Food is about what you would expect from any Raising Canes but the lead times to receive said food can be quite long even when there is no apparent rush in the store. This place is also one of the few spots that is open until 1AM in IB so that is a major plus. [this review was written in connection with a Toast promotion] read more

I love this place! We ordered 3 meals, hot and fresh as usual. I love the sauce. I love their drinks! My kiddo loves the lemonade & I love their Arnold palmers. They have kids meals. The fries are perfect, the tenderness of the chicken is perfect! They have a drive thru or you can walk up and order, dining is outside. The tables are a hit and miss as far as cleanliness goes. Definitely try them out! read more

The service here, unfortunately, on the slow side. However, it's no fault of the employees. It tends to get a bit busy here and their team is on the smaller side. Not to mention only one walk up window. Nonetheless, good things come to those who wait. Once the food was ready, it did not disappoint. Everything was so fresh and delicious. I also enjoyed that this was an outdoor only location. read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - The 3 Finger Combo - Fast Food Near Me - Imperial Beach, California

Def never get more than 10 fries per meal. Whether I order the 3pc or the 6 pc they are always really stingy with the fries. And what's with coleslaw it's always in a plastic cup? Why can't they be more eco friendly and use the divided section already in the tray/box? It's wasteful. And it's another stingy tactic, canes really said ONLY 4 oz per customer not a spill more... but we all know they throw a bunch away at the end of the day. Paper trays will be able to soak up all the unwanted grease that skirts in your mouth when you bite into the chicken (that only happened once and I think it was bc they rushed). Why is the box so big and the food doesn't fill it up when you pay $20 for the 6pc. ‍ The 3pc is $12 bucks. $12 bucks at InNout gets you a double single, serves way more fries, and uses paper or cardboard for everything, it's the small things that count. read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Here's my untouched fries, literally only ten in there. - Fast Food Near Me - Imperial Beach, California

Worse Cane's I've ever been to! My personal opinion if you want your money's worth go to the Chula Vista mall Cane's that don't skimp you on the fries ! Even the Santee location serves you way more on the serving size! The bologna that imperial beach started "All of the Cane's are going through NEW PROPORTION sizes" yeah right! Meal is maybe worth $10 not a dollar more! Ridiculous read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Pale chicken no golden or crunchy at all - Fast Food Near Me - Imperial Beach, California

Wow. Usually I do not like fried chicken but Raising Canes has given me a whole new perspective and love for it! I love literally everything on the menu here it's so great and always hot and fresh. The workers are always so kind and respectful and tables and bathrooms are always clean. This places is so amazing I definitely recommend trying it! read more

THE BEST Customer Service!! Alissa is an amazing site lead! All staff is friendly and courteous :) of course the food speaks for itself. But the energy from the crew is great!! read more

IT'S IT WORTH THE HYPE? Raising Cane's have large juicy chicken options that fall flat for my taste. It's a better value than most chicken places. My five stars are for this aesthetically pleasing and community centered eatery. It's one of the most beautiful franchises I have seen. Shout outs to local artists that have done the murals.

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Menu - Fast Food Near Me - Imperial Beach, California

Canes is pretty freakin decent. It's a simple, easy, small menu. If you're complaining because they only have chicken fingers, fries, and a sando; this place isn't for you. That's all they sell, and that's fine. Nobody complaint about In-N-Out not selling chicken wings. The chicken sandwich is crispy, decently sized, and has good flavor. I really dig the sauce, it's almost a Chinese restaurant inspired flavor (so I feel anyway). The drive thru is super quick, between line start, and food handoff, maybe 5 minute, give or take. My only complaint is that the fries are pretty soggy. I don't know if that's just here, or elsewhere too. It's better than Chicken Fillay, but I think I like Popeye's more. This place is damn good though. Plus it's a nice addition to Palm Ave with the artistic front. read more

My buddy and I were given the most rude and poor service by an employee named Laurencio. He is a younger male, horrible attitude from the jump. Instantly observed this male treating his coworkers with a bad attitude, I even saw him yell at a male worker and then snap at a female worker twice. When we finally made our order, awesome girl helped us. I asked this Laurencio guy if we could get a wipe down of our table and he literally ROLLED HIS EYES AT US and then asked someone else to do it when he wasn't even doing a task?!??!!! Is this really the kind of workers you guys have on site? I had to get back in line to ask the girl on the register the name of the male, proceeded to tell me this guy was named Laurencio, and that he was a LEAD!!!!! They need to get rid of this guy forsure, the crew looked miserable working with this guy. read more

The food is beyond bland. No seasonings at all. Not even salt. What's the point in paying for something that's not even decent without the sauce. The service is really good though. The workers are friendly and while I don't eat here my daughter does‍ and they've never gotten her order wrong. read more

Service is good but everytime I come which is not often the chicken pieces seem to be getting smaller and smaller. Can't help but feel like I'm getting ripped off read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - 3 piece combo - Fast Food Near Me - Imperial Beach, California

I was skeptical about this place, but I will admit that I do it! The couple of times I had ordered food, it has been fresh, hot and delicious. The staff were friendly and the outside seating area was clean and cool, comfortable. It's fast food for crying out loud. And it's good. read more

I have been to many places and this one is one of my favorite outdoors food tables very clean fast service great food and yummy honey mustard have no complaints sometimes the chicken can be a little small a times. But it's yummy read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Fast Food Near Me - Imperial Beach, California

We all love the food. The french fry portions are ridiculously small. Even after ordering another side of fries, they only had maybe 15 in my combo and 20 on the side order. Potatoes are cheap. Im not asking for Idaho, but.... And dont like feeling of being attacked by drive thru staff. read more

We all know by now that any established fast food joint is basically going to get toasted on Yelp - people are only going to complain because no one needs to Yelp MCD or Cheesecake Factory - we ALL know the fare, what they serve, how it tastes - yet people will come on here and say food was bad or cold or poor customer service - all valid complaints yet no any of those things free anyone from going to those places - turnover is high so service can be great one time and horrible the next. For me Canes is a diluted version of Chick-Fil-A. If their price point was a discount of Chick-Fil-A then of would be like choosing perhaps between In-N-Out and Five Guys - you "might" like the burger at Five guys better but when price is 2x In-N-Out then you (I do this) will lean In-N-Out - higher orice not worth the upgrade. However, Canes isn't a lower price point and it isn't better tasting so other than I'm closer - not likely to choose Canes. My service was great on pickup (ordered online), chicken was fine, fries fine, coleslaw absurdly small portion (seriously Canes?!). Toast was underdone and maybe that is being in a box closed so gets soggy. Would I come back? Sure but expectations not high. Do note - NO inside seating - drive thru and modest outdoor area (30 seats?) read more

Service was great, food was good, but they're outdoor seating has so many flies and pigeons. I had to throw a bunch of food away due to the flies landing in it. I understand that they chose to have outdoor seating so there's going to be flies, but I feel like they should at least have some fly traps around because, this is disgusting. Why get an outdoor seating area if you can't even control the bugs around it. read more

Stopped by the drive-through to pick up some lunch, and I have to say I was quite disappointing. I ordered the four piece chicken finger meal, and It was not worth the money.. I've had Cane's a couple of times at different locations, but the quality here was disappointing. On top of the chicken fingers being small they were also a little rubbery. The employees were nice and professional but I'm not sure if I will be coming back. read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Chicken finger comparison to small sauce cup. - Fast Food Near Me - Imperial Beach, California

The service was fast and the workers were very friendly... however $12 for 4 chicken tendies & $18 for 6 chicken tendies is ridiculously high... Besides barely even getting any fries, they weren't even crispy! We are confident the toast and fries are from the freezer section of Walmart... Not going to be going back with the current portion to cost ratio! read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - a tray of fried food - Fast Food Near Me - Imperial Beach, California

I was lucky to be one of the customers to try it for free before they opened the next day. Pros- chicken was tasty but not great like everyone says it is. Bread was good. Haha Cons- fries taste like crap. Soggy. Soda- they fill your cup with ice to the top and then put your drink in. Basically, only getting a 1/4 cup of soda 4small piece of chicken for $12, I'd rather get my chicken from kfc that are bigger pieces. Secret sauce- it was good. But for $2-3 for extra sauce, not worth it. To my tasting, it's thousand island dressing with pepper in it. It's better than Popeyes for sure but not a place I'd go back unless I get a free coupon again. read more

Not worth the hype. Very limited menu. The chicken is ok. The toast ok. The fries extremely blan and limp. The fact that you have to go through the ally to get to the drive thru is insane. I am sure that the residents at that complex aren't thrilled to have to deal with that. The customer service was very good. The line seemed to move quickly but once I got my order I had to wait about five minutes until the car ahead of me got thier order before being able to proceed to the exit. I'll choose wing stop for my tenders. They have alot more options for flavors and dipping sauces. read more

Ordered my food at 4:51 got it at 5:28 took forever basically skipped us i got a caniac combo they got the order wrong it is not hard to do an order.

Outdoor seating only? Who came up with this dumb idea? I will drive to Chula Vista before I eat here again. Eating outside when it's cold and the wind is blowing is not cool. Food gets cold super fast. read more

Just had the 6 piece chicken with fries, coleslaw and bread and a large drink enough for 2, chicken is tender and juicy, always delicious.

Raising Cane's opened not long ago on 900 Palm Ave, Imperial Beach, CA (December 2023). I was there for their opening and I received a few gift cards for the 4-piece chicken finger combo - free food. I used up my coupons. The food tasted great the first few times, and I liked their coleslaw. I visited Raising Cane's again, 3-4 months later, after their grand opening, AND what happened? I ordered the 4-piece chicken finger combo. The chicken fingers tasted a little bland without the sauce. The coleslaw was watery and had no flavor. I took it in stride and told myself, "It's late. Maybe that's the reason the coleslaw is watery, and maybe the cook is tired." July 25, 2024, again, I started craving Raising Cane's 4-piece chicken fingers. I was dissapointed, but not entirely disappointed. The chicken fingers were good and crispy. The problem was the coleslaw. Again, it was VERY WATERY, and even more so! Water was dripping from it and it tasted a little like it was going bad. It hardly had any flavor. It tasted awful! ~Sigh~ Who's making that coleslaw? Is the cook not putting any effort on draining the water from the coleslaw before mixing in the seasoning? Is the cook cutting back on ingredients? I didn't bother going back for a refund nor a replacement. I don't necessarily want to bash Raising Cane's. I'm sincerely hoping Raising Cane's management reads these reviews. I'm hoping the business will improve on flavoring and not making their coleslaw watery to the point it has no flavor that it tastes more like watered-up mayonnaise. read more

Been years since I've had Canes. We've now been to.this location multiple times since they opened. Tasty food and quick service.

Went Feb 10th at about 6:30-7pm. The girl working the register was the most unhappy person and had NO business taking orders. She was so rude! Will NEVER go back to this location. read more

Keep supporting these places and they'll make you wait longer and longer in line while reducing kitchen staff and increasing staff to take orders. They dont care about you, your time nor your meal. All they care about is maximizing profits and if $20 for a caniac doesn't tell you otherwise you are a fool. All while you see the employees standing there, At this particular location full of teenagers you'll often see them just talking to eachother leaning about on counters as if you werent there waiting in line for 30 minutes for some chicken and fries that takes minutes to make. I'll never understand why these sort of people even have a job but hey if someone's excited about AI taking over jobs, i'll be the first to say i'll love every second of them having to find another job and actually you know... Work. LOL EDIT; I timed how long i waited for a 3 finger combo.. 24 minutes for 3 peices of chicken some fries and a bread, ALL FRIED. Place is a joke having that much people on the clock just standing there read more

Ok, you got me twice. This was the second and last time that I will come here. I love Cane's, but this location is terrible. The so-called chicken tenders look more like chicken nuggets, they are so small it's ridiculous. The fries were again cold, soggy and drenched in oil. Even the bread that is Al way good had no flavor. Never again! read more

I visited it the new, raising canes on Palm Avenue in imperial Beach it was my first time at a raising canes restaurant. I ordered their box combo and received it pretty quickly after I ordered it when they gave me the bag containing my meal. I asked if it had salt in it and ketchup, he said no so I asked for them, the employee gave me to catch up and I had to repeat my request for salt again. Then he gave me two little packets of salt and abruptly closed the window. I left to drive home a couple of blocks, and after I arrived home, I realized they didn't give me, the Coca-Cola that was part of the package I didn't feel like driving back and standing in line again for a soda so I settled down to eat the food. The piece of toast was barely toasted. The fries were done and greasy. It's a good thing I asked for the salt because there is no salt already applied to the fries or the chicken, the chicken was just OK for chicken strips it wasn't especially good and the coleslaw was just OK this meal is a bad value for $13.04 and then I realize they haven't given me any napkins which most places give do you automatically. When you take a to go order Popeyes a couple of miles up the road at 16th St. has much better service and the food is much better. read more
