This is the only Huntsville Cook Out location we could independently confirm, cross checked across Yelp, Yellow Pages, and other aggregators, which consistently agree on the address and general hours below.

Sparkman Drive runs through northwest Huntsville, a short drive from Redstone Arsenal and within range of the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) campus. The late closing time 3:00 AM most nights, 4:00 AM on weekends makes it one of the more reliable full menu options in the city after midnight, which matters in a metro area where overnight food options thin out quickly outside the downtown core.

Cook Out is an actively expanding chain, so it’s worth checking the map above or the official Cook Out store locator periodically in case a second Huntsville location opens we’ll update this page if and when that’s independently confirmed, rather than listing an unverified address in advance.

The Huntsville location runs Cook Out’s standard full menu char grilled burgers, BBQ, hot dogs, Cajun chicken, and the Tray combo system that bundles an entrée, two sides, and a drink (swappable for a milkshake) into one price. The Tray remains the best value format for a full meal here, the same as at any other Cook Out location.

Prices are estimates based on typical Cook Out pricing and can vary. Confirm current pricing directly with the Sparkman Drive location if it matters for your order.
