    They are great and have never messed up an order! Always remember all sides/substitutions even in the drive through.

    To be completely honest, it was not very good. My buddy and I both got a burrito and a drink, it was $30. Not worth the money spent.

Good quality chicken. 'The Box' which their smallest combo meal for $12.50 including tax is enough for two people certainly. The fries were good. The coleslaw was good as well. I will certainly be back here.

It was always busy every time I stopped in. With my new kidney, I wanted to be cautious with the amount of people I'm around. Now that Raising Canes has been open for a hot minute, I felt like the crowd to be a lot smaller and safer for me to be inside the dining area. Greg helped us today at the register. He was really patient with us since it was my husband's first time eating there. I snagged the 3 piece naked combo and my husband got the chicken sandwich. He is a cheese lover so he was bummed that he couldn't add cheese to his sandwich but he still had high hopes that it will be good. My husband's meal did come out first. For some reason they dropped the ball on my meal. There were quite a few people that got their meals ahead of me that ordered after us. I wasn't sweating it but I knew Greg was on top of it. As soon as my food was ready, Greg hand delivered my meal which was nice since they usually call you up to grab your food. It was nice that Greg made sure we were aware that he didn't forget about me. What I noticed last time I ate at RC was how small the tenders were when you ordered them naked. I only got the tenders last time and at 2 bucks a tender, I really felt like I was being ripped off. Today I got the 3 piece naked but was given 4 pieces of chicken. Honestly, I don't know if I got the extra piece of chicken for them dropping the ball or because the chicken tenders were small. I guess the next time we come in, that will answer my million dollar question. While we were eating, Greg dropped off another sandwich meal for us to take home. He wanted to make sure that our experience was good since it was my husband's first meal there. I appreciate that Greg went above and beyond to make sure we left happy. The customer service Greg gave us today was fantastic! Only if all customer service can be like Greg's. I know a lot of businesses would prosper! I enjoyed the vibe of RC. The dico balls, the music and the chill atmosphere of the joint. It was fun experiencing all of that with my husband. My chicken was tender. The fries were crispy and salty. I got to see what the hype was all about with the bread and Canes sauce. I'm happy I waited to eat inside so I can actually get the whole experience. I look forward to coming back and having more naked tendies.

I was…read moreimmediately impressed by the friendly, high-energy staff who helped me navigate the menu with ease. The Food: I opted for the 4-tender Classic Meal. The tenders themselves were the star--super juicy, never overcooked, and featuring a breading that puts other fast-casual spots to shame. The fries had a great seasoned crunch, and the Texas toast was the perfect accompaniment. I also highly recommend the peach tea; it's blended perfectly so it's flavorful without being overly sweet. The Sweet Finish: You have to try their house-made Jar Desserts! I had the seasonal banana pudding, and it was nostalgic, creamy, and delicious--tastes just like what grandma used to make. Exceptional Service: What really set this visit apart was the management. While I was finishing my meal, the manager personally came by to collect my trash and thanked me for coming in. He even gave me a card for a free Slim's Wrap for my next visit! That kind of genuine hospitality is rare and keeps me coming back. The Vibe: The restaurant is spotless and bright. I love that they offer a mix of booths and tables, plus a patio for outdoor dining. They also have a quick drive-thru if you're on the go. Great prices, amazing flavors, and stellar service. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

I ordered the #1 combo, which was the double cheeseburger, fries, and a drink. The food was fresh, the burger was good, but I wish it was seasoned a little better. The french fries were crispy and I had a side of fry sauce. They were good and the meal was hardy. I would like to try more menu items and possibly give the place a higher rating.

With it being warmer today, I was hoping the extended area was going to have it's big garbage type windows open. Pulling up, I noticed that the big garage doors were open! It was a little chilly out but the sun was shining and beautiful. We walked in and placed our order with the sweet gal at the register. I grabbed a table facing the parking lot. You can feel a nice breeze going through the dining area. It was a little chilly but I'm looking forward to when it's a little warmer out sitting in the same spot. For dinner we ordered a bunch of fun things. My husband grabbed the McCafferty sandwich and a raspberry/blackberrymilkshake. I got some mozzarella sticks, a homemade corndog and a cherry lemonade. I enjoyed the batter on the mozzarella sticks and corndog. It was night and airy! The cheese pull on the mozzarella sticks was great! My corndog was fried to perfection. I loved that the cherry lemonade had pieces of cherry in it. It wasn't grenadine syrup that most places use. I did have a little of the shake. It was so good! It was very thick and had bits of berries in it. Everything was so good tonight. Happy we came here for dinner tonight. We got a good meal and we supported a local business. It was great to see other people out enjoying their food like we did. Looking forward to our future visit to Big Bun.

After eating here, we should have came here instead of having the pizza. It was later in the afternoon when we came in so it was pretty chill. I I did creep out the menu online so I had a general idea of what I wanted. My husband is pretty predictable so he automatically knew what he wanted. So for lunch I got the 7" pepper steak and my husband got the 7" steak classic with no onions. We both got extra meat instead on getting a bigger sandwich. Yo, this sandwich was so good! My meat was cooked perfectly and not dry! It had a ton of jalapenos and banana peppers. It was cheesy and savory. The bread was soft and not dense. Every bite of it was so good! Not gonna lie, the jalapenos were creeping up on me towards the end. They were getting spicy! I might do half the jalapenos next time. The banana peppers added a nice acid to the sandwich. I polished that baby off and was so full! Well, as full as I was, this joint does offer ice cream. Of course we had to grab some! So, my husband and I grabbed a single scoop of cookies and cream on a sugar cone. It was a decent sized scoop. The gal that scooped it did have a hard time scooping it, it was kinda hollow in the middle. But, it was honestly enough ice cream without officially putting me into food coma. The gals that helped up were really nice! The Phillies here are killer good! The venue is open and spacious. Huge tvs on the wall would make this joint fun during football season!

Someone quickly came to the register with a huge smile and great attitude, patiently waiting while my husband and I scoured the menu. He ordered the 7" classic and I ordered the 7" supreme without mushrooms. We didn't have to wait long before they served us two piping hot sandwiches and a large fries. The sandwich was so hot that the cheese melted onto the paper, but when I carefully pulled the paper from the sandwich, it revealed this lovely melted mess of cheese, onions, steak, peppers and mayo. It was the epitome of gluttonous glory. The bun was soft, yet sturdy enough to hold all that gluttony. I eagerly dove in and was surprised on how much I enjoyed the combo of flavors. I thought it lacked a little salt, black pepper or something to make the sandwich "zing". But everything tasted fresh and was overall a very filling and delicious meal. The crinkle cut fries were hot, fresh and perfectly cooked. Liked the fry sauce as well. Honestly, I've never had a real cheesesteak sandwich before so I'm not sure how valid my review is in general. That said, I really liked our time at Bruchi's.
