Raising Cane’s

This is my go-​to place everytime I crave fried chicken. I did today too. Reached the place a little after 12 (closing time on Wednesdays) and noticed that the doors were locked, so I went through the drive thru. The order was placed quickly and while picking up, the guy asked me to wait in the front as I was on a bike and he wanted to close shop. I waited for 10 mins in the front and tried going through the front door which was locked, none of the employees were bothered to check on me and were busy packing up. I finally had to bang on the window on drive thru (one employee who noticed me first just mouthed ‘we are closed’ and walked away), when I finally got the order from the guy who told me to wait in the front, he forgot to put in the ketchup.
Such a bad experience and I’m never going back. I’m gonna go to chick-​fil-​a henceforth.

What an incredible place to visit! From the moment we walked in the door, we received the red carpet treatment. We were warmly and promptly greeted. Then, because there was a short line, the counter folks acknowledged us and said they would be right with us. Ordering was fast and easy. After a short wait, they brought our order to our table. Food is excellent given that it is fast food. I really liked the slaw — it tasted freshly made. Overall, a great place to eat and I will be back!

I loooveeee the chicken… the food is never the issue!
Tonight we arrived at 11pm sharp.
Went through the drive thru and Tiana took our order and repeated it back. We got to the window and she repeated the order… incorrectly. We corrected it, waited. she handed us our Arnold Palmers and we realized they were regular sized. Tonight we asked for larges. no biggie, right! We mentioned it so she could correct her mistake yet again. still no biggie UNTIL this girl really had the nerveeee to get an attitude even after I paid the difference gladly. Like excuse the hell outta me but we corrected you 3 times politely with NO GRIEF and you felt the need to huff and puff??? I’m literally writing this before eating my food she was so rude. I hope you find a job in a stock room away from the busy bowels of canes!
Keep make fabulous chicken though!!!

Tasty, economoical, clean, simple.
The bread on the side is pretty good with their specialty sauce.

hey, you forgot ketchup. no worries im on my way back. Have it ready for me, im gonna drive around everyone in the drive through and just nuzzle right in, be there in T-​3 minutes

We picked up a large catering order in the restaurant last Saturday. We were there right in the middle of the dinner RUSH, and the staff treated us like ROYALTY. We were shaking our heads as we left with our order, marveling at how they can prepare 100 chicken tenders (all HOT), countless pieces of toast, cole slaw and TWO TRAYS of french fries with Cane’s Sauce in addition to serving their eat-​in customers during the dinner rush. AMAZING.
Plus, the staff was polite, cheerful and went the extra mile to pack the food in such a way as to make unpacking especially convenient. They made sure we had everything we needed and offered to help us carry it out to our car. Whoa.
This restaurant, their management and their staff GET IT, and they are quite special.
NICE WORK!

Dipping Sauce Recipe
½ Cup Of Mayonnaise
¼ Cup Of Ketchup
½ teaspoon of garlic salt
¼ teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon of black pepper/​to taste

Head is about to explode…
I want to start with my previous experiences which have been so extremely hit or miss. Its either really great food and accurate or its a total whiff.
This last visit– First, my total for the box combo was $ 7.77, I had .86c in my coin tray and asked the girl to wait while I gave her the change portion of my total. I drop a dime in the crack between my seat and middle console. So I have 76c at this point and before handing it over I ask her if thats OK? She said YES. I give her the change and she closes the window for 1 – 2 minutes and then gives me my dollar change and…99c… I’m dumb founded what just happened. Next– I get my box combo and somehow I got double sauce and no coleslaw.
They have good food– theres no doubt or question there. But as far as the quality of the trainers and for lack of motivation of beating around the bush right now to be polite, a competent staff.
Do better Cane’s. Care more about the service you provide and the people you hire to represent your values and retain customers.

This is my second time at raising canes. I think the chicken is awesome, but my pieces were kinda small compared to the last time i ate at one. The fries were plentiful but not done all the way so they were mushy. Small condiment area that allows one person at a time so it’s a little slow when u have to wait in line for ketchup

Chicken fingers are outstanding. They advertise never frozen chicken, and it makes a big difference. Not greasy at all, but very moist meat.
Dipping sauce is also excellent.
French fries are average at best. Seemed undercooked.
Texas toast was like a toasted hotdog bun — very plain.
Excellent fast, friendly service.

Why did the chicken cross the road? To have a family reunion at Raising Cane’s!
…I have a weird sense of humor. I apologize.
I’ve been wanting to try Raising Cane’s for a while after hearing the teenie bopper at work rave about it on and on. After losing $ 15 in Bingo, we decided to swing to soothe our aching hearts and rumbly tummies. When we first walked in, the place was desolate with the exception of a few tables. After we sat down and were waiting for our food, the place got busy. There were four combinations to choose from and a kid’s meal as your options. I chose The Finger Combo since I’m not a huge fan of coleslaw. I got three chicken strips, crinkle french fries, and Texas toast with my meal. The chicken was pretty good! Great flavor, I like the breading, but they were a bit small. They give you Cane’s sauce for dipping them in which tastes mainly of mayonnaise, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce. NBD, why is everyone freaking out over the sauce? It tastes kind of like Thousand Island dressing. I was later told by my brother that I should have asked for gravy. Mmm, gravy. Anywho, the fries were okay and the bite of coleslaw I yoinked tasted decent as well. I’m loving that Texas toast too!
Don’t park east of the restaurant because this place gets crazy busy and the drive-​thru line could block you in. All in all, it was decent eats. But $ 6 for three tiny chicken tenders? Come on!

The BEST Chicken EVER.
Seriously. And I’m the person that orders fried chicken at a burger place. I love chicken and I can’t even explain how badly I miss and crave Cane’s since I graduated and left Tempe.
This location is always clean, the staff is so nice, its huge and even on crowded days I’ve always found somewhere to sit. They get you your food out pretty quickly and its always hot and fresh. I love that they have sweet tea. Their Cane’s sauce is awesome. I just love love love this place.
If you don’t want chicken, or have a lame-​o in your group who doesn’t want chicken, then don’t come here. They really only sell chicken, but they’ve definitely perfected the craft and I wish they’d put a location in Utah.

Been a while since I’ve been to good olé Canes. Very happy I stopped in. Prices very reasonable and they taste just like I remember!

This should be 3 ½ stars but I’ll be nice. Since the chicken with fries and toast are legit and that’s really what you’re going for, we’ll puff it up to 4 stars.
My real gripe with this location is the parking situation. HORRIBLE. The drive-​thru line backs up and leaves you stranded in your car if you dare park by the building. So park away from the building!
As far as the food, like I said — it rocks. Good grub and their «Canes Sauce» is bomb. The coleslaw however is WACK. Watery and bland. I always just tell them I don’t want it so I don’t have to waste food by throwing it away.
The bathrooms at this location are usually dirty due to the dorm-​room manners of their ASU patrons and the dorm-​room work ethic of their ASU staff. When I bring my kids in for a bite, especially my 3 y/​o princess, it sucks to walk into and attempt to help her use a nasty bathroom.
All in all, it’s a great place when you’re wanting some fried chicken and fries.

The best chicken fingers in a long time. They were so soft and juicy. Could tell that they have marinated it well and it’s fresh. The crinkle cut fries could have been more crunchy. Definitely not good for a to go, since they will go soft pretty quickly. The Texas toast is a good add on. Absolutely loved their sauce.
The service is fantastic, greeting all your visitors and being enthusiastic and warm, definitely makes for a good visit.
The pricing is good for the quantity and affordable for students too since this is near the University.

I was delighted to see Raising Cane’s near ASU as I have tried it before in Las Vegas and really liked the food. Normally I get either the box combo or the 3 finger combo depending on what I’m in the mood for. If it’s your first time the box combo is a great sampler for their menu on what they have to offer. Given the proximity to ASU there are loads of college students that come through here but what I like is that they are open late which makes RC a great option for take out. As far as the food this is what I thought:
Chicken Fingers = Main reason for coming here in the first place. They are definitely above average and go well with the dipping sauce.
Texas Toast = Nice and soft and I like the flavor.
Coleslaw = It’s just okay but goes well with the box combo meal. Nice to see some veggies though.
French Fries = They are okay, just your average fries I guess. Keep in mind that they are crinkle cut instead of regular fries.
Sauce = I’m a fan of the sauce but I do wish they have more choices of sauces in general, as this seems important for finger food.
Overall a great spot and despite being fast food I do like coming back here. The service is fast and the pricing for the combos is great value.

Best fried chicken joint in town! They specialize in fried chicken. Their menu is narrow, but the are great at those items: fried chicken, fries, toast and coleslaw.
They have a loyalty program that gets you some free food, but not often. You can get a free finger if the Cardinals win!

I was going to give three stars because its chicken fingers and French fries. I decided this place deserves only two stars because they have only four items in the menu –oh, five if you count the kids meal.
Chicken fingers –quality. Two thumbs up.
French fries –okay, but not great.
Cole slaw –no clue cuz I gave mine to hubby.
Texas toast — short and thick white bread that’s been toasted or grilled and it is white bread good.
The special sauce that even they can’t describe.
I would have preferred Ranch dressing, or Devils Spit BBQ sauce, or blue cheese dressing, or mustard or Catsup.
It just wasn’t very good. I did feel it was nondescript.
It’s all okay but not good enough to bring me back anytime soon.

This place does a fine job at cooking chicken tenders and fries. They even got the Texas toast down to a perfection.
Came in here while trolling around Tempe and decided to give them a shout out. Located very close to ASU and should be a popular spot when you need to catch some bird.
Ordered the biggest thing on the menu called the Caniac Combo. Stopped drinking the dreaded soda pop and went with some dihydrogen monoxide. It is a lot better for you and the price of the combo goes down quite a bit.
The menu here is very simple and they give you a basic no thrills meal. You can always substitute some of the sides if you so desire. The big thing everyone cries about is the top secret sauce. Maybe I missed the boat on this one but it is nothing more than some doctored up mayonnaise.
Food is pretty good and the chicken is very tender. Good chance they are doing that southern trick of marinating it in some seasoned butter milk overnight. That always keeps it juicy and flavorful after frying.
Would like to see some more dipping sauces. Just take some regular Franks hot sauce and add equal parts of brown sugar and simmer it in a pan. Some country fried chicken gravy would be good also. Maybe just offer some jalapenos or something spicy to add a little kick.
Definity gets really busy around lunch time. Saw tons of sweaty blue collar workers (like me) coming in and chowing down on big plates of chicken. Some of them looked like they could have skipped the soda pop as well.
Recommend bringing your own dipping sauce or hot sauce to complete the occasion. Some people just need more options. CLUCK CLUCK A-​OK!

Raising Canes is hands down the best chicken strips joint in all of the land.
I’m a Californian and unfortunately we don’t have any of these anywhere in sight. I usually get my fix whenever I hit Vegas. I was in Phoenix for the day and totally remembered that they have Canes in the area.
Their chicken strips are amazing along with the Canes sauce that comes with it. I always go with the Caniac Combo even though it’s a lot to eat. The Texas Toast is amazing as well. It compliments the food very well.
I give this place a 5 easily, especially since their restaurant area is open until midnight. The other locations nearby are only opened until 11, with this one being open an extra hour. It definitely helped since I visited about 11:40 in the evening.
Definitely hit this place up. The staff is pretty nice as well. Great overall experience. I can’t wait to come back!
