Though I went to one during current times at it wasn't nearly as good pre-COVID

it's alright, used to date a lady who was obsessed with it. the pro move is to sub the fries for toast, I've been told. sauce is pretty boss.

Cane's is okay in a pinch. Bland chicken, grade school cafeteria quality fries, the slaw is edible I suppose and the sauce is pretty bitchin. Even if it is just Mayo, Worcestershire, Pickle Juice and Pepper. Oh and the Texas Toast is really good too.

I worked at one that opened up in my city, it was insane when we opened and slowed down after like 3 months. The food is decent, but working there is pretty insufferable. It's really easy to make your own chicken, it's a pretty simple brine and batter recipe.

There's no pickle juice in it, but add ketchup and that's basically it and every other fry sauce.

You sure about the pickle juice, it sure as hell tastes like there's pickle juice in it. It also tastes a lot different from "fry sauce" (mayo and ketchup) that I've had.

edit: I see the recipe was apparently leaked by an ex-employee. I guess the Garlic Salt plus the vinegar in the ketchup was what was making me thing pickles.

Raising Canes is so drat good, thank you for starting this thread. When I lived in LA my friends and I would plan trips to Vegas under the guise of 'enjoying Vegas' but it was really because that's where the closest Canes was. Would have turned done a turn around trip for it though

I enjoy their food but have heard the company culture is bordering on a cult so I'd like to hear more about this.

I've worked a cult-like manufacturer in the past and I guess I compartmentalized a lot of the similarities between the two companies. I'd wager training at a store before it's open is vastly different than getting hired on afterwards, since they gave us written tests, lectures, and a novel sized handbook. Of the more trivial things we were required to learn was the significance of all the tacky poo poo they put in the restaurant, the disco ball, the hard hard (which we all had to autograph), something else, and story about the namesake dog. The company that owns the franchise for that store owns all the stores in the AZ/NV region so the hands-on trainers come from different stores within their domain, so pretty average people. The management seemed to be cut from a different cloth entirely, the top brass was elder millennial/late gen-x trust fund kids, below them was the store management who would be safely described as aggressively frat-bro chic. They put an emphasis on younger, extroverted, white tattooed management which in itself is pretty innocuous, but I think they really engage their style of management as well. Inside the kitchen they installed a Bose sound system for BOH, which sounds awesome on paper but terrible when you can't communicate orders over Hey Ya being played at concert level. Between that and the store props we had to learn about my impression was a company that is grossly insecure about its youthful image, they want to balance being a cool vibrant place for kids to eat chicken tendies at and a wholesome place for old people who just want fried chicken in their maws. Had I stuck it out longer I'm sure more alarming things would have popped up, but that was my experience after 8 months.

I also love soggy fries and breaded chicken that has breading that completely sloughs off of the chicken as soon as you bite into it.

The sauce is good though.

College Slice
My coworker and I went to Cane's so much during their contest with the stickers you peeled off the cups. We both ended up with enough letters to get winner winner chicken dinner t shirts. Also, when I worked in a restaurant in college, when it got slow, I would try to duplicate the Cane's sauce. My exwife has a cousin that worked as a manager at Cane's but he refused to give up the recipe. I'm from south Louisiana so I know the sauce is just a basic remoulade, but I could never get it right. All the recipes online to clone it are totally wrong.

Hearing about the cult like practices there is nuts because the original Cane's is a hole in the wall nasty looking joint right off of LSU's campus. There's like 6 booths and it's dark and ratty. Nothing like the franchises you see around now.

I do wish one of the chicken finger places in the South (Zaxby's, PDQ, Cane's, etc) would find their way up here in the North. Stuck with Chik-Fil-A and the closest substitute to those 3 is a food truck that mainly parks in downtown so it's already a pain to order.

They should get rid of the cole slaw because everyone asks to replace it with more toast/sauce/fries.

Bumping this thread from literally a year ago to say that I finally went to a Raising Cane's yesterday. Slaw was lame, fries were lame, toast was dope, sauce was dope, tenders were aight.

The most impressive part was that by the time I was halfway done filling my cup with sweet tea they had already called my name.

Either way I was happy to try a place that I can't get locally and it fueled me for my 6 hour car trip.

i like caine's fries okay. they are usually a little too salty which is what i really want in a fry. last time i went the toast was kind of dry and overcooked and not good which has never happened to me before

the secret to caine's is that you have to eat it RIGHT NOW or it gets soggy and gross. ideally you eat inside because even being in a box for 2 minutes at the drive through makes those tendies noticeably less good. If you must drive-thru, get that box open and let the steam out and eat it ASAP in the parking lot, don't wait till you get home.

Slaw: gotta salt and pepper it yourself, lots of pepper
Fries: lame as hell, like they have a six minute cycle on the fryer but staff is trained to pull them after four
Toast: I remember a day when BOTH SIDES of the toast were buttered and grilled and it was amazing, now all you get is a soft piece of bread that tastes vaguely grilled
Sauce: dope, I cannot deny this
Tenders: good quality chicken, never have had any gristle or fatty tenders at Canes, but like the fries, it always seems like they were pulled from the fryer too early. As I posted earlier, too often you bite into one and pull off like 2/3 of the "crispy" breading

Their fries are basic but so many places have fries I don't like now that a basic fry is fine for me.

if your menu is as limited as Cane's you have to knock out of the park with each item on there. and they don't! not afraid to say it!

the fries are inexcusable.

i love me some texas toast though.

Cane's is my secret crack. Maybe it's the high salt content, but can't get tired of it. It's one of the few tendies I tolerate. Also never order the coleslaw, always replace that poo poo.

This, it's quite apparent how fast they turn to mush especially if you don't immediately open that box.

The Great Twist
We have a regional chain called Mr. Hero and they have waffer (waffle) fries. A few years ago, I went to leave after ordering take out and crumpled the paper bag over at the top and the manager said to leave it open or the fries will get soggy from the steam by the time I got home. I have taken him at his word and done it whenever I get fries anywhere. Seems to work though.

E: To keep this on Raining Canes, my son makes me take him every time he is on my side of town. I have never gotten it, but I tried the sauce and it is good. He always throws the slaw away, so I assume that it is bad.

I think the point of Raising Canes is that the chicken is simply a convenient conveyance method for the gallons of sauce you're supposed to use. Thus, why focus on making good chicken?
