Cook Out Norfolk VA — 3 Locations, Addresses & Late-Night Hours (2026)

How Many Cook Out Locations Are in Norfolk, VA?

Norfolk has 3 open Cook Out restaurants as of October 2026, according to Cook Out’s store locator: 1105 N Military Hwy, 1818 Monticello Ave and 720 E Little Creek Rd. That is more than any other Virginia city, and all three sit within about 2.6 miles of the center of Norfolk.

Each store covers a different side of the city. Monticello Ave is the in-town store north of downtown, closest to Ghent, the Sentara Norfolk General medical complex, Norfolk State and Old Dominion. Little Creek Rd is the north-side store near Tidewater Drive and I-64, the closest of the three to Naval Station Norfolk and Wards Corner. Military Hwy is the east-side store on US-13, closest to JANAF, Norfolk International Airport traffic and the Virginia Beach line.

Where Are the Cook Out Locations in Norfolk, VA?

Looking up a different town? Use our Cook Out store locator to search every state.

Norfolk’s three stores are listed first, followed by the seven nearest Hampton Roads stores within about 23 miles. 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 central Norfolk; with tunnels and bridges in the way, the actual drive can be much longer.

Which Cook Out Is Closest to My Part of Norfolk?

Use Monticello Ave for downtown, Ghent, the medical center, Norfolk State and ODU; Little Creek Rd for Wards Corner, Ocean View and Naval Station Norfolk; and Military Hwy for JANAF, Norview, the airport area and the Virginia Beach line. The Indian River Rd store in Virginia Beach is also handy for southeastern Norfolk and Kempsville.

Base traffic shapes the dinner rush. When shifts let out at Naval Station Norfolk, Little Creek Rd and Tidewater Dr can get busy, so the Monticello Ave store can be a faster option for anyone heading home through Ghent or downtown.

How Long Has Cook Out Been in Norfolk?

Cook Out has been in Norfolk for well over a decade, and the city has steadily added stores; the newest of the three, on East Little Creek Road, was proposed in 2017 for the site of a former furniture store. We have not found reliable published opening dates for the Monticello Ave or Military Hwy stores, so we do not give one.

Hampton Roads keeps growing as a Cook Out market. Besides Independence Blvd, the locator shows coming-soon stores at 3216 Western Branch Blvd in Chesapeake and 4340 George Washington Memorial Pkwy in Yorktown. Opening dates are not published, so treat them as future options rather than places to drive to today.

How Do I Get to Cook Out From I-64 or I-264 in Norfolk?

From I-64, use exit 277 (Tidewater Dr, VA-168) for the Little Creek Rd store, about 0.6 mile away. From I-264, use exit 13B (Military Hwy, US-13) for the Military Hwy store, about 0.9 mile north. The Monticello Ave store is reached from the downtown end of I-264 via Brambleton Ave.

Coming from each direction

• From Richmond or Williamsburg (I-64 east): after the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel, continue to exit 277 for Tidewater Dr and the Little Creek Rd store. The Hampton store at exit 263 is the last Cook Out before the tunnel.
• From Virginia Beach (I-264 west): exit 13B for Military Hwy puts you about 0.9 mile from the N Military Hwy store, just past the JANAF area.
• From Chesapeake or the Outer Banks (I-64 / Route 168): the Chesapeake store on Battlefield Blvd is right off I-64 exit 290; in Norfolk, Military Hwy is the closest.
• From Portsmouth (I-264 east): come through the Downtown Tunnel and head north on Monticello Ave for the 1818 Monticello Ave store.

Tunnels are the wild card in Hampton Roads. The Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel, the Downtown and Midtown tunnels and the Monitor-Merrimac on I-664 can all back up, so on a late-night run it is usually better to stay on your side of the water and use the closest store.

Is There a Cook Out Near Naval Station Norfolk, ODU or Norfolk State?

Yes. The E Little Creek Rd store is about 3.5 miles from Naval Station Norfolk, and the Monticello Ave store is about 2 miles from Old Dominion University and under 2 miles from Norfolk State University. All three keep the chain’s typical late hours, which matters in a Navy town that runs around the clock.

If you are visiting someone stationed in Norfolk, the hotels clustered around I-264 exit 13B on Military Hwy are on the same stretch as the N Military Hwy store, which makes a late tray an easy walk-up or drive-thru run.

What Time Does Cook Out Close in Norfolk?

Most Cook Out stores, including typical Virginia locations like Norfolk’s, open at 10:30 AM and close around 3 AM Sunday through Thursday and around 4 AM on Friday and Saturday. 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 posted schedules for each Norfolk store. Thanksgiving, Christmas and other holidays often bring shorter hours or a closure, and staffing can occasionally close a window early. For holiday and weekend patterns across the chain, see our guide to what time Cook Out closes.

Late-night tip: Norfolk’s stores are only about 3 to 5 miles apart, so if one has a long line after a shift change or an ODU or Norfolk State game, another is a short drive away and usually keeps the same late hours.

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

The best value at all three Norfolk stores 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, though exact prices vary by store and can change.

Calories for popular picks

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

Ordering tips for Norfolk: the drive-thru line moves fastest if you order by tray (for example, “a Big Double tray, Cook Out Style, with hush puppies and onion rings, Cheerwine to drink”). Late at night, the full menu is usually still available, but shakes can take longer to make, so order them with the rest of the meal. For full details see the Cookout Tray menu, the milkshake menu and the Cook Out calories guide.

How Does Cook Out Compare to Norfolk Favorites?

Cook Out wins in Norfolk on late hours and price, with a full tray under $8 until about 3 or 4 AM; Norfolk’s own icons, like Doumar’s on Monticello Ave, win on history. The fun part is that on Monticello Ave the two are about a block apart.

Doumar’s has been on Monticello Avenue since 1934 and is known for the waffle cone that founder Abe Doumar is credited with inventing at the 1904 World’s Fair, made on a cone machine he engineered. Cook Out’s Monticello Ave store is about a block away, so the two make an easy contrast: a historic daytime drive-in and a late-night chain drive-thru. On the north side, the Little Creek Rd store shares its exit with Hardee’s, Bojangles, Burger King and Wingstop, and Military Hwy is lined with chains near JANAF.

Norfolk’s food scene runs from Ghent bistros to waterfront seafood, but when you want a Big Double, hush puppies and a Cheerwine float at 1 AM, the city’s three Cook Outs are the reliable answer.
