CiCi's isn't fancy. Though the Matthews location has been remodeled in the last few months. But what it lacks in atmosphere it makes up for in value. For just $3.99 (slightly more if you'd like something other than water to drink), you can get a full-blown pizza buffet. That's right, unlimited trips to their buffet, featuring a number of pizzas, including bread sticks and dessert pizzas!
The Cook Out is an interesting beast because no one can seem to figure out where they're based. I've heard reports that they are out of Greensboro (NC), but they don't seem to have a web site at this writing, and it just doesn't seem to be anything that anyone can verify.
Nonetheless, the company is doing something right. Their down-home style, the original hamburgers "cooked outdoors style", the 36 "creamery" premium milkshakes and the retro styling of the building has kept the double drive-thru near our house hopping since they opened nearly six months ago.
