Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers

First time trying Raising Cane's and we absolutely loved it! Wonderful customer service and the good was great. Cashier was very friendly and food was served fast. Everything was clean. Chicken was very good. Not dry and crispy but moist inside. The sweet tea was really good too. Indoors was very nicely decorated and liked the vibe. Parking is plenty and they also have a drive thru

The food overall was kinda mid, gotta admit, but I really enjoyed the sauce--it definitely stood out as the highlight. The fries, on the other hand, were drenched in salt and dried out my lips. The chicken surprised me though; I was expecting it to be dry, but it turned out to be pretty juicy and flavorful, which I really appreciated. As for the service, it was honestly amazing. The girl who took our order was super sweet and friendly

Fast food Fried chicken and french fries. These guys know how to do the fried chicken and french fries quickly. The sweet tea was tasty too. New location in San Jose was busy, but the staff kept the place moving and people satisfied. The food didn’t take long to come up after we ordered and we found a clean place to sit inside and enjoy the fried chicken and french fries. I recommend paying for the extra sauce.

Canes chicken is lacking a certain flavor only partially brought back up by the sauce. If you like your chicken with some spice, this isn't the place for you. The Texas toast is great and even the coleslaw is pretty good! Relatively quick especially considering how busy it is, the team is very professional!

* No lines in these days Foods - I think it depends. Sometime they give really nice juicy chicken fingers, but sometimes fingers are really dry. Service - Fine. If you don’t mention, they usually treat the order as ToGo. So you better mention for here if you want. Music - the biggest point I dislike. It is so loud.

Absolutely disgusting experience. I found a fake eyelash floating inside my drink — I have no idea how something like that could even end up there. I emailed Raising Cane’s corporate office right after, but all I got was an automated reply with just a phone number and no real follow-up or action. Completely unacceptable and disappointing.

"Tried the sandwich combo at Raising Cane's in San Jose for the first time this past Sunday, and it was a pleasant surprise! The line wasn't busy at all. My son absolutely loved his box combo, and I can see why-the chicken fingers are so juicy, and that signature Cane's sauce is amazing."

I love this place. They have good service. They treat you where the food is so good. We got the whole sauce from the cup and it’s very good. It’s the most newest raising Cane’s in San Jose and near to my house. It is actually so good. you guys try it.

Surprised by the low rating of this place. I came by to give it a try. For the three chicken finger combo which came out to 13.44 with tax. Order at the counter and pick up at the counter when they call your name. They have loud music playing the whole time. I thought the chicken finger was pretty good with the sauce. 4.5 stars. Outside crispy and inside really moist. Texas toast: meh. Didn't care for it. Not much flavor just carbs. Fries: 2.5 salted. Needs to be dipped with something. Some fries crispy and some felt like it needed more cooking. Enjoyed the sweet tea. Good place for chicken fingers if you exclusively like chicken fingers. If you like variety, not the place for you.

I've gave this place many chances and every time I go I'm disappointed. Lines absurdly long, the wait is ridiculous, the staff are friendly enough. But the food? I pay $14 for a 3 piece chicken combo and I get the smallest pieces, literally the size of my finger. I was given a tender that was clearly ripped in half! Waste of money. I wish I checked before driving away and complained about the size of the chicken. My friend got the same combo and her pieces were a "regular good" size. Crazy! Only like their sauce.

For the billionth time, my child requested for Raising Cane's for lunch. I happily agreed since it meant little effort besides making the drive out. Traffic was pretty terrible given the fact that is it the holiday season and this specific Raising Cane's being located in the same vicinity of Costco and other popular businesses. But!! Parking was a breeze once you get past all of the other cars navigating to the other side of the complex. I eagerly walk in and was greeted with such a warm, friendly smile! Miss Safa is at the register and happily took care of ringing me up. While most people wouldn't bat an eye and such a "normal" encounter, I honestly couldn't help but notice Safa's welcoming and kind vibes- this isn't your average customer service, it was GENUINE!!! While our conversation was long, it was such a delight!! 5/5 Stars for Miss Safa!! You truly brighten up any room!! Thank you for your attentive, kind service and ... the food was pretty damn good too. I'm gonna consider that a big fat W. I'll be back, y'all!!

Had a great time at Raising Cane's! So glad that one finally opened up in San Jose, the first time I tried it was all the way inc Chicago! Now, I don't have to travel so far for some good chicken tenders. I had some free time during my lunch break to drive over and order through the drive through. Despite the long wait, since it's so much traffic in the east side of San Jose, I had a great customer experience with Alisa who was handing the drive through during that time. She had excellent hospitality, engagement through the intercom, and was so friendly when I pulled up to the window. I was truly taken care of - she made sure I had all my sauces, my coleslaw, and asked if I needed ketchup for my fries. So thoughtful! When I got home, I enjoyed the meal. The sauce was so good with the chicken, the bread, and the fries. The coleslaw was a great way to cleanse my palate from the oil. Very filling, crispy and fresh chicken. Would come here again!

IMHO I waited until the grand opening hubbub died down before giving Raising Cane's a try. Yeah, I know it's been 7 months, but I don't do crowds! LOL I was immediately greeted when I entered the establishment, which was very nice. All cash registers were open with no one in line to order. Since this was my first visit to any Raising Cane's I stood back to take in the menu. Previously, all I knew was that they serve chicken fingers. I saw different combo meals available with your number choice of chicken fingers from three to six, and different sides of either Texas Toast, crinkle fries, coleslaw, and a 22 oz. drink. You can also choose the chicken sandwich combo. I suppose one can order a la carte by ordering off the Extras or sides menu. A single chicken finger costs $2.39, crinkle-cut fries, $2.89, Texas Toast, $1.49, and coleslaw for $1.49. You can also get extra Cane sauce for 59 cents. I took my order to go and was thanked as I left. When I got home, some 10 minutes later, I peeked at my boxed lunch and decided that the food would benefit from an air fryer warm-up. I was most impressed that the take-out box has ventilation holes to release the moisture so that your chicken remains crispy and doesn't steam. There is nothing worse than soggy fried chicken! Chicken fingers - 4-1/2 stars, for crispiness, moistness, and tenderness. I liked them especially with the Cane sauce. Texas Toast - 2 stars. I don't get it. One side was toasted; the other side was not. Not tasty at all. Crinkle-cut fries - 2 stars. These are nothing to write home about. Small and thin cut and lacked flavor. Coleslaw - 3 stars. It has a slightly salty taste to it at first bite. I like my coleslaw slightly sweeter. Restaurant looks clean and the dining area is nicely appointed, but I saw few people dining inside. I saw more workers dining inside their cars. Customer service was excellent and friendly. I'm glad I finally tried Raising Cane's. Will I return? Maybe...in a couple of years...

It's cool having a Raising Cane's in our area. At the beginning lines were so long. But the lines moved fast so that was promising. While the hype has died down quite a bit now it's still a great place for lunch. I enjoy their chicken tenders, fries, and Arnold Palmer. Chicken tenders are your basic tenders not seasoned no flavor. Well done every time. Maybe 1-2 out of the many times I've been the fries and chicken could have been fried longer. Fries are your basic fries no seasoning. What ties this food together is the canes sauce. It's what adds all the flavor to the food. Sweet tea is delicious and even better with lemonade. Your basic chicken tenders and a handful of fries always made fresh and hot. At least in all of my experiences. Service is efficient. Do they miss my extra cane sauce half the time so I do look forward to that improving. All in all great to have another chicken option in the ever growing South Bay.

It's my first time trying their chicken and I say it's not bad but I have better ones. The tenders that I got are dry so it's tasteless. The sauce luckily helps to add flavor but it's still disappointing. The fries though were good. I went to their drive thru after getting gas at Costco. The wait is not as bad because they just opened when I went. Will definitely give it a try again especially I like their fries.

Stopped by with no wait or lines now that the hype has died down. First the positives - it's very clean and fun inside, fast & friendly service, plenty of seating and parking. The chicken was hot, fresh, and juicy and of course the Cane's Sauce slaps. The downsides - the chicken isn't very flavorful on its own (that's why the sauce is a must), it's not very crispy (some of the batter was even falling off because it was so juicy), and the value doesn't feel great (almost $9 for 3 fingers and sauce, and I was still hungry). Overall it's decent if you're in the area and if you love their sauce.

The chicken fingers were cooked perfectly, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Texas toast and fries were also freshly made. I am not a huge fan of their coleslaw, so I subbed it for texas toast instead. Cane's sauce paired well with the chicken fingers. The lines are always long and wait times is between 15-25 minutes. Plenty of parking, but it usually gets full quickly. The layout of the drive-thru could have been effectively planned out better, as it is blocking the right side of the parking lot as you enter. Customer was excellent. Indoor and outdoor dining available. The exterior of the restaurant was clean.

Okay, didn't realize there is a raising canes in San Jose now! Such a hip spot for local youngsters and more. The chicken tenders are pretty moist for white meat, and the sauce is kick in! The long can get long, so please make sure to plan accordingly. Love the food, love the ambiance, and concept!

Date: Wednesday, May 14th, 2025 Time: around 9pm Order Type: Drive Thru Caniac Combo ($20.19) *Coke *No condiments When this first opened, the bro in law and I tried a few times to go. It was insanely busy, so we passed and grabbed something else instead. Now that the hype has died down, I finally tried this location. The caniac combo comes with 6 fingers, 2 sauces, fries, toast, and coleslaw. I just tried the chicken strips and fries. On their own, they taste fine. The strips are meaty. I think the sauce is what makes it better. Tho it is very similar to another chicken chain that starts with a C. Glad I finally tried this spot. Was it worth the wait? Probably not. But they have pretty good chicken if you are into the boneless kind. REVIEW #3780

The Oakland location was better. This place has really skimpy chicken sizes... I always get small pieces when I come. Please be more consistent with other Cane's

Located in the Costco complex Got Off a late night flight from SJ airport & daughter loves RC so took a 15 mile trek to get some snacks. Excited to see that it was open & til 2 am??? Drive thru line about 8 or so cars on a Saturday 1030pm & took maybe 15-20 min from ordering to pick up. Food tasted great, too messy to drive and eat as got sauce on my clothes and fingers in the sauce cup trying to dip my fries. Overall, we both enjoyed our food & will be back again to the closest RC.

Love Raising Cane's and was happy to hear that this location opened up! Surprisingly there was no wait on a Sunday lunch and the drive-through was practically empty. Shared the caniac combo (6 piece tenders) which was enough for the two of us and subbed the coleslaw for an extra Texas toast. The combo came with a drink too. Chicken tenders were piping hot and juicy, fries were pretty standard, and Texas toast was good as usual. Pretty solid and would come back!

The food is delicious! The service is good except the paper bag is terrible. It was ripped off every time I ordered the food. I have requested 2 separated bags but the servers denied it. The ambiance is ok.

I am surprised that this Raising Cane's location doesn't have a good reviews. This place is PACKED! It reminds me of the lines for In & Out burgers or Krispy Kreme's Donuts when they first came to the South Bay Area. They have a drive-thru with an attendant to help take orders. My wife and I first tried Raising Cane's years ago in Florida. We didn't think much of it because the chicken fingers were overcooked and dry like we expected. Fast forward to today. The chicken fingers were juicy, moist, and very tender. The breading was ok. It wasn't crisp or crunchy as you would expect. But the chicken was good, especially with the cane's sauce. Sweet Tea - southern style sweet iced tea. The customer service was friendly and efficient. They moved the crowd of people fairly quickly. Overall, 3.5 stars. Rounding up for service and atmosphere. I'll be back.

Let me start off by saying I'm a huge Raising Cane's fan (my favorite location is the Vegas one on the strip). In fact I have been emailing corporate for them to bring an SJ location for over several years now (I think I started doing it in 2016). Well I'm glad they finally brought it over, but there are a ton of "I just came here because of the hype, but the food was hella mid, I don't get the hype!" kinds of people here. I'll just say this: Raising Cane's whole "shtick" is just chicken tenders, done decently (I suppose "done decently" is subjective). If you're the type who has to have a brand new experience every time you try a new food, this isn't for you. If you're familiar with chicken tenders already, and you don't really care that there are institutions out there who are doing chicken tenders slightly differently, again this isn't for you. The thing is, Raising Cane's chicken tenders are supposed to be nicely breaded and slightly more juicy. These aren't overly dried, overly battered chicken tenders from Lyon's diner decades ago. As far as their sauce goes, if you don't like Russian dressing with a hit of Worcestershire and salt n' pepper to taste, you probably won't like it. Now, that's probably as far as I'll go for the glaze job of this location. Aside from that, it kind of a meh experience: - The parking/plaza sucks. There is a 4-way intersection with no stop signs. Great /s - The inside of the restaurant just has terrible feng shui. It becomes immediately crowded and stuffy with only just a handful of customers. They pretty much had carte blanche to architect the store design however way they wanted and they still came up short and still sucks. - They messed up my order. Caniac Combo currently has 6 tenders, I only got 4. Mind you this place only has chicken tenders on their menu, and things only secondary and ancillary to those said chicken tenders. They're not balancing a difficult and broad menu, this shouldn't be happening. Raising Cane's was always a good time for me because I never had one in my own hometown, it was something I always associated with traveling or what not, so I guess you don't get bored of it easily. Now that it's in my hometown it feels like it's sort of lost its luster. However it was probably just because the first time in-store experience was not as great. Things could turn around, you never know.

The box set 3/5 - the tenders got really small from the first few times I've eat at Cane's. The chicken was a bit soggy on the bottom which was so disappointing! We like going to canes because of the crispy tenders but it didn't hit this time. We came around 5pm for dinner and there was no line but after 30 mins there was a huge line. Parking lot is crazy because of the Costco

Definitely worth walking in to order if the drive thru line is busy! My go-to order for Cane's is the Caniac Combo, replacing the coleslaw with extra sauce. Very filling, relatively salty but good enough since it's fast food. Since the sweet tea is super sweet for me, I like to do half unsweetened and sweetened.

I had a lil errand to run in SJ (near Alameda) so then I was like eh why not I'm already halfway there ‍ but then it was 5pm during peak office traffic so my whole trip took over an hour just to get there :(( definitely not very convenient at all in location There's plenty of seating here with both indoor and outdoor. I also do think the quality here is not as good as other Canes spots I've been to. The chicken was not as well seasoned and the toast was also not as crispy :(( I got the 25 pc tailgate and 3 toasts cuz I was like who knows when I'll ever get canes in the bay again

There was a bit of a line when I got there, however their service was pretty quick. Location isn't too big inside but it has a good amount of sitting indoors and outside. Ordered the Caniac combo with their lemonade. The chicken was hot and moist. Of course the sauce was on point and the fries too. The coleslaw is very good but the size is very small. Definitely a good location to revisit when in the area. Solid 4.5 stars

The service was pretty good. They were very attentive however they had some issue with the terminal so we had to wait there for a little bit before ordering The food came out pretty fast however just average I don't remember it being average in other places because I loved the taste of canes the first time I had it Also paid a lot for it so I wouldn't recommend

Glad the line died down for Raising Cane's. It was a lot faster than I expected. I have had Cane's many times and I'll honestly never really get tired of it. Is it the best I've ever had? No but it's solid fast food. Their Texas toast is so light and soft that there's no replacement for it. I've never had a problem with their chicken being dry but I do notice that they're definitely getting smaller. The fries were pretty salty when I got it. The sauce helped with cutting the salt a little bit. I personally like Cane's sauce and there's never enough given in my opinion. For my drink, I got an Arnold Palmer for the first time and it was really good. It does cost a little extra because of the Lemonade. I also love their tiny ice. It's nice to chew on sometimes but it also helps with sweetness.

Tried Raising Cane's and instantly saw the light. Had McDonald's new tenders earlier this week--big mistake. Cane's tenders are hands down the most tender and juicy I've ever had. Not getting tenders anywhere else now. Cane's sauce is kinda mid, though. Not bad, just not life-changing. Honestly not flavorful and it's overhyped. Staff was super friendly and welcomed you in right from the entrance, food came out quick, and the place was clean. Outdoor seating's a plus. Only gripe is the bathroom line--always long. They should throw some hand sanitizer stands outside. Still, for the tenders alone? Game over.

Welcome to San Jose! We decided to try the new Canes as we have visited ones in Nevada and SoCal. We were greeted warmly with a welcome hello and ordered a 3 piece combo to share. We attempted to use a coupon for $10.90 opposed to the $12.29 but the manager could not get it to work. She also stated that the regular price is $10.90 but I said no the board says $12.29. She said she was originally from SoCal where the price is less expensive and was only here to help out. For the price we paid. It is not worth it. Yes the chicken was very moist, not greasy, but did lack flavor. The fingers were small and if we visited another branded chicken establishment we would have been given an extra one due to smallness. The fries were fries that could've been a little bit hotter. The Texas toast was very soft, but it too lacked flavor. I don't know if the toast comes that way or if there is a person in the back that brushes on butter with garlic, but it was minimal. The restaurant was very clean, but our major complaint about the establishment is that the music was extremely loud not only outside but inside. Sorry Canes, no recommendation from us.

Ordered 3 Chicken Finger Combo with Texas toast and crinkle-cut fries (subbed the salad for extra fries) Also grabbed the Chicken Sandwich, which comes packed with three chicken fingers The chicken was tender, but the fingers weren't as hot as I hoped when I picked them up The good thing is the lines have calmed down and no more crazy waits

This for $13... I have never gotten pieces so small.. I feel like this would've been noticed before being handed off...

I stopped by in the morning to avoid the crowds on opening day, and not surprisingly there was already a huge line before opening time, both in the drive thru and at the front door (similar to disneyland). Apparently some people even came in the wee hours, in the rain?!?! They came prepared though, already had workers out there guiding customers, as well as a DJ on site. There was a traffic jam in the plaza, can't imagine how crazy parking will be when Costco is busy too. Once the doors opened, it took a little over an hour to get to the register, so a little slower than other locations I've visited previously in their initial openings. But I brought stuff to do while waiting. And service was sufficient at the order counter, my food was ready in less than 8 minutes. Got the 3 finger combo with extra cane's sauce and no drink. Everything lived up to the quality I expect from this chain. Loved every part of my meal, juicy chicken fingers with a light batter, warm crisp fries, buttery texas toast, and tangy cane's sauce. I didn't encounter any problems worth noting. Also, the restaurant offers plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and of course everything is brand new at this point. Glad to finally have a Raising Cane's closer to home.

Did I just wait 45 minutes in the drive-thru line at Raising Cane's? I sure did. Was it worth it? It was since I was waiting for my laundry to wash and dry LOL. I recently went to Raising Cane's in Hayward and there was no line there and got my order pretty quickly there. I went to the Hayward location so that I can compare the San Jose location in terms of quality and portion size. Today, April 2nd, 2025, is the second day of Raising Cane's in San Jose. I wanted to go yesterday but the line was extremely long. The drive-thru line was very well organized and there are security guards at several checkpoints that do not allow other cars to cut in line. Just an fyi, to get to the drive-thru line, you have to pass the actual restaurant on southbound Capitol Expressway and pass the Costco gas station and then turn right at the sign for the drive-thru. I think this will be temporary as the crowds are very large right now. I ordered two orders of the three-piece chicken combos and requested extra crispy fries. Raising Cane's is notoriously known for their soggy fries. I don't like my fries soggy and I don't know anybody that likes soggy fries. I was in the right lane for the drive-thru but I will try to go in the left lane next time because the left lane was moving much, much, much faster as I saw sometimes four or five cars pass me in the left lane. But anyways, I saw how long the walk-in line was and that was well over 75 people or even longer. I only saw the line on the outside but not on the inside of therestaurant. The chicken fingers were very hot and crispy and also the fries as well. The Texas toast was buttery, toasted and soft. I love the Raising Cane's sauce and I would suggest others to buy an extra cup to dip your toast and fries in it as well. Be careful going through the intersection because there has been very bad car accidents at the intersection. When I was there, there was a very bad car accident there as well. Would I come back? Absolutely because I love Raising Cane's ever since I tried it in Las Vegas for the first time many years ago and then ate it often when I used to live in Southern California. I heard that they open as early as 9:00 a.m. in the morning and as late as 3:30 a.m. on the weekends. You can check the website for more updated operating hours. Staff was working very hard and were very friendly as well.

Came here on 8/17/25 at around 9pm and at 3am woke up to severe food poisoning. So disappointed with this place as we have been here a few times and liked it all the other times. One of the restrooms was out of order and the other one did not have paper towels. They didn't have hot sauce or coleslaw at this time. Tables were a mess, just all around bad. Contacted their customer service and have yet to hear back from them. Manager on the phone also did not seem apologetic and just directed me to corporate. Corporate number does not take calls and directs you to the website.

Whenever I'm in socal, Raising Cane's is one of my favorite places to stop by for a fulfilling meal. I definitely waited until the hype died down because the area can get hectic during rush hours. I opt for the drive thru at night on a weekday to avoid how busy it can get. I usually get the Caniac Combo which is 4 tenders with a side of fries, coleslaw, 1 sauce, and a toast. When I do order this I replace the slaw for extra sauce. This time I got the Three Finger Combo with extra sauce and toast. This came out to $16 (I remembered it being cheaper before but then again it's been a year since I had canes). Their to go boxes have vents so the steam can escape. When I opened my box, the first thing I noticed was the size of my fenders. They were a bit on the smaller and skinner side. The tender was still relatively crispy considering it was to go. The coating is on the drier side which is why you need the sauce, and the interior is slightly juicy. The fries are regular crinkle cut fries that wasn't overly salted. And their sauce is the star of the show. It's like a vinegary thousand island vibe that I enjoy. If you're a dipper with your food, this is where you get to shine because each bite needs a dip of sauce. Pro tip, order your toast BOB (butter on both sides). My big back hack is cutting a piece of toast in the middle and spread it open so I can put in a tender, some fries, and some sauce to make a mini chicken sandwich. Since it's fried chicken, it is carb heavy so I always know I'll get full from their meals. Their drive thru is very similar to chickfika. It has two separate lanes with employees at each line. Next stop is a small building hut for payment. Then driving up and stopping in a mini lot so someone can hand deliver your order to you. I enjoy the satisfaction I get after eating at canes. I'll always enjoy eating their meals but I would not wait an hour just to eat Canes. I hear how disappointed people are and a factor is how much people hype it up. It's not crazy special but it is a great meal to have that (sometimes) is fast.

We don't have Cane's back home in Seattle, so whenever I get the chance I love grabbing some tenders. This time they were just as juicy and reasonably priced as I remember. The fries really hit the spot, lightly salted, crispy, and thanks to the clever bag-and-box setup, not soggy at all. The drive-thru was a little awkward. With two open lanes and one car missing, another big back that sped through the lot ended up getting their food before us, which was kind of funny. The kids working there were friendly and kept things moving. We did request ketchup, but it was missing from the bag, and by the time we noticed it was too late. A quick double-check of orders would be my only feedback, otherwise, they did a good job. We didn't dine in, so I can't speak to the inside, but the drive-thru and parking lot were clean. Based on my visits to Cane's in Oregon, LA, and Denver, I'd bet this location is kept just as well.

Things have slowly started to die down so figured it was a great opportunity to try it out. Place was still kind of busy, but it only took ~15 minutes from ordering to pick up which I think is pretty fast considering the circumstances. Got the caniac combo and I'm just "ok" about it. Fries - 2/5, Extremely overly salted. Toast - 3.5/5 Nothing special, or bad, about it I guess Tenders - 3/5 They are kind of dry on the outside, slightly juicy in the inside, seems like something I'd get from Popeyes so nothing too special either. Sauce - 3.5/5 Maybe my expectations were a bit too high but again, don't really care for it too much. Definitely made the tenders and fries better by reducing the dryness on the tenders, or hiding the salt in the fries. Pricing is average, maybe a bit high for something that is fast-food oriented. Plaza is still a mess due to the drive-thru lines which needs to be fixed. The workers who need to yell out names could probably be replaced with a buzzer or a screen w/ order name/number as it's a bit difficult to hear them over the amount of people inside. Not opposed to coming back, but there's a lot that could be improved.

Yes, I flew my drone to see what the fuss is about. You can see the craziness that is just a 3 minute walk from my house! I live across the expressway so I can't escape the aroma. My wife finally gave in and less than a week of it's grand opening, she waited 32 minutes from the corner of the Costco gasoline station to the end of the drive thru line with our togo order. + Considering the long line, the 30 minutes wait isn't so bad if you're driving electric conserving on gas (4 stars) + We asked for our fries extra crispy and they're fine (4 stars) + My kids loved the Texas toast. They have a light crisp and a soft inside. (4 stars) ~ Cane sauce taste like a creamy and smokey flavored thousand island dressing (3 stars) ~ Cole slaw is a small side taste very sweet and nothing to brag about (3 stars) ~ We got sweet tea with half sweetened and I thought it was just right in terms of sweetness (3 stars) ~ Chicken is tender with a breading that gives off a light crunch. I don't get the excitement over this chicken. My kids like it and I'm just OK. (2.5 stars) About the chicken, it really didn't do it for me. Maybe it's the togo order. I felt like it wasn't crunchy enough. My daughter raved at how the breast meat is very tender and juicy. I didn't taste any special spice or flavor in the breading. I may try again, but I'll wait for the crowd to die down.

GRAND RAISING CANES opening today walk in or drive thru I have always gotten raising canes when I visit family in Fresno . Today was the grand opening here in SAN JOSE and after waiting 30 minutes ordered both a small chicken strip meal and a large chicken strips meal it's soo fresh and delicious and the Texas toast is always fluffy and fresh sooo delicious $30.00 fir both meals but so worth it the servers have always been very friendly if you have never tried canes chicken I can promise once you try you will be a repeat customer

The food overall was kinda mid, gotta admit, but I really enjoyed the sauce--it definitely stood out as the highlight. The fries, on the other hand, were drenched in salt and dried out my lips. The chicken surprised me though; I was expecting it to be dry, but it turned out to be pretty juicy and flavorful, which I really appreciated. As for the service, it was honestly amazing. The girl who took our order was super sweet and friendly

I am a big fan of raising canes, the sauce in particular. This location sometimes gives the smallest size tender and forgets the fries so be sure to check your order! They have two lines for drive through, outdoor seating along with indoor. It's located next to Costco and Starbucks which is great.

It got better ngl after all that hype. The food wasn't over salty and the chicken tenders were actually a lot better this time. The tenders were fresh and has a nice fluffy crunch to it. The service was much better the line was fast and so was the food coming out. Tenders were still kinda small but it was better this time around

We came to Raising Cane's on a Saturday night and placed our order at 9:30 PM, but didn't receive it until 10:10 PM, 10 minutes past our scheduled pickup time. I'd recommend placing your online order at least 30-40 minutes in advance because they are VERY busy! The drive thru had over 50 cars, and the line inside was just as packed. Honestly, I'm not sure why people don't order ahead online and rather wait over an hour in line but that's just me. Cane's is pretty mediocre, but I do love their toast and sweet tea! Definitely ask for your toast buttered on both sides. I left a note in my order to butter both sides, but they were probably too busy to notice :( They also gave us lemonade instead of sweet tea so we had to go back and get it ourselves...

Grand opening today! First one in San Jose! Long lines for inside and for drive thru! We waited over 2 hours in the drive thru but that was to be expected since it was there grand opening! Drive thru service was fantastic! Being so busy, it looked like the staff was calm and collected! Very friendly and attentive with taking our order! Now for the food! I ordered the maniac combo! It's gonna run you about $20! Comes with 6 pieces of chicken, fries, bread, cole slaw, sauce! The chicken was OK. I bit dry to be honest but not bad! You must use the sauce with it! That's where you get the full Raising Cane experience! The sauce is so good and my favorite of this meal! The fries were crispy! The bread was nice a toasted! Ask for butter on both sides (BOB) The cole slaw was OK! Overall experience was 4 stars! My takeaways were the service, and the bread and sauce for the win

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.

Finally gave this location a try hoping the hype had died down a bit. Lines are shorter than when they opened, but still expect a wait. I've had several other locations, so this was as good as expected. Great tenders and sweet tea. Not a 5 star since the combos are now venturing outside of fast food prices.

The reviews are true. This place is totally fine but Only if you like chicken with sauce. If you're expecting great breading with flavor on the fried chicken, you'll be horribly disappointed. The sauce is 90% of the flavor so if you don't like their sauce, it's not good. The wait isn't that long anymore and the service is okay. It's very loud inside so you may want to eat outside.

Post concert meal. Overall, I don't understand the hype of this place when other delicious chicken shops exist around the Bay. It's comparable to any other chicken tender you get at restaurants.

Limited menu with bland flavors. Fast and friendly service and clean spacious dining area. I came for the food, not the dining area tho. Not coming back.

I've been a long time fan of Raising Cane's when I lived in SoCal, so hearing that it was coming to the bay area where my hometown is, I was excited! The service at Cane's continues to be phenomenal and consistent throughout all the locations I've visited. You're greeted as you walk in and if you're dining in, they're always checking in with you. We got the caniac combo this time and the quality is consistent with the other locations! I always love substituting the coleslaw for extra fries, and they're generous with it. My only critique here is that the tenders are smaller than what I'm used to getting. However, the chicken is still really crispy and tender on the inside. In terms of the ambiance, yes it does get busy but that's to be expected at any new popular place that comes in town. I think it's still a great place for a late night meal because they're open later than most places!

I'm so excited that there's a Raising Cane's near me! I hadn't been to one in years, so I was really happy to see one in San Jose. I waited a few months for the lines to die down before I finally went. The food is just as good as I remember from any Raising Cane's. My go-to order is the box combo, which comes with four chicken tenders--it's the perfect meal for me. I always pair it with my usual sweet tea. But the real stars of the meal are the Raising Cane's sauce and the Texas toast. Dipping the Texas toast in the sauce is a complete game changer!

Decided to try this location during my lunch. Crazy I know but I took an early lunch and was in the drive thru line by 11:30 and was barely the 3rd car in line. Since I got wind that this location was going up in the same shopping center as Costco I thought "well that is going to be interesting". Everyone knows that Costco's should be in their own shopping center or at the very least it as well as it's parking lot should inhabit majority of the real estate. If you've ever been to Costco you know why I say that. Anywho, there I was. In line. Ready with my order because drive thru etiquette is a thing people! I ordered a 3pc with fries, texas toast and an arnold palmer. There is a window before you get to the food window where the lady gave me my drink and then asked me to pull forward. Where I waited maybe 2 minutes after the gentleman confirmed my name. So it went pretty smoothly. Chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Sauce was on point. Toast was toasting and the arnold palmer was as refreshing as could be. Service and pleasantries: 10/10 Food: 10/10 I'll add the 5th star when I dine inside and check out the bathroom ;-).

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.
