Raising Cane’s is OK!

Went to Raising Cane’s (RC hereafter) last Friday morning. No line at the time and very helpful and polite folks to take the order. I ordered THE BOX COMBO and THE SANDWICH COMBO.

The Good:

The chicken in the tenders and on the sandwich was perfectly cooked, moist and properly seasoned. Really well prepared The bun on the sando was fresh and had a nice texture and held together well. Cane’s house sauce was very tasty, kinda a mayo-ketchup combo with a strong hit of Old Bay seasoning The quality and freshness of the ingredients was good.

The OK:

The crinkle cut friends had good texture (see the Bad for the caveat)

The Texas toast had some crispy bits

The breading on the chicken was not over fried, oily or soft

The toppings on the sandwich weren’t too goopy and provided the right amount of lube.

The Meh:

The breading was not as crispy as I like it- personal preference

The breading had very little flavor.

Fries were under-seasoned

The Texas toast was bland

The sando needed acid-like pickles or something.

The Bad:

No obvious offerings of other sauces to spice things up.

The meal suffered in texture on the drive home, bad for a to-go place.

Overall, I found it to be ok. If someone was buying, I would say yes and enjoy it. The overall quality for fast food was very good and the service was nice. For myself, I’d put it under In-N-Out and Popeyes* but over most other fast food in town. I wouldn’t wait in a big ass line for it.

*I really like Popeyes spicy sandwich, although it was not trying to directly compare it to RC’s. I love In-N-Out, except for their to-go fries.

What does r/Chico think?
