Cook Out actually started as an eat out restaurant. There are far more Cook Outs with no indoor accommodations. The managers here are probably not used to providing that type of service. Even though, that around a quarter of orders will be had in the parking lot. Next time just tell them; you're used to the original style of Cook Out dinning.
You have to eat inside the establishment in order to get free refills.
