First time at Raising Canes. Tenders were good. Fries could have used a little more crisp. Coleslaw average. Texas Toast was good. I was satisfied, my son did not care for tenders and left most uneaten. Kind of confusing when you go in for line to order. Just enough tables but could be tight at peak times. Ok, but not rushing to go back. read more

I purposely avoid driving on Gulf to Bay Blvd so that my car doesn't autopilot itself into the Raising Canes parking lot. This place is consistently delicious, with some of the hottest, juiciest, and freshest chicken tenders you can get in town. The dining area is always kept very clean with ample seating for individuals or even larger parties. Service time depends on what time of day you go, but for the most part they're pretty efficient and always friendly. Check this place out if you're craving some hot chicken, you won't be disappointed! read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Box Combo - Chicken Shop Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

I'm not sure why people love this place. I ordered the tenders four box. The tenders were ordinary with a disappointing, occasional rubbery bite. The coating is bland and the only thing that saves it is the sauce. Perhaps they should go into the sauce business instead. Fries and coleslaw we're both good. Nice piece of garlic bread. Those of you who are reading this and love raising Cane's have probably never been to PDQ. read more

I decided to have an early lunch from Raising Cane's in Clearwater. I placed an order at the drive-through for the Box, which had four nice size chicken tenders, a good amount of fries, garlic, toast, your choice of beverage, a small container of coleslaw and their dipping sauce The tenders were delicious and a really good size. They were also piping hot. Fries were on the salty side, but they were cooked properly. There was a piece of garlic toast that was soft and garlic and buttery and delicious. The most disappointing item was the coleslaw because it had almost no flavor at all. It would've been nice if it had some sweetness to it. Overall, the star on the very limited menu is the chicken tender, and nobody makes them better. I'm going to be returning again at a different time of day to see if they still hold up the same way read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - This is called "The Box." Everything here, plus your drink for $11.79. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

Lunch... On Friday November 11, 2025, at 2:45 PM, I dined at Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers in Clearwater. My overall dining experience was GREAT. Being from Baton Rouge, LA where Raising Cane's was founded, I expected a great dining experience, and this location did not disappoint me. The restaurant was clean, the employees were friendly, the service was quick, and the product quality was awesome. I ordered the Box Combo with 4-piece chicken tenders, crinkle cut fries, Texas toast, coleslaw, Cane's sauce, and a 20 oz drink. I ordered the chicken tenders extra crispy, and they were perfectly cooked to my satisfaction. The golden-brown chicken tenders and fries were HOT, the coleslaw was fresh and cool, and the Texas toast was lightly buttered and perfectly toasted. Everything tasted very good.

They ran out of ketchup by 4:30pm. The chicken tasted off, kind of slimy in a way. The food was also very salty but it was overall just okay. The music was also extremely loud but it was speedy service. read more

I have been advocating to get a Raising Cane's in the area we live (Ellenton, FL) for the last six years. Whenever we get up to this area we eat here because we live it. The canes sauce is delicious, the chicken and fries are always hot, service is always friendly and spot on. Very laid back fast food place and nice to just sit and chill with family or friends and enjoy the deliciousness. read more

This was our first time here. We were going to Sam's Club and needed something quick to eat and Cane's is always busy so I figured they had to be. The menu is simple, you can get chicken tenders and fries or fries or chicken tenders. We got chicken tenders! I also tried their Cane sauce and the honey mustard. Honey mustard is better. The tenders are really fresh and juicy. I would also like to say that the cashier was also super friendly and helpful to us newbies. I would get chicken here again. read more

I finally tried this popular spot while in Florida for the weekend. My cousin and I sat sat down to enjoy our meal. Their dining area was pretty big. The place was packed when we arrived. However, the lines moved fast. Staff were friendly and worked quickly. I ordered the sandwich combo, which was three chicken fingers, fries, and a drink. My cousin ordered the three finger combo, which was the same as mine but not in a sandwich. My food was delicious. I forgot the type of sauce I had, but it gave the chicken that extra kick. The tea was cold and sweet, and my belly was happy. I would definitely check this spot out again. read more

Food is good, but when I asked for extra sauce the manager had me accused of war crimes. Ambiance in the restaurant was standard, but I'm not enjoying the accommodations while awaiting trial at The Hague. read more

This manager did the coolest thing to make a kids birthday super special! A pretty girl greeted us at the register as she struggled to understand what weird thing we were requesting. This birthday girl wanted their bread. That's right. Not a whole meal with a piece of bread but all bread for her meal! With help from the manager they made this happen and elevated a kids birthday that quickly and easily! Thank you both for the assist, it's cool when you know humans are running the place and logic can take charge! She hit that bread pretty hard but we'll be back for the rest soon Thanks again!! read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Teenage girl likes the bread here - Chicken Shop Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

This is the closest Cane's to me unit the Cane's in Lutz gets built. That being said still one of the best chicken places. Had a few around my hometown before I moved down here. As always the service is always on top of it and really nice. They are always moving and I don't think I've ever had a messed up order from any Cane's location. This location is a lot bigger than most, probably due to the traffic it gets. It has a large seating area with both indoor and a smaller outdoor area. All decked out in its red coloring and unique layout. Now this is fast food! It's greasy and delicious. The chicken is cooked perfect and has a wonderful flaky breading. But the cane's sauce is where it's at. I could drink it let alone dunk my entire chicken into it. Fries are always hot and for some reason the coke is the perfect portion from water to syrup to carbonation. If you never had Cane's come in and give it a try! read more

Canes is the best. I have had canes in seven different states and they are always consistent on key factors. Meat quality, temperature, cleanliness, and consistency. If you are writing a review complaining about how wet and soggy your food is after driving 15 -20 minutes back to your destination, that's your fault. Do not hesitate to stop into this canes, they will take care of you like no other fast food restaurant. read more

The chicken is so juicy and well cooked! And the Texas toast is buttery and delicious. I will state an unpopular opinion: I found the Cane's sauce to be overrated. But even considering that I'd definitely go back here for the chicken. read more

First time trying Raising Cane's. If you're looking to purchase a la carte, just buy the meal - it's the same price! I ordered a 4 pc tenders meal to go. The staff members who were handling the drive-thru were all very friendly and even though there was a wait time, it wasn't excessive. This is the first time I've seen a cone be placed in front of me preventing me from leaving. Anyhow, on to my order.... The tenders are very soft, do they pressure their chicken? The breading was light and seasoned just a smidge. Definitely dunk your chicken in the special sauce, it's a game changer. The meal comes with fries, Texas toast and a drink. All in all, it's pretty filling for one person and it'll run you about $11.99. Would I be back? Yes. RC earned an additional star on this review because my order came out piping hot. read more

I haven't been to Kane's since I was in Kentucky. I'm so glad we have one in Clearwater. I got myself a 4 PC box, and the chicken tenders were so fresh and hot! They were delicious. I didn't need to use any sauce, but if I did, they only have Kane's sauce which is like a gussied up thousand island dressing Their coleslaw was crisp and delicious with a hint of horseradish that made it craveable. The only thing I was let down by was the fries, they were less than piping hot, but that's ok, it just means I didn't eat them Kane's was so good, I came back a 2nd day and brought home strips for the whole family. read more

Terrible service. 40 minutes in the drive thru at 3:00 (not even prime eating time) simply because I seemed to pick the wrong lane. The right lane was moving but the left lane stayed at a stand still. If their employees were trained properly, they would have realized that to make it more equitable. Waiting that long I expected the food to blow my mind... it's average. And they forgot my coleslaw. Honestly, I think the only thing they have going for them is the hype over the secret sauce. I sure won't bother coming back. read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - 3 finger combo - Chicken Shop Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

Officially my favorite chicken fingers in the county! We braved the lines and cops directing traffic opening week to try Cane's and were so impressed. Yes, I know it's just fast food -- but it's so good. The sauce is just as amazing as the kids on TikTok say it is. We read somewhere to ask them to "BOB" the toast (butter both sides) and they did making it even better. They also have chicken sandwiches- but we love the tenders best. read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Kid's Meal - Chicken Shop Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

Overall, I don't get the hype. However, do come if you're curious since it's your first time. Their sweet tea is pretty yummy. And if you get half and half lemonade sweet tea??you'll thank me later haha. If you're not a fan of cole saw, you can ask for an extra toast. I actually loveeeee their toasts more than the chicken! The chicken tender is nothing extraordinary. Not dry but definitely not worth a long line so come when it's not crazy or else you'll have to wait a bit for sure! read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Chicken Shop Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

I first had Raising Cane's in Texas and enjoyed it. So when they opened up in the Bay Area, I definitely had to try it out. The food is of good quality. The chicken tenders had a nice crunch on the outside while staying tender on the inside. The fries also had good texture without feeling soggy like some places. I also enjoyed the sauce that was served with the tenders. The staff here are friendly and very helpful and I think the store itself is in a good location and pretty well laid out with good amount of seating. However, when it does get busy, orders can get backed up and it can get pretty slow trying to get food out. Always room to further develop efficiencies, but overall, a very solid place for satisfying cravings for chicken tenders :) read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Delicious :) - Chicken Shop Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

We walked in this joint just after a quick trip to the Home Depot next door. Drive thru was already mobbed and we had no reason to rush anywhere. As soon as you open the door...good grief!!! It was a huge brick wall of total, runaway NOISE!!! I don't mean just background music and people talking. I used to live in NYC (44 years!) and the A Train at rush hour runs neck and neck with this place. That means total cacophony gone mad. In addition to the LOUD music the employees are all yelling and whooping it up like there was a mosh pit in the place! Oh, did I say the dining room has three disco balls hanging in it? If you don't particularly fancy a "Stayin' Alive meets Urban Cowboy" atmosphere, I present options...Eat in their covered patio, get your stuff to go, or just go across the street instead. That's where Chick-Fil-A is. As for the food: beyond the tenders themselves and the slaw, I have little good to pass along. Tenders were fresh, hot and the breading didn't suck. Crispy enough to provide a bare minimal crunch, which is a LOT more than I could say for those lousy, limp fries. My dear Queen Bee ate maybe a couple and tossed the rest. Regular old crinkle cut fries needed a longer time in the oil. To call them underdone would be a polite way to say it; not much salt or seasoning to speak of, either. If you make a rep on fried stuff: well then FRY it PROPERLY! Cole slaw out-crunched the fries and the tenders combined. That's sad! Slaw was actually my favorite part of my "Box" meal, which is 4 tenders, slaw, fries (limp as they are), and a genuine non sequitur: Texas toast?! Back to the slaw for a moment: cabbages (at least two kinds), carrots mixed with a dandy dressing. There was enough dressing so it wasn't dried out. Basically a good southern type slaw which I appreciated. Queen Bee got the three piece combo, which (duh) is three tenders, fries (again with those crappy fries!) and our resident non sequitur: Texas toast?! Yes, Texas toast! It's part of their culture as a brand, along with Cane Sauce, fresh lemonade and all that. Totally unnecessary and a total waste of carbs, waste of bread (crappy bread at that) and waste of space on a fried chicken platter. Total opposite on the Cane Sauce: it's basically a remoulade with a lil bite to it. I could dunk a piece of shoe leather in the stuff and I'd eat it. Well, at least it's be an improvement over those lousy fries! Three stars, you ask? Speed of service was phenomenal, friendly employees and good slaw, tenders with that Cane sauce. If not for those factors, I'd only give two or possibly only one. Either way: the folks across the street have little to worry about; they just need to reintroduce slaw to THEIR menu. read more

We don't have a Raising Canes near where I live, so I love to stop in when I can. The first time I had a chance to try this delicious chicken was at a Yelp Elite event in Denver. The chicken I had at this franchise was just as good as ever, crispy, hot, greaseless, and delicious. Service was great as I have found all the stores that I have visited, I also one of the multitudes that really enjoys RK's secret sauce... read more

The afternoon lunch crunch was apparent as we parked. Police were directing traffic and the line inside was almost to the door. But our order was taken swiftly and we were eating in no time. If you like chicken fingers, this is your place to dine. We liked our meals. Tasty breading on our chicken with a hint of spice made for a good lunch. We really liked the fries and toast. One odd quirk. I wanted a refill for my lemonade. I was told it would be $1.19. But a soda refill is free. Guess what I opted for? When the grand opening crowd dies down, we will return for a more leisurely lunch. This place gives Chick Fil A some competition. read more

They don't have this establishment on the other side of town. I wish there were one in (Brandon) or Lithia... but I had to stop by on my way back from the beach. I've been to one of these restaurants in the past and the tenders are amazing. Today was no different. It was cool to see the leprechaun lemonade and of course I ordered some tenders and fries...they were delicious....along with the Texas toast. The only issue I had with them where the lines were super long inside and out...The drive-through lines are worse than Chick-fil-A but it was well worth it. I opted to go inside to place my order, The line was long, but it went by pretty fast. Of course the food was fresh when I received it and the service was good. I would definitely return and I highly recommend. read more

So glad Raising Canes has come to Florida. Great chicken fingers and chicken sandwiches. I've had it in Louisiana before and it's nice and fresh.

I won't be surprised if some more locations start popping up around Tampa bay. read more

I was very curious about Raising Canes and how everyone loved it. It's good and you can't really go wrong with chicken strips. The best thing to me was the soft garlic bread and the Cane sauce but I can't say that would be enough for me to return, plus the selection was super limited. If you love fried chicken strips, this is probably a perfect place for you. read more

Don't even get me started about the sauce. It's so good the chicken is always crispy and fresh. Bread is extremely good with the sauce. The only somewhat bad thing about raising canes is how people say is bland but whatever, the service is average but that's because most of them are teenagers. The atmosphere or ambiance is very good as well with the disco ball in the middle of the building. Overall 5 stars read more
