Just got back from vacation and immediately went to one of these locations to get a taste of home. The venue and location was great! However, idk why but I felt like my 3 piece tenders were less crispy and possibly undercooked in the breading and the fries were kinda cold. The flavors were mostly there but the textures and temperature of my meal made it kinda off for me. Also, be aware that the front entrance is right in front of the drive through line, so make sure to look both ways before returning the the parking lot. I thought this set up was made continently for cars in mind but maybe not so much the pedestrians. Overall though, I did enjoy my meal. read more

I am not a Raising Cane's fan and I think it comes down to hating crinkle cut fries and their pepper heavy fry sauce. I went through the drive thru to get my husband his food and we had a big miscommunication on what I ordered. I was worried that a two piece chicken tender meal was over $20 but no, they just heard me wrong and it was much cheaper. The part I don't dislike is the bread. read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Fast Food Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

I and my family enjoyed our visit immensely. We got our food after a short wait and proceeded to eating it hot and fresh a.s.a.p.

Went to the Restaurant located at the Muldoon area here in Anchorage Alaska. Got the worst service from the Cashier.

Finally visited this north Anchorage Raising Cane's. We are frequent visitors of their south location. Raising Cane's north has a better drive-thru. Raising Cane's south has a better parking lot. Visited Raising Cane's north today and was asked to pull up front to wait for my order. No biggie, except the parking lot is narrow and tight. It took me so long to squeeze my SUV into a parking space, that the worker was already waiting on me to put down my window...stressful. Food was consistent with what we've received at their south location. read more

First time eating at a Raising Cane's. Clean, nice place. Customer service could be a little more friendlier, engaged. Food was well presented and looked and tasted very good. Enjoyed the toast and cole slaw as well. Fries done right. Chicken cooked just right as well, liked the lightly breaded and fried chicken breast. Only negative was the banner outside where we choose to eat was hanging down and flapping. Easy to fix, but someone should have done it at the start of the day. Also, a little bigger catsup containers or use individu a little packets. read more

Awesome the 3 finger combo and the Texas toast is soooo good it makes my mouth water just thinking about it

They do one thing and they do it well: Chicken Fingers. If you're interested in something other than chicken fingers, you probably shouldn't bother. Space is eclectic and squeaky-clean. Chicken fingers are tender and piping hot. They are smushed together chicken meats, they are white chicken breast tenders. They thing that really ties everything together is their sauce. It's not spicy but it's got an irresistible, addictive tang. (it appears to be similar to a 'fry sauce' commonly found in Mormon areas, which is a mix of ketchup and mayo, but with some spices added. I know it sounds weird, just try it, you'll be a believer.) I love that they are open very late: till midnight. I wish you could just get a basket/bucket of chicken fingers only. Y'know, like you can at wing places? As it stands, you must get them with fries and Texas toast, which is a lot of carb in one sitting! read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Ambiance - Fast Food Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

The culinary experience at this establishment is exceptional, with both the food and the service being of the highest caliber.

With 2 new Cane's locations coming to the area I realized I never reviewed the "original" location! I will admit I'm not a big fast food person. I like food, and I like it most when it's elaborately presented in a restaurant setting. You could say I'm a bit bougie when it comes to eating out. That said I was intrigued with trying Cane's when it opened in Chicago because friends kept telling me how good it was. I never made it to the Chicago location before I moved to ANC so when I saw cane's opening here I knew I had to go. First of all I like how this chain has ties to Alaska even though it wasn't originally started here. The interior is decorated very nicely and pays homage to Alaska, which is really cool. Decor is pretty upscale for a chain restaurant. The menu here is very specific. It's called Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers, and they only sell chicken tenders. I do enjoy tenders once in a while so this works for me. The fact that they focus on a niche certainly isn't a bad thing! The portion sizes on the chicken tenders are pretty good. The sizing of the tenders isn't uniform, but that means that they're actually using real pieces of chicken breast cut up--so sizes are going to vary. The breading is good, and tenders have always come out hot and crispy. The fries are on the soggier side. I love crinkle cut fries so they definitely get points for that, but they could use some additional time crisping. The Coleslaw is pretty flavorful, and I like when coleslaw is served with the cabbage diced rather than shredded. The cane's sauce that the tenders were served with is what I consider "zippy" it wasn't hot sauce, but had a nice little kick to it. They have the "good" fast food ice, which is the crushed ice. Sweet tea was tasty. It seems that they listen to the customers, and adjusted the prices. When I dined there a box combo (4 pieces) was $10, which is reasonable for the portion of food. Customer service was fast & friendly. For a fast food restaurant the food was pretty good so I was impressed! It's simple, but I think it produces a reliable product and doesn't try to be something it's not. This is a solid 3.5. It got the 4 star rating because as a fast food restaurant I believe it exceeds expectations! read more

Please don't go here till they fix their cleaning regiment. Twice in a row I have had soapy taste in the tea and ketchup. It makes things have a floral taste. I have written corporate but they have an outsourced complaint resolution and it doesn't seem to get back to the company. Nobody here cares. read more

Haven't been there in a while Good food and people are ok it would help if a lot of the restaurants could have their own delivery

The interior of this place would lead you to believe this place is swanky fast food (if there is such a thing.) But frankly, it doesn't quite deliver. Their menu is EXTREMELY simple, so you would expect that they would have what they make nailed down to perfection. But they don't. The chicken fingers are great, but not fantastic. When that's ALL you make, I expect them to be awesome and they aren't. And they portions are small for what you pay. And the fries are not good. The bread is not adequately crispy. And the coleslaw they served us was actually rancid. They only thing that actually impressed was the dipping sauce (which I promptly went home and figured out how to replicate.) Long and short, the only item on them menu worth buying is the chicken fingers and you cant even buy them ala carte, which I find really fucking annoying. I dont want all that carby bullshit. Will I go back?.. eh, maybe. Let's just say I'm ambivalent. read more

I think the thing that will surprise you the most is the size of the chicken fingers. They're pretty small. But sometimes great things come in small packages. In a town (and state) that is missing a Chick-Fil-A, raising canes is filling the niche of "slightly better quality fast food chicken." Their sauce sets them a part a little. It's a tangy, slightly hot, slightly creamy little tub of fresh homemade goodness. Other than that, it's a simple menu that has fast service for the quality you're getting. I was happy, but not blown away. read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Fast Food Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Ordered the caniac combo and got food poisoning. Service was great and the place wasn't busy. My brother and his girlfriend ordered the same thing a few weeks later and got food poisoning again. Please do not eat at this Canes. I would recommend the one off Dimond. read more

Skimpy, skimpy, skimpy! Out of every Cane's I've been to, these were the smallest "chicken tenders" I've ever seen. They could've passed as chicken nuggets by industry standard. Barely received any fries, and the sauce cup was filled up 1/2 way. My plate had more empty space than food, so I will not be returning for the price i paid. read more

We always wait quite a while to try out recently opened restaurants in AK, chain or not. I was a fan of Raising Cane's in Texas and looked forward to experiencing them again when they opened up here. I heard and read both good and bad, but knowing what they're capable of, I knew what to expect and they did not disappoint us. We shared a Caniac combo, knowing 6 tenders, fries, coleslaw, Texas toast and a beverage was plenty for the two of us to share.... and honestly, a meal for two coming in at $15 just isn't that bad. One thing I've always loved about Cane's is that they use actual chicken tenders and not cut up chicken breasts, like mostly everywhere else. I am a fan of the tenders being lightly breaded and crispy, not heavy crunchy breading that hurts your mouth to eat. Our tenders and fries were piping hot and we couldn't eat it quickly, which was perfectly okay! Service was quick and friendly... our meal was ready in mere minutes! The restaurant was clean and employees were filling up tea, wiping tables and taking care of everything, across the board. When the mood strikes, we won't hesitate to stop by again. read more

This place is garbage. Both times I tried them (about 3 months apart), the chicken strips were dinky and the breading just sloughed off, the fries were cold, and there was very little flavor in either. For a place that only makes chicken fingers, you'd think they'd know how to make them not terrible. $16+ bucks for mediocre chicken strips, no thanks. I won't be back. You're better off going to Carr's or Fred Meyer. read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Dinky chicken strips, breading falling off, cold fries. 16+ bucks for this? - Fast Food Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Don't listen to the dumbos hating on this place. Not naming names, but some people reviewing here must either be flat out lying or just miserable no matter where they're eating! Raising Cane's is Raising Cane's; something unique in Alaska, but super common in the lower 48. They serve hot, fresh, crispy chicken tenders, decent toast, good slaw, and decent fries, with delicious house sauce for dipping. That's pretty much it. Don't go here if you don't like: Chicken tenders, crinkle fries, coleslaw, or Texas toast because that's all there is. Good stuff, but limited! I have never had a bad experience, and the service is bar none the best in Anchorage for fast food. Immaculately clean, pleasant workers, good location, and the food has ALWAYS been hot and fresh. Never soggy, never old. The chicken portions are decent for the price, these aren't whole breasts they're frying, they're strips. They are not "nugget sized" (unless you're a sasquatch and then I guess maybe they might be!), they're the size of the typical chicken strips you might buy from the meat market at any grocery store. If you're starving then get the six tender combo, it'll fill you up, don't purchase a smaller portion and then complain about the smaller portion you knowingly purchased! Price wise, Cane's can't be beat. What they charge here isn't too far off from what they charge down South, and unless you're eating at McDonald's or some other odious place, it's about as cheap as you can get for quality fast food. Overall, I love this place, it's delicious, and I recommend you try it out! P.S. Get extra sauce, it's worth it. read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Fast Food Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Ok seriously, everyone I work with told me to not try this place because it's garbage, and I'm the type of person that never believes other people's opinions of restaurants, case in point this place having 4.5 stars on yelp. Today I finally had some time today to give it a shot, I pulled in exactly at 11 so I can get the freshest chicken possible. Yet somehow every item inside the box I received 100% literally tasted like left over fried food you threw into the microwave the morning after the most alcohol you have ever drank. But me a sober non hungover individual was unable to put this wet Soggy day old chicken and fries into my body. After powering threw 1 chicken strip that btw was disappointing because on the photos the chicken strips looked 9 inches long, then you get your food and these are small enough to be counted as nuggets, but I digress... but no joke after the soaked in old grease chicken I couldn't even touch another to my lips and threw it out and went down to pita pit which is good but when you were craving good fried chicken a healthy pita wrap just doesn't cut it. But look at the picture it will say it all for me. They could t even put lettuce or something on the bottom to help with the grease. read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Fast Food Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

I thought I would try something new, and I've heard a lot about Raising Cane's. The simplicity of their menu is a good indicator of the complexity of their food; Raising Cane's makes chicken tendies and the rest is an after thought. Everything looked good when the Caniac Combo arrived. The crinkle cut fries were perfectly done, not all soggy and not cooked dry, but they were annoyingly plain. The fries tasted fine but needed ketchup or something. I ended up throwing some some Lawry's on and getting ketchup. I'll remember to not order from Cane's if I don't have access to extras. The chicken tendies were perfectly cooked, too. Cane's really knows their tendies and put an impressively thick layer of moist breading on their chicken. The breading does a really good job of holding the boring sauce that comes with the Caniac Combo. I ate the toast. I'll probably go in sometime just from curiosity, but this isn't something I would ever have a craving for or make a regular treat. For as much as I paid for the Caniac Combo I could have a whole bag of frozen chicken tendies and plain crinkle cut fries. Yeah, the tendies are perfect, not they're tendies. Perfect tendies is like racing tires on a Yugo. Next time I'm watching anime in my hat I'll pass on Cane's and warm up the oven. read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - My "hunker down" Caniac Combo: six chicken strips, fries, toast, coleslaw, two Canes sauce, and a Dr Pepper. - Fast Food Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Meh. Raising canes has never been my favorite, but I was looking forward to it coming to town. A change of pace from the salt ridden wing stop. So here are my major gripes and likes. Chicken here is fresh. It really is cooked to order and is not over cooked. Not dry. The line moves fast so don't be discouraged by long lines. They don't necessarily mean long wait times. The tenders are portion perfect. About 1/3 of a chicken breast per tender. They aren't over battered or overwhelmingly salty. The lemonade here is FRESH FRESH. The menu is simple and the combos are filling. It's easily accessible and the parking near it is almost never full. The downside in my opinion is that the fries are not as fresh as the chicken. My husband and I both ordered the combos and both orders of fries were cold. The flour on the chicken isn't seasoned. The cane sauce is good, but you only get one for all your chicken and fries. Nothing is seasoned or salted other than that sauce so only getting one is kind of cruel. Lastly, the price. This stuff is crazy expensive. I'm not sure if it's because it's just Alaska or if canes is saving for retirement, but it's not a cheap visit. All in all I'll be back. I don't want to drive all the way across town to get it, but if in the area and craving chicken I'll stop by for sure. read more

That was much better than than the deli at the grocery store. Great for kiddos. Simple food done well. Chicken fingers, french fries, soft drink...that's pretty much it. No regrets but not blown away. I will say, the chicken breast was quality product, not glued together chicken bits. This will be a destination with the grandkids. Very clean (opening night), very energetic and friendly crew pumping out massive amounts of chicken read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Fast Food Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

They updated the prices so ignore most of the low star reviews. Bottom Line: Manage your expectations. I was very pleased with the level of customer service and got the product I expected. I was more than happy to pay the extra cost based on the location. Ill First thing, I read the first 10 reviews which accumulated into a 3 star overall rating for this location. For everyone that gave this business for the price difference to the lower 48, welcome to Alaska pricing. For those who were upset with the wait time or service, I hope you give them a chance to get into their rhythm of being a brand new team. I along with many others have been excited to see Anchorage gain another great franchise to give me more options and filling a big gap in the fast food chicken market. Not a big fan of KFC or Popeyes and it seems most local places sell frozen chicken tenders from Costco. I just got back in town and we decided to go for the first time the first Saturday after the Grand Opening 5 days prior. The drive thru line was very long and required a policeman to manage the parking lot traffic. We decided to dine in. It was very busy as expected and the only reason we got a table was because a manager was interviewing an employee and insisted we take their table. There were a ton on employees taking care of the maxed out restaurant. We ordered a 4 piece (~$11.50) with two extra chicken tenders (~$1.80 each). I figured we would do this instead of buying the 6 piece for ~$17.80. I expected the higher prices but figure it will change slightly over the first year since they don't have much to model the prices off, other than the Hawaii location. read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - New Price List - Fast Food Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Raising Canes make a great Chicken Strip, but at $9.45 for 3 small fingers and fries. And small drink..... well it's a bit overpriced. I can eat at almost every other fast food competitor for less $$$$$. I will eat there again, but not nearly as often as I would if the price were more reasonable. read more

It's chicken. It's hot, fast and delicious. Nothing else needs to be said. Chicken chicken chicken.

Grabbed dinner for my family, and in return got food poisoning. When I was starting to feel well enough, I went to the location and brought my receipt to show I did purchase and what time. I was hoping to get refund and be on my way. They proceeded to ask me for medical documents to confirm food poisoning. First I know what food poisoning is, and an establishment has no right to medical documents. Did not get my refund and only got offered a free meal for next visit. Will not be eating there read more

Food Poisoning. Terrible decline in quality control over the the last couple of years. Do not go to this restaurant.

What's not to love about chicken strips, French fries, Texas toast and sweet tea?! This is my favorite chicken place and a must stop when I see one on travel as they don't have any near me. Food and service is consistently good at all locations. And I love how the company supports the local neighborhoods. read more

The first Cane's in Anchorage. My wife loves chicken fingers so it is a must visit. Convenient location and lots of parking. The employees are friendly and helpful but the guy calling out names had a strong accent and everyone's name sounded like Hannah :-) just some in place entertainment. The white meat chicken strips are hot and tasty. The fries were okay. The experience was good. We will be back! read more

Been here a dozen times, give or take, since they opened. My first time having Cane's was about 8 years ago in Charleston, SC so I was thrilled that they decided to open one here in Alaska since there's no good fast food chicken around here. It's exactly that -- fast. And it's yummy and the staff is always friendly. Can't go wrong with Cane's when you need to grab a quick lunch or pick up food on your way home from work and don't feel like cooking dinner. I mean, the sweet tea could be a little more "tea" tasting and less sugar water tasting. But they have pellet ice and you can't go wrong with that. read more

Okay... Everyone around me seems to love this place. Many for the same reasons I am pretty Meh about it. Limited menu. The chicken strips are real food. But the sides don't really stand out for me. Additionally they are way over priced. I have been told it is a difference between the lower 48 and Alaska but I don't know them from outside. I am saying they are expensive for Anchorage. The Texas Toast lacked any crunch. The coleslaw has nothing that stands out. The fingers have a tasty light breading. I realize this place has a following. It isn't one of my food places. read more

I came in here with high expectations due to the hype in Anchorage about this place. After ordering I was a little disappointed. The chicken was just ok....but the sauce, now that's worth bragging about. All in all it was ok, that's it. read more

Lol this is way overrated and overpriced. 13.50 for a gallon of lemonade? 17 bucks for 6 chicken strips that are soggy (my group everyone had soggy chicken, unseasoned fries, and ok slaw.). Sauce was too sweet. Zero flavor besides the oil they fried it in. Idk why folks are saying this is amazing. Chick fil-a, Bojangles, Zaxbys is way better. read more

Chicken, chicken, chicken what combo you pickin? Decided to stop by today to pick up a Box combo now that all the hubub has died down a bit. I think these chicken fingers were fresh, juicy and homemade. I wish the sauce was a bit more spicy but the toast was amazing and rich and buttery and even the crinkle cut fries were great and I don't typically like them. One of the best things is that you can pick up a gallon of their lemonade or sweet tea. I love the lemonade! Whatever kinks there may have been are worked out now. Try them! read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Box combo - Fast Food Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Well, heck, I was really looking forward to Cane's opening here. We have always made it a point to eat at Cane's and Chick-fil-A when we are Outside - we love 'em both, excellent food at a good price. It looks like the local Cane's went old-school captive market Alaska here. Comparison (round numbers): six finger combo in Anchorage is $18; Outside is $9. Three finger combo in Alaska is $11; Outside is $6. Freight is competitive now for Alaska, and this is 2019, not 1980. Three stars because I love the food but won't bother because I don't like being gouged. Of course, I don't know all the costs and such, but oh, well........ read more

Meh. Great customer service, clean establishment, and the food was freshly made. However the food itself was bland, flavorless, with no seasoning whatsoever. I'm not necessarily saying the food was terrible, it just doesn't come close to Chick-Fil-A or Popeyes tenders. read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Fast Food Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

It's not bad food, but it's a little on the expensive side it you're feeding a family. I have ordered takeout from them, and have had issues with the fries being soggy. However, their chicken is DELICIOUS! I really like the relaxed atmosphere in the restaurant, and the customer service has always been great. I have many allergies and its nice that they do not fry their stuff in soy I can't have their special sauce or biscuit, but they accommodate me by substituting for more fries.... oh boy Anyways, they are great for chicken, but lack side options. They have coleslaw and fries. That's it. No salad. No mac and cheese. No beans. I wish they had more for the price. read more

Second time here, we came opening day but through the drive thru. The first visit through the drive thru was good- they have a limited menu so picking your meal is easy and fast. The drive thru moved fast. The second time we went in and ate inside. It's actually a lot bigger inside than it looks like it would be. Pretty clean, they had people walking around wiping down tables (always a good thing when you're not so busy) and mopping the floor immediately after someone spilled. The bathrooms were clean too- and they DO have a baby changer, it's in the last stall. The biggest surprise was they LOWERED the prices to regular prices. I wasn't surprised at first when they opened with "AK prices", but lowering them $3 or so a meal is awesome. Should've probably opened with those prices. Friendly staff, super tasty hot chicken and the fries this time were seasoned more, or just better then opening day. We'll continue to come here especially since it's cheaper now, good deal. read more
