Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers

I’ve been to this place a few times, never had a bad experience. Today was the exception I guess. My tenders were terrible! It was like chewing on a wet sock with steamed breading. I couldn’t even finish them. I’ll try it again but not anytime soon… I need time to get this bad taste out of my mouth.

Absolutely love this place!!! Definitely worth it make sure you try their cane sauce!

Service was horrible. Won’t be returning again. Asked for large drink and was given a small. Asked for a water and sever grabs a small coffee cup and walked to sink and to fill up. Over priced and bad service! Should have gone to the other chicken place across the street!

Rude customer service
Delinquencies working the drive through
Asked for Ketchup and the girl questionably rebutted «excuse me!!» And gave off a snobbish attitude … Not the way chickfila handles their customers. They are ALWAYS polite and right across the street!!!

Sigh… as a Louisiana girl (at what age should I stop using «girl»?) stuck in Texas without her home comforts, Raising Cane’s is a lovely comfort. I drive here from San Marcos just to enjoy the Cane’s sauce, chicken, TX toast, sweet tea, and crinkle fries. Love, I tell you. Pure love.
On this particular visit, my cashier was fabulous. And complimented me on my entirely too casual for public outfit. Said I was rocking it. Geaux LSU!
Clean! (Gotta love that.)

Decided to eat here because I had a gift certificate. I wasn’t sure what to expect because of the less than mediocre reviews. There are three other chicken places (Chick-​fil-​A, Bush’s and KFC) within a quarter mile from each other. Pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. Rolled in with my family around 4pm and the place looked closed. The place looked very clean – almost new. The restroom was spotless. I kept seeing employees come out to make sure the tables were clean. The menu is a little limited but I guess you can only make chicken so many ways. The person who took our order was very friendly. Once they took the order, it took about 5−10min tops. The food came out hot and while the fries were just right. The chicken, cole slaw and dressing were pretty good. The sweet tea was just perfect. The portion were maybe more than we expected – especially the chicken box combo. I don’t eat that much but that box would have ok for me and my wife. We might return in the future.

I was not impressed. The food was Ok but nothing special. The cane sauce wasn’t impressive either. It wasn’t bad but not good enough to bring me back. I though it was a little over priced.

I recently ate at this place for the first time, and I have honestly had better chicken at a KFC. The chicken tenders were heavily breaded and horribly overcooked. They were also completely flavorless… the chicken hadn’t been marinated in anything and there was absolutely nothing in the breading besides flour. As far as their ‘World Famous’ Raising Cane’s sauce, I have a strong suspicion that it is only a heaping dose of garlic mixed in with ketchup and ranch sauce. The only enjoyable part of my meal was the coleslaw… and that was marginal. I think that if I ate that in any larger doses, the odd seasoning they put in there would probably make me sick, as the chicken did.
I will never eat at this place again, which has been agreed upon by the friends that went with me.

Alright, the previous two star review did have me laughing and I can totally see where he is coming from. However, I actually like the chicken here. Here’s the catch… the first two times we stopped here for lunch due to its convenient location I was basically like «Bleh, it’s okay, nothing special». A few weeks passed and one magical afternoon I was like «Whoa, I’m craving Rasing Canes right now»! And now I’ve been here at least ten times. Crack sauce? Because I really have fallen in love with their sauce. However, thanks to the World Wide Web… I can now make this sauce at home — pretty much.
I actually like the chicken. It’s delicious to me. Not sure if the precious reviewer got a bad batch but mine have always been pretty damn good. They aren’t huge chicken strips but they also aren’t the smallest I’ve seen. The menu is probably the simplest menu I’ve ever witnessed… chicken strips, fries, coleslaw, garlic bread, sauce and the optional bun. That’s it! Staff is friendly and I’ve never been there a time when the place wasn’t spotless and clean.
Now to the fries. Yea, they are nothing special. I’ve heard complaints from friends about their fries too. I pick through the limp, soggy ones and only eat the ones that are actually cooked well. I wish they would work on these!
All in all, I’ll be back… I really do like their chicken and crack sauce. Don’t freak… there is not actual «crack» in it people… but it’s addicting in a cracky way!

I have this vision where the founder & CEO of Raising Cane’s, Todd Graves, goes on Undercover Bosses and discovers that he has been lied to and deceived. The chicken fingers that he is tasting at RC HQ is all a scheme to keep the king in the castle and away from the peasants.
Why do I say this? Because the chicken fingers here are absolutely nothing like the ones advertised or described.
For my $ 7, I got a tray of three fingers which contained maybe 5 oz of chicken. They were HEAVILY breaded and so dry that they were crunchy. They also came with elementary school cafeteria fries (no seasoning to report) and a slice of bread. For a few dollars more I could have had this… wait for it… ON A BUN! ~*gEnIuS*~
I can just imagine his face as he works as a temp, discovering that «his» chicken fingers are utter crap. He has been deceived! Dishonest advisers have tricked the King of Chicken Fingers™ into living a lie! These bland, tasteless things are not the work of Todd Graves, but of greedy sycophants!
This will not stand! The same glorious chicken fingers that he has been tasting all these years shall be given to the masses! No cost is too high! No barrier insurmountable! By God he swears a creed to give every man, woman, and child the chicken fingers they deserve!
At least we can hope.
