Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers

Good and hot food! The customer service was ok. The food was hot and delicious, but it took a minute for them to serve us.

I love fresh food! That’s what attracts me to Raising Cane’s. At this location, I’ve never had a problem with ordering, the service, or the cleanliness of the restaurant. My chicken fingers are fresh, hot, and crunchy. I love the crinkle fries. The toast was baked to perfection. Though, tonight, the lemonade is not as sweet or tart as it normally is, but my son liked it.
Usually, I’m not a fan of the sauce; I give it to whoever I’m eating with. I’m more of a ketchup person. Maybe my pregnancy temporarily changed my taste buds because I loved the Cane’s sauce. Overall, we are happy with our meals.

Nice, friendly service. I have to clean my own table and booth though. Nasty! Food was good as always.

We’re not much for chains, but since they do tenders, it’s a place the Girly doesn’t mind going to if we’re starving and unsure about what we want. The chicken always seems a bit soggy and I’ve never had a crispy fry there… but it’s food in an emergency.

This place is AWETHUM! Raising Canes is a staple in my household now but it can get high. We always order extra cane sauce and Texas toast it’s just so good. Wash it all down with a sweet tea then all aboard the flavor train!

Apparently I was the first customer of the day (don’t hate! hehe) because I had to have the cane sauce before I went to wait for my Mom’s recliners to be delivered (lots of crossing the CCC that day!). They are selling a stuffeed animal of the dog but ran out. I was going to buy one since the proceeds went to charity. I love that Raising Cane’s is a local joint. In fact, I was at LSU when the very first Raising Cane’s was open (now I’m dating myself).
I remember the first store like it was yesterday. A tiny little joint with booths, exposed walls, and down the hill right off the LSU campus near Chimes. There was a tiny drive through that would get packed late at night when everyone needed their fix. Back then there were no options, just a 5 piece box, no one wanted slaw so we always ordered extra toast and extra cane sauce. It was a college hangout and now I’m pleasantly surprised to have it everywhere! I have spent the rest of my life trying to recreate that cane sauce to no avail. Now I LOVE the cane sauce, texas toast, crinkly fries, and the chicken fingers are good too (hehe…).
The kids that work here are always friendly and polite. She apologized that it would take 8 minutes since I was the first customer. No biggie, the sauce alone is worth my wait! Love me some Raising Cane’s! If you ever want to be on my good side, cook me food, give me gift certificates to places like Raising Cane’s, Target, Mignon Faget, Fleurty Girl, the Bead Shop (do they even do that?), Maple Street Bookstore, etc. Yeah, just give me stuff and feed me! hehe…
Happy Eating!

I love Canes. But I have been to this location twice and both times my experience sucked. The first time the chicken was so hot it burned a hole in the styrofoam box it came in. I brought it up to the guy at the counter and he said no one has ever complained about the chicken being too hot. Thanks. The second visit we entered and stood at the counter for two minutes before anyone even acknowledged our presence. Two employees actually looked at us and turned back around and continued talking. Then we ordered a kids meal and they didn’t give it to us in the bag with the «toy». Why the hell else would I order a kids meal? Then the kid was confused as to why my wife went back up to the counter to ask for the bag and toy. Raising Canes is normally great with customer service but this one needs help.

Ok, so Raising Cane’s is a local fast food chain. For fast food, this was surprising in a couple respects.
1. This place was cleaner than you can imagine — like, cleaner than any hospital I’ve ever been in. The bathrooms, the kitchen, dining area, even the parking lot — spotless. You could eat off of any floor in the place. Very surprising.
2. Décor was surprising, not fast food joint: Velvet elvis on the wall, as well as movie posters from cult classics ranging from easy rider, pulp fiction, to Anchorman. Funny.
3. Menu consisted of chicken fingers only. 3 or 4 finger meals or a handful on a bun. Sides were fries and/​or slaw. Only one sauce choice unless you count ketchup.
4. The chicken was ok, not like KFC or Churches good, but ok.
5. Staff was really, really nice. No attitude which is so common in fast food joints. The cashier spied my military ID and gave me a discount without me asking or anything.
All in all, I may go back if I’m hankering for fried chicken strips because its was a really nice, clean place, but they need a grilled option and 3 – 4 sauce choices at a minimum. A buffalo, Jerk, Thai or BBQ sauce would have bumped it up to a 5-​star easily.
