Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers

There's this stigma around fast food and how it's either the worst experience you ever been through (yes, worse than that time you had to pretend to laugh at your racist uncle's jokes so he wouldn't cut you out of his will) or the closest thing you can get to euphoria other than shooting up heroin. My time eating these chicken fingers was more akin to the latter. I got a caniac combo -- because big boys need big meals -- with the cole slaw replaced with a BOB'd (Butter On Both sides) texas toast. So there I was with 5 chicken fingers, a bunch of fries, and two delicious buttered toasts. I ordered extra sauce so I could maintain my constant dip-to-food ratio. A sauceless finger/fry was not something I wanted to witness. Holy moly, this was the best meal in recent memory. The chicken was crisp, the fries excellent, and the toast, GOD the toast!!! I sympathize with those who had a not so great experience and their reviews are valid. I think my circumstances for this meal were unique. I was coming off a very long day at an anime convention, which followed an even longer day and night out and about town. Exhaustion and hunger are often best friends, and this caniac combo are the rings to their marriage. Went at 7pm on a Saturday and the drive thru wasn't that bad. 10 or so minutes of waiting. Raising Canes, in my eyes, exceeded the hype. It really blew me away, but if I were coming in with certain expectations and a skeptical attitude before, I wouldn't expect myself to praise it this much. I only wish that you would have a good time eating this as well!

Why is this place so overrated? Chicken tenders 3/5 -Juicy but bland -Coating was soggy and fell apart -Portion size was not enough to fill you up Fries 2/5 -Very bland and substandard, not crisp -Stingy portion with the meal, they only give a little bit of fries in the compartment Bread 3/5 -Nothing to write home about -Soft brioche-like garlic bread Sauce 3/5 -Salty and tangy -I guess you need sauce with the bland chicken Long line. Food was mediocre at best. I would not pay to eat here. I would not crave anything from here

Came here on Friday 4/25 around 6:30pm. My niece was excited to try a hot place for her 18yr old birthday dinner with our family, party of 6. I had my mom who is legally blind and uses a walker stay in the car while I checked the place out for accessibility to handicapped people. There was a line of about 15 people waiting outside the restaurant. So, I wanted to make sure that there was a table and chairs that met her needs. I asked the young employee woman at the door about the tables that are accessible for handicapped customers. She told me that there was a table outside in the outdoor dinning area, and that there were tables inside but that the place was cramped. After scanning the outside dinning area, I asked if I could take a look inside to make sure the place was accessible to my mother. She agreed to let me in with a passive aggressive tone. She told me that she would be looking at me while I looked inside. I couldn't believe how rude she was and told her that her statement was rude. She denied that she was rude and that I was cutting in the line. So I asked her if I was supposed to wait in line to look at the interior of the restaurant to make sure it was accessible for my mother with mobility challenges. I spoke to Nate V, the manager in regards to the hostile exchange. He listened to me and tried to justify her position by telling me that other customers try and cut the line so she was doing her job to make sure no one cuts the line. He listened to me and told me that I could file a complaint online but that I can't have her name. We left this establishment and don't plan on returning. We had The Melt in Santa Clara instead and the kids enjoyed delicious chicken burgers. The Melt has great customer service and great seating.

Visited for lunch right before the crowd. Staff was okay. Ordered the Caniac combo but subbed the bread for fries and coleslaw for an extra sauce. Chicken was freshly cooked but taste was mid, the sauce helped a bit. Lemonade was too sweet for my liking. Parking was easy when I visited.

The food here is good but not the best. It's crispy but tastes bland without the sauce. Also try to order on the app and come pick up your order faster. I think the garlic bread here was the best. Their sauce tasted like Thousand Island Dressing mix with something.

drive thru: wait at the booth for drinks, and then stay there for food, do not drive away so soon after that!! amazing food per usual, super clean super nice & well organized imo, workers are there to help and confusion or give recommendations :))

Saturday lunch for 2, very busy & crowded; ordered 3 chicken fingers combo & chicken finger sandwich, chicken fingers were served hot & soft, not hard as other fast food hard chicken nuggets. Sauce is very good, French fries are average; liked the lemonade with sugar cane; not much decoration same as other fast food joints

There service is bad the food is not that great and the main manager is very unprofessional they need to just close this place down

The Chicken fingers are a joke they are way to small for the price also the portion of fries is a joke I had Raising Cane's in El Paso and the chicken fingers are 3 times Biggers.

Horrible. Breading just falls off like it just doesn't care. KFC and Popeyes are better! What a joke. No care for quality. Will not be coming back.

Was excited to try Raising Cane's chicken and sauce, but that was quickly extinguished after I first touched the chicken tender. The pieces are decently sized, lots of meat in each bite. The part that threw me off was that the chicken was not crispy. It was soft and almost soggy. The sauce, which I heard is the star of the place, was just okay to me. I don't crave it like Chick-Fil-A's sauce and it isn't memorable either. The fries were soft and really salty. I felt I needed to drink a glass of water each time I took a bite. My daughter felt the same way and she stopped eating the fries because she thought she would get high blood pressure if she ate anymore. The good thing there was the Texas toast. Crispy, flavorful and light. The service is great. Nice workers, always smiling and answered any questions we had. The inside of Raising Cane's is awesome. Best pic is the dog with sunglasses on it, as well as the shirts workers wore. Sadly, Raising Cane's didn't meet any expectations and nothing about their food, aside from the Texas toast, is enjoyable. No idea why there are 2 Yelp pages for the same place but I'm posting my review here and the other page.

Don't waste your time. There are plenty of wing stops and chicken places in the bay. This chicken is bland, flavorless and the sauce adds one dimension to this gray food. The portions are tiny and the price tag is too big.

Got the 25 chicken finger pack. They forgot to give us any sauce. Chicken was kind of bland, sort of like kfc with less seasoning. Will not go back again.

great service, but i think there should be more fans or at least a place for employees to sit or something. it's getting hot and they're out there on pavement with the sun beating down and that can result in some (understandable) grouchiness. The food is pretty good; I usually grab a caniac once a month after going especially hard at the gym, but the tender sizes are way too small. I love cane's sauce and disagree with people saying it's overrated, but the size really really needs to start making sense. Plus, they don't put nearly enough fries in the box. Cane's in Texas does not have such pathetically tiny portions, and whenever I went there we were never able to finish the fries. This is not a meal you should be able to finish in one sitting if you were getting your money's worth. If you're going to give me a tender that's the size of an Oreo, the least you could do is lower the price. But I don't count on that happening, so it would be better to just make them the right size.

Overpriced for below average food. Chicken is good, not great, and everything else was far below average. Don't waste your money.

just got home and they forgot the toast . The kids working there always playing around and the service sucks.

App is very bad. Place order but fail but money taken out of account. Wouldn't recommend using app or online website

Food is not the greatest, tastes like microwaved food. Drive thru workers were rude. Probably wouldn't come back again.

Ms Pamela was very customer oriented appreciated her service food was great I'm coming again service was excellent the inside is very decorative with awesome stuff great place overall.
