Cook Out Savannah GA — 2 Locations, Addresses & Late-Night Hours (2026)

How Many Cook Out Locations Are in Savannah, GA?

Savannah has 2 open Cook Out restaurants as of October 2026, according to Cook Out’s store locator: 3009 Skidaway Rd (31404) and 11700 Abercorn St (31419). One covers midtown and the east side, the other covers the fast-growing south side along Abercorn.

The two stores are only about 3 miles from the center of the city in straight-line terms, but they sit in opposite corners of town and roughly 6 miles apart from each other. Skidaway Road is the in-town choice for the Historic District, midtown, Savannah State University and anyone heading out toward Thunderbolt, Wilmington Island or Tybee. Abercorn Street is the south-side store for Georgia Southern’s Armstrong Campus, Hunter Army Airfield, Windsor Forest, Georgetown and drivers coming up from Richmond Hill on I-95.

• Savannah – Skidaway Rd: 3009 Skidaway Rd, Savannah, GA 31404 (east side, the closer store to downtown).
• Savannah – Abercorn St: 11700 Abercorn St, Savannah, GA 31419 (south side, just up Abercorn from Georgia Southern’s Armstrong Campus at 11935 Abercorn St).
• Typical hours: 10:30 AM to about 3 AM Sunday–Thursday and about 4 AM Friday–Saturday; hours vary by store.
• Next-closest store: 480 Pooler Pkwy in Pooler, about 12 miles northwest, about 0.6 mile from I-95 exit 104.
• Coming soon: Cook Out’s locator lists no coming-soon stores within 30 miles of Savannah as of October 2026.

Searching for a Cook Out on Tybee Island, Wilmington Island, Richmond Hill or Port Wentworth? None of those communities has its own store in the locator, so islanders usually drive to Skidaway Rd, Richmond Hill drivers to Abercorn St, and Port Wentworth and west Chatham drivers to Pooler.

Savannah’s two stores are listed first, followed by the two other stores within about 26 miles, in Pooler and on Hilton Head Island. 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 Savannah, so actual drives run longer, especially to Hilton Head.

Which Cook Out Is Closest to My Part of Savannah?

Use Skidaway Rd for downtown, midtown, the east side and the islands; use Abercorn St for the south side, Hunter Army Airfield and Richmond Hill; and use Pooler for the airport, west Chatham and I-95 north. Because the stores sit in opposite corners of the city, picking the right one can save a 20-minute crosstown drive.

One practical note for visitors: neither Savannah store is within walking distance of River Street or the squares, so plan on driving or a rideshare. If you are staying at one of the hotels near the airport or Tanger Outlets in Pooler, the Pooler store is usually quicker than going into the city.

When Did Cook Out Come to Savannah?

Cook Out reached the Savannah area in 2014, when the chain was expanding across Georgia from its first stores in Statesboro and Augusta. Reports that year pointed to a store at 11700 Abercorn St on the site of a former Wendy’s and a store on Pooler Parkway near the Publix-anchored Pooler Marketplace.

We have not found a reliable published opening date for either Savannah store, so this guide gives only what was reported at the time. What the reports do show is where Cook Out aimed first: the busy south side along Abercorn and the I-95 corridor in Pooler, two of the fastest-growing parts of Chatham County. Today the Skidaway Rd store rounds that out by covering the east side, midtown and the road to the islands.

How Do I Get to Cook Out From I-16, I-95 or the Truman Parkway?

From I-95, the Pooler store is the quickest stop (exit 104, about 0.6 mile); from the south side, the Abercorn St store sits near the southern end of the Truman Parkway; and from I-16 or downtown, the Skidaway Rd store is the closest. Neither Savannah store is right on an interstate, so allow a few extra minutes.

Coming from each direction

• From Jacksonville or Brunswick on I-95 north: take exit 94 onto SR 204, the Abercorn Expressway, which runs northeast into Savannah’s south side toward the Abercorn St store. If you are staying on I-95, keep going to exit 104 for Pooler.
• From South Carolina on I-95 south: exit 104 at Pooler Parkway is the simplest stop, about 0.6 mile from the ramp, with Tanger Outlets and the airport nearby.
• From Macon or Statesboro on I-16 east: I-16 ends in downtown Savannah. Skidaway Rd is the closest store to the end of the interstate; Pooler is the alternative if you cut over to I-95 north first.
• From Tybee Island: come in on US-80 through Wilmington Island and Thunderbolt territory to the east side; Skidaway Rd is the natural stop.
• From Hunter Army Airfield: the Rio Gate on the southwest side of the airfield is open 24/7 and is roughly 1.5 miles from the Abercorn St store; the Wilson Gate, also 24/7, is about 3 miles from either Savannah store.

A useful local detail: the Abercorn Expressway (SR 204) loses its controlled access at the Rio Road signal near the Savannah Mall and continues into the city as a busy six-lane road, so south-side traffic can back up at rush hour. Late at night, though, the drive from I-95 exit 94 to the Abercorn St store is quick.

Is There a Cook Out Near Georgia Southern Armstrong, SCAD, Savannah State or Hunter Army Airfield?

Yes. The Abercorn St store is the closest Cook Out to Georgia Southern’s Armstrong Campus and to Hunter Army Airfield’s Rio Gate, while the Skidaway Rd store is the closer choice for Savannah State University, SCAD’s downtown buildings and the Historic District. Both keep the chain’s typical late hours.

Soldiers coming off Hunter late can use Abercorn St; those based at Fort Stewart in Liberty County are closer to the Hinesville store. Students at Armstrong rarely need to go anywhere else, while SCAD and Savannah State students usually find Skidaway Rd the faster trip.

What Time Does Cook Out Close in Savannah?

Most Cook Out stores, including typical locations like the ones in Savannah, 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 Savannah store. Thanksgiving, Christmas and other holidays often bring shorter hours or a closure, and staffing can occasionally close a window early.

Holiday hours, early closures and drive-thru-only nights follow the same chain-wide patterns everywhere; our guide to Cook Out’s late-night hours covers them in detail.

Late-night tip: if the line at one Savannah store is long, the other is roughly 6 miles away and usually keeps the same late hours. After midnight on a Friday or Saturday, the Pooler store by I-95 tends to see travelers as well as locals.

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

The best value at either Savannah store 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 Savannah: the drive-thru moves fastest if you order by tray (for example, “a Big Double tray, Cook Out Style, with hush puppies and onion rings, sweet tea to drink”). Shakes take longer, so order them with the meal rather than adding them at the window. If you are feeding a group after a day on Tybee or River Street, ordering several trays is usually cheaper than combo meals elsewhere.

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

How Does Cook Out Compare to Other Food in Savannah?

Cook Out’s edge in Savannah is a full tray for under $8 and a drive-thru that stays open until about 3 or 4 AM, long after most fast-food chains on Abercorn St and Victory Dr have closed. Savannah’s famous sit-down kitchens and ice cream parlors are a different kind of meal, with daytime and evening hours.

Savannah is a food city. Visitors line up for Southern family-style lunches in the Historic District and for old-fashioned ice cream downtown, and the south side has dozens of chain restaurants along Abercorn St. Cook Out competes on price, menu range and late hours rather than ambience: it is where locals go after a shift, after a game or after a night out downtown.

If you want shrimp and grits or a Lowcountry boil, Savannah has plenty of places for that. But for a burger, a barbecue sandwich, hush puppies and a banana pudding shake at 1 AM, the two Savannah Cook Outs are hard to beat.

Where Are the Other Cook Out Guides Near Savannah?

The closest Cook Out guide to Savannah is Hinesville, about 32 miles southwest near Fort Stewart; Brunswick is roughly 80 miles south by I-95. The Pooler store is covered on this page, and the Hilton Head store is in the South Carolina guide.

On a road trip along I-95? Remember that Pooler (exit 104) is the last easy Cook Out stop before South Carolina, and the Abercorn Expressway at exit 94 leads to the south-side store.
