Why Does Laurinburg Have Only One Cook Out?
Laurinburg is a small city of roughly 15,000 people and the seat of Scotland County, and Cook Out typically puts one store in a town that size. Neighboring county seats such as Rockingham, Raeford, Lumberton and Bennettsville each have their own store, so the region is covered by a ring of single-store towns.
Scotland County seat: Scotland County was formed from Richmond County in 1899 and named for the Highland Scots who settled the upper Cape Fear and Lumber River country in the 1700s. Laurinburg has been the county seat since its creation.
Scottish heritage: That history still shows in local place names and in the Scotland County Highland Games, held in Laurinburg each fall.
Education: Laurinburg is home to St. Andrews University, a small Presbyterian-affiliated school that is now part of Webber International University, and to the historic Laurinburg Institute, a private boarding school founded in 1904 whose alumni include jazz trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie. Richmond Community College also has a Scotland County campus in town.
Crossroads town: US-74, US-401 and US-15/501 all meet in Laurinburg, so the city sees a steady flow of travelers between Charlotte, Fayetteville, Wilmington and the Carolina beaches.
Cook Out was founded in 1989 in Greensboro by Morris Reaves and has 144 open North Carolina stores as of October 2026, according to its locator. We have not found a reliable public source for the Laurinburg store’s opening date, so we do not list one.
Is There a Cook Out on US-74 in Laurinburg?
Yes. The Cook Out at 1304 Scotland Crossing Dr. is on Laurinburg’s southwest side, a short drive from the US-74 corridor that runs between Charlotte and Wilmington. It is the only Cook Out on US-74 between Rockingham and Pembroke.
US-74 is the main east-west route across the southern Piedmont and Sandhills. Around Laurinburg it is built as a freeway bypass, and parts of the route are also signed as I-74. Travelers headed to Wilmington, Wrightsville Beach or the Brunswick County beaches often stop in Laurinburg.
Coming from each direction
- US-74 eastbound (from Charlotte, Monroe, Rockingham): after the Rockingham store on E Broad St, Laurinburg is the next Cook Out about 20 miles on.
- US-74 westbound (from Lumberton and I-95): Pembroke is just off US-74 about 16 miles east of Laurinburg; Laurinburg is the next stop west.
- US-401 (from Raeford and Fayetteville): US-401 comes southwest through Wagram into Laurinburg. Raeford’s store is on the way if you are hungry sooner.
- US-15/401 (from Bennettsville, SC): head north across the state line through McColl into Laurinburg.
- US-15/501 (from Southern Pines and Aberdeen): drive south through the Sandhills into Laurinburg; Southern Pines has its own store about 27 miles north.

How Does Cook Out Compare to Other Food in Laurinburg?
Cook Out’s advantage in Laurinburg is late hours and price: a full tray costs less than most national-chain combos, and it stays open well past most local restaurants. For breakfast or a sit-down meal you will need another option.
| If you want… | Cook Out | Typical alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Food after midnight | Yes, usually until 3–4 AM | Few local kitchens open that late |
| A full meal under $10 | Tray with entrée, 2 sides, drink | National-chain combos often cost more |
| Milkshakes | 40+ flavors, about $3.99 | Shorter flavor lists elsewhere |
| Breakfast | Not served | Biscuit chains such as Bojangles and Hardee’s |
| Indoor dining | Drive-thru and walk-up | Downtown Laurinburg’s sit-down restaurants |
| Barbecue | NC BBQ sandwich and tray option | Dedicated barbecue restaurants in the region |
Cook Out’s chopped-pork barbecue sandwich leans toward the vinegar style common in eastern North Carolina, which suits local tastes. It is still fast food, so for a full barbecue plate a dedicated barbecue restaurant is the better choice.
