Raisin chain is basically the same old chicken with bread,fries and some sauce you're given the basics when it comes to food options, but after a long day of hitting the books and studying for that last exam in college, the last thing you wanna do is worry about what you have to cook. I'm always there looking for something basic in raising Cane's and has always given me that option. The food tastes all right just saying the words okay I don't feel like cooking today.

Ordered food anyways and proceeded to wait with a dozen other people who were still waiting for their food.

There were old fries sitting in bin and dirty rags where the burgers coming out. Landing on the rags and your buns just sitting next to more wet and dirty rags.

The meat options were very dry and sad looking so I chose the freshest looking one, the chicken. I also added peppers, pico, lettuce, cheese, salsa, and like an avocado ranch sauce.

Also maybe getting food closer to opening would guarantee better meat options.

Very authentic flavors. I was feeling wimpy and ordered a frozen strawberry margarita instead of my normal on the rocks too shelf marg - it was so good and so BIG and refreshing after a long day being outside. My only ding was that the women's restroom wasn't super clean and there was lots of water on the floor. After half a margarita, I almost slipped and feel going in and out of the ladies room. The restaurant was busy so I suspect this was not normal and just the result of a busy rush. We will definitely be back!

My wife wasn't a big fan of the rice, but she said the ground beef was excellent. My meal tasted fresh, especially the vegetables, and the queso and salsa were both outstanding.
