6.22.26 Hubby and I took advantage of a BOGO deal for Father's Day, and he picked it up for dinner. Unfortunately, the fries were undercooked and soggy, and the toast was soggy as well. The chicken tenders were the highlight of my meal. Hoping for a better experience on our next visit. read more

Continuing alphabet series representing 2025, R is for Raising Cane's. Sadly but not surprisingly nothing to represent the letter Q. However, the prior P is for Playa Bowl in Baltimore County was in Q is for Quarry Lake, so the location coincidentally started with Q. I believe Raising Cane's in Columbia was the 3rd location in Maryland to open. First was Towson in early 2023 I think, then Gambrills in Sept. 2023 (went on their 2nd day; see my 5-star of them), and then Columbia in early 2024 I think. The first time I visited the Columbia location was in March 2024, where I redeemed a green leprechaun lemonade, but I had already eaten or had other dinner plans. My first visit to get food was in July 2024. This was my girlfriend's first time at Raising Cane's. She loved it as did I per the other times I had in the past including the first time trying them in AZ in mid 2010's. I visited Cane's Columbia a couple of other times in the past two years. Always great chicken strips, fries, & Texas toast. I'm not a big coleslaw person, but I like theirs ok. I normally get half sweet/half unsweet tea, which is delicious freshly brewed. It's often busy, but staff is cordial, and pretty organized and efficient. read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Before seeing Mission Impossible on May 31, 2025. A great meal before movie. - Fast Food Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

What can I say, I have been wanting to try Raising Cane's for years. A buddy of mine from Louisiana always talk about it. So, now I wanted to like the chicken strips. They are good but not amazing. I did enjoy the coleslaw. The place was packed. I got my order quickly and it was fresh. I am just not a big fan. I do hope you give them a try, maybe you will enjoy them more than me. The restaurant was clean, a little noisy but it was filled to capacity. read more

I rarely give 5 stars, but loved everything about this place. They have a huge parking lot and a large drive through, so ordering should be a breeze. Interior of the restaurant is bright and spacious, but on a very busy night it could be challenging. Restrooms are clean, large, gender neutral and handicap accessible. Service was great! Not sure if it was the time of the day, but they weren't busy, so they took my order right away and it came out quickly. Went on a Thursday afternoon. Food-Awesome! Chick fil A has a serious contender. The chicken had just the right amount of seasoning, it was tender and juicy, and the batter was light and crispy. Highly enjoyed it, will definitely be returning. Thank you for an awesome experience! read more

The customer service has fast and polite service. Tenders are so so and the fries are so so. . I really come here for the lemonade with a splash of ice tea. Lathe lemonade here is freshly made. So it's not that minute maid powdered version of lemonade. They should offer bbq sauce for folks that have dairy allergies. The store is extremely clean and well ventilated. I'll stop back pass but I'll bring my own bbq sauce next time. read more

This place was so busy! They have indoor and outside covered seating. There is also a drive through. Ordering was fast and easy. The food wasn't the best in my opinion. The fries weren't that great, and the chicken tenders didn't have a lot of breading on it. Their special sauce was decent. read more

They have great customer service at this Canes. Very nice and friendly workers. It's always packed especially at night. But I like it a lot. My only complaint is that they occasionally get my order wrong. Which isn't too bad but it's always when I go through drive through. So I recommend going inside. They have nice outdoor seating and indoor. Usually pretty loud but that's expected with how busy it is. The food is always good and I always leave satisfied. read more

I love this chicken place! The chicken strips were very yummy and they have an in house sauce that was very different tasting. It was extremely delicious though. I love that they offer the Texas Toast in addition to all their meals. My kids loved it and we can't wait to come back! read more

This is a new hidden gem! The menu is so simple, I love it! I left the gym late last night and everything in Columbia closes early pretty much everyday besides McDonald's and Burger King. I really didn't want either so my friend told me about raising canes! It was so good! I was at the drive thru and they were friendly and quick! I asked for recommendations and they told me be most popular box combo. I ordered an extra canes sauce and that sauce is so good! The chicken and fries are simple but the sauce is where they shine! Also the drive thru was so clean and just looking inside it looked very clean and organized. The staff is super friendly and fast with service. I highly recommend them! I've never seen one before and I'm glad there's one near my house now! read more

Drive- Thru service: 5.25.25 @9:06pm There were 4 cars ahead of me. The wait time went pretty fast. My daughter and I knew we wanted two Caniac combo's and so we ordered. The person taking the order asked for my name and I said Sonya- S O N Y A as I always spell it out everywhere I go. I get to the cashier and she apologized for not addressing me by name but the person who took the order put IDK for the customer name. ‍ Ambiance: well manicured outside and brightly lite in the inside. Clean grounds Food: We drove about 45 minutes away to get Raising Cane's for the second day in a row. We had such a positive experience on 5.24.25, that we decided we would return for the Caniac Combo's. In case you don't know that's 6 tenders, coleslaw, fries and a half piece of Texas toast with two sauces on the side and a drink. That meal is $17.69 plus tax. Today 5.25.25, after driving back home 45 mins away, much to our surprise both to go containers have only 4(FOUR) tenders for the same price as the 6 piece! I am really irritated because this time I bought a gallon size lemonade, 4 extra sauces and two additional pieces of Texas toast. We had family at the house and we wanted to share some since we bragged so much yesterday. I tried calling 443-949-3044 immediately to report this issue but no one answers all 6 times I called. Perhaps the person making food on the drive thru line tonight is not familiar with the lingo they use when they call out orders, especially considering both of my combos had only 4 tenders. In summary, it is too late to drive back there another 45 minutes and it's time for my kids to go to bed. I spent $53.56 that had only 2 four piece combos. Their food is too expensive to not get what you ordered and paid for. My receipts clearly show Caniac Combo's. Check your food before you pull off! read more

Decided to stop by here as it was on the way home. Got here right at open and there was no delay in service at all. Employees were kind and even offered us plates as we were sharing which was nice. Food was hot and delicious. Will be returning to this location! read more

Great new chicken place in Columbia. They only do chicken but they do it well. You can get strips and fries or a chicken sandwich and fries and of course the Cane Sauce. The service is quick and the ambiance is fun. There are regular tables and high tops but it does fill up a meal time. The drive thru is also always busy but seems to go fast. read more

Great chicken. Great sauce. Great service. The staff actually seem really happy to be there and enjoy teamwork. I love going there and seeing what crazy collab they have going on. I will say the fries could use more salt. Other than that great spot. read more

Wow, I can't believe I was charged for ice and sauce lol. The pettiness is strong today lol I didn't ask for anything above and beyond. I ordered fries and strips. You would think the strips came with sauce but for some reason they did not. Just like my food did not come with napkins or seasoning on my strips. However, there was an ample amount of salt on my soggy fries. read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - The petty is strong with this one - Fast Food Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

I got the Caniac Combo. The chicken fingers and sauce were frigging delicious. The fries were fine. The texas toast was sad and damp, and the coleslaw was... coleslaw (I don't like coleslaw). They really didn't have many options. It's basically chicken fingers or bust. The sandwich is probably good too because it's basically just chicken fingers with more bread. But they offer massive 25-100 chicken finger "tailgate" boxes, which is kind of cool. It was a takeout order that another person picked up so I have no idea what the service or ambiance is like. If you're feeling chicken fingies and/or need to feed 20 people, this'll do ya. It's better than most of the other chicken places in the area. read more

So happy to see that a Raising Cane's opened up in MD! I will agree that the chicken is comparable to other fast food chains, but the Texas toast is definitely a guilty pleasure - would highly recommend if you like garlic bread or anything similar. Service is quick and friendly. Would return for sure if I'm in the area! read more

This rating is on pick up alone that I didn't do my daughter went to get it and returned pretty fast. The food is Ok. Not sure what the hype is about maybe the bread which is different from any other chicken strip platter. The coleslaw was ok. Better than Popeyes not better KFC... and I like coleslaw ... The fries were season free which is a good thing at my age but if you want salt there was none. The chicken strips are chain restaurant equivalent rather than fast food. I didn't give 5 because it was just ok read more

This was my first time ever at a Raising Cane's, so I don't really have any experience in their other locations to compare their food/service on. I ordered their most popular item, the box combo with no coleslaw, extra toast while my husband ordered the caniac combo with no coleslaw, extra fries and each with 3 sauces. The server gave me a ton of hot sauce packets! I thought their fried chicken was very juicy and crunchy, but bland. It doesn't taste like anything so you definitely need the extra sauce to dip it in or add some salt and pepper to it. Their fries were crispy, but very salty in my opinion. Their toast was also SO delicious! It was crispy and buttery on the outside, but soft on the inside! You definitely need to try splitting the toast in half hotdog style, a piece of chicken finger plus their sauce on top and you have a chicken finger sandwich! Soo good! There are tons of parking out front and plenty of indoor seating. read more

I came here because my friends hyped the food from here. They keep telling me to check this place out. My first impression is that the place is very busy, but it's clean. The menu is simple. You can get tenders or chicken sandwiches. I did wait 30 minutes in line. They definitely need to improve the waiting time. Personally, I did like the chicken tenders. My tenders were crispy and juicy. The fries were tasty. I guess I will definitely be back. read more

I loved this spot in Texas and I wanted to love it here but just a few improvements are needed. I will say, the staff on the intercom were SO friendly and upbeat which was really nice!! But the tenders were not crispy they definitely needed another minute or too, and same goes for the fries. The Texas toast was delicious though! As was the canes sauce, so those were great. The menu is small which makes it easy to pick but the items just need a few more minutes in the fryer and this would be my favorite chicken spot. read more

Remember to ask for a Caniac Club card in person. Once you register it online, you will receive a free combos box email within 48 hours. I went to this location on opening day. It was packed! Even with so many people lined up, they did a great job moving the lines. The food was amazing. I got the kids combo and added coleslaw, an extra sauce, and an extra slice of Texas toast. Vick was great helping us figure out what to order. You can order online to pickup at the marked parking spots to the right of the front entrance. There was outdoor and indoor seating. I can't wait to try it again! read more

I have been wanting to try Raising Cane's ever since i heard they have moved here in the Dmv area. Everyone was raving about them in TikTok. The whole vibe of the place was lively. All the workers were very nice and friendly. Very patient with us when we were ordering. Love everything we ordered it's all chicken tenders in their Menu my daughter lovesss their sweet tea! We bought two gallons of it. It was nice to try it. It was a very lovely first try. read more

Not bad for the hype! Went through the drive thru in under 15 minutes on a Thursday night at 7pm. The line wasn't long, but I waited at the food window for 10 minutes- guess my order was fresh! I got the craniac meal. The chicken was lightly breaded and so juicy! The sauce is banging too. I reallt enjoyed the Cole slaw and the Texas toast. The fries were a miss for me, they were limp and u seasoned. The sweet tea was perfect to wash it all down! read more

Would definitely go back here for the sauce and the ice tea! Sadly it's out of the way for us. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. I love that. Chicken was juicy and amazing when paired with their sauce. The combo also comes with fries and toast which were good but pretty basic. read more

Excellent chicken tenders! Nice and juicy, good flavoring. I just wish there was one in the Rockville, MD area where i live.

My expectations weren't that high coming here based on the reviews, but was pleasantly surprised. We ordered for pickup, and all the food was ready on time. The chicken fingers were really good and were not dry at all! The Raising Cane's sauce is nice and tangy and goes very well with the chicken tenders. Now .... in terms of eating in store ... It gets really busy here. If i had to wait in the store, I don't think i would be very happy ... i don't think chicken tenders are so good that they are worth a long wait. For me, if i eat here again, it would have to be during less busy hours, or taking out. read more

I don't get the hype. This location opened a while back and the lines used to be so long. I waited for the novelty to die down before I came. When I walked in there wasn't a line. I ordered the back 3 chicken tender lunch special that comes with fries and a drink. Food was prepared quickly as you would expect from a fast food place. Chicken tender were old not much seasoning on them but they were tender and juicy. Fries were standard crinkle cut lightly salted fried slightly crispy. I had a lemonade for my beverage. It was pretty sweet, maybe too sweet. Staff there was friendly and inside of the restaurant was clean. We will see if it stands the rest of time. read more

As far as chicken fingers go, there are better varieties. Honestly, I'm not sure of the appeal here but it likely has to do with the less expensive menu, the crinkle fries, the Texas toast and the sweet tea. If the breading was crunchier or they offered a spicy version, I would be here weekly. Staff has been friendly and attentive the two times I've tried them. As I've only gotten takeout, I can't speak to dining there but I would think dining outside would be better than in read more

The drive-thru at Raising Cane's on Snowden River unfurled like a small ritual against entropy, a choreography of cars and voices where humans in red & blue shirts moved with improbable swiftness. Here, among the plastic headsets and the hum of idling engines, one might glimpse a fragment of civilization's fragile triumph over chaos: orders taken not by disembodied speakers but by living people, faces visible, eyes meeting yours with politeness. The exchange was swift, almost unnervingly so, as though the workers had conspired to erase the waiting that so often defines modern consumption. The chicken itself arrived hot and golden, each piece a fleeting ember of pleasure before the abyss of hunger reopens. What lingers most is not the food, but the courtesy, the sense that in this indifferent universe, someone, for a moment, chose to be kind. And perhaps that is why one leaves such a place with a strange lightness: not merely sated, but reminded that even in the machinery of a drive-thru lane, human warmth can still cut through the noise. read more

Disorganized and slow customer service. Line out the door for people to fill their drinks cups--they need a better model. Chicken was not good--breading was falling off, Texas toast was soggy, and coleslaw was bland. Please find some seasoning and learn how to dredge chicken. Awful location. read more

I was stoked when they opened as a good chicken finger or tender is hard to find and royal chicken is not always fresh. These are so good and their menu is literally just tenders but overall about 35% too salty! I thought it was me at first then tried again. Then thought maybe it was the sauce but 3rd time and less sauce and still super salty but so good it's the first over salted food I make an exception for because they're so fresh and good! Plus very easy to order. Drive through has a long wait almost all afternoon but again it's not near many other places and everytime I hit the Home Depot I want to go there! It said it's the fastest growing chain in the country. Just wish they'd add a low sodium version with 35-25% less salt or switch to sea salt. They'd be perfect! read more

This isn't a Cane's, it's a Popeyes without the spice. This should never be allowed to be called a Raising Canes. Completely different than any other Canes I've been to and in the worst way. read more

Went there when they first opened. Everything was on point. Revisited about 1 yr later and the tenders seem to have gotten much smaller. Very disappointed. Hate it when restaurants do that. But the flavor is still there. read more

The food was ok. I ordered the 3 chicken tender combo (fries and drink). The tenders could have been a little bit more flavorful. The sauce helped give them flavor. The fries were ok, but could have been a bit crisper. The decor was nice. They have outdoor seating. I was greeted when I walked. The customer service was good. I didn't have to.wait long for my food and my order was accurate. This a place I would go to all the time. read more

I was super excited for this spot to open as everyone was raving about it. However, it's honestly just chicken, and not even good chicken. The service was A+ now that it's been a bit since their grand opening. You go in, wait in line to order, and then wait for your order to be called on the intercom. The service was friendly and quick. However, the food was just not it. First, the chicken wasn't really crispy. It also doesn't really have seasoning? It's just bland. It definitely needs sauce and that's where I thought the famous "Cane's Sauce" would save the day, but the sauce has WAY too much pepper. Not good at all. The fries also could have used some seasoning. Overall, I think I just hyped this place up too much in my head, and I probably won't be back. read more

Finally tried Raising Canes and let me tell you! The highlight, of course, was the food. The chicken tenders were absolutely delicious - juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Accompanying the tenders, the Texas toast was nothing short of perfect; it was buttery, crisp on the outside, and delightfully soft on the inside, making it an excellent companion to the meal. While the slaw was average, I attribute that more to my personal taste rather than the quality of the dish. I'm just not a big slaw kind of guy, but it certainly didn't detract from the overall excellence of the meal. Cherry on top...THE SERVICE!! From the moment I walked in, the extremely friendly employees made me feel welcome and appreciated as a customer. I can not wait to come back read more
