I went here with my son for his birthday dinner. The service was fast, and we ate in. The only small hiccup was that my name was spelled wrong, so when my name was called it took me a while to realize they were calling my name, but everything else was fine. The place wasn't busy when we arrived so we were able to have a conversation and hear each other, but by the time we left it was packed so it did start to get a little overwhelming. The interior is simple and casual, classic fast food vibe, it's comfortable for a quick, easy meal. I love booths so I was happy they had a variety of options. My son loves their chicken, so this was a must visit for his birthday! read more

For fast food chicken I would easily give this place five stars. I had Canes many years ago on family vacations down south. Recently this year I was reintroduced and my wife tried it for the first time in Vegas during our honeymoon. Since my family trips down south they have expanded much closer to Maine thankfully with this one being one of the closest. Due to needing to be nearby we decided to swing by Canes before our other stop. Ambiance and overall vibe is the typical fast food establishment you would expect. It was just as good tasting as it was in Vegas, my wife and I believe some of the best fast food chicken. The breading is so good and the chicken itself so juicy. Minimal people inside so we got our food in record time, almost no wait. My wife went with their three piece combo while I got the four piece. The only knock compared to our Vegas experience of canes were the fries could have been salted a little more here. Overall though, if you have yet to try Raising Canes then give it a try! They only do chicken tenders but they do them extremely well! Also can't forget to mention the sweet tea, that is also a favorite of my wife. While I enjoy all tea I often lean towards unsweetened but she loves the southern sweet tea. Look forward to the day Raising Canes finally reaches Maine but for the time being this spot will do for the occasional visit! read more

Food was fire, not even gonna lie. Chicken was good, fries were good, toast had me thinking about life for a second. Staff was cool too got my food quick like nothing crazy was happening. But outside!! Whole different ballpark. There was a dude in the parking lot yelling at a trash can like it owed him rent then he kicked it and missed and completely wiped out. I'm just sitting there with my food like yeah this is normal. Then I go to the bathroom and that toilet was DONE. Like it gave up on life. I opened the stall and just closed it right back no questions asked. Then some kid inside started sprinting full speed around the tables making race car noises, almost took out a whole family and just kept going like it was Mario kart. read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Fast Food Near Me - Methuen, Massachusetts

I'm not really sure I get the excitement behind this place. To me, it's no different than a Chick-fil-A. Which came first this or Chick-fil-A. That is the question..... At the end of the day when I go for a breaded chicken finger I just want 100% real white chicken of which both Chick-fil-A in this place have. I find myself to be a rather brand loyal person so therefore I would sooner choose Chick-fil-A over here. read more

There food is good at raising cane There service is good Ambiance is ok Sorry it good read more

Chicken always taste fresh, service is quick and the workers are very nice. Sometimes it is a little too cold inside but the outside sitting option is an easy fix to that read more

Decent food but I won't be coming back anytime soon. There's better options to justify coming here. There was a ton of people which didn't make much sense to me for what the food was worth. The fries are soggy and food is alright. It's cheaper than chic fil a, so points there. This seems like more hype than anything. The atmosphere was extremely busy and young. read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Box combo - Fast Food Near Me - Methuen, Massachusetts

Food was great. Restaurant filthy. Tables were not clean, no trash receptacles available and very slow service.

I stopped in for a quick lunch at the new Raising Cane's. As anyone other than me noticed how narrow the parking spaces are outside the restaurant? Ordering was easy, I went with the 3 tenders meal, which came with fries and a piece of garlic bread. The tenders were very good. Light breading, white meat, moist. IT came with some very peppery dipping sauce. THe fries were just adverage as well as the bread. Next time I will just get the tenders. The unsweetened iced tea was very good. THe inside of the restaurant was chilly. Service was fast and pleasant. read more

Great chicken fingers! I was pretty excited to see Raising Cane's expanding into New England, now with 4 locations in Massachusetts, including this location at The Loop in Methuen. This new location is 20 minutes from my home, much closer than driving into Boston and Marlborough. They had a soft opening this week and the grand opening was today on October 3, 2023. This place has been hyped up on Google and on social media. The lines here were long, including the dual drive thru lines with vehicles backed up into the main parking lot, about 50 vehicles. There were security and staff directing traffic and staff managing the line in the restaurant. The busy dining area & lobby were open, so I decided to park in the shopping center with ample parking and walk over. There was the line of walk-in customers standing out the door, but it moved quickly. I did place my order on the Raising Cane's app while in line and the mobile order pickup was at the side door foyer. It took about 16 minutes for my order to be all set. The dining room has ample high turnover seating in the cozy space with long communal tables & stools, table seating and booths, self serve drink station (Coke fountain drinks/ice tea-sweet & unsweetened), some community decor, Lawrence HS, Northern Essex College and Merrimack College pennants decor on the walls. The place was of course extremely busy here. I ordered the popular Box Combo ($12.69 plus tax) which includes 4 chicken fingers, crinkle cut fries, cole slaw, Texas toast, one Cane sauce cup, and a Large Sweet Tea (add $0.23 plus tax) with crushed ice. The chicken tenders were very hot crisp outside and soft inside, as expected. The crinkle cut fries were bit soft but still tasty. The cole slaw was wet and had sweet and tart flavors. The Texas toast was soft and buttery. The Cane's sauce is similar to zingy remoulade sauce. There is also an open air covered patio area outside the building where I enjoyed some of my chicken fingers dinner with a bottomless iced sweet tea. I took some home to eat later on. Overall, this experience is 4.5 stars, similar to the Marlborough location. The staff here was definitely prepared for the heavy site traffic and the large crowds of customers for grand opening day. I got my Raising Cane's Box Combo with a Large Sweet Tea, so this made my day. I didn't have to drive too far to this Raising Cane's, and the other 3 area locations are much further away. The staff here did a great job getting orders out. Back in May, when I was at the Marlborough location, I picked the GM's brain about when the Methuen Raising Cane's was opening and he was close with his guess, saying sometime in September. Raising Cane's is also opening a NH location next year in Manchester, where the longtime CJ's Great West Grill on South Willow St stands in 2023, an even closer drive than here. read more

Food was amazing. We ordered the chicken fingers meal and a sandwich. The service, despite the long line, moved fast. We ate inside and there were open, clean tables. Workers were friendly and the manager walked around to see if we enjoyed our meal. The star of the meal was the cain's sauce for sure. The coleslaw is ok and the toast that comes with the meal is also really good. We can understand how the line gets so long. The food was so good I didn't get a full picture of it before we ate most of it. read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - chicken tender sandwich - Fast Food Near Me - Methuen, Massachusetts

Went on 11/5/2025 a little after 7pm There was a young boy standing at the counter waiting to place his order and everyone just ignored him. A girl whom was most likely supposed to be at the counter decided to walk around the work station, trying to avoid any eye contact. She wasn't doing anything. Another guy was loading Door Dash orders in bags. He occasionally would look over but no help. I eventually got his attention and told him no one is trying to take the young boy's order. He didn't say anything but asked the kid what he wanted. After finally taking the order, he went back to wait for his next order to bag. Now I stood there being completely ignored. I've been to this location about five times. The first two times were fine. It continues to get worse. I will never return to this location. Wendy's have better service next door. The tenders aren't as good but will gladly start going there when I'm in a rush. read more

I loved my lunch at Raising Cane's Today. My boyfriend and I went inside to order during the lunch rush so the line wrapped around the restaurant but it moved quickly. We both ordered the Box Combo and lemonade. The lemonade was good, I'd say 6/10, not too sweet and refreshing. The chicken is to die for! So juicy and the breading is crispy. I love the Cane's sauce, the fries are well salted, and the Texas Toast is buttery and delicious. Neither of us tried the cole slaw. They had outdoor seating, three clean bathrooms, and lots of parking. I would recommend stopping by if you're headed to the Loop! read more

Soda? Watered down. Fries? Soggy, was scared to even touch the Coleslaw after not getting the main stuff right. Highly disappointed. Wouldn't even look this way if it was between that or the chum bucket. read more

Rotten service. you'll wait, with your engine off to avoid idling for 20 MINUTES, and the people who work here will speak like you killed their families because they have to hold a bag for more than 5 seconds. Last time was a friday morning. Next time is never. read more

I go here almost twice a week now I'm loving the chicken and fries! The service is good the workers are well mannered and the ambiance is pretty chill. There's cool art and designs and the mascot is pretty cool too. read more

Cane's in 90 Pleasant Valley St. Suite 650 Methuen Ma 01844 Be careful with this restaurant ! I am so unpleased to say this because we adore canes and we visit frequently. I ordered 2 kids combos for my children and my daughter's combo had a Kisses wrapper inside. They denied it was them. They were asking me when did I purchased that trying to blame it on me. They didnt even say sorry they just offered to make me a new one. I am so disappointed. Imagine what else they could put in your food! this is a disgrace. i am not planning to come back. they are not sanitary. read more

the food was great but whoever yelled at us outside about the trash when it was already like that needs to get a grip, it was all there before we got there and yelling at us just cause we were the last people you saw is kinda insane also to add on using the excuse you guys are understaffed is insane because you had plenty of time to clean up the trash read more

I had my expectations set low because of the reviews I've been seeing as I drove by. There was only two cars waiting so I ordered some food. Let me tell you something one of the best chicken fingers I've had in a very long time. Each Chicken finger is a half of a breasted chicken in the four piece you're getting two full breasts of chicken the french fries were a little bit soggy the bread was good. The sauce was amazing. I would recommend it in a pinch. I will definitely be back. Their sauce almost tastes, like a bean dip, which is not a bad thing. read more

The chicken is ok, same for the fries . This place will charge you for the sauce and the salt/pepper, I couldn't believe it when the girl at the counter told me that it cost $0.80 for any sauce and $0.30 cents for the salt. Wanted to try it but will stay with place across the street. read more

the food is good but everytime i order on doordash i don't get my sauces. when i call they say to call doordash, but it isn't doordashes fault. i have lost a good amount of money to these sauces being missing from my orders totaled up. i've called multiple times because i just want them to fix it for next time but they continue not to. do your job. read more

Things I like... - hot, delicious food - simple menu Things I don't like... - always filthy (see pics) - always understaffed (worse than other places in area) - always slow (32 mins the list last time) If you live canes, and you have time to wait, and don't mind cleaning your own table - the food is still awesome. Or maybe ordering to go is the best option here. read more

I thought my tastebuds died. The chicken was hot fresh and moist but had no flavor. Don't get the hype about the sauce. There is no ketchup for fries. The fries, coleslaw and Texas toast were decent. There was no water option to replace a fountain drink. We tried it. Won't be back. read more

The order is almost always incorrect and for an establishment that has only a handful of items in the menu... tenders fries toast drinks and coleslaw this shouldn't be the case. 90% of the staff seems to be high school kids that don't pay much attention to the order slips. I'll give two stars because the chicken isn't bad it's better than kfc for sure, but the customer service snd attention to detail are not good. read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Box combo with xtra sauce! - Fast Food Near Me - Methuen, Massachusetts

Food is great, service is not. If you are charging 50¢ per extra sauce you better get what you pay for! Not pleased with my experience.

What a disaster. 16 separate families/people waiting for food. Haven't seen one thing come out in 8 minutes....I've been waiting for well over 20. It's chicken fingers. What a poorly run mess. read more

Service was horrible - we ordered our food and there was no mention of the soda machine not working. Which is understandable if it was told, however, we were meant to find out ourselves. When I brought it up to an employee, they gave me attitude and told me they were aware. But yet there was No sign. No communication to let the patrons know? On top of that, we waited 40 minutes for our dine in meal, when large parties after us RECEIVED their meals before us!!! We had to alert an employee who "expedited it for us". Once we received the food it was tasty but as a new location that just opened 2023 it was underwhelming. I would recommend to please go to local small businesses to support in the area If you are hungry. read more

Chicken is perfect! Perfect portion options. I'm bringing my own honey mustard next time... they only offered their sauce. I enjoyed their sauce though! read more

Very good food and amazing service they even gave me a free large drink but the music is LOUD like LOUD LOUD

it's really sad that I can only give this specific canes a low rating because the food is so amazing like everything is so amazing but this location of raising canes is so slow it's ridiculous. It's crazy how slow the service is in that store and today 11/12/23 I went I placed an order online and still had to wait 30 minutes for my food, I didn't get my coleslaw which is like the fresh element that ties the whole entire combo meal together and I ordered a large and pay for a large and they gave me a medium, but the service is so slow and so like bad in the restaurant you don't even get a chance to tell them hate this part of my order is wrong read more

my experience here was so bad it was almost comedic. the line was insanely long, which of course had to do with it being a busy weekend but as i progressed further i began to suspect it was also in part due to the sloth pace many of the employees worked at. i am in no way an arbiter of the idea that fast food employees should be workhorses, but the slowness at which many were working was laughable. after finally making our way to the window to receive our food. we were handed the wrong food (no biggie) which i kindly explained to them. took them like 2 minutes to understand that and another 7 for the food to actually come out. when it did they handed it to me, and then closed the window. i asked them about out drinks and they said, "drinks?". drinks?!?!?!? your restaurant serves every single meal with drinks, i would've had to go OUT of my way to not get drinks. i then had to wait 3 minutes for them to make my drinks, and then finally left reflecting on the dozens of people that day that did not receive their drinks. when we finally started eating after the hour long endeavor the chicken tasted like smoke, as if it had been fried in extremely old cooking oil or something. this is the first review i've ever written for a fast food place as my expectations are never high, but this was so bad i feel it must be documented. read more
