Cookout Specials, Tray Deals & Prices
Cookout does not run coupons, app deals or limited time offers the way most chains do. The whole model is a permanently low board, so the real question is which combination gets you the most food. Below is every item under $2, the tray math, and the cheapest pick in each menu.
The Cookout Tray Is the Deal
A tray bundles a main, two sides and a large drink from $2.99. Buying the same three things separately almost always costs more. There are 16 to choose from.

Does Cookout run seasonal specials?
The milkshake lineup shifts through the year, with seasonal flavors appearing and leaving. The core menu and its prices stay put.
Is there a Cookout student discount?
No published student, military or senior discount program. The low board price is the offer, which is why the chain does not layer discounts on top.
