About Cook Out's Sweet Tea

Sweet tea is the unofficial state drink of the Carolinas, and Cook Out brews it fresh in store throughout the day. The blend is on the sweeter end of the spectrum (about 44g of sugar per Large), which is exactly what regulars want. Unsweet tea is brewed in a separate batch and is genuinely unsweetened — not a half-sweet compromise.

Floats

Cook Out's $1.79 floats are an underrated item. The Cheerwine Float is essentially impossible to get outside the Southeast and is the cleanest way to taste the regional cherry soda. The Coke Float is the classic.
