Raising Cane's is the fast-food spot that proves sometimes simplicity is the secret. This popular chain has built a cult following around a very focused menu: perfectly crispy chicken fingers, crinkle-cut fries, coleslaw, buttery Texas toast, and their legendary Cane's sauce. The box combos are where the value really shines. You get a great deal on a satisfying meal where everything works together. The chicken is always reliably good, and that signature sauce, a creamy, tangy, slightly peppery blend is what ties it all together. It's delicious for dipping not just the chicken, but also the fries and that excellent, soft Texas toast. The fries themselves hit that sweet spot of being crispy without being greasy. A word to the wise: the lines can get seriously long, as it's a hugely popular spot. The absolute best move is to order ahead through their app to skip the wait, which makes grabbing a quick and easy meal a total breeze. Overall, it's a consistently good, decently-priced meal for when a fried chicken craving strikes. Just a heads-up that all that fried goodness, while tasty, can sometimes feel a bit heavy on the stomach, but for most it's a small price to pay for that specific comfort food fix. read more

I had never been to this restaurant before, but I walked in knowing the food is one of those things people love or don't really give AF about. The atmosphere is nice. The service was nice and she didn't look at me like a weirdo when I ordered my kid's meal (I am only greedy in moderation....lol). The chicken tastes like nothing and its fried. The sauce tastes like what, why and how much sodium is in this shyt! The fries were pretty salty too, so dipping the fries in the sauce was an absolute NO for me. Would I come back here....LMAO....for what? I make much better chicken at home and it doesn't taste like a salt lick. read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Chicken Shop Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

My favorite place for chicken fingers. They do one thing and they do it well. Love the sauce and chicken fingers and the fries and the cole slaw and the Texas toast. This location has awesome staff. They remind me of Chik-Fil-A because they're so customer focused. They greet you and they are very friendly. Compare this to Shake Shack or Chipotle, where the staff is usually have conversations and banter behind the line... while making it seem like customers are an inconvenience. Cane's is the best fast food in my opinion. It's my go-to place for chicken fingers. I always order extra sauce and extra fries. read more

Average tasting chicken fingers. White meat chicken and cooked decently. By the time you take this home, it's not crispy anymore. Easy to order, especially in bulk like this 25 piece party pack. I didn't go inside, so can't speak on the ambiance. Parking is a nightmare in Copley, but not impossible. Order via app makes things easy. read more

This place was amazing! New guy working up front who was being helped by another staff member, but they were super nice. It was my brother and I's first time here, but the chicken was crispy, juicy, and delicious and the fries were good as well. The canes sauce just takes it over the top. Check out this place in the Back Bay neighborhood in Boston! read more

The chicken was so good and the Canes sauce did not disappoint! My only complaint is how chaotic this location is. Even when I was at my seat I felt like there were people basically sitting on my lap due to how close they were to me. It makes sense for the location though and it wouldn't stop me from going back. The food is just too damn good. Maybe next time I'd do an online order though! read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Chicken Shop Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

This was my second time visiting this location. I used to go to the Raising Cane's by BU but this one is way closer to me and more convenient to go to. This location is much cleaner and not as cluttered as the other one. Seems to always be a line here & super busy but the line, fortunately, does move quick! The chicken tenders I got were great. Not dry at all. I usually don't touch the fries. I'm not really a fries person to begin with but Cane's fries aren't anything special. Plenty of seating here, even if it is super packed with people. Parking can be a bit tricky since it's on Boylston. There's meter parking around, as well as parking garages, of course. read more

I've always wanted to try raising cane's and had to jump at the chance while visiting Boston. The location was very busy. I had to wait in a small line to order. I went with a kids meal, which gets you two chicken strips, side sauce, and a drink. I wanted to try the lemonade and had to pay an up charge to do so. The decor was fun. The table I sat at had disco balls above and illuminated my food as I ate my food was served to me relatively fast. Everything was hot and fresh. I enjoyed my food. The fries were basic in my opinion. Nothing special, your average fast food fries I wish they were a little better. The chicken strips are where it's at. I could see myself coming back for more if we had one locally. Paired with the signature sauce, it was a delightful combo. I'm not sure what the sauce was but it was the perfect combination of spice and savory flavor. Lemonade was sweet and refreshing. I hope we get a Raising Cane's in my town. read more

If you're starving and in the area, it will do. If you eat the chicken immediately after ordering, dip the sauce, munch on that Texas toast, it ain't half bad. But if you're taking it home or ordering online, just don't. Chicken gets soggy real fast. Place is usually packed, but about as clean as any other fast food. It's a bit expensive for the quality but it will satisfy the cravings. read more

Absolutely worst customer service. Treating customers like scum. They think that they sit in high throne and all customers should be grateful fir getting what they paid for. Sad locations. Fish rotting fr I m the head. Management sucks. They think that they have the market segment locked in Wrong Many other options available read more

It's pretty good. The tenders are juicy and tender. The batter often is a bit soggy. The fries are nothing special. The coleslaw is nothing special. The garlic bread is a highlight. The highly touted sauce is basically heavily spiced (not spicy) mayo with some sort of thinning liquid... delicious, with the texture/viscosity of a bottled ranch or blue cheese but with cajun spices. The actual space is packed with college kids and has features like a disco ball. It's hard to get a seat and delivery drivers are a constant presence. Overall, it's decent but not great and you'll be paying for -- and enjoying -- a location on Boylston in Boston. read more

The fingers, succulent I could taste the age of the chickens as they were plucked from their extremely small pens. I could practically taste the iron of the bars that they were raised in. I felt the lifelessness in their eyes. All to say that paired with the Cane's sauce made for a pulchritudinous eating experience. We support our local heroes!

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Me and my buds raising the canes - Chicken Shop Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I've always been a big fan of Chick-fil-A, but my daughter goes to school in the south and has been telling me about this place... Now they finally have a Back Bay location right by my office. Have to say... They live up to the hype. Chicken tenders are fresher, juicier, tastier, and maybe more inexpensive than the other big players out there. The freshness is what really makes them stand apart. Sauce has some undefinable flavor, but is darn tasty. read more

Came to this location for the first time today with my girlfriend, and left feeling full and happy! We both ordered the 3 finger combos, but my girlfriend wanted to sub cole slaw in place of fries. We ended up both ending up getting our orders mistaken for the "Box combos", which granted us each one extra chicken finger, but my girlfriend got only one side of cole slaw in place of her fries, and it would have been ideal if she had gotten two. The food in general was pretty good for Canes (I favored this location over the BU location), though the Dr. Pepper was watered down. I swapped it for a Coca-Cola however and that was pretty solid. The taste of the food is why they are getting stars, tbh. Aside from the food, the service was okay but the bathrooms were dirty, and the store needed to be restocked. I would honestly get take out from here, and have a nice picnic by the Esplanade come spring time. read more

Always a great experience at Raising Canes. The service was on point and the chicken is always fresh and steamy hot. If you are a party of two always get the 6 finger box and share - sub the Cole slaw for double fries and it's a love bird cheat code. This place is right across from the library. read more

The Chicken is the best fried chicken I've ever eaten in 66 years! Crispy Chicken tenders, but not greasy at all, crinkled cut French Fries, delicious Coleslaw make with purple cabbage, Texas grilled bread and a lemonade or fountain drink. The package was The Cainache Combo. $18.68 This eating place is on Boyleston Street downtown Boston. Nice looking place where you can eat in or take out. The place was very busy, but it was fast paced. Customer service was very good and helpful. We'll be back for sure well worth the drive. Yum read more

Regular raising canes chicken. It got delivered cold which we had to reheat it. Inside is fine for the area

This is the second time I've been to this specific location. I've always had good experiences at Raising Cane's, restaurants, and other locations I've been to. But this location over Sal their fries so much that it makes them in edible for me. The first time I went, my fries had way too much salt, so I asked for new batch. And, after they took unreasonably long to finally get me a new batch it was barely half a portion, but with twice the attitude. After several months, I thought I'd give it another shot today. But it was the same issue. Way too much salt. So I asked the lady sitting next to me if she had eaten any of her fries yet. And she said the same thing WAY, way too much salt! But, today I don't have time to stand around, waiting for them to get it right. So I just won't go back there anymore. In addition, the atmosphere is pretty Eyot because there's usually lots of tourist traffic there. Definitely not one you want to try to drive to because it's in back bay we're parking is terrible. Definitely want to go on foot. But avoid the fries because SH*T, They're frigging salty!!! read more

I had really high hopes before coming here! But I don't find the chicken as anything special. For my meal, I'd rate it a 3/5. HOWEVER, the servers were so helpful and accommodating, they asked if I needed my drink refilled??! For the service, I raised my rating to 4/5. I do like that they have a simple four-item menu for an indecisive person like me. read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Chicken Shop Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Of course, like many others, i've been WAITING for this location to open. We walked in around 5 pm on Saturday & it was packed. We really didn't think we'd be able to secure a table. Luckily, we did. The line went pretty fast & the service was very prompt. I ordered the 3 finger combo & my boyfriend order the Box Combo replacing the coleslaw with an extra piece of Texas Toast. Per usual, I was so happy to be eating Cane's. It's one of my faves. Truthfully, the chicken tenders were fairly small compared to what I was used to. But, the fries were literally perfect & crispy. I was disappointed that this location didn't have a place to fill your own Cane's sauce. You have to pay 50 cents extra at the counter for it. One cup is simply not enough. Really would say this location is a level up in terms of ambiance. The disco balls paired with Boston memorabilia paired really well. Brought a fun look to fast food downtown. read more

New location in Boston! I attended their grand opening event where they gave every ticket holder a free chicken box. The chicken was moist and well seasoned, and the fries were great! I don't particularly love the Cane's signature sauce, but my friends all loved it. The sweet tea was great, and so was the unsweetened tea. All the staff were incredibly kind and attentive, even offering to refill our teas for us. I'm hoping this Raising Cane's quality stays this amazing! read more

I was over the moon when I saw another Cane's was opening up in Boston closer to downtown!!! And it opened up just in time for my trip!!!! We went on a Tuesday evening and it was packed and busy! But the staff were efficient in making sure service was timely and organized. The food was just as I expected! Tasted like I was back in Baton Rouge. The sauce makes you crave it, the fries are crinkly and salty, and the chicken so juicy. I hope Cane's opens up more locations in New England. I'm definitely introducing my northerner friends! read more

Ooooh this was a good choice. I'm so glad raising cane's has opened on Boylston street. Every day I fight the beast inside me that wants chick FIL a, but I just can't give my money to a homophobic organization like that. Now that I have raising cane's I can get my chicken fix guilt free!! And oh my God it's so good. I got two tenders and sauce and they were super fresh and very juicy. The ambiance inside is also very nice and the music is fun. Actually feels like a place to sit down in read more

canes is fire, but the line is usually unbearable so try to go during off-peak times whatever that may be

Glad this location finally opened up. I was surprised it was relatively clean, at least compared to the one by BU. The interior is a mix of original Cane's interior with a mix of modern, like modern contemporary chandeliers. Service to get order was ok, a little wait but not too bad. Wasn't a fan of the call system where they shout your name from the counter. Its a pretty crowded area at the front so everyone crowds up front. Maybe using a mic over the speakers might help I will say quality is much better than the location at BU. It was good read more

The chicken was kind of dry. The sauce definitely helped quite a bit. The service was nice and the inside was beautiful.

~$10 for fast food which is pretty expensive. Crispy flavorful chicken fingers, buttery Texas toast, unseasoned crispy but puffy fries and the tangy Canes Sauce. A perfect combo of higher end fast food in the Newbury area. A better alternative to Chick Fil A, because it's open on Sundays! read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Chicken Shop Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Raising Canes was all the rage on social media for so long. When I noticed a location near me in Boston, I knew a stop was a must. I ordered a combo that I saw on the menu as specifically coming with chicken tenders, toast, fries, and coleslaw - something I remember distinctly being both online and on the physical menu. However, the front of house employee confused me when they mentioned it not coming with coleslaw and didn't do the best job clarifying. Despite it being crowded, we got two combos with drinks super quickly and there was adequate space for seating. I subbed my fries for coleslaw, which was a good decision on my part. Crinkle cut aren't my favorite, and while they were good they were a bit on the drier side, and so was the chicken. It wasn't breaded as evenly as I've seen with other chicken tenders in the past. The toast was absolutely delicious, I wish they gave bigger pieces of bread! The cane's sauce is also great as well. The fountain drinks are good too, but I'd skip the Dr. Pepper. It was significantly watered down and my girlfriend ended up opting for Coke in the end. Overall, pretty good! The sandwiches look great too and I can't wait to try more. read more

Cane's is a guilty pleasure for a reason. Although it is delicious, the food here is heavy and will probably leave you regretting it afterwards. This location is conveniently located on Newbury St and almost always packed. The workers are efficient and food is made quickly, especially if you order one of their combos. I tried their 3 chicken finger combo which includes fries, chicken, bread, and their sauce. I got my order to-go and it was still warm (although slightly soggy) when I was ready to eat it 10 minutes later. My first impression was that the serving looked a bit small for the price of $11, but it's very calorie dense, so it'll leave you full. The fries were mediocre and nothing too special.. I wish they had more seasoning on them. The chicken on the other hand was juicy, crispy, and flavorful despite its simplicity. The bread and sauce were also the stars of the show here. I could honestly eat plates full of both and probably never get sick of it! read more

There's just nothing wrong with Raising Cane's food. The product is very solid and always tasty. Was the Boston location chaotic and messy? Yes. Could their employees at the POS have a better attitude? Yes (the girl taking orders sucked and she should not be interacting with guests--she and the overall unkept state of the restaurant puts this at 4 stars). But the food? It was very good. read more

The girl at the front was miserable and couldn't understand basic instructions. Blamed us for her having a long day and said the line was long and thats why she was mad but we were the only three people in line. Another worker came up to us while we were eating asking us about the altercation with attitude like she was about to argue. Wax that beard and then come correct. NEVER coming back here. read more

I loved this place so much, but two things. 1, it took like 15 minutes to get my food, and 2, my fountain drink got watered down in the first 5 minutes I had it. But otherwise, the food was great, and I enjoyed the chicken a lot. read more

One of the better fried chicken places. However, the quality can be a hit or miss depending on when you go I guess. The first 2 times I came here, it was amazing! Chicken was super crispy and fries were well cooked. Unfortunately this time the fries were not good and the chicken didn't taste the same. Still good but was better last time. Went here on a weeknight so it wasn't as packed. I heard the wait time could be very long on weekends read more

I've heard great things about Raising Canes but when I got it at this location it was terrible. The fries were tasteless and the so was the chicken. They were really small and sad and flavorless. The only thing that was good as the sauce. The sauce was REALLY good. It was around $13-14 I think, and I hated it. Friends have told me that it's better in other locations, so maybe that's true but at this location it was no bueno. read more

Raising Cane's has always been worth the trek to BU, but now that there's one right in the city I don't think I can stay away! Cane's does one thing- chicken fingers. And they do it GOOD. Always hot and fresh, and quick too. Their lemonade is great too, and the sweet tea is on the better side for a restaurant in New England. The vibes are amazing. I love the decor, its very disco and they have a tarot portrait of the founder's dog that is adorable. It's just a nice chill place for some late night food, what isn't there to like? read more
