The Cookout Fish N' Chips & More

Southern-style battered & fried soul food is invading Mountain View & Palo Alto, and it's an occupation no one's gonna be protesting. Catfish, tenders and a whole host of fried fish options highlight a menu that brings the coast to the mountains without missing a step. Hush puppies, fries, coleslaw and more sauce than you can handle round everything out, so that your plate's packed with flavor for days. And nights. Look it takes a while to take all this flavor in, okay? So just embrace it. Of course it takes no time at all to get your plate to begin with, as the Cookout cranks it out fast, and cranks it out with a smile. It's hospitality that's as active as it is friendly. MUST TRY
