I've been to raising canes before. Back when I was in Kentucky haven in Lexington Kentucky, woweee…read morethat raising canes was good. French Crinkels fried to perfection and crust to the bite yes with salt. Chicken tenders mmm juicy and had a distinct crucnh to it. Bread was soft and coleslaw mmm mmm fresh. That was the experience every time. And when I saw there was a canes here I jumped...well more like hopped because knee replacement and arthritis can lock my knees up and then I wouldn't be able to go to canes let alone enjoy it because it would hurt my joints more because of--oh my here I go rambling on tangents sorry sorry...where was I...oh yes, back to this. I was excited to see there was a canes here. While the service here is phenomenal--especially the young woman who always has the most intricate and absolutely stuninh nails, yes she is kind, the food is not quite the Kentucky Raisin I was raised on HA! Chicken tenders are good, but lack the crunch. They seem more breaded and soggey. Fries are a bit limp as well...but my recent visit led me to disappointment as it seems my carry out box was not secured,, I took a left to get back on carl d pkwy and well...all my contents fell out. Sigh. My Volvo enjoyed the meal at least, and I got a tender and fries and of course the best lemonade ever so it was not bad enough to leave a unpleasant taste in my tongue thank you i will be back maybe later yes. I didn't go inside I don't know what the ambiance is like ok sorry.

There stood a cheerful young lady with a tablet beside the speaker box, hustling orders with the urgency of an air traffic controller at Reagan National. Now I will give them this -- they move people through faster than a tax refund disappears in Washington. I ordered three chicken finger baskets and repeated "unsweetened tea" enough times that it should have become part of the permanent record. Reconfirmed it at the second window too. We were in and out in four minutes flat, carrying enough Styrofoam and paper sacks to feed a Little League team. Six minutes later at home, the first sip of tea hit like liquified hummingbird feeder. That "unsweetened" tea had enough sugar in it to put the city of Fredericksburg on insulin monitoring. Somewhere in that kitchen a man clearly believes every Southerner measures tea sweetness by whether the spoon can stand upright in the cup. Then came the fries. Lord help us. These were pale, limp crinkle fries that looked less "fresh fried" and more "recently thawed beside a space heater." Not a hint of crispness. No golden-brown glory. Just soft potato strips lying in the tray like they had accepted defeat long before reaching the fryer. The chicken itself? Tiny little one-inch strips hiding under enough crunchy batter to qualify as exterior siding. Crispy, yes. Generous, no. More breading than bird. The Texas toast arrived soggy enough to make you wonder if it had been steamed instead of toasted. Calling that "Texas toast" is an insult to a state that once fought a war over standards. The lone survivor in this culinary rodeo was the sauce. That special sauce is carrying the entire franchise on its back like a weary mule climbing Pike's Peak. I finally asked my grandson if he had eaten there before. He admitted he had not. He'd simply been told it was great and figured nobody could really mess up chicken fingers and fries. Well. Humanity continues to innovate. Strike Raising Cane's from the regular rotation unless it is 2:00 in the morning, every other restaurant in Virginia is dark, and your soul is screaming for fried chicken through the fog of poor decisions.

It's a cozy and small location but you feel welcomed and apart of the community as soon as you seat. Recommend beating the rush hours for any meal as they're generally packed but worth waiting.

When I was able to make a visit, this small restaurant has limited seatings but manageable. You walk up to the counter, order your food selection and they will bring it out to you. You can dine in or take out. If you don't mind a little wait since everything is made fresh. I ordered 7 items: 1) Lengua taco 2) Chicken taco 3) Cubana sandwich 4) 1/4 Chicken 5) Plantains 6) Cactus salad 7) Cucumber drink. The 1/4 chicken was tender, juicy and well seasoned. The two sides ordered was plantains and cactus salad. The plantains were perfectly fried. The cactus salad was unique and surprisingly amazing. It is definitely a OMG level good. Everything on that platter was delicious. The two tacos were very tasty but what made it different was their freshly homemade corn tortillas. Between the lengua (tongue) and chicken, I prefer the lengua because unlike most lengua I've tasted in taco form, these were much tender, juicy and cut bigger than most. The flavors got more concentrated as I took more bites. When the cubana sandwich arrive to the table, I was totally surprised of how ginormous it was. According to the photo it look nothing like it but turn out to be a torta. This torta can feed 4 people if cut into quarters but unfortunately this item fell flat for me. It just had so much components and they were all bland. It had breaded beef, breaded chicken, fried egg and four other ingredients. It just made the whole sandwich very dry. They had three unique drinks: cucumber with lime, horchata and hibiscus. I selected the cucumber with lime, it was very refreshing and soothing. They also had other variety of drinks in the refrigerator. The restaurant was clean, cozy and filled with some decor. They also had a small table in the dining area with all the essential items such as napkins, plastic utensils, hot sauces and to go containers for your convenience. I had impeccable service from my server/ cashier Alexandra. She was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. I will definitely make another visit to try other items on their menu.

This was second visit, and was every bit as good as the first. See my original for more details…read more Had the chicken and rib tacos again. This time tried their cucumber lime drink. Very good and refreshing. Tacos again were excellent. Can really tastes the charcoaled chicken. I do not buy chicken tacos anywhere else. These are that good. Again, these are big, well filled tacos... one is enough for the average appetite. This time I didn't order any sides, just didn't need one, and the total was under $14 including tax. I think this is pretty good value, especially considering they will refill your drink. I got the horchata with my refill, it was great too. Everyone here was very nice and appreciative. This place is doing everything right. I hope the community gives them a chance. They deserve to thrive.

We ordered the Perfect Platter: 2 eggs, 2 sausages, and two slices of French toast (one person had plain French toast, the other ordered it blueberry-stuffed). We also ordered a side of whole wheat toast and home fries. Washed it down with plain coffee. The best tasting item on the table was the toast. There wasn't much flavor in anything else. The French toast was mediocre. The home fries were also flavorless. The coffee was bitter. We ate at a cheap, popular national breakfast chain yesterday and found that to be more flavorful than this place. I wish this place well, but the next time I'm in VA, I'll be heading back to the cheap national breakfast chain.

Wasn't sure I wanted to have fried food at first but so glad I decided to try it anyway. It turned out to be one of the best food trucks we'd had. Ordered whiting with fries - the portion was huge with 3 pieces of fish in a tasty, dry and non greasy batter - which softened a bit on the way so not as crispy but still very good. As prices go it was a great deal at $10 - given the substantial amount of food I still had one piece of fish plus a bunch of fries left, enough for a bonus lunch tomorrow. Only thing for improvement: they should substitute paper containers for the styrofoam boxes which are not suitable for piping hot fried food like this as parts of the boxes were totally melted through by the heat.
