Raising Cane's - The big lie

Dude what the hell is wrong with this place, nothing I see on the menu is as advertised.

I get done with a long walk and I got this hankering for chicken fingers, and lo and behold there’s this place down the street called, “Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers” which seems to be exactly what I was craving!

But I take one look at the menu and nothing here even remotely resembles chicken fingers. These just look like chicken breast meat deep fried in batter or something.

WTF is going on here?

Mmmm. Chicken feet!

After Colonel Sanders went tits up, the owner of Raising Cane’s took his seat on the Pentaverate, controlling the world. Oh, I hated the Colonel with is wee beady eyes, and that smug look on his face. “Oh, you’re gonna buy my chicken! Ohhhhh!”

I love Raising Cane’s! The strips are so good! Baton Rouge was where they got started, so I had them fairly often when I was in grad school.

Exactly how it is at my house. I mean, I’ll eat there, but I have never suggested going there.

I hate how high calorie it is, but, it’s a tasty occasional errands lunch.

They opened one on campus when I was in college. I don’t think it was ever cheap food, but back then you could get a 4 finger combo for $6 or so, which was in line with a Chipotle burrito. It was good eating without breaking the bank. I basically lived on Chipotle, Cane’s, BW3’s (the old dive bar original location!) wing special nights, and McDonald’s when I was especially poor - could get a double cheeseburger and a small fry for $2.

i like canes. would need larger pants if I ate there a lot. have learned to maximize the order (duh, actuary) and get the max value of $/chciken strip. have learned to not eat the whole thing in one sitting.

I thought it was Waffle House where you needed to be armed.

What’s your maximized order? Sharing is caring.

I suppose once Canada becomes the 51st state Cane’s will expand here. Can hardly wait for one to open near me. One more advantage of union. :thinking:

every place is different, but it was never the 3 piece combo. so either the 4 piece or 6 piece (and if you value the fries somehow bc the 6 piece brings a lot of fries)

I always swap out the coleslaw for extra sauce. Probably not the best value option, but the sauce goes well with everything else.

If I decide to eat Cane’s it’s bc my family wants it. I’ll order the 6 pc and split with hubby: I’ll take 2 & he gets 4. Extra Texas Toast. I’ll skip the overpriced drink if I’m just bringing it home.

I like chicken fingers, but try not to eat them too often. I never get too excited about fast food though. It’s usually going to be a let down.

I ate at yet another place specializing in chicken tenders recently called Huey Magoo’s. It was decent enough for fast food too.
