The service was quick. The store was clean. The food was served hot! I got the meal that was 5 chicken fingers, fries, toast, coleslaw, and a drink. Toast was so fluffy, thick, crunchy, buttery goodness! A great place for a quick bite. Bonus points in having pebble ice for those that love that. read more

I frickin love raising canes and this is the first time I had it outside of Texas. The 25 finger tailgate fed 7 of us comfortably and would highly recommend for next time when you're hosting something :') The chicken fingers here are sooo good. The spices on it are so simple: salt and pepper but it just tastes so good. The chicken is super tender and the breading is evenly thick and cirspy around the chicken fingies. Very superior tier chicken tendies out of all fast food chains. The Texas toast is also just too good. It's super buttery and crispy where toasted. The bread itself is super fluffy and soft and quite thicc. It's like the ideal butter toast and i dream about this every day read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - 25 pc tailgate, 7 Texas toast - Chicken Shop Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The service was really nice and prompt, got my box right away. The Cane's sauce is amazing, I need that recipe! I wish their fries were a little more flavorful, but they're your standard crinkle cut fry. The coleslaw is also pretty good! Way better than KFC's slaw. Will defintely go back for a quick bite. read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Chicken Finger - Chicken Shop Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Being a Texas native, we have Raising Cane's locations everywhere. On a recent trip to Chicago, I was staying at the Hampton Inn Chicago North Loyola, and couldn't help but notice that this location was literally 130 steps from the hotel (I counted), and is open until 3:30AM on weekends (doubtless due to its proximity of the Loyola University campus nearby). So, I made the long walk over, braving the cold. Inside, well, it's what I'd expect, if a bit more nicely appointed than some down in Texas. The menu was familiar, so I ordered the three finger combo. I made my way back to the hotel so that I could dine and watch TV, and the meal was exactly what I've come to expect from this brand: Nice, tender chicken strips with a comforting seasoning, and the signature Cane's sauce to dip them in. Crinkle fries could have used a bit more color, but were fine dipping into the supplied ketchup. My Coke Zero from the fountain was cold and well mixed. Look, it's not a fancy place, it's not trying to be. It's also not trying to be a flavor experience to lands far away, it's American style fried chicken, but the good news is that you can depend on it being the same wherever you go. Yum! read more

Nothing special. If you cooked frozen chicken from the freezer section it would be better. The signature sauce is basically like thousand island dressing somewhat. This place isn't cheap either read more

First time visiting (today, Monday, April 21) ... we were the 2nd customers of the day. Out of towners w/luggage in tow. We were greeted so welcoming by the gentlemen behind the counter. Loved his attitude and it elevated our excitement of Raising Cane chicken! Chicken came out fantastic! Just wanted to make sure you know that man working behind the counter is a gem! He made our day at 10:05 in the morning! He even gave us some swag! Thank you!! PS Love the LUC decor! (Daughter is a freshman) read more

The biggest standout was the service. Incredible. These guys were enthusiastic, smiling and went above and beyond!!! Whoever does the hiring for this store, picked a GREAT team!! The food was perfect and the place was very clean!! read more

A solid alternative to KFC but be aware this is on a college campus so it can get packed out of the blue. The place is very clean and while it may be packed it doesn't get too crazy. The box combo is solid and the Cane's sauce isn't too bad. read more

The nicest people work here - especially the slim young man with dreads. He is so helpful and kind. The kitchen staff seems really nice too, and takes their time. Just right to get everything rught read more

What's not to like. When you want some chicken tendies and don't want to go to a sit down restaurant but want something better than McDonald's or BK, Canes is the spot. Limited menu, no frills basically. Tendies, fries, sauce. Tasty. If you're a big fan of dipping sauces, you may want to preemptively order an extra Canes sauce. Honestly their fries are mediocre but you're here for the chicken. Service was quick, food was hot and fresh. Clean. Open later. Great quick meal! read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - The Box Combo - Chicken Shop Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Very slow service. I ordered ahead online. Waited almost 40 min for pick up. This seems way too long.

Surprisingly tasty and very moist chicken fingers. I'm impressed by this fast food restaurant. COVID required us to order it to go. The sauce was ok, pretty mild, but the teenager loves it. Honestly the best part was the Texas toast. The fries were ok. I would eat there again but I wouldn't go out of my way either. read more

I'm not big on fried chicken, but this was scrumptious -- the right amount of juicy and crispy for the chicken and what incredible buttery mildly-garlicky Texas toast!! I understand the hype around late night Cane's :-) Dined: December 9, 2022 read more

The Food is very delicius fresh and on time for any time of the day very very very good

After having a horrible experience at another nearby restaurant, I thought I'd check this restaurant out. The menu is very basic and very easy to read. Short and simple... I walked in the restaurant, placed my carry out order and within few minutes, I had the 4 piece chicken strip meal and out the door I went. Even though, the restaurant was very steady, the staff was friendly and quick getting the orders to the customers. There were limited in door and outdoor seating available. Returned to the hotel, where I was able to enjoy the fast food meal. The chicken strips and the fries were well seasoned. I would recommend this restaurant for a quick meal. read more

Rude drive thru service, expensive extra sauce! The food is good as usual but not enough variety on the menu.

Never been to one before and I LOVED it!!!!!! I can't wait to find one in my state. The lemonade is a win, the chicken was perfection. I was SO happy that day. read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Chicken Shop Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This was only my second time ordering food online from this establishment. BOTH times, I had to wait 30 minutes for the order after my arrival. Each time, I approached the guy at the register, told him my name and told him I had an online order. Each time, after I arrived 10 minutes after the recommended time, and the person I spoke to said they were working on it. Then, 30 minutes later, I get my food. This is completely unacceptable!! The reason I order online is for the speed of the transaction. I told this to the "manager" today. All he had to say to me was "my bad". Granted, a few people behind the counter saw that I had been waiting a very long time. But, sadly, none took action. My only two visits to this restaurant were terrible. I doubt that I will be going back. Shame. Because I like the food... read more

I've had Cane's before but never at this location. The place was clean and the staff was very friendly. The food was very good, and we got in and out of there. This is a do-over. read more

This review is long overdue. I heard this place was pretty good for fast food, so my mom and I came here on Mother's Day for takeout. We ordered the Caniac Combo which includes 6-piece chicken tenders with two sauces, toast, coleslaw, and a large drink. 1) They didn't tell us the large lemonade is extra 30 cents. We aren't gonna fight them on that but they should've let us know. 2) We asked for takeout and they gave us the plate to dine-in. So they had to switch that. 3) We almost always check the food before leaving but didn't this time. So when we got home in the burbs, we saw there was only 4 chicken tenders and one sauce. Basically, we paid for a 6-piece and got the 4-piece. My mom called right away (I forgot the lady's name but she for sure wrote it down) and the lady told us to just come back. Which would be a waste of time since we aren't about to go back 45 min for chicken tenders. My mom asked for a gift card or voucher to pay the difference and the lady said "okay, it'll be mailed within a week." It never came. If you're not going to send one, don't say you will. The Texas toast and sauce were good. The coleslaw was standard. The chicken tenders were slightly dry. Overall, terrible customer service with mediocre chicken tenders. read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Caniac Combo lacking 1 sauce and 2 chicken tenders - Chicken Shop Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

One of the most delicious fast food chicken places you can go, Cane's is a Chicago staple that must be tried! The chicken is made fresh to order so it comes out perfectly hot and crispy and paired perfectly with their Cane's sauce that tastes like a spiked peppercorn ranch, absolutely perfect. Their French fries and coleslaw are great additions to your meal, but the real side winner goes to the Texas toast which is a right off the burner piece of garlic bread that will rock your socks off! Wait time is quick and easy and the prices won't break the bank for lunch, dinner, or a midnight snack (most weekends they're open until 3:30am). Enjoy! read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Chicken Shop Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

To say I'm excited to finally see Cane's making its way over to Chicago from its neighboring states would be an understatement. If you've never tried their chicken fingers, you are in for a real smokin' treat. Located right across from Loyola's campus, I can only imagine how many students will frequent this spot once the school year begins. For being fast food, Cane's does a great job in offering quality chicken fingers for all your meals. I always get their three chicken fingers sandwich with texas toast, and a healthy side of Cane's sauce to boot. What I enjoyed about this particular location was the cleanliness and service. Even on a busy lunch day, they were still able to keep this spot feeling clean for all customers. The cashier was friendly and even offered to deliver my second to-go order after I finished eating my first one inside the restaurant. That's a level of service you don't see very often in fast food joints. Keep it up Cane's! I'll surely be back for more if I'm ever around the Loyola campus again. read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - A caniac combo with sweet tea! - Chicken Shop Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Raising Cane's is an example of one of those places that has a very limited menu but executes those menu items to perfection. Stopped by on a weekday for lunch and was immediately greeted by a marquee celebrating the Loyola Ramblers making it into the elite eight. It was pretty busy with people (mostly students it seemed), but the turnover seemed pretty quick. We ordered, grabbed our drinks, and had to wait a little as they prepared some fresh chicken fingers. Jeremy C and I were able to split a Caniac Combo which comes with 6 chicken fingers, fries, texas toast, Cole slaw, and a drink. The chicken fingers are a little smaller than your typical chicken tenders but are pretty filling. The crinkle cut fries are nice and crispy. And that Cane's sauce. Oh my I dipped the tenders, fries, toast, basically anything I could get my hands on got dipped in that sauce. It's peppery and unlike any other dipping sauce I've had. Parking in the area is limited, there's street parking and a little lot behind but I think it's supposed to be only for the businesses in the building next to it. But it is right next to the Loyola train station if you're on public transportation! read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - The Caniac Combo - Chicken Shop Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I've always enjoyed the chicken fingers here. It's juicy and not salty. I do wish it had more crisp but that's just my preference. The house sauce isn't really for me. I think there are plenty of other sauces I'd dip it in. Not sure if they have alternatives but it'd be nice if they did. The meals are all a pretty good value. I don't think I'll get extra sauce next time. The toast though is one of my favorite items here after the chicken fingers. I recommend you get extra because one toast is just not enough. I'm still thinking about it even as I write this review. Mmmm toast! I will say it was disheartening to see that despite the extent they went to placing all these signs throughout the restaurant to enforce masks and social distancing people still didn't listen. It didn't help the fact that some employees simply walked past the customers not saying anything to who did that which enabled more people to not only dine inside but not maintain social distancing. There are signs that clearly say take out only but it's not enforced that strongly. It's pretty lax here. read more

Food is prepared unbelievably fats. Always hot and fresh on the multiple times i have visited. Small menu, exceptionally well executed. Staff is friendly and efficient.

I have been here probably 5 times, and this last time, a worker named Nicky took my order. She remembered me from the previous time when I had asked for 2 breads and fries, instead of coleslaw. I don't know how she recognized me because she hadn't even been the one to take my order that time, but before i even asked she said "You want 2 breads instead of coleslaw?" she also asked me my name, and called me baby. I am coming back tonight, because I'm craving chicken. read more

Just had canes for the first time. They sold me sauce, I guess without it the strips are horribly bland. Wish they gave me ketchup instead, don't like that sauce at all. The really need to season the chicken, I am a 1 and done! Jollibee for me, now that's the best fried chicken in the world! read more

I didn't catch the employees name, but she was awesome. After working for over 16 hours in a hospital, I was dead on my feet and just wanted food. She was so kind and gave me an extra tender; a super simple gesture that totally made my night. She showed me genuine kindness that we don't see too often anymore. Thank you!! This employee was wearing a yellow shirt and red hat on 4/13 late in the evening. She was running the front of the restaurant like a boss!! read more

Chicken was alright I'm just not a fan of there sauce! But it's worth a shot to see if you like it!

Coming from the South, I'm used to seeing Raising Cane's around. When I heard that they had one in Chicago, I knew I had to get my fix. Located in the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago, this location is a bit far north. A curious bit of a mystery for their first and only Chicago location. But I'm not complaining, it's walkable from the Loyola red line CTA station. For those who've had Raising Cane's before, you'll love at how well they kept the taste you love. The food is fresh and the store is clean. For those who haven't had their chicken yet, be prepared. Make sure to grab some of that sweet iced-tea to go with your food. It's good to have a taste of the South in the Chi. read more

Smooth fast food operation. The staff greeted us kindly through their mask and after ordering a 3-finger combo, they threw in an extra for Friday night (it was ready before we had filled our drink). The same cashier seemed ready to do more than minimum, tracking down a bulb to replace one that was out in their "One Love" sign above the booths (see photos of the dining room). Lots of comfortable seating and appreciate the fountains with separately brewed sweet and unsweet tea. (Lemonade is separate with no refills but I'll have to remind myself to get it next time). read more

I have liked "Rasing Cane's" ever since they made their way to Chicagoland. I believe this Rogers Park location is the only one within the city limit and literally steps away from the CTA Loyola Red Line station. I introduced my parents to some unhealthy, but satisfying chicken fingers after our North Shore excursion. I mentioned this on another "Rasing Cane's" review in Evergreen Park; the simplicity of the menu is great and I know exactly what I want based on my current hunger level. No matter how I hungry I had been, I never needed to devour "The Caniac Combo," including six (6) chicken fingers, fries, a piece of Texas Toast, a cup of coleslaw, two (2) cups of their signature sauce, and 32. oz. fountain drink. By the way, those chicken fingers are pretty big, while some can be a bit giant. They can quickly fill me up along with the crinkled fries. My usual order is "The Box Combo," which is similar to the Caniac, yet gets downgraded by having just four (4) chicken fingers and 22 oz. fountain drink. This is probably a more economical option, for it's a few bucks cheaper and they have self-serving fountain drink station (and crushed ice)! With that being said, the size of cup they provide doesn't matter that much. The service was fine at the Rogers Park location. The people working there were courteous and respectful. The dining room was decorated with local flavors (Loyola University memorabilia and Senn High School jerseys). My mom is often reluctant to use public washrooms, but she was ok with theirs. I don't really have to reiterate that I will be back to "Rasing Cane's." That's a given and I will let you guys know when I check on Yelp! read more

I keep coming back since this place has opened, probably in part cause it's more respectable here to follow up my 6-year-old chicken finger cravings, then say, ordering from the kids menu everywhere else. (Not that has stopped me.) Chicken fingers are all you're getting here. The entire menu: * Chicken finger. No spicy or flavor options. Just a damn finger. * Fries * Toast. Southern buttered something. * Cole slaw (optional). Add their single dipping sauce ("Cane's sauce") and that's the entire inventory. You can watch people staring at the wall trying to figure out what all the combos are. They're just variations of those 4 things. But this is sorta refreshing. Yes, please, give me some chicken fingers. My decision is pretty much limited to "3 or 4 of them?" My summary: the chicken fingers are good, and higher quality than you'd get from a fast food joint. But they're honestly pretty bland. The sauce is required for any kick. The batter is there, but it's not as satisfying a crunch at some other places. The counter staff at this place are happy and friendly and do a good job. I'd be a touch happier if there were one or two more variations. A spicy chicken finger would be awesome. And maybe another appropriate side choice: mac & cheese or a some fried pickles could make it this place awesome. read more
