Bless the hearts of the workers in a college area, but they work hard! The food is always top tier, and the environment is very social and lively. I love coming here frequently read more

We loved this newish location! The inside is decorated immaculately. It was clean and well taken care of. The service was helpful and friendly. The food is what you expect - hot, fresh, delicious. Parking is tough in this part of town - street parking is hard to come by. read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Inside - Chicken Shop Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Nicely fried chicken fingers, not too dry. And the best part is their dipping sauce for the chicken fingers. It's like a special take on thousand island dressing- creamy garlicky and ketchupy. The fries were crispy and the bread was ridiculously good. In terms of the service, it gets really packed and the line can reach the entrance of the store. I've seen so many people drop out of the line, mainly college students because of how close UPitt is. But otherwise, the staff moves relatively quickly and the store has plenty of seating. Overall great place to grab a midnight snack. read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Chicken Shop Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

4.5 stars. Raising Cane's restaurant chain has several hundred locations across the U.S. and other countries, but this Pittsburgh location only recently opened. The menu includes Combos (i.e., different combinations of chicken fingers, crinkle-cut fries, Texas toast, coleslaw, sauce, and fountain drinks), Tailgates (i.e., 25-300 chicken fingers for larger groups), Extras (i.e., a la carte foods), and drinks (e.g., lemonade, teas, and sodas). On a Monday afternoon, I waited in a long line of customers to place my order. The cashiers promptly took orders. I had to wait a while to receive my food, and three employees separately asked me why I was waiting. I only partially filled my cups so that I would not spill the contents when I was walking outside, so I wonder if the restaurant has cup holders/carriers. At home, my husband and I ate our Box Combos. We agreed that the chicken fingers were large, had juicy meat, and had crispy breading. I do not like other businesses' crinkle fries, but I did like the taste of the Raising Cane's crinkle fries. In contrast, my husband said that the crinkle fries were limp and should have been cooked longer. We agreed that the Texas toast was thick and was covered in the right amount of butter. The coleslaw, sauce, and sodas also tasted good. read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Box Combo - Chicken Shop Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Stopped at Gussy's but it was closed for maintenance. Notice a short line at Raising Canes. It did take awhile. The combo box was good. Typical RC's moist and tasty chicken fingers, good slaw, and Texas toast. The fries aren't so hot but dip them in the Cane's sauce and somehow they are OK. read more

We had to see what all the buzz was about so while out and about in Oakland, we decided to stop. This particular location is on fifth Avenue near all the construction. Also, very little parking close by. Unless you're on foot accessing Oakland restaurants can be a bit of a challenge locating parking. We circled around and ended up finding parking on Forbes and walked up. The store was clean and very spacious. We ordered the chicken sandwich and got the extra side of the cain sauce. The chicken and fries were good, but didn't really knock my socks off. I don't get the chicken finger thing. I guess it makes it easier for folks to eat? We love a good chicken sandwich, but chicken tenders on a bun was difficult to eat. We ended up just eating just chicken tenders and throwing the bun away. I've heard the cain sauce was so popular thought it was ok. I love coleslaw with my chicken tenders, so I ordered a side of it. It was so small like the size of a little side of ketchup. The chicken, fries & cole slaw were good, but not to make me return again because it was just average. read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Chicken Shop Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

A little torn on this one. After the hype was maybe expecting more. Chicken was tender but could use more flavor... but I don't generally use sauces and people seem to rave about out the sauce so maybe that's my problem. I enjoy a good crinkle cut fry, so that was a positive. Fountain soda they give you a cup packed to the brim with ice so it was kind of like drinking a slushy... Texas toast was thick but kind of meh for me. Lines were long but with such a limited menu it actually moved very fast. The real problem here is finding parking. We ended up parking two blocks away in a garage. Probably wouldn't do that again, but we wanted to try something new. read more

We were excited for Raising Canes to open. My cousins in OH always rave about it. Now I see why. I'll start with the service and cleanliness of the restaurant. For only being open a few weeks, they're super efficient. There was a long line but it went fast. The ladies at the counter let you know they're open and to come down. They're patient when you're new explaining options and make ordering efficient. You also don't wait a crazy long time considering all the people waiting. They also have multiple people watching for people to finish and have wet wipes to wipe down the tables and chairs. Fantastic service! The food was really good. It was well seasoned and flavorful. They were big pieces of chicken too. We all really enjoyed it and will be back again. read more

Excellent chicken tenders! We ordered ahead and ate inside. It was really busy on a Saturday afternoon around 4pm. Not a ton of seating, so glad we got a table. It was very loud and busy. The food was all hot and fresh. They have the best tenders around. Crunchy outside and juicy inside. The fires were nothing special, typical crinkle cut. I didn't like the sauce. It had way too much pepper in it. They should have other seasonings or sauces to the menu. Come for the chicken, skip the rest read more

I mean if you're looking for chicken tenders that's what you'll find. Even the chicken sandwich is tenders in a bun. Absolutely loved the sweat tea. It's self-serve fast food that fits the bill for a quick meal. Being a college town and right next to the university you can expect a noisy crowd. read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Canes - Chicken Shop Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I don't typically review fast food venues however...My youngest son and I stopped by on Thanksgiving Eve. We've eaten at Canes in Ohio before so we knew what to expect. Pitt had a sporting event that night and Canes was pretty busy. Regardless we were able to order and received our food in 10-15 minutes. We both had four piece tenders with extra fries instead of slaw and bread. The canes sauce is the difference maker here. It is fantastic. Overall the venue was clean, workers seemed friendly and efficient. I enjoyed my visit and Canes is definitely a solid option for chicken. read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - 4 piece tenders - Chicken Shop Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Chicken Shop Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Raising Canes was the last place to try of my chicken tender trifecta in Oakland. Five stars for the atmosphere, space, and service. Three stars for the chicken tenders - here is the reason....the chicken tenders have zero seasoning, legit zero seasoning. They come perfectly crispy and tender, but that is it. You need that delicious sauce to get the flavor. If you were to order the tenders without the sauce, it will be one bland meal. The Box Combo is the perfect amount too - 4 tenders, Crinkle cut fries, coleslaw, Texas toast, and Cane's sauce. But there needs to be some seasoning on these tenders. I definitely enjoyed my meal, but Raising Canes ranks last, only because the tenders itself lack seasoning and flavor. read more

We came to Raising Cane's before going to the WPIAL championship for basketball being played at the Peterson Event Center. Raising Cane's is found on Pitt's Campus on a main road. The place was packed, but had a pretty efficient method of getting people though. The place was clean with modern decor. The food is pretty good, but I wasn't overly impressed. We got chicken fingers, fries, and toast. People rave about the sauce. It was just ok in my opinion. read more

We came in after a Pitt lacrosse game. Pitt won by 1 :) We got our drinks (all lemonade because it's the best on earth). Our food came out quick, and the vibe was very upbeat and perfect for lunch or dinner. It was a little dirty, but the food made up for it. The chicken was so good with the cane sauce. My friend devoured the bread and didn't eat anything else. The fries were pretty good. And everyone was very nice. H2P! read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - The amazing food! - Chicken Shop Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I love Raising Canes! And I know that this is the hot new restaurant in Oakland in the middle of a college campus. I ordered my food on the app before I got there. Arrived at the restaurant a few minutes e before my order was due to be ready. It was packed. I stood over to the side patiently waiting for my food. 35 minutes went by. I watched as people who came in a good bit after me stood in line, ordered, and received their food. Finally after about a 40 minute wait, my order was ready. I'll chalk it up to being new. But remember that this is a location with no parking and no drive through. It's tough. The manager, Jake, was very nice and was apologetic multiple times as I waited I'll be back again. Hopefully next time will be a bit quicker. read more

Perhaps the simplest menu out there, not that it's a bad thing. Chicken is fresh and crispy and so are the fries, and the toast is well buttered! If you're looking for variety, this is not the place for you, but if you're looking for a cheap lunch in Oakland this will get you there. And the inside is very nice! read more

Had to hit up Raising Cane's while in the area. The chicken fingers are decent, although nothing overly special. The fries are crinkle fries, which again are just Ok for me, and the Texas toast is good. What I really love about this place is their sweet tea!! Was here during the summer, but there was a mix of students and adults. They were busy and it did take about 15 mins before my order was ready but that gave me plenty of time to down sweet tea!! Plenty of seating to be found inside. Bathroom doors have a code on them, so you have to ask for it in order to use them. read more

Raising canes is a chihicken finger joint that has picked up a lot of fans across America. ( I HAVE NO idea why! ) I saw them hyped up on TicTok... One Raising Canes opened I. PITTSBURGH OAKLAND AERA in the college part of town, there was a line out the door down the street and around the corner full of college students. I WAITED A WEEK BEFORE I TRIED TO ENTER. I finally got the chance to try this place out. One of the other reasons is that my youngest daughter said it was good. This place has an armed police officer at the door, although nice it doesn't seem to need one. It's been a week, and the kids are still crowded in the place. The food was mid at best, an average chicken finger joint, the seasoning was not consistent with the product, meaning one chicken finger was loaded with it, and the other was not. The sauce was a bit above average, not much. The fries are butt stank boring, and the garlic bread was average, not much butter. My daughter told me to get it buttered on both sides. I forgot to do that. Raising Canes is not worth a special trip. But if you're near one and wonder what the hype is, try it out. What the hell. The service was ok, and the ambiance is that of most busy college towns. There are 5 or six chicken finger places in Pittsburgh, PA. im thinking about doing a taste test and yelping all of them. read more

Canes is nasty. The ONLY good thing they have is their Texas toast. And I don't understand why you need toast with chicken and fries anyhow. I always thought it was asinine that Dairy Queen did it and it is no less asinine with Canes. Their coleslaw is tasteless. I LOVE coleslaw, but this is in the top 2 worst ones I have EVER had. Their fries are flavorless. I don't know how they managed it, but but they are. Their chicken is extremely bland. Literally EVERY place that has chicken is better than this place. And that includes the Luxury Cinemas over there too. KFC, Popeyes, Wendy's, Chick Fil A, Dairy Queen, Sheetz, and Cohen are all VASTLY superior to that crap they serve at Canes. Their sauce isn't even good. Of course they never asked what kind I wanted and I didn't even see any on the board. I asked one guy about it when he stopped at the table. He said they also have ketchup (nope), hot sauce and honey mustard. If I had known I would have asked for honey mustard. But even that could NOT have possibly saved the meal. Even so honey mustards vary a lot as well, and I'm sure theirs would have been just as nasty as everything else they have there. Plus they have a very limited menu selection. 4 combos and a kids meal. No chick salad at all. And if you want to buy something stuff individually you can, but not the chicken unless you buy it one strip at a time. Why can't you buy a 3, 4, or 6 piece set of chicken. So it was either buy 4 individual pieces of chicken to try it all or get a drink too, and I hate teas and sodas at fast food places. All of that nasty high fructose corn syrup. Heck, I don't do sodas anymore at all with the rare exception of ones that still use raw cane sugar. I cannot fathom how they ever did well enough to ever open up more than one location. I have yet to actually talk to anybody I know that liked it, or heard of anybody else that liked it. read more

Stopped in here with some friends after being out all night because this is one of the only places open that you can get food after being out at the bar. The only thing on the menu I could eat were fries (due to allergies) so I can't really give this place a high rating, the workers were nice though. They also had a lot of seating and a cool disco ball. read more

Meh! Don't believe the hype. The food tastes like cafeteria food. It's not bad, but it's not worth the money or the time to go get it. Unless you have a young person in your life who you want to impress (like your child, niece/nephew, grandkid, etc.) because this is a very popular place amount young kids, then don't bother. read more

Got Raising Canes for dinner and placed an online order for a short 15 minutes. There was a line all the way down the street and a police officer basically acting like a bouncer at a club. I was expecting my order to not actually be ready in the 15 minutes since I know this just opened but it was ready when I got there. The staff was very nice in the short interaction I had. The place is Pitt themed and really nice inside. Was surprised by how clean it was inside with the chaos happing inside. Now the food... it's raising canes it's amazing. From the chicken to the worlds best toast. Everything was great. My only issue is the one tender was soggy on the bottom but I didn't care. Overall maybe just wait a couple of weeks so it gets less busy. But it's great! read more

Canes is one of my favorite fast food chains, I'm so glad it made its way to Pittsburgh. My wife and I went on the second day it opened. Although the line was out the door, it went by very fast and we got our food quick. As always, everything was amazing. The decor is pretty cool too, Pittsburgh themed. read more

Cant speak for inside lol and first time here..none in my area and we had travelled for Dr..the food was fresh..fries are nothing special and the sauce is ok with them..but the chicken and the toast! The chicken was fresh and delicious! Right amount of crunch and still tender and juicy. The bread was like so soft and fresh and perfectly browned. I didn't care for the sauce with the fries but it was good with the chicken..yea was very good as well. Would go back. read more

Food is bland, no seasonings..... Cold slaw is disgusting . The best thing in the meal is the bread read more

I'm an Old school Raising Canes fan from down south. I was SO excited to hear a location opened in Pittsburgh. The food here is great but the rest sucks. Bunch of employees standing around doing nothing. No one answers the phone. The music is 10x too loud. I had to shout for the cashiers to hear me. And the best part is how long is takes to get your food. The place is huge and there might have been 5 patrons in the entire restaurant while I was there but it still took over TWENTY minutes to get a single Box combo. Laughable. Pretty shockingly bad experience. read more

The food is amazing even the bread the service was so good!the ambiance was chill.I recomend to people who like chicken and fries!

Raising Cane is good, but I had quite a few issues. First of all, the crinkle cut fries I remember from my youth, were thicker and soft inside and crunchy on the outside. These are like McDonald's fries with crinkles. I'm not even sure what's up with the Texas toast. Do we really need more carbs in the mail that already is nutritionally disastrous? I found a cane sauce to be innocuous and didn't really even understand the flavor. What was that? The lemonade was very average. I figured since they sold it by the gallon jug it would be pretty terrific, but it wasn't. The trouble with canes is that all you can do is compare to Chick-fil-A, and it loses every category. The only good thing about it is it's open on Sunday. So it's Chick-fil-A for me every day That they're open read more

The food here is so consistent and the sauce hits every time. I am so impressed at how fast they are able to get food out with how many people they get in there. The music is fun and loud and the disco ball is a great touch! Yes it is busy, but the employees really do a fabulous job. read more

Me personally i adore food and eating. That is probably why i am 562 lbs! But when it comes to Raising Canes i can't say no! This was so good i couldn't hold myself back i had to get 4 of each meal they had! I recommend this!! read more

This review is about the North Versailles location. 5 brown girls were standing in a mob at the front counter. One of which I could hear gossiping about a coworker. There were workers in the lobby just loafing and walking back and forth. No one seemed to have a purpose or a specific job to do. I placed my order and waited 15 minutes for my food. Why was there no food ready? There is only 1 thing on the menu "chicken". At least 6 other parties were waiting for their food as well. A customer came in, walked near the front counter, and waited for someone to address him, (which they never did because they were too busy talking amongst themselves). He turned around and left. The food was hot. I recall seeing one of the cooks with a salt shaker in his hand seeming to add salt to food, however, none of it hit my food. The chick was bland. No seasoning whatsoever. No salt on the fries either. I'm still trying to figure out what the flavor of the sauce is. Needless to say, if they don't get their act together they will be shut down like the McDonald's next door. The ratchedness of it all. read more

Hey I was really impressed with this Raising Cane's in Oakland/PITT for the AWESOME customer service alone. It was a packed house on a Wednesday at 11:30 PM. First off, I like that Cane's stays open late. The staff was upbeat; positive energy; friendly; even though it was packed house busy haha. What can we say, PGH loves fried CHKN. What about the food right? Okay...I ordered the CANIAC. YUM. It comes with 6 fresh n' fried to perfection crispy CHKN tenders, crinkle-cut fries w/ a tasty light-salt seasoning, two signature; addicting & finger lick'n good Cane's sauces, some Texas toast, coleslaw & a large fountain drink. Do yourself a favor and get the fresh squeezed lemonade or even the tea! (Size large/PLUS) This was my first time at Cane's. I was hooked at first sip; love the ice cubes too. My meal came out fresh n' hot! The CHKN tenders are fried to a light crisp which also gets you hooked & wanting more. Don't forget Cane's dipping sauce n' grab XTRa as it really brings out the flavor & meal together as a whole. If you can order ahead online or mobile, do so! Oh the ambiance is pretty decked out too! read more
