Cookout dairy free
Cook Out is known for its delicious menu, but for those who are dairy-free or have lactose intolerance, navigating their offerings requires some caution. Here’s an overview of dairy-free options available at Cook Out, as well as tips for ordering:
Dairy-Free Menu Options at Cook-Out
Entrees
- Grilled Chicken Sandwich (without cheese and mayo):
- The grilled chicken itself is dairy-free, but you should ask for no cheese, and no mayonnaise, and verify the bun ingredients with the staff.
- Hamburgers:
- Cook Out’s beef patties are typically dairy-free, but confirm this at your location.
- Order without cheese, and double-check the bun for dairy ingredients.
- BBQ Sandwich:
- The pulled pork and BBQ sauce are usually dairy-free but confirm with your location to ensure no hidden ingredients.
- Hot Dogs (without chili and cheese):
- Hot dogs are usually dairy-free, but toppings like chili or cheese need to be excluded.
Sides
- French Fries:
- Cook Out’s fries are generally dairy-free but may be fried in shared fryers, so cross-contamination is possible.
- Hush Puppies:
- These are typically dairy-free but may vary by location; check with staff.
- Cole Slaw:
- Cole slaw may be dairy-free depending on the recipe used at your location. Confirm with staff.
Salads
- Order salads without cheese or creamy dressings. Opt for a dairy-free dressing like Italian or Balsamic Vinaigrette if available.
Milkshakes and Desserts
Unfortunately, all of Cook Out’s milkshakes and desserts contain dairy, so they are not suitable for a dairy-free diet.
Tips for Ordering Dairy-Free at Cook-Out
- Ask for Ingredient Lists: Ingredient lists or allergen information may not be readily available, so ask staff for clarification about specific items.
- Customization: Many menu items can be modified to be dairy-free by removing cheese, mayonnaise, or other dairy-based toppings.
- Cross-Contamination: While Cook Out can provide dairy-free options, cross-contamination in preparation areas may occur. If you have a severe allergy, make sure to inform the staff.
Always Confirm Ingredients:
Since recipes and preparation methods can vary by location, it’s essential to confirm the dairy-free status of specific items directly with the restaurant staff.
