Cook Out Locations in Kentucky
Kentucky has 12 Cook Out restaurants across 12 cities, one in each. Lexington, Bowling Green, Frankfort, Richmond and Murray are among them, with the rest scattered through smaller towns along I-64 and I-75 rather than clustered around a single metro. Every one takes drive thru and takeout orders, with delivery on the usual platforms.
Kentucky carries 12 Cook Out restaurants across 12 cities, and no city has more than one. Lexington is the largest with a restaurant serving the University of Kentucky area, and Bowling Green covers Western Kentucky University. Richmond, Morehead, Murray and Williamsburg each sit near a state university as well, which is a consistent pattern for the chain.
The rest fill in the middle of the state: Frankfort, Winchester, Mount Sterling, Somerset, Campbellsville and Columbia. Coverage runs along I-64 and I-75 rather than reaching the far west or the Louisville metro. For a chain built out of the Carolinas, Kentucky sits at the northwestern boundary of where it has gone, and the single restaurant per city reflects a footprint still filling in.
Prices match the rest of the chain. A tray starts at $2.99, a Plain Hamburger is $1.19, chicken nuggets are $0.99 and a Cheese Dog $0.99. Chicken strips run from $3.39 and the 36 milkshake flavors begin at $2.79. Every Kentucky restaurant sets its own figure within a few cents, since the chain publishes no national price.
Doors open at 10:30 AM and most restaurants run to 3 AM, later on Friday and Saturday. The full menu is served the whole time, with no breakfast and no reduced overnight board. Because each Kentucky city has just one restaurant, the seven day schedule on that city’s page is the schedule for the whole city, and it was checked against that restaurant’s own listing.
Trays make a group order easy to place. Each one is a main, two sides and a large drink already assembled, so ordering in bulk needs no extra planning. Cook Out has no catering department, so large orders are arranged with the restaurant on the phone. All 12 Kentucky locations list their phone number on their city page.
