Raising Cane's keeps its concept incredibly simple, focusing almost entirely on chicken tenders, fries, Texas toast, coleslaw, and its signature sauce. I walked into a bright, clean, and energetic restaurant with a fast-paced atmosphere that reflects how popular the chain has become. Even with a line forming at the counter, the staff kept things moving efficiently, and the operation felt well organized considering the volume of customers coming through the door. I went with one of the tender combos, which is really the reason most people come here in the first place. The chicken tenders were juicy, freshly cooked, and had a crispy coating that held up well without feeling overly heavy. The coating had a good crunch that stayed intact through the meal, and the chicken itself was moist and tender throughout. The real standout, though, is the Cane's Sauce. It adds a tangy, peppery flavor that works perfectly with the chicken and honestly ties the entire meal together. Between the tenders, crinkle-cut fries, and Texas toast, it is a simple meal, but one that is executed consistently well. The toast is buttery and soft, and the fries are solid enough to hold their own alongside the main event. One thing I have noticed is that the chicken can occasionally feel a little greasy depending on the visit, especially if you are ordering a larger combo. For some people that may not be an issue at all, while others might find it sits a bit heavy afterward. That has varied from visit to visit, but it is worth mentioning because the meal is definitely on the richer side compared to some other fast food chicken options. The coleslaw provides a lighter contrast, though it is a fairly standard version of the side and does not stand out the way the chicken and sauce do. The staff during my visit were friendly and efficient, and the restaurant was well maintained. Food came out quickly, and despite the limited menu, there is something refreshing about a place that focuses on doing one thing rather than trying to offer dozens of different options. The simplicity of the menu makes the decision process easy, and the consistency of the meal across visits is a big part of the appeal. Raising Cane's delivers a satisfying chicken tender meal with quality chicken, a great signature sauce, and consistently solid sides. It may not be the lightest meal around, but when you are in the mood for crispy chicken tenders and a straightforward comfort-food combo, it is easy to see why so many people keep coming back. The meal is familiar, filling, and hits the right notes for what it sets out to do. read more

I may talk about chicken fingers the same way a Yngvie Malmsteen fan might discuss "Van Hagar," but this was a welcome break from a rainy night, points awarded for subway adjacently and being open late. The fingers, fried and Texas toast are good, while the showstopper is the sauce that belongs on all of the above. The sweet tea is refreshing. Service is quick and friendly, read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Fast Food Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Took my daughter here for lunch. When I opened the door, my first thought was, let's go somewhere else to eat because it was very crowded. Much to their credit, I'll say they move the line quickly. My daughter was able to place her order via the machine and waited on the side. I stepped away for less than five minutes, and to my surprise, her order was ready. Since I'm dieting and I don't eat chickens, I did not get anything. However, maybe on a cheat day-- I'd return for the Texas toast and crinkle cut fries. My daughter enjoyed her meal and we were on our way. The place was very neat and in good order. Usually when the place is this crowded you would expect it to be loud and rowdy, but it was the exact opposite here. read more

I had the after work munchies and took a chance on getting food to go from Raising Cane's, to curb my craving. It's a nicely designed place with a cool, friendly staff. I ordered a 3 piece, chicken tender meal. The chicken strips were very tender but bland. The batter was kinda soggy and didn't cling to each chicken piece. French fries were pale, skinny crinkle cuts. I really liked my buttery Texas Toast slice. The dipping sauce was tasty enough but I didn't go there for the sauce. I went to Raising Cane's for the chicken and the chicken wasn't hittin. Complete waste of time and calories. I'm good. read more

This Cane's was very clean, spacious, and not too crowded, so it was easy to order via machine or cashier. The food was also made very quickly. The chicken was juicy, fries crispy, and their special sauce pretty special and great for dipping both. The Texas toast was a great side. We split one combo, and it was still filling for two people for a quick and tasty lunch. read more

Great spot! Cool ambience! The food was nicely seasoned and perfectly cooked. The fries perfectly crispy and not overdone and not greasy. Strips nicely breaded and crispy, juicy and not greasy. The Cane sauce was phenomenal, dipped everything in it. Service was nice and quick, counter staff very friendly and courteous and kept the place clean and orderly. Will definitely be back!! read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Chicken tenders, fries and toast - Fast Food Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I really don't have any complaints about this location. I feel like most of the Raising Cane locations I've been to seem to have the same theme, meaning decor, and ambiance and set up. Basically they all look alike. The customer service seems to be the same. You either order from an App they have on location or from the front counter. The staff always seems to be pleasant and busy doing something. I think that's excellent because I always find the restaurants to be clean. Crowded, but still clean. My chicken is always hot and crispy. My fries are delicious, and I love the bread and sauce. I feel like I'm very happy with this chain. I rather them then that other chicken popular place that is also a magnet for customers. This location I'm giving a thumbs up to- Happy Yelping read more

I went to this location months upon months ago when I think this was the only location in NYC. They're still pretty popular now even after all the hype died down for whatever reason and they have several more locations now. I had the combo that came with 4 chicken tenders, a piece of Texas toast, some coleslaw, fries, a drink, and their famous sauce. The chicken was bland and a bit dry and needed the slightly sweet sauce to have any flavor with the sauce itself reminding me a bit of Russian dressing but maybe with a couple spices added. The fries were pretty terrible being crinkle cut and the toast was an alright piece of bread. The coleslaw also wasn't too tasty being just pretty dry for coleslaw without that much dressing. The tea was fine but it's tea so yeah. It's not the worst chicken you can have and it's obviously better than let's say McDonald's or some other places like that but for the price point which is around $15 and if you're going to get tenders, there are several better options. The best is the excellent 8-Bit Bites which has both much tastier chicken tenders, much better fries which are spiced, and the chicken has better sauce options. There's also the cheaper Halal Munchies which gives way more tenders and several other places. They're going to stay in business because of their location but I personally would never go back. read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Combo platter. Bland chicken. Mediocre fries. The famous sauce saves everything but it is Russian dressing-esque - Fast Food Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I'm a sucker for a chicken tender & a sauce, then u have my heart & money. So that's what I found in Raising Canes. I frequent there enough to say this. Yet I have a huge problem with the Texas Toast. U can't call it toast if it's just soft bread. I heard another customer ask for extra crispy, so tonight I tried that. The nice young lady asked if I wanted extra butter..I really did not but if it makes it more toastier than go for it. Epic Fail. There is no toast texture. It's always brown bread. And the extra crispy didn't even match the so called toasted side. I can eat canes without the bread, but who doesn't like toast? But it needs to be actually toast. See u soon anyway. read more

This is my neighborhood location and the service/food are always so good. I have gone at all different times of the day and it's typically pretty slammed during lunch. One specific day, there was a line out the door and a lot of commotion from patrons starting trouble for no reason. The staff were still very nice and handled the lunch rush well. I don't know if people come here expecting gourmet food... They are literally just chicken tenders and fries for the most part. And they are certainly better than the majority of other fast food chicken tenders. The batter is light and the chicken is juicy. The crinkle fries are always good and the slab of Texas toast is *chefs kiss*. I will deff continue to come read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - 4 piece combo - Fast Food Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I wanted to use the bathroom before I place my order. So the gentleman who was cleaning said I had to place a order first mind you I walk in behind 2 other customers and he didn't say it to them. I wanted my hands to be clean before I ate lunch. I was dress up in a suit so I wasn't no person off the streets. If your workers are picking and choosing who to tell that's not good. Please train them better. Thank you have a blessed and wonderful day read more

This location feels like a it could be in a theme park or tourist trap, but it's right near the heart of downtown Brooklyn on the Fulton Mall strip. The space is loud, large, bright and airy. The servers all greet you with a rousing chorus of "Welcome to Cane's!" Its cute if you're visiting, but annoying the next time. The tenders are good! They don't taste frozen or mechanically formed. And to be perfectly honest, I'm not a big fan of the sauce but I get why people like it. Since they have a small menu, the orders come out fairly quickly. It's not uncommon to see what looks like the equivalent of a football team waiting at the counter but they're able to clear it out quickly. read more

This is the 2nd Raising Cane's I've been to this month (1st one was in Times Square). Came here around 12:30 pm on a Sunday, and surprisingly, it wasn't busy. The restaurant was clean and had a lot of employees. We got 3 of the caniac combos & some extra fingers. The employee took my order correctly, but it's the kitchen who messed up- I asked for no coleslaw for all 3 combos and wanted 2 extra toast & 1 extra sauce instead. I received 3 coleslaw and 3 extra sauces. I went to tell the employee and showed my receipt, which clearly states what I said- atleast they were nice about it, admitted fault, and gave me the 2 toasts. The employees are very friendly, including the security guard. However, the food wasn't as good as the one in Times Square. The chicken fingers weren't that crispy, and the fries were soggy. Toast & coleslaw were good. The kids had a good time here- we'll definitely be back again unless they decide to open one on Long Island. read more

What is the craze with this place? It's mediocre and nothing special as what people hyped it to be. The sweet tea was not that sweet. The fries were nothing. The chicken wasn't special...could've been cooked darker. They didn't offer ketchup packets to go so I had to eat my food there and it was much too crowded. Eh, I personally would skip this. read more

A bit pricey for what it is. Their sauce is not even that special. The chicken doesn't need it actually, and the garlic bread is a nice twist to fast food. BUT!!! Customer service is everything and makes the food and experience that much more worthy. Fries with no salt please. I got fries with salt. My fault cause I said it late. A manager overheard and without hesitation asked for my fries to be replaced immediately. Stepped up, and was a manager making sure the customer leaves happy. Imagine my posted photo is of him and not the food! Lol read more

I came here on a break for court appearances. They have convenient kiosks where you can put in your order so I opted to do that. I got my food pretty quickly, it was hot and even though the place was crowded it wasn't impossible for me to get a seat. I had a tenders combo and I will say the food did live up to my standards as a native Southerner. I don't like what I've heard about employee mistreatment but I didn't see any of that during my visit and overall had no issues. I'd come back if I were hungry and in the area. read more

I recently found out about this place through two people I know who have been there. I have never heard about Raising Cane's before. I got the opportunity to visit this establishment after trying to figure out what to have for lunch one cold day in December. I them decided to give it a try at first I was about to change my mind because the lines were so long they seem to be moving quacking so I hang tight and finally got to make my order . I got the four piece tenders combo meal. Let's just say I was not disappointed talk about tender chicken that sauce is everything oh so good and rich. I loved it so much I went back the next day for lunch. I will definitely recommend to anyone looking for some good tender chicken. read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Soda - Fast Food Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This is the worst Raising Cane's ever. Hell no would I ever come here again. I expected better than what I got today after ordering the sandwich combo. I told the cashier that I wanted the unsweetened tea and she ended up giving me the sweetened tea, which was loaded with lots of pure cane sugar making the tea unbearably sweet to drink. I couldn't finish it at all and had to throw it out. Then as I was almost finished with my fries, I saw a strand of hair that either came from the pubic or some private part area and I was immediately shocked and distraught! I was very mad that a strand of hair could even be in the food. I lost trust in this Raising Cane's location and will never ever step foot into this place ever again. read more

First time trying Raising Canes. Didn't know what to get so got the kids meal which came out to $8 and change. I got two juicy tenders with side of fries and a soda. the Tenders didn't seem like there's any seasoning on it. It's the sauce that makes it work. Now that I finally tired this spot, would I go out of my way for it? Probably not. read more

The food was pretty good. The fries are very skinny and the sauce is very little n coleslaw they can keep it I bought the unsweetened tea cannot go wrong The atmosphere is nice.

The chicken fingers are moist and tender white meat pieces. The suggested meal is quite large! 4 pieces of chicken tenders, coleslaw, Texas toast and fries!!!! And a drink too! It's a little costly that average fast food but worth it. Today we had to wait on a long time before n a long line - 10-12 people and one cashier. This is a good size restaurant with plenty of seating. They had counter seats, booths, tables.... Colorful and bright decor. The only complaint is that the fries were a little limp and soggy. The chicken could have been crisper. But overall still good! read more

Don't understand what's the hype of it. They only have combo meal only. I do not want drinks. I just want tenders & fries, but whatever.. Order a combo #2, 3 pcs tender with fries and a toast. Tender is ok, 1 pc tender juice & 2 pcs were dried. Fires was a joke. Small cut of crinkle fries and tiny portion of it. No taste and soggy. Toast was good and buttery. That's the good best of the meal. Sauce is ok. Not worth it. Not a fan of this place. read more

To start, this meal was hella expensive!! I mean $17 expensive. I was so surprised at the price. When i had it in Times Square, idk if i paid this much. But, either way... man! I originally wanted the craniac meal which was 5 tenders and the same sides but that came out to a whopping $21 after taxes. I politely told her to take that off. When did fast food become so dang expensive?! Cuz that was crazy! This was my second time having raising canes, and to be honest, it's just okay. The chicken is nothing without the sauce. The fries are just regular. The Texas toast was okay. Would i return, I'm not sure. I feel like i can make this meal at home for far less than what i paid and have leftovers. The wait time was also insane for fast food on a Tuesday evening. I waited at least 20 mins for "fresh hot chicken" as they proclaimed when they call your name for your order. The music was so loud you could barely hear yourself think. It was a clean restaurant, which we love to see. All in all, not bad. But if i want chicken tenders and fries again, I'll stick with Popeyes or just make my own at home. They also had green lemonade for saint patricks day, but mine was filled to the brim with ice so most of the lemonade i had was gone before the meal was given to me. If you are ordering, tell them light ice, or none at all. Get your moneys worth lol. See meal below. read more

I'm a Caniac from waaaay back and I'm so glad there's a location closer to me now! I was excited when the first few locations popped up but this one is only a single bus ride away! The staff is friendly, food is fresh, and on par with the NYC locations. I snagged one of my favorite lunches (kids meal) on the app and picked it up from the convenient walk-up mobile window. Got my order so much faster than other locations, thanks guys. See you soon! read more

Soggy mess. The chicken is good, if a bit texturally meh due to sogginess. Should've just gotten the chicken. Instead I have these soggy, limp, lukewarm fries and this flavorless piece of soggy bread. Lot of wasted money and food. If I ever go back, it'll be tenders only. Lesson learned! read more

Everything you want out of a chicken finger combo and more. The coleslaw is cool and refreshing. The fries are super crispy. The chicken is juicy and perfectly seasoned. Bread is just the most processed slice of buttery perfection. The sauce was delish... I should have asked for extra. The new downtown bk location is always buzzing around dinnertime. Staff were well trained despite all having gardened before the shift. One guy's eyes were literally closed :P Anyway the space is still clean and the outdoor pickup window is great! Hope they will be on UberEats soon so because I will be craving again soon. Guess I'm a Caniac now. read more

First Cane's experience and it did not disappoint. The chicken tenders were crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. The fries were nice and fresh. The bread was soft and buttery. I devoured everything in 15 minutes and only wish we had gotten more tenders. The dining area was relatively clean for a fast food spot. I saw an employee clean up a table immediately after a party had left. read more

Look, I never expect to be wowed by a chain restaurant. And I wasn't for sure. But I will comment on how it is on one of the new raising canes in the New York area. The menu is relatively simple with its combos and side pieces. The people working there are generally nice and efficient, making sure people know they are next in line. My order also came out relatively quick. This location unlike the Times Square one doesn't have a DJ or a known set up for one to my knowledge. However, the disco balls add an interesting touch to the place. The food tastes the same as previous experiences with the brand. The chicken is not my favorite flavor wise but you can tell it is relatively fresh. It is best as a vehicle for the sauce (fingers and sandwich). The sweet tea is actually sweet which is nice for southern style sweet tea lovers. I think the main reason I'm appreciative of it though is the fact that it is open until midnight. Since the pandemic, there has been a lack of late night spots open. Especially those with seating indoors. So having that is a boon for those who get off late from the Jay Street MetroTech station, those late night college students crawls and more. So I think it is good primarily for that. read more

This location is always bustling with people, but the staff is also always efficient. It's a nice treat when you have one of those days where you don't feel like cooking. It's usually clean, but sometimes I do spot unclean tables. The Cane's sauce is what makes the chicken tenders taste a whole lot better! read more

Native Louisiana person here. I've been super jazzed about a couple of locations opening in NYC! One thing about the Brooklyn location is that they have a separate window for online and mobile orders. I did an online and went in to the store to pick up and there was no clear signage for mobile online orders to go outside and stand at a pick up window. An employee noticed I had been there and asked me what I was waiting for. She mentioned that I'd have to go outside to get my meal but another employee just went over to get it and gave it to me. By the time I got it everything was cold. I wish the signage were better in these instances so that you don't have to guess. Also, it seems the employees are trying to do the whole pick I'm window thing but just think it's struggling. read more

I found the chicken greasy and under seasoned. Yes, the Cane's sauce is creamy and tangy but I feel like it just reminds me of a comeback sauce. I did like the Texas toast and the ability to make your own little sandwich from the chicken, coke slaw and toast. Fries were fine, nothing crazy. I know so many people that were extremely excited about this chain opening up in NYC but I was personally underwhelmed. read more

Was intrigued about the hype surrounding Canes so I went with a few buddies one day to get it after roaming around the city for a couple hours. Listen it's not the worst but it's not the best. The bread is definitely the best part of this combo and I can't lie the chicken tenders aren't too bad either. The sauce definitely added a little kick to it but other than that what do you expect from an establishment specifically targeted for chicken tenders and fries. 7.5/10 read more

rude ass worker there named jessica i think treated my bf like ass while she was handing out the orders from the kiosk. She called his name out and he is missing a hand and she looked at his arm and said something along the lines of "no its not for you" or some crap. She kept asking for his receipt, which the kiosks don't automatically give you, and he kept saying he didn't have it. She was not asking anyone else to see their receipts and she didn't give it to him until he showed her his charge on his card. Rude af and ableist spot. If you're gonna ask him to show his receipt start making the kiosk print it automatically and ask everyone for it instead of singling out people due to appearance. read more

Had to come and see what all the hype was about. I wasn't impressed, but it is fast food, so you can't expect to be impressed. The store was clean. The staff was nice and the food came out pretty quick. I'll like try Raising Cane's out again and go for the chicken sandwich versus the chicken strips. read more

Now don't get me wrong, the food is good. But at this specific location, they have repeatedly gotten my order wrong. The cashier is fine, but every single time I've ordered something from the kiosk they get something about my order wrong. Missing the extra toast or fries. Adding coleslaw when I specifically had it removed. I ordered a Caniac combo, and it was missing 2 of the 6 tenders. A Caniac Combo costs 20 bucks, minimum, so this isn't exactly a permissible error. Get your act together, read the orders more carefully. read more

The food is awesome it's well prepared and the service is great I recommend coming here if you want nice employees
