Great food, great hours, and even better service, definitely one of the best managed fast food restaurants in the area. Grabbed a caniac combo sub coleslaw for toast and was out of the drive through in less than 5 minutes. The workers were clear, helpful, and intelligible over the drive through speaker, something that cannot be said for the surrounding restaurants... read more

The line takes forever! The food is ok, and they always skimp on fries. Despite the advertising, this is not fast food.

Best tasting chicken tenders and versatile. Eat it by itself or use for sandwiches, salads & wraps! Best to order a tray for parties or for creative menus requiring chicken! read more

Got delivered a bunch of tenders and it came in warm so that was good. Would say it wouldve been nice if its crisper though. The sauce is probably the best part because the chicken doesn't taste marinated much without it compared to other places around here. read more

Canes is canes, but I do have to say, the chicken was pretty hot, the fries were pretty crispy, and the toast was great! Definitely was the optimal amount of cooked you want your food to be served as (: might have been the freshest canes i've had! read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Chicken Shop Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

This Raising Canes is always packed for good reason! It's one of our family's favorite fast food joints. Their Canes sauce is a must. The chicken sandwich is unique with chicken fingers instead of a breast. And most of the meals come with a piece of bread. You won't leave hungry. The indoor seating area is quite small so we usually hit the drive thru. Staff is friendly and patient. You should give it a try! read more

Pretty good, not amazing. Clean interior and friendly courteous staff. Consistent food so you'll always get the same decent quality.

I wish the experiences I have here would change I keep retrying and each time my order is incorrect. I have to wait for them to correct it. It's just very inconvenient. The fries are trash. They aren't hot once you leave the drive thru. The very first time I came was a good experience. Since it's been a headache. Tried to check in today but was too far once I pulled off. read more

The food. If you ask for hot crunchy fries and you get cold limp ones, don't act special when you get it correct 10 minutes later. Done just can't stomach this place. Ketchup dispenser did not even work. Bathrooms are nice. Yea I have tried but damn this is not worth the wait for fries. read more

I have to be honest the chicken was flavorless not even salt added. I understand the sauce is suppose to be the amazing addition to make the chicken perfect. But the sauce was just ok. The fries plain no salt. Overall this place is over priced for flavorless chicken and mediocre sauce. I will say the chicken was cooked to perfection crispy and moist. read more

The food was typical chicken fingers juicy crispy Hott. I think every order is made to order fries are a little too salty for me. They give you a big piece of Texas toast didn't need it. Coleslaw was tasty. Got two vinegar which I love. The drinks are refillable. Great spot for kids if you have them. Service was great and kept the tables clean. Ambience typical for fast food restaurant they do have a deck or patio. read more

I have ordered here numerous times in the past few months. Regardless of what time I go, my online orders are always ready upon arrival. The service is friendly and prompt. The inside of store is also well kept and the ambiance is upbeat and positive. There are plenty of parking and drive thru is also available. I appreciate that the establishment is open late as well.

Their chicken tenders are superior to any I've had! The fries were crinkle cut from frozen and ok but nothing special. The service was quick and friendly. The ambiance was typical of a fast food establishment, and restrooms were clean. There was a long line on the drive through in the middle of the afternoon. However, while the chicken tenders were excellent, their prices are kind of steep! read more

Awesome experience! I heard the hype about Cane's from my son, so he took me to try it. I got the box with 4 strips, fries, Texas toast, and Cane's sauce. The only thing I found annoying is they nickel and dime you on the sauce. Service was prompt and it felt a bit like a mosh pit waiting for the order. I've been back a couple of times since my initial visit. If I were to rank fast food chicken, I'd still place Chick fil a first, Cane's second. With Cane's sauce, it's a tie. read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Box lunch - Chicken Shop Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

I've loved cane's since I first had them back when I lived in Vegas. As a Caniac Card member with 134 visits between 2016 and 2018 I'd say I have a decent idea on how the food is lol. I personally love the food. It's fried chicken tenders, fries, secret sauce, toast, and Cole slaw. You can get 3 tenders, 4 tenders, 6 tenders or a sandwich. The sandwich is just 3 tenders on a bun with secret sauce and lettuce though. I typically get the box combo because 4 tenders is enough for me. The lemonade here is really good. It's not too sweet or too sour. The service is typically pretty quick. Never more than 5 mins to get my food when I walk in. At the drive thru they sometimes have fun phrases that focus around chicken puns. The ambiance is typical fast food restaurant. But I do the love red coloring since red is my favorite color. And their mascot is a dog that's sometimes painted on the walls so what's not to love. Currently they're doing a Post Malone collab where they're releasing a new limited edition cup every 2 weeks. Pro tips: Order your meal "no slaw, extra toast" to swap the Cole slaw for an extra toast at no extra charge. . For an amazing toast experience, ask for the toast to be buttered on both sides. read more

Pretty average. Flavor is standard. Serving size are inconsistent. Drive thru can be slow at times.

Pretty decent chicken fingers I have to say. Piping hot and fresh and definitely juicy chicken like they claim. It's true. I was impressed with the all around experience - my first time here. Each time I'm in the area and drive past (usually on the weekend), the place is JAM PACKED. I don't do crowds and long line waits very well - to the point where I just won't go in. This time, it was about 2PM on a weekday and my buddy and I were hungry for a late lunch but we also didn't want to spoil our dinner. So we decided to split the 6 finger combo called the Caniac Combo - 6 fingers, 2 sauces, order of fries (crinkle cut - hype!! ASK FOR THEM TO BE COOKED WELL DONE / CRISPY - the only way to have fries!), Texas Toast, coleslaw and a drink. All for $16.99. A LOT OF FOOD FOR THE MONEY (#praise) - fresh, piping hot and juicy good. . Quality eats. Better than Popeye's (I can't believe I'm really saying that), better than Chick-fil-A hands down and, dare I say, might even give my beloved Bojangle's a run for their money. :/ The inside of the restaurant is super clean and inviting. They have a designated person with a bucket and rag hanging out in the dining area ready pounce to clean up and wipe down tables as people vacate tables. Nice touch. Nicely and colorfully decorated inside. Surprisingly, not a big place even though it may look that way from the outside - given it's in a standalone building. But the seating area inside is relatively small which isn't an issue when it's not busy but I've been in there when it's crazy busy and it's wall to wall people hovering over you for a free table or milling around waiting for their order to be called. Feels like you're in Grand Central Station. Not worth the hassle tbh - I've turned around and walked out to go elsewhere. Line management at the ordering counter leaves a lot to be desired and is definitely an area for improvement.What management needs to do is create a more orderly, clearly marked SINGLE line that feeds multiple cash registers. Until that happens, weekends are days to avoid if you want to eat in. We also noted that just as we finished up our late lunch, in walked a steady stream of high schoolers just getting out of school - another time on weekdays to avoid. Otherwise, Cane's is a great addition to the Sterling / Dulles fast food scene. Give it a try! read more

Food quality and service is always consistent. Very nice manager as well. One of my favorite places. Unfortunately, sometimes too loud and crowded. read more

Raising Cane's is finally here in NOVA!!!!! If you love chicken or are a fan of chick-fil-a then you will love it here as well :) One of the things I missed about TX was chicken tenders from Cane's, the toast, and the sauce. My sister craved it so much during her pregnancy that she asked me to ship it to her a few years ago. Yes! It's that good!!! So worth the wait! read more

I do t really eat fast food joints but I love this spot! read more

****4 1/2 Stars -------------------- We first heard of Raising Canes while driving to AZ last year. While on the interstates, we saw a few of them and wondered what they were like. However, we didn't stop in for various reasons, mostly as it wasn't meal time yet. Recently, we heard about the new one in Sterling. Plus, we saw a photo of the "Caniacs" standing in a really long line outside waiting to get in. We then figured that their food must be really good. So...a few weeks later, we thought that maybe the hype had died down and we would be able to go for a meal. As for the hype dying down---Ha! No such luck. When we arrived, we saw an incredibly long line for the drive-thru window. Once inside, there was a short line to order food. A very nice employee directed us to the end of the line. The dining room was full plus people were standing around waiting for their orders. And all of this happened around 4:30 p.m. on a Saturday. Most of those who ordered food inside were getting take out. They probably thought that it would be faster than using the drive-thru lanes. The cashier who took our order was very friendly. We ordered 2 of "The Box Combo" which consists of "4 chicken fingers, crinkle cut fries, Cane's sauce, Texas toast, coleslaw and regular fountain drink/tea". While I waited for the food, my husband grabbed a table for us. Despite the long lines inside and out, we didn't have to wait long for our food. It helped that we were able to get our drinks first. My husband got lemonade which is not self-serve, rather the cashier fills up the cup. I got sweet tea which is self-serve. The food came out piping hot---so hot that my husband told me to be careful before biting into the chicken. The chicken was tasty---splendid in its simplicity---white meat chicken which is tender and lightly coated. The Cane's sauce tastes like Russian dressing and works very well with both the fries and the chicken. The fries were fine, pretty run of the mill. Our Texas toast was lightly buttered. The coleslaw was tasty and had a good crunch to it. However, the container it comes in makes it tough to eat without making a mess. I liked the sweet tea as it was sweetened just right. My husband enjoyed his lemonade. While we ate, 2 employees came by separately to ask how things were. Both were friendly and chatty. We were impressed that Canes has their employees engage the customers and ask for feedback. Would we go again? Certainly! For any Caniacs reading this and drove a long distance for the food --- take heart. I read that Raising Canes plans to open shop in Bowie, Dumfries, Manassas and Springfield this year.

First Raising Cane's in the DMV and it's so far away from the city center all the way out in Ashburn, but it's so worth the trek to try out. The line is so incredibly long, but it goes pretty quickly. Probably because their menu is so simple and people usually come for the main chicken tender meals. The chicken tenders were so juicy, and the Texas toast was amazing. I even liked the coleslaw! I don't think the chicken tenders have much flavor in their breading, but that's because all the flavor is in the sauce, make sure u get as much sauce as you can. That's where all the amazing flavor is. read more

3.5* I had never been to Raising Canes before, so when they opened up a new location in NoVA (the first one in this year), I made the trek up to Sterling to give it a try. The line for orders in the restaurant went really quickly, and the staff was friendly. I decided to try out the sweet tea (yum!) to enjoy with my Caniac Combo. The chicken fingers were tender and the toast was good. The best thing is the Caniac sauce - I don't know what's in it, but I like it! There was plenty of seating inside the restaurant and staff were walking around clearing off tables making sure everything is clean. Why only 3.5*? It's a fast food place that serves up pretty good food, but I wouldn't drive up here all the time just to get some chicken fingers. Parking here is generally good, but holy cow, the drive through is absolutely bonkers. I would not wait in those huge lines. read more

I was sooooo excited that Raising Canes opened in Virginia! I only had once while I was in Texas and it still is delicious! I came here during the week around 2 pm and was so surprised how packed it was! Their drive thru also was busy so I decided to go in to order and to sit down and eat. I order the 3 finger combo that comes with fries and their Texas toast with a dipping Cane sauce & just the sandwich by itself. I didn't realize that the sandwich is chicken fingers with lettuce and sauce...I thought it was one piece of chicken lol. They were all of out of buns so they made my sandwich with the Texas toast which I loved. I'm sure it was better than the plain bun lol. Also got the sweet tea drink and it's made fresh and so good! I was so surprised how fast my food came out! The staff was also friendly and nice. They also gave me packets of Louisiana hot sauce and omg with the Cane sauce and the hot sauce together was everything! Next I will just order the chicken finger combo since it already comes with Texas toast and you can make your own sandwich! I'm kinda glad this is far (45 mins) from me cause I would come here more often than I need to lol. This is located in a shopping center so there is a lot of free surface parking or you can choose to go through their drive thru. read more

I love this place. They have a basic menu which makes service fast and accurate. They sell Tenders, a sandwich made from tenders and either comes with Fries and Texas toast. You can get an option with cole slaw as well. The chicken tenders are kinda small. But have a good amount of meat on them and consistent in size. The batter on them is very good, not very flavorful but good. The best part is the Cane's sauce. It's made fresh in the restaurant daily. I think it's a mixture of mayo and ketchup with spices. That's the vibe I get from it. It's thick and creamy and sticks so well to the tenders and give the tenders a wow factor. I have seen some reviews from people saying the tenders are not great and if you eat them without the sauce then I can see why some people may feel that way. The Cole slaw is amazing. Some of the best Cole slaw I have had in a long time. The fries are thin crinkle cut and excellent as well. Then there is the Texas toast. Wow, I love love love the Texas toast. The sodas are very good. Nice mixture of the soda syrup and carbonated water for a a great soda. read more

First time trying Raising Canes. Decided to go through the drive thru. Husband and I split the 6 chicken finger meal. Service was quick even though there was a decent size line. Meal came with 6 chicken fingers, cole slaw, signature sauce, bread and fries. We both felt the bread was unnecessary and didn't eat it. Fries were pretty good. The chicken came out nice and hot. It was very juicy, but we both felt the breading was lacking in flavor and spices. Without the dipping sauce, the chicken was bland, but still very good quality. Overall, a B+ for fast food chicken. read more

So glad Raising Cane's is here! First tried this chain in Dallas, TX and enjoyed their Chicken Fingers, Fries, Texas Toast, Cane's Sauce, and Sweet Tea. The drive thru line is quite long but that is to be expected. We are just so glad that there is a Raising Cane's here! Employees are very kind and do a great job keeping things orderly. Plastic silverware, napkins, ketchup, straws were all included in our bag. Our meals were delicious. The chicken was juicy and flavorful. The batter is light and not overly salty or greasy, which is greatly appreciated. Their Cane's Sauce is excellent! Pairs so well with the chicken fingers and fries. Our little one dips his bread in it too :D Sweet tea is on point as always. So grateful Raising Cane's is here and we can't wait till our next visit! read more

I had no idea they opened a Raising Canes near the Dulles Shopping Plaza but the minute I saw it I said YUP YUP let me hop right on the long drive thru line (which went pretty quickly and had 2 lanes). Canes keeps it simple with their menu because your options are tenders, tenders or more tenders and one chicken sandwich option, so I went with the tenders because that's what they're known for. The combo I went with had 4 tenders, fries, Texas toast, coleslaw, Canes sauce and a drink (all for about $11). Everything was FRESH and quite delish (I mean the coleslaw was the typical fast food coleslaw and nothing to write home about) and the meal absolutely hit the spot ... and they're open on Sunday when the Chick-Fila right across the street is closed which totally makes the length of the drive thru line make sense now lol! read more

Sooo, this restaurant is new to Northern VA. I was in the area so I decided to check it out. This place is busy, you think the line at Chick-fil-A is long, well, they have them beat. I know it's a first world problem, but I was in the drive thru line for at least 45 mins. Now on to the food, the food here is really good to me. My tenders and fries were fresh and hot, the toast was delicious, and the staff members that I interacted with were kind and helpful. I can't speak much on the ambiance since I picked up my food via the drive thru. I have been to Cane's in Los Angeles and it had a long line as well, so Im not sure if that will lessen as the days go by, but it's worth a visit. read more

Chicken was juicy and flavorful. Large tenders in The Box combo. Texas toast was tasty. Fries just so so. Atmosphere is hyped, especially well designed for a fast food place. Everyone was happy. It's not a place I'll go to a lot (fried food) but my family wanted to try it, and it was worth the trip and very good for fast food: friendly service, tasty (except the fries), and music was jamming. Good atmosphere. read more

Cane's is my favorite fast food place to eat, but lately the food has not been the best, the toast that was once amazingly and perfectly cooked is almost never as good.

So glad they opened up a Cane's in NOVA. I'm from the New Orleans area, and went to school at LSU, where I ate at the original Cane's location frequently. There is no difference between the Cane's here and the Cane's back home in terms of food quality. The chicken fingers are always fresh. I typically order a box combo with an extra Texas toast no slaw, an extra canes sauce, and lemonade. You have to understand that they do one thing (chicken fingers). While walking out I overheard some people commenting that maybe they will eventually do burgers/wings or expand their menu. But if you want those, you should go somewhere else. Go to Cane's for chicken fingers! read more

Dude. It's canes. Go. I learned about canes when I went to college. So, when I heard they're finally opening one in the DMV, I went opening weekend with some friends. An hour in that line, easily. Totally worth it. The place moves quick, service is great, and it's for the local flair like all the other canes. Plus there's merch up front for the real ones. I typically get the same thing every time: caniac, no toast, no slaw, extra extra fries. Pair that with a large sweet tea with no ice. You eat that, you go home, put on a movie/show/game, and just realize you're happy enough to just pass. Love canes. Will always go back. read more
