Raising Cane's chicken is always good. Staff were friendly & quick to fill order. One young lady continually made sure the seating area & drink fountain was clean. A good sign when you are eating in a restaurant. They have Great crushed ice & sweet tea, as always. Parking lot was packed, but it was due to restaurant. It was due to the church next door. Choose your time & day carefully. We got out of there before church let out. Not a big deal, but be for warned. Their sauce was good for the chicken, but I wish they had white gravy. I have never had a bad meal at a Raising Cane's. read more

I hate canes because a twink works there and he is rude to my brother. He's not nice and he knows who he is. Epic chicken finger ands fries though read more

The chicken is tasteless, unless you like the taste of sauce. They basically only serve nuggets, fries, herb toast and coleslaw. The toast is the best product. Hard pass, if you are 6 years old. read more

A Canes is a Canes- ya know? The chicken is good, fries are crispy, bread is buttered and toasted to perfection. You know what to expect when you go, and you are always satisfied. This location is always super clean, both inside the lobby and the bathrooms. I also love the sweet tea! read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Beverage Store Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I've been to the new Westside location 2 separate occasions, both times I ended up backing out of the drive thru because they are so SLOW.

For some reasons Raising Cane's seems to be so popular in ABQ. Everytime I stopped by, it was always busy and full of customers. Personally, I think the quality of fried chicken there is a bit better than other fast food joints. It is also quite affordable at just around $12 for a meal combo (or more if you want a bigger meal). Overall, I thought the food is ok. I don't intend to stop by fast food so often..but this chain seems to offer somewhat better food and ambiance than what typical fast food chains offer for sure. Also, they don't really offer any desserts, I don't think. But my most favorite thing is really the sweet and unsweetened tea that you can get from there. Those things do taste good! read more

Raising Canes was highly rated by a friend from the Denver area, so I thought I would give it a try. I've lived in the south (Texas, Arkansas, Georgia), so I completely understood what the hoopla was about. Crispy fried chicken, Texas toast, French fries, Coleslaw, and, of course, their own brand of dipping sauce. If I closed my eyes, I was almost transported back to "TX-AR-GA". Of course, i don't live there anymore so my immediate reaction was: no green chile? no honey? where's the catsup? coleslaw could use some pepper. But, after my initial New Mexico reaction, I realized that it was actually quite good, if you are used to southern fare. So I settled down, closed my eyes to the memories and dipped my chicken & fries in the "sauce". I added some black pepper to my coleslaw and yelled: "wooo-pig-sooie" (under my breath of course). My NM dining companion would never have understood my lapse in judgement. Once I got over the lack of "no green chile", I was very happy with my drive-through dinner. Tender-crispy fried chicken, good fries, thick Texas toast and excellent coleslaw (once I added the pepper). And the sauce? Well, if anything, it was the best part. I practically licked the little container. Does Raising Cane bottle and sell that stuff? read more

Friendly and fast staff, everyone thatbworks here seems happy to be there. Thats important to me, means they are well taken care of. Food was tasty, crispy chicken stripe, texas toast is great, wish it was a bigger slice. read more

I had heard lots of people talk about how great this pace was and now I've experienced it and not impressed. I went into the store rather than the drive thru. Walked in took me a bit to figure out the process to order. When I was at the register the woman seemed mad and not wanting to be there. It took a long time to come out. Was a challenge to find a table as no one was clean them off and the open ones were dirty. As for the sauce that was suppose to be the best part it lacked flavor. I might come back not sure. read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - a red cup with a straw - Beverage Store Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

If you're looking for some pretty basic chicken wings these will serve just fine. They're crispy and not overdone on the breading though there really isn't a lot of flavor to the breading. I got the three piece meal. The portions are comparatively small if you look at the size of wings and fries from other chains. Though the chicken seems to be real chicken tender meat as opposed to lots of breading with nothing else in it. Give it a try if this is your thing you'll probably enjoy it. I wanted to try it because of all the hype. The staff were quite pleasant and the service was quick so a good experience on that front! read more

Good overall, I wouldn't say the food is fantastic or even exceptional on any level however, I will say the chicken is good, good seasoning, good fries and good coleslaw. It's good enough to eat again if I happen to be near by and craving chicken strips. Other then that, would probably not drive across town to eat there again. The young lady at the counter appeared ti not be happy, she was monotone, flat affect on her face and not pleasant. I get it, it's super busy and your being worked hard, but please greet your customers with a smile and thank them, it goes a long way! read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - 6 piece chickens strip meal - Beverage Store Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

The lines were very well organized and service was quick. My daughter and I split the Caniac combo. The chicken strips were cooked well but my daughter thought they were bland. The fries were good. The Cole slaw was good. For fast food it was fine. Nothing great but my expectations weren't high. Wish I could give 3.5 stars instead of 4. read more

It's fast food Chicken joint. Nothing special. But it's just one of those comfort food, guilty pleasure deal. It was just exciting for me because I hadn't had Cane's for a while. Was it worth the 45 minute wait? Probably not, but the weather was nice so we didn't mind waiting. The one star missing is because even after getting our name called, the food wasn't ready. Apparently someone else took our orders... We will come back when we crave it again someday lol read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Box combo extra toast - Beverage Store Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

The lines have finally shortened at the new canes on Montgomery and I decided to get a box combo which comes with 4 chicken pieces, coleslaw, fries and a piece of Texas toast. This is my first time at this canes location but I've had canes plenty of times before on my trips to Las Vegas. To me canes is really nothing special but my kids love it. The sauce is good the toast is really good and the chicken tenders are like most chicken tenders. Service was great and the line moved fast. I'll probably be back to stop for something for my kids but I'm more of a burger person. It is good and I'll give it two thumbs up! read more

All of the Yelpers giving a one star review are full of it. Hello? It's a new restaurant. There are going to be your typical problems and wait times. I came on a Thursday at 10 PM and there were about 40 cars in the drive-through with about 20 people in line inside. I never do drive thru if it's long, so I noted the blue car I would have been behind. I got through the line and down at the nice outdoor patio in 24 minutes. You can see my starting position in the line. If the line is to the door, expect about a 20 min wait. I have been to Raising Canes down in the South, when I could just literally walk up an order, but I wanted to experience the hype here. It was honestly well worth it! Their chicken is seasoned really well; it was hot, crispy, not soggy as others have said. Crinkle cut fries are good. The cane sauce is really good for dipping. I am not a huge fan of the coleslaw, but I am picky about coleslaw. Their sweet tea is on point. I loved my experience, and I have learned not to trust half of the reviews on Yelp. read more

Went to this location with the Little League baseball team I'm driving from New Braunfels Tx. who is undefeated thus far and playing in the final championship game. We showed up with approximately 50 people and only gave them a five minute notice. They did an outstanding job accommodating us all and getting the orders out pretty quick. Management even comped my (bus driver) meal since I brought the large group there. Thank you, ladies, for taking such good care of us. read more

The lines are getting shorter-at least on Sunday! Canes has a lot of combo meals. I rarely drink soda, so didn't want a meal. I found that you can order individual pieces. Partner wanted fries. The woman who took my order was very nice. The chicken has a nice crunch and is juicy and flavorful. If my review was chicken only, I'd say five stars...alas, the fries were under cooked, old and limp. I also thought that sauce would come with the chicken. Apparently I was wrong. Ten pieces; no sauce. I'd definitely get the chicken again and remember to request sauce. Skip the fries. read more

The chicken is okay but the dining area is too small for a place this popular. It feels like they intentionally made it like that to make more people wait in line. Also, the chicken fingers are very overpriced (more than $2 each) and at that point you might as well buy a 2 pound pack of chicken strip from the supermarket for only $8 which is STILL less than their cheapest combo meal. And they will serve you the chicken at 200 degrees, way too hot. Also the employees (and manager) are very stingy and will charge you an extra 42 Pennies for Cane sauce, whatever that is. read more

I understand the hype now! Welcome to Albuquerque Raising Canes!! Me & the hubby ordered The Caniac Combo which includes 6 chicken strips, fries, Texas toast, coleslaw, 2 cane sauces, & a large drink. The strips have a distinct flavoring unique to canes in the batter and I am now a big fan of the sauce. The toast was my second favorite item of the dish! The coleslaw was also tasty but similar in taste to other coleslaws in our opinion. The fries we weren't blown away with - they reminded us of frozen french fries popped in the oven, we needed to add salt and pepper with the sauce or ketchup. They weren't bad just nothing fancy. We are sweet tea snobs & they did not disappoint with theirs! The service was great they had 3 lanes going as this was the second day open. I'm excited to have such a popular place in our city to enjoy! read more

We decided to try Raising Cane's chicken. Welp. We don't get the hype. The service was good and quickly responsive when there was an issue with our order, but the chicken breading was soft not crispy and the slaw was meh. We sat outside since we had our pup with us and it was nice to have that option. The trash can lid pass through was not big enough to accommodate the to-go containers (?) read more

Tasty chicken... Even decent coleslaw. Was really quick, considering how busy it was. Definitely faster wait time for the food to be ready than the ChickFilA I'm used to on Coors. Pretty sure they outsource the employees though, the place is clean and the employees are friendly and helpful... not like other places in ABQ. read more

1st and last trip here. They do not cook your food when you order it as I asked for extra crispy on fries and chicken. I'd hate to see what the regulat oder looks like if this was extra crispy. Oh, and there was a hair in my food. Dusgusting. Walmarts deli has better chicken. read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Hair in my food.fact. i have short gray hair and i was riding solo. - Beverage Store Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Absolutely not impressed. Restaurant was dirty, none of the open tables had been cleaned and the floor looked like it had not been swept the entire shift. When u asked to clean the table the young man was flippant and unprofessional. Food was tolerable which is more than I can say for the dining in experience. read more

Had hot food in hand 20 minutes from parking. Food was good and hot. I ordered The Box Combo, which comes with 4 fingers, and only received 3, which they promptly corrected. Great service. Deducted one star because they need to offer BBQ sauce! I came prepared with my own though! read more

First thing Raising Canes only does CHICKEN, really great CHICKEN. They have four Main Options to choose from and fries and a drink. You can get coleslaw if you want as a side. We love RAISING CANES CHICKEN it really is so good every single time. This placed was packed on a Friday at 1:30, tons and tons of customers. We placed our Order at about 1:30 waited about 20 minutes and asked and they had lost our Order and wanted to know what we ordered so they could make it on the fly and they did. They are super courteous, even when I spilled my whole drink outside and were thankful it was outside considering how crowded it was. It's nice to sit outside in the sunshine and enjoy lunch. Even with the blunder, I can't fault them as it was so dang busy and they fixed it as fast as they could. Again, best chicken you will probably ever have and each meal is about $10 and expect it to be crowded for this very reason! read more

Not a darn thing special enough to make me go back. Remember having Canes in San Antonio airport and liked it. This location, greasier and tasted stale. Fries were mealy and cold. Staff seemed disconnected and unhappy. Hard pass. read more

They do not seem to have been ready to open. I waited an hour and 15 minutes just to get soggy chicken and a drink that was essentially just carbonated water. By the time I went back in and got my new drink it took about an hour and 45 minutes total. Definitely recommend giving them a few weeks to get things figured out before you try the restaurant. read more

Food is great unlike the service and employees. I felt really uncomfortable taking my kids here. Their is a thing with pink hair and another with a red dyed beard that we're looking at my kids way to much. They are both male and support LGBTQ. From now on I will be going to this place by myself. I hope Canes isn't one of those business that support the LGBTQ movement. read more

I was very disappointed with my visit tonight. I called about 20 minutes prior to close to make sure I could still make it I was advised I as long as I made it before midnight I would be okay. I got there 10 minutes before closing and was told I could not order I asked for a manager and got to speak with Alicia. I advised her of the call i made and showed her the call but she told me "it does not prove you talked to someone" I was blown away at her response and the unprofessionalism so I left. I will probably not come back just because of the bad experience I had. read more

Food small fingers. Cold fries. Way too much money for what you get. Go to Golden Pride in Albuquerque for the Best Chicken you ever had. Long line, like it was really good chicken, but not worth the wait. Sorry I went there. Will never go again. read more

Is it busy? Yes... but is it efficient, also yes! They employees here are working hard and it shows. There are still a bunch of people in line but it went fast and the food came out pretty fast too! It's is loud in here but I like that they have so much outdoor seating, I will be glad to sit out there and enjoy the music when it calms down. Glad to have a Canes here in ABQ! Excellent work crew, keep up the good work! Oh and as always the chicken was absolutely delicious!! read more

Why would anyone on Earth wait over one hour for fast food? There is no food worth that wait.

Tried to give them another shot thinking they may have their act together. Still serving inferior chicken strips and fries that taste like old grease and their sauce isn't great. Try Stripes chicken strips, their sauce is great, and they're locally owned. Or Vic's, also locally owned. read more

I tried this place about a month ago. It was busy, but I expected that. I find it bizarre that BOTH locations are built right next to a Chick-Fil-A. Well, even though I'm not a huge fan of Chick-Fil-A either, I find it to be a vastly superior restaurant. For starters, the menu is far more diverse. Raising Cane's really has nothing but chicken strips, chicken sandwiches made with chicken strips, Texas toast, fries, and coleslaw. While I pretty much just stated it, Raising Cane's has absolutely no healthy options. The closest thing would be coleslaw. I didn't try it, but I imagine it's mayonnaise based. They have no salads (unless you count coleslaw), minimal sides, and minimal condiments. They don't even have pickles. So, if you find yourself imagining them on your sandwich, they won't be there. All the sandwich will have is lettuce and their signature sauce. I must say, the sauce was rather forgettable. I found it to be neither sweet nor spicy...just kind of there. The chicken strips themselves are okay tasting, but not spicy enough for me. Raising Cane's doesn't offer a spicy variety either. The fries were better than I thought they would be upon first glance. As others have said, they seem to be the same fries you find on the frozen aisle in grocery stores, and they aren't very crispy. The highlight for me was checking out the history of the place while I was waiting in line. Apparently, it's named after the founder's dog. Will I return? I definitely won't anytime soon, and I definitely won't make a special trip to eat there. However, if I was hungry and faced with minimal eatery options, I could see myself eating there again. read more
