Cook Out Opens First Birmingham Location
Mayor Randall Woodfin's wish has been granted, as popular fast food chain Cook Out has opened its first Birmingham restaurant.
BIRMINGHAM, AL — A popular fast food chain has opened its first Birmingham location. Cook Out, a North Carolina-based chain with restaurants already in Tuscaloosa, Jacksonville, Huntsville and Montgomery, opened on 281 Lakeshore Parkway this week.
Birmingham residents have been clamoring for the chain to open a location in the Magic City for some time now, with Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin one of the most vocal residents on the matter.
