine Blvd or Western Blvd, it is pointing at North Carolina. The only Florida Jacksonville address in Cook Out’s locator is 14016 Beach Blvd, ZIP 32250.

How Far Is the Beach Blvd Cook Out From My Part of Jacksonville?

For almost everyone in Jacksonville and the Beaches, Beach Blvd is the closest Cook Out; only people in Nassau County near the Georgia line are closer to Kingsland. Jacksonville is the largest city by land area in the continental United States, so drive times from the Westside or Northside can be long. The table shows typical routes.

Routes are typical, not turn-by-turn. Beach Boulevard is a busy commercial corridor, so evening traffic toward the Beaches can slow the last few miles; JTB to Hodges Blvd is often the faster approach from the south and west.

Is the Jacksonville Cook Out Near UNF, Mayo Clinic or the Bases?

Mayo Clinic Florida, at 4500 San Pablo Rd S, is about 1.6 miles south of the store in a straight line, making it the closest major landmark. The University of North Florida, near I-295 and JTB, is a short drive west via JTB and Hodges Blvd.

How Does Cook Out Compare to Jacksonville’s Other Fast-Food Favorites?

Cook Out’s edge in Jacksonville is a full tray with two sides for around $8 and a drive-thru that usually runs until 3 or 4 AM, plus a menu that mixes burgers, North Carolina-style chopped barbecue, chicken and hot dogs. Jacksonville already has strong hometown and regional favorites, so it depends on what you want.

Firehouse Subs was founded in Jacksonville and is a local point of pride for hot subs. Whataburger has many locations around Jacksonville, and some stay open around the clock, making it Cook Out’s most direct late-night rival. Publix subs are a lunch staple, and the Beaches have plenty of seafood and taco spots for a sit-down meal. Cook Out stands out on value and on dessert, with dozens of milkshake flavors that most local chains do not try to match.

For transplants from the Carolinas, Georgia and Virginia, Beach Blvd is the first chance to get a familiar Big Double and banana pudding shake without crossing the state line.
