Augusta Cook Out Locations
How to Use: The map above shows Cook Out’s locations across the Augusta metro. Three corridors are covered Washington Road near Augusta University’s Summerville campus, Gordon Highway serving as the main artery between Fort Eisenhower and Augusta’s commercial district, and Wrightsboro Road covering the north side and communities across the South Carolina border including North Augusta, Martinez, and Evans. All locations are within a 10–15 minute drive of downtown Augusta’s Broad Street corridor, Augusta National Golf Club, and the James Brown Arena.
Cook Out Locations by Area
Washington Road (Augusta University Corridor): The Washington Road location is the most convenient Cook Out for Augusta University’s Summerville campus serving undergraduate students, Medical College of Georgia students, and Dental College of Georgia students. Washington Road connects Augusta University directly to the Augusta National Golf Club area and is one of the city’s highest traffic commercial streets, making this location accessible from the university, the I-520 Bobby Jones Expressway, and Augusta’s western residential neighborhoods. This location stays open until 4 AM on weekends and sees especially strong demand during the academic year and Masters Tournament week, when Augusta National is just minutes away on Washington Road itself.
Gordon Highway (Fort Eisenhower Gateway Corridor): The Gordon Highway location sits on the primary corridor connecting Fort Eisenhower’s main gate on US-1 to Augusta’s commercial district making it the most convenient Cook Out for soldiers, DoD civilians, contractors, and military families commuting between the installation and the city. This location sees consistent traffic during weekend pass hours, late night off duty periods, and overnight shifts when onpost options are limited. For soldiers arriving from other parts of the country, this is often their first Cook Out experience and many remain customers long after their Augusta assignment ends.
Wrightsboro Road (North Augusta / Evans Corridor): The Wrightsboro Road location serves Augusta’s growing north side and the residential communities of North Augusta, Martinez, Evans, and Grovetown areas that have expanded significantly as Columbia County has grown. This location is the most convenient for families and commuters on Augusta’s suburban side, and also provides practical access for Aiken County, South Carolina residents who cross the Savannah River into Augusta for dining and shopping.
